A 26-year-old British man has died after falling from a bridge in Spain while attempting to create social media content, local authorities have confirmed.
The incident occurred at the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge in Talavera de la Reina, central Spain. The man, who has not been named, was accompanied by a 24-year-old British national when he fell from the 192-metre-high structure.
Macarena Muñoz, the city's councillor for citizen safety, said the pair had travelled to the bridge to 'create content' for social networks. She described the outcome as 'unfortunate and sad', adding that climbing the bridge was 'totally prohibited'.
The UK Foreign Office said it was supporting the man's family and was in contact with local authorities.
The Castilla-La Mancha Bridge, the tallest cable-stayed bridge in Spain, spans the Tagus River and has a main concrete pylon with cables in a triangular arrangement.
