A brave expat pulled a man out of the Cuevas boating lake last week after hearing shouts from the water on his early morning jog.
Nick Spatoni, a 63-year-old British resident of Los Pinares, was out running with his dog around 9am last Friday (June 16) when he heard someone shouting for help in Spanish.
As he approached the lake he saw a man with only his head above water, struggling to climb up the steep concrete sides of the man-made lagoon, built for rowing trials for the 2005 Mediterranean Games.
