A patera boat with 39 adult passengers from Sub-Saharan Africa on board, including two women, was intercepted off the Granada coast on Tuesday afternoon, some 35 miles to the south of Motril.
They were rescued by the Coastguard boat, the ‘Salvamar Hamal’, and reached port in Motril at around 8.30 on Tuesday evening, where they were attended by volunteers from the Cruz Roja organisation.
It’s understood that none of the group required hospital treatment.
Another seven passengers were rescued of the coast of Almería on Tuesday after their boat was spotted from the air by a Civil Guard aircraft. The six male passengers on the 5-metre boat were rescued some 50 miles south of Garrucha and reached port in Almería shortly before 7pm.
