Two beaches were closed when a 2-metre shark was spotted ‘loitering with intent.’

The Guardia Civil suggested with insistence that bathers on Playa Fortí and Playa Fora Forate de Vinaros in Castellon should abandon the water whilst the beastie, a blue shark, practiced a touch of local tourism.

If you want a close look at a blue shark, then pop down to Mercadona, because they sell it by the kilo (tintorera). Buy a steak, cook it, and get your wife to take a photo of you munching on it, post it on facebook, entitled, ‘man eating shark’ (what a difference a hyphen makes, eh?).
