And this Thursday another stingray has been detected in the same waters, according to betevé. Municipal sources confirm to EL PERIÓDICO that the Catalan Federation of Underwater Activities has observed a second individual.

The first of the two stingrays sighted has a sting in its tail, with which "it can cause serious injuries to people nearby", Giménez Font warned. "It is not an aggressive species and is in its natural environment, but if it feels threatened it can sting," insisted the municipal official, who added that this is the first time the species has been sighted so close to Barcelona.
