Authorities in Gran Canaria have launched an investigation following the discovery of a woman's body on a local beach. The incident took place yesterday afternoon, Saturday, at Playa Los Enanos beach, located in the San Andrés area within the municipality of Arucas.
The Guardia Civil confirmed the discovery and reported that, at present, the identity of the deceased woman remains unknown. Emergency services were alerted after the body was spotted on the shoreline, and officers quickly attended the scene to secure the area and begin preliminary enquiries.
At this stage, the circumstances surrounding the woman's death are unclear. An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of death, and a post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out in the coming days.
Local authorities have appealed for any witnesses who may have information related to the case to come forward, as efforts continue to establish the events leading up to the discovery.
This incident follows a series of recent tragedies in the Canary Islands, where bodies have been found in coastal areas, prompting heightened concern among residents and visitors alike. However, officials have emphasised that each case is being treated individually and that there is no immediate indication of a wider public safety threat.
Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
