The search for missing teenager Jay Slater has moved to some caves next to a ravine in a remote part of Tenerife.
The 19-year-old flew from Lancashire to the Canary Islands for a music festival but disappeared after he went to stay with people he met during a night out on June 16.
During his final call to his friend Lucy Law at 8am local time last Monday, the 19-year-old said his phone had only one per cent battery, he was thirsty and he did not know where he was.
His last location showed he was in the Rural de Teno Park – an area popular among hikers. He has not been seen since.
Today marks the twelfth day of searching for the teenager, with teams focusing on three different areas – the Masca Gorge, La Vica, and Las Portelas, as well as the surrounding Masca area.
Now, the search crews have turned their attention to a new area – a ravine with caves near Los Carrizales, The Independent has reported.
A Civil Guard spokesman said today: “The Civil Guard is continuing to search for the young British man who disappeared, carrying out inspections of all the paths, trails and ravines belonging to the village of Masca within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte.”
