A British holidaymaker had to be rescued by firefighters after falling asleep on top of a bridge following a night out on the Costa del Sol.
The tourist picked the most uncomfortable bed in Malaga after a few too many drinks at the city's annual summer festival.
Police were sent to the city centre bridge - known as the Bridge of the Germans because it was gifted to the city by Germany - after calls from worried passers-by around 2am on Saturday.
Bemused officers failed to spot him at first - before looking up at the arches over the emblematic steel bridge and seeing him lying outstretched on his back on one of them.
The bizarre incident got even stranger when they failed to rouse him from his deep sleep - and had to call firefighters who reached him using an extendable ladder.
