There have been numerous rescues this Easter on the Basque coast
These days there have been situations close to the blurring of the holidays, and there have been numerous rescues at sea, both of people who have been surprised by the rise of the tide and of people dragged by the currents or caught by the waves, and fortunately there have been no casualties.
The Basque beaches and coasts have been overflowing this Holy Week with citizens and visitors who, driven by the good weather, have approached to enjoy the coast and the sea. However, there have been situations of danger close to the blurring of the holidays.
In fact, there have been numerous rescues at sea, both of people who have been surprised by the rise of the tide and of people dragged by the currents or caught by the waves. They have all gone through moments of distress and, thanks to the rapid intervention of the Emergency Services and other users, have been resolved without further consequences.
Among the rescues carried out are the four that have had to be carried out in Lekeitio/Mendexa, all linked to the passage to the island. On Friday three people were rescued, six others on Saturday (two adults and four children), a couple on Sunday and three others on Monday, who had to be taken to Gernika Hospital.
In Muskiz, two people had to be rescued on Monday afternoon when they were about to drown.
During these days, two drifting vessels, one in Hondarribia and the other in Zierbena, have also had to be rescued.
In Bakio they rescued a surfer who was unable to get out of the water, and in San Sebastian, too, they rescued a swimmer who had been left in the current.
