The coast of Ribadedeva at Pimiango claimed the life of a local man yesterday. Roberto García left his home at six in the morning to fish at his usual spot near where the Tinamayor river enters the ocean. And this was the spot where he lost his life. His body was found half-submerged in one of the three caves at the base of the cliffs, at 5:40 p.m. the same day after his car was seen on a nearby path. He had last spoken to his family by mobile telephone at eleven that morning. Emergency services were called by his family at four in the afternoon and began the hour and a half long search for him.
