A foreign tourist, around 45 years old, suffered a serious heat stroke on Monday afternoon in Sa Pedrera (also known locally as Atlantis), Ibiza. Firefighters responded swiftly after receiving the emergency call and were able to rescue the individual from the area.
What Happened
The tourist was overcome by the intense heat while exploring the rocky terrain of Sa Pedrera, a location known for its rugged landscape and minimal shade.
