The body of a missing British man has reportedly been found at the entrance to a stunning natural park in Lanzarote.
The unnamed holidaymaker is thought to have got lost while hiking in the south of the island although police are yet to make any official comment.
His body was found at the entrance to Los Ajaches, a protected natural park and beautiful area of mountains and beaches.
The exact spot where the dead man was discovered has been described as being between Playa Mujeres, one of the most spectacular beaches in Lanzarote with fine white sand, and another beach called Playa de Las Coloradas east of the town of Playa Blanca.
It was not clear last night what could have happened, although visitors to the area are warned to wear good footwear as the paths are quite rocky.

Police are expected to release more details about the discovery tomorrow.
