The alarm was raised at around 5.40am and emergency services and police rushed to the adult-only Jet Apartments where the Brit was stabilised before being transferred.

Police have launched a probe into exactly what happened and enquiries are ongoing although there has been no official comment from the Guardia Civil.

In August 2017, Brit Carl Shepherd, 28, died at the same apartment complex after a three-floor tumble at 5.30am.

The tourist, known as Daniel to his friends and family, had reportedly fallen asleep on a ledge between the terrace of his apartment and a neighbouring apartment when he fell.

Last month, a 23-year-old British holidaymaker plunged to his death after falling from an historic cannon in the popular Barcelona coastal town of Sitges after a night out with friends.
