CNN —A 26-year-old British man has died after falling from Spain’s tallest bridge during an attempt to climb one of its pylons.
Local councillor Macarena Muñoz said he was accompanied by another British man, aged 24.
“According to what we have been able to find out they had come to Talavera to climb the bridge and create content for social media,” Muñoz said in the statement.
The British man is far from the first person to die in the pursuit of social media content in recent years.
And in November 2019 a French tourist died after falling from a waterfall in Thailand while attempting to take a selfie.
