Police have called on volunteers to help with a large-scale search for missing British teenager Jay Slater.
The Spanish Guardia Civil said the search will begin in Tenerife on Saturday and called on “private volunteers” with expertise in difficult terrain to help.
Mr Slater, 19, has not been heard from since the morning of 17 June, when he failed to return to his accommodation in the south of the island.
The search will focus on the ravines and trails around the village of Masca, and will start from the Mirador de la Cruz de Hilda restaurant.
Mr Slater’s last known location was in a mountainous area near the village, which is about 40 minutes drive from where he was staying.
The Guardia Civil said it was calling on specialist voluntary organisations including firefighters and civil protection teams.
A spokesperson described the terrain as “a steep, rocky area, full of unevenness and with a multitude of ravines, trails and paths.”
The force added that it was also calling on members of the public to help, but only those with expertise in such conditions.
The search is due to take place from 09:00 BST in Masca.
