A sting from a Portuguese Man o’ War (Physalia physalis) jellyfish can be excruciatingly painful, and although the stings suffered by seven bathers in the Costa Blanca holiday resort on the southeastern coast of Spain were only “minor,” five of those stung were taken to hospital.
According to The Daily Mail, two of the jellyfish were seen in the area—the first at Mal Pas beach, just northeast of Alcudia, and the second one at Levante beach, one of Europe’s well-known beaches.
