Another strange creature washes up from the deep JUST two weeks after a strange creature from the deep was washed up on a beach in Villaricos, another giant fish has surfaced off the coast of Almeria. A resident of the town of Adra
found a curious specimen of fish while practising kayaking in the area of El Lance de la Virgen approximately 600 to 800 metres from the shore. The fish appeared to have been
