It doesn't look good, but here is hopeing against hope that the lad turns up.

What is the crack with this wall? 3ft, 10ft, 100ft drop in to the sea?

Its on the front at Calleo Salvaje. A small wall with a view of the ocean there is a bit of a parapet on the other side but it is on a cliff - really big drop!

Knowing the village well, on the other side of the wall is varying amounts of cliff edge to sheer drop off, and the cliff edge is surprisingly unstable for having a wall on it.

Calleo is also known for the currents which run past it - very strong and very unpredicatable, I visit at least twice and year and have never done a shore dive from that part of the coast for that reason (the next village down the coast and the old Banana plantation up the coast are fine the currents seem to touch the headland at Calleo then head back out to sea). It has no beach because while busy building it they realised it would be unsafe to do so thanks to the nature of the local currents - and the first couple of tonnes of sand dumped got washed away within days because they put the breakwater where the only fishing quay was.

As much as I and anyone else connected with the village would love to have a happy ending the mutterings in the village are that his body is unlikely to be found as it'll be somewhere in the deep water out towards La Gomerra by now. :(
