A 22-YEAR-OLD woman swept away by the waves off a Galicia beach during the storms has been found dead after a local resident spotted her and called emergency services.
She has been named as Andrea Domínguez, and disappeared 11 days ago off the rocky promenade between Orzán and Riazor beaches in the province of A Coruña.
Coastguard officials and the fire brigade went out to where the body had been spotted and found Andrea about 200 metres from where she vanished.
A post-mortem will be carried out as standard procedure.
Andrea's sister and father were given support by counsellors on site when she was washed away by the tidal surge during the latest freak storms, which brought torrential rain and high winds to most of the country and snow in the north.
The family found out Andrea's body had been found via the media, says the local council, who have since spoken to her father.
A MAN declared dead at his home in the province of Tarragona was on his way to the funeral parlour when he turned out to be alive, according to police sources.
A NEW child protection law named after a British musician living in Spain has been approved in Congress and is set to be signed off by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, June 8.
