A British man has died after falling from a hill in northern Spain, according to local reports. The 38-year-old is believed to have fallen from a considerable height from Mount Urgull in San Sebastian on Friday.
The incident occurred at the Baluarte del Mirador observation point on the eastern side of the 400ft hill, as reported by El Diario Vasco. Emergency services, including firefighters and Basque police, were dispatched to the scene at around 11am local time after a passer-by discovered the man's body along the Paseo Nuevo promenade.
Spanish authorities have opened an investigation to establish the circumstances of the death. The man's body has been transferred to the Basque Institute of Legal Medicine for an autopsy.
Mount Urgull is a historic hill in San Sebastian, located between the city's Old Town and La Concha Bay.
