A TOURIST has been found alive 18 days after falling into a deep hole while walking in Spanish mountains.

A group of mountaineers found Dutch woman Mary-Anne Goossens, 48, trapped among boulders close to the source of the Chillar River outside the resort town of Nerja.

They were unable to rescue her, but left food and clothing before alerting regional emergency services. She was reported to be weak but uninjured.
