A major search operation is currently underway in the Masca area of Tenerife as authorities continue efforts to locate a 68-year-old man who has been missing since last Monday, 21st April.
Jesús was last seen in La Matanza de Acentejo, but the focus of the search shifted to Masca, in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte, after his vehicle was discovered in the area. Emergency services, including units from the Guardia Civil, Civil Protection, and specialist search teams, have been deployed to comb the surrounding landscape.
The missing persons’ organisation SOS Desaparecidos continues to maintain an active alert for Jesús. According to their description, he is 1.80 metres tall, of slim build, with grey hair and brown eyes.
Since the discovery of his car, emergency teams have been working intensively to try to locate him, with operations concentrated in the rugged terrain of the Masca region, known for its steep ravines and dense vegetation.
This area is renowned for being difficult to locate people, due to the terrain, especially following the Jay Slater case last June, when the 19-year-old British holidaymaker was found at the bottom of the valley after being missing for several weeks.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have seen Jesús or who has any information that could assist the search to come forward. SOS Desaparecidos has provided contact numbers for the public to share information: 649 952 957 and 644 712 806.
