A British woman who went missing while travelling home from Spain's Costa Blanca has been found.

Wendy Iles' daughter Louise shared the news on Tuesday afternoon, confirming that her mother and a camper van, which was thought to have been stolen, were found, however her dog is still missing.

Louise said late on Monday that she had last heard from her mum around 9pm on Sunday when she was in the Alfafar area near Valencia.

She said that Wendy, from Wiltshire, and her dog Beau were travelling from Cumbre del Sol near Javea to Caen, France, to get the ferry back to the UK but missed their ferry crossing on May 23.

She appealed for information on her mother's whereabouts on an expat forum, alongside a picture of her and the dog. 

Louise described her mum as: 'Under 5ft tall travelling with Springer Spaniel, although camper and passports now thought to be stolen. Phone now off.'

She replied to one well-wisher who asked why she thought the camper van and passports had been stolen, saying: 'I'm going with my last conversation with her where she was without the vehicle and had reported it stolen.'

After receiving an Interpol reference number, Louise added in a second social media post: 'If anyone I know has any family, friends or contacts in Spain please can you share this post with them to see if there has been any sightings of my mum in the Valencia area.

'British police will not track her bank transactions until she's classed as high risk, and Spanish police will not search until 48 hours have passed.

'Last heard from her 9pm UK time [Sunday] in the Alfafar area.

'She is very confused and did not turn up at the hotel I suggested she stay at whilst we get her camper van sorted. Phone not active since 9.45pm [Sunday].'

Last month Paul Daniel Strange, 70, vanished the same day he was due to start the long drive back in his van from the fishing and tourist town of Palomares in Almeria in south-eastern Spain to Essex where he lives.

The retired builder and locksmith, from Leigh-on-Sea, had been staying at a friend's apartment.

Fortunately dad-of-three Paul turned up safe and well within hours of his loved ones going public with a plea for help - but not before his son and son-in-law flew to Spain to look for him.

On February 11 British holidaymaker Iain Stanley, 79, vanished in Nerja on the eastern Costa del Sol after leaving an apartment near the town's Perla Marina hotel.

Tragically he was found dead after a week-long police search of the area.
