Tenerife, a popular holiday destination in Spain’s Canary Islands, has been struck by tragedy as powerful waves claimed three lives and left 15 others injured. Emergency services reported on Sunday that a woman died after being swept into the ocean near the Puerto de la Cruz resort, while a man lost his life in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A third victim was discovered in the waters near a beach in Granadilla. Rescue teams airlifted a man who fell into the sea at La Guancha in the island’s north, but he later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. Another man was found floating near El Cabezo beach in the south, where lifeguards and medical personnel were unable to revive him. At Puerto de la Cruz, a woman died of a heart attack, and 10 others were swept out to sea, with three sustaining serious injuries. Pedro, a local waiter, recounted his heroic efforts to save those in distress, managing to rescue three individuals but tragically failing to save a woman who passed away at the scene. Eyewitness Carlos expressed frustration at tourists ignoring warnings to stay away from the dangerous waves. Authorities have issued alerts for coastal hazards across the Canary Islands, predicting worsening sea conditions with swells reaching two-to-four meters. Both tourists and locals are urged to exercise extreme caution.
