A BRITISH man has been found after disappearing from the Costa del Sol during a day out with his wife.
David Berry (pictured left and right, moments after being found) had last been seen at the Panda Bar in Benalmadena on Monday, at around 3.30pm.
Concerns were growing among friends and family as he had no phone or money on him.
But fortunately, little over 24 hours since he vanished, he was found safe and well.
It came after a night of extreme weather which saw an orange-level alert activated across Malaga province for strong rainfall and thunder.
An orange alert is the second most serious after red and means there is a ‘significant risk’ to life.
A statement from his family today said: “He is safe and well, a little confused but now back in the safe hands of his lovely wife elaine….
“A huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everybody’s support and the power of social media… it’s been a very worrying 26 hours and you have all been amazing.”
In the original appeal to find David, his friend wrote: “Our friend David Berry has gone missing… he gets very confused and doesn’t know his sense of direction.
“He was last seen at the Panda Bar near the marina at the end of the paseo before he got separated from his wife.”
