Ávila‎, Spain - March 03, 2025 Two missing hikers were found safe today in the rugged Sierra de Gredos. The Guardia Civil tracked them down in perfect health. They had vanished since Sunday. The pair never showed up at the Laguna Grande de Gredos refuge where they had a booking. The search began after authorities learned of their disappearance. The hikers were last seen on a trail. They didn’t return to their reserved spot. Rescue teams sprang into action. Bad weather hampered efforts Sunday night. A helicopter and trained specialists couldn’t find them. Darkness and storms forced a pause. Hope hung thin. Monday morning brought new energy. Elite mountain rescue teams from El Barco de Ávila, Navacerrada, Riaza, and Arenas de San Pedro joined forces. This time, they succeeded. The hikers turned up unharmed. They were well-equipped for risky treks. Top-notch gear kept them safe. Sources say they spent the night in another refuge. Relief swept through Ávila as the ordeal ended.
