Three people have been saved on La Rumina beach in Mojacar just hours after a man drowned on another nearby Mojacar beach.
Emergency services were called at 18:20 after the three people were spotted struggling against currents offshore.
Two of the people were rescued by Civil protection units and the third was rescued by other bathers. All were taken to the medical centre for a checkup, being exhausted and cold but are said to be in good health.
