In the final phase of an unprecedented operation, eight miners they dug for 30 hours a horizontal tunnel of nearly four meters to reach the place where was the body of Julen, the two-year-old boy who fell in Malaga thirteen days ago.

This is the last effort of a multidisciplinary team of lifeguards who they worked against the clock to try to make the child alive after it has fallen into the well at more than one hundred meters deep and 25 centimeters in diameter.

The eight miners descended into a vertical tunnel about 80 meters deep parallel to Julen's whereabouts. They went down to two with bottles of oxygen and every 35 minutes they took turns. During the 30 hours of manual excavation they had to perform several microvoladuras because of the extreme hardness of the ground, which prolonged the operation.
