The accident occurred around midday this Tuesday in an area close to Roque Nublo, one of Gran Canaria’s foremost natural and tourist landmarks. After receiving the alert, the Canary Islands 112 Emergency and Security Coordination Centre activated the rescue operation.

Rescuers from the Canary Islands Government’s Emergency and Rescue Group (GES) were dispatched to the scene, where they managed to reach the hiker and provide initial assistance.
