Brit rescue TRAPPED: The British walkers were found on La Concha.
By Joe Gerrard GUARDIA CIVIL officers were called out to a mountain near Marbella after two British hikers became trapped there in the early hours of Monday. Police sources said the walkers lost their way while trying to descend from the peak of La Concha mountain, near the town of Istan. Guardia Civil mountain rescue officers were
despatched after being alerted to them. They were found near the Monchalban ravine without injuries, according to police sources. The rescue comes days after a Guardia Civil helicopter crew was despatched to the mountain to rescue four people, two of whom suffered dehydration and heat stroke. A Danish father and daughter were the ones who suffered from dehydration and heat stroke. The other two
hikers, from Alava in the Basque Country, were found separately and unharmed, Guardia Civil sources said. La Concha mountain is the
second highest peak in the Sierra Blanca range which lies between Istan, Ojen and Marbella. Its summit is around 1,270 metres high.
