She was found conscious, but trapped in a well in a remote part of the Chillar valley walk. Three young walkers came across her today in the area known as Cortijo El Imán, Barranco del Infierno and Cortijo del Cuervo.

Protección Civil, Firemen from

both Nerja and Vélez-Málaga and local police went to the scene, but for the main rescue the SERIM mountain rescue unit of the Guardia Civil was called in by helicopter from Granada province.

She is not reported to have been injured, just trapped, and survived thanks to a small waterfall from which she could drink.

Some good news!

Very good news wjk, one very lucky lady.

I am glad about this - it must have been an awful experience. Thank goodness for these ramblers who found her. Always a good idea to have companions when trekking/rambling.

Heavens!! How awful for her!
