A PENSIONER has drowned while holidaying on the Costa del Sol.
The 83-year-old man was found floating in the sea at the beach of Torrox Costa at 6pm on Sunday.
Fellow beachgoers pulled the unidentified German man out of water, but were unable to resuscitate him.
Police and paramedics also arrived on the scene, near the Laguna Beach urbanization, but could not save him.
He had been staying at a nearby hotel for a few days with his wife, who found that he had drifted 300 metres from where they were first sunbathing.
It comes after another man drowned on Sunday, at around 11am on Bajondillo beach in Torremolinos.
That victim was a 64-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
