A second shark has been spotted by the Spanish coastline – sparking fears for locals and tourists in the area.
In Spain, a blue shark was blamed for an attack on a holidaymaker in Elche near Alicante in July 2016.What is a blue shark?
Blue sharks are curious, open-ocean predators that live throughout the global ocean, from the tropics to cold temperate waters. It has serrated teeth and usually eats fish and cephalopods such as squid – they very rarely attack humans.First aiders described the bite as ‘large’ and said he had come out of the sea with blood streaming from the injury.
In August 2018 tourists fled the sea in panic after a blue shark, among the most common in Spain, appeared off the packed Majorcan beach of Calas de Majorca on the island’s east coast. In April a near seven-foot shark also believed to be a tintorera was filmed in the surf on the southeast coast of Majorca at a nearby beach called Cala Llombards.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
