The family and friends of a British holidaymaker missing in Benidorm have said they are « worried sick » in an appeal for information on his whereabouts. Police have been contacted regarding the man, identified as Ryan, who is said to be travelling on his own without a phone.
One of his friends said he was last seen walking towards Benidorm’s old town. His sister Donna Cullen said Ryan is « solo travelling with no phone and possibly no money » and grieving the loss of his mum. She wrote in an expat Facebook group: « We just want him found safe and sound and on his way home. »
Donna, from Saltcoats in North Ayrshire, denied speculation that her brother had been found and was okay.
She added: « This isn’t true. He is still very much missing and we need everyone who is there to keep an eye out please!! He is solo travelling, with no phone and possibly money now. »
A group of British women said on Wednesday that they walked Ryan back to his hotel after finding him « very drunk on the street ». However, Donna said he’d since changed his accommodation.
She said: « We have contacted the hotel where the lovely ladies dropped him off (Thank you so much u kind souls) but were told he left not long after.
« He is actually staying at Apartmentos Finestrat in Old town Benidorm who we can’t get anything from due to language barriers so if anyone happens to be staying here or around this area pls pls keep a look out for us. Thank you for all the kind words from most on the previous post.
« Yes he is a Rangers fan in a bit of a state but he is a son grieving his mother a year to the day, a very loved brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend who is missing in another country from us and we just want him found safe and sound and on his way home.
« Please share his picture and keep looking out for him. »
Ryan’s aunt added in a post on X: « My nephew Ryan is missing. If anyone in Benidorm can look out for him or if they see him please contact the family who are worried sick and just want him safe and to bring him home. »
Bars in Benidorm have also been sharing the appeals, with the Corner Bar Benidorm saying on Thursday: « This is Ryan. He is missing in Benidorm. Was staying in the Old Town. His family are very concerned for him.
« Benidorm is packed at the moment with 10s of thousands of Brits…his family are asking you to keep an eye out. Cheers. »
