The 64-year-old Brit is believed to have lost his balance at the Robo River in Puente la Reina, a historic town in the Navarre region of northern Spain
A British pilgrim has died after falling into a northern Spanish river.
The 64-year-old is believed to have lost his balance after trying to cross an improvised bridge made out of tree trunks near to a hotel.
His body was discovered early this morning in the Robo River in Puente la Reina – a town along the famous Way of St James pilgrimage route to the Galician cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela. A local who made the grim discovery called the police.
Officers arrived alongside firefighters and emergency medical responders, but there was tragically nothing they could do to save him.
It is thought the unnamed man’s body could have lain undiscovered for several hours as he had failed to turn up at the accommodation he had booked to sleep in that night.
