Dozens of migrants were seen spilling out onto an idyllic remote cove after a motorboat dropped them off at a natural park.
Footage shows the boat, which had been carrying 52 migrants, already at the protected stretch of Spain’s coastline.
Moments later, it turned around and headed back out to sea.

The boat reached Cala de los Dentoles, also known as Cala Dorada, in the Calblanque Regional Park, near Cartagena, Murcia, at around 7:36 am yesterday (26 August).
An environmental officer witnessed the arrival and alerted emergency services.
The Guardia Civil monitored the boat’s route and launched an operation to intercept those who had disembarked, subsequently locating 50 migrants.
They are due to be handed over to the National Police, which will handle the relevant immigration procedures.
The latest arrival was the third similar incident on the Cartagena coast in just over a week, as reported by Need To Know.
On 19 August, a boat arrived at Cala del Barco, in Cabo Tiñoso, with the Guardia Civil eventually locating 62 people, including 15 minors.
Then, on Saturday (22 August), another speedboat reached Cala Dentoles carrying 49 migrants – 39 adult men, one woman and nine male minors.
Regional president Fernando López Miras wrote on social media yesterday: “Another speedboat carrying migrants arrived on the shores of the Region of Murcia this morning with complete impunity.
“Given the seriousness of the situation, the regional Cabinet will meet tomorrow in Cartagena. The Spanish Government’s dereliction of duty is unacceptable. The Guardia Civil cannot continue to lack the resources to stop the criminal gangs.
“We demand control of our coastline. This has to end now.”
