In a harrowing incident that unfolded on the western coast of Tenerife, a substantial wave engulfed several individuals, claiming the lives of four tourists. The drama unfolded near Los Gigantes, where one person remains unaccounted for amid the chaos. Initial reports from authorities confirmed three fatalities, but the tragic situation quickly escalated.

The catastrophe struck shortly after 4 PM at one of the popular natural pools frequented by visitors. A large number of people were enjoying their time on the rocks and in the water when an unexpected surge swept through, pulling them into its depths. According to emergency services on the Canary Islands, many were swept away by the force of the wave, with some being foreign tourists.

Rescue operations involved a helicopter, which managed to retrieve one individual alive, while another was recovered deceased from the water. Initially, reports indicated the death of two men and a woman—a 35-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman. Sadly, later updates revealed that an additional woman succumbed to her injuries after being flown to the hospital for treatment. Current information does not confirm whether any Germans were among the victims.
