A paraglider enthusiast was injured in a flying accident within the municipality of Níjar in Almería.
The incident occurred shortly before 14.00h, which was when 112 received an emergency call requesting medical assistance.
The pilot had come down badly in the parking area of Playa Los Genoveses in the municipal dependency of San José, so the emergency centre despatched the Guardia Civil, Policía Local, an ambulance as well as informing, as per the protocol, the Control de Tránsito Aéreo.
The 40-year-old man was taken to Hospital Torrecárdenas, with a possible fractured hip, according to the Guardia Civil.
Editorial comment: Playa Los Genoveses is probably one of the most beautiful, totally unspoilt beaches, along the eastern end of the Andalusian Coast.
