THE Olive Press is launching an urgent appeal to readers in Barcelona and beyond as the search for an American college student who vanished on a Barcelona night out continues. 

James ‘Jimmy’ Grace, a university-aged man, was visiting friends who are studying abroad and disappeared after a night out. 

He was last seen leaving Shoko nightclub at around 3am but never returned to his Airbnb on Ronda de Sant Pere.

At the time of his disappearance Grace was wearing a white t-shirt and dark trousers, believed to be joggers. He also wears a distinctive gold chain with a rhinestone cross.

Posting their own appeals on social media, his family are concerned and hoping that the public can help them to locate him.
