World record completed

Shortly after 9am, with the assistance of members of the Motril Speleological Activities Group, Beatriz emerged from her solitude into the light of day once again. She was reportedly in apparent good health and wearing a beaming smile as she left her home of more than 16 months.

Two speleologists and a psychologist entered the cave earlier on the day, to prepare Beatriz for her eventual return to the outside world. Waiting outside the cave were her friends, who welcomed the lady who had entered her new home aged 48 and today left it at the age of 50.

She did not hesitate to thank and highlight the professionalism of the group of psychologists, speleologists and physical trainers who had been involved in the project.

During her time underground, a schedule was in place with the speleologists, where food delivery and garbage removal took place without any communication.
