A major search operation is underway in southern Portugal after a 23-year-old British tourist disappeared while swimming at Peneco Beach in Albufeira. The alarm was raised on 11 June, sparking an urgent response from emergency services along the Algarve's Atlantic coast.
The missing man, who has not been named, entered the water with a 19-year-old companion. While the younger swimmer reached the shore safely and did not require medical treatment, the 23-year-old was separated from his friend and vanished into the sea. His current whereabouts remain unknown as local authorities continue their efforts to locate him.
