The 72-year-old man was pulled unconscious from the water around 3.30pm on Thursday at a beach in the resort town of Guardamar del Segura in Costa Blanca. Another British tourist died in June trying to save two children who were struggling in the water at La Roqueta beach in Guardamar de Segur. The prevailing sea conditions are very dangerous, with strong dragging currents making bathing unadvisable.” Two days later, a 77-year-old man died on La Roqueta beach, having been pulled out of the water in an unconscious state.
