The corpse was discovered in Ubeda, around an 80-minute drive from missing US cyclist Matt Opperman’s last known location.
The cases are unrelated, however, with the body in the olive grove belonging to someone aged around 30 – while the missing American expat is 50.
According to Cadena SER Ubeda, police believe the corpse could belong to a young man who has been missing since January 10.
He was found without documentation and with no apparent signs of violence. He was also half-dressed.
It is believed he had been dead for around 24 hours when the discovery was made.
His body has been transferred for an autopsy to establish the cause of death.
