A British woman has been found dead and a British man is missing after they were apparently swept away in a flash flood while hiking in Majorca.<\/p>\n

They were on a trail that leads through a small canyon to the sea when the storm hit the Spanish island on Tuesday, Spain’s Civil Guard said.<\/p>\n

The police initially said they had found the body of a man and were searching for the woman, but on Wednesday corrected it to say the body was of a woman.<\/p>\n

Emergency services have been searching near a canyon called the Torrent de Pareis in the Tramuntana mountain range.<\/p>\n

The Balearic Islands and a large area of Spain’s eastern coast were under alert for strong winds and heavy rains.<\/p>\n

The region has been experiencing extremely wet weather in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Firefighters said on X last month they had cordoned off areas in Majorca<\/strong><\/a>‘s capital Palma and evacuated 29 people from a train on the line between the city and Manacor due to the flooding.<\/p>\n

More than 50 flights were cancelled across airports in the Balearic Islands since the rainstorm started mid-August, Spanish airport operator Aena said on 14 August.<\/p>\n

More thunderstorms over Barcelona forced the organisers of the America’s Cup sailing event to postpone racing.<\/p>\n

That decision came after lightning struck near a yacht on Tuesday, forcing a race to be abandoned.<\/p>\n
