At least 60 tourists, including children and elderly guests, were hospitalized following a gas-related incident at a hotel pool facility in Benahavís, near Marbella on Spain’s Costa del Sol.
The emergency occurred early Monday morning, prompting a significant medical response in the region.
Local media reports indicate that the incident involved the pool’s infrastructure, leading to respiratory distress among those present.
Emergency services transported the affected individuals to nearby medical centers for treatment.
While the exact cause of the gas release is still under investigation, authorities have secured the area to prevent further exposure.
Despite the severity of the local incident, there is no evidence to suggest a broader disruption to Spain’s natural gas supply or regional energy infrastructure.
