Brit walks for 20 hours to find Consulate after Barcelona stag do disappearance
Wednesday, April 15, 2015 @ 10:04 AM

A BRITISH father-of-two who disappeared after a stag party in Barcelona showed up at the Consulate after having walked non-stop for 20 hours.

Marc Carn, 29, was reported missing when he failed to catch his return flight home to Plymouth, Devon (UK) on Sunday.

His partner Emma Harvey, 31, said Tuesday this week was their twin sons Stanley and Freddie's first birthday and he 'would never have wanted to miss it'.

Building firm owner Marc was drinking with friends at Flaherty's Irish bar on the lively tourist street, Las Ramblas, in Barcelona city centre on Saturday when he was last seen.

He says he had hailed a cab to take him back to hotel, but that the driver 'took him miles out of the city'.

When Marc told him his hotel was nowhere near where they were heading, the driver allegedly threw him out of the taxi and told him to 'find his own way home'.

The reveller's phone battery had gone flat and he had spent all his money in the bar, so had no way of calling for help.

He decided to walk back in the direction of the city and, as the hours wore on and he knew he was definitely going to miss his flight, began to search for the British Consulate.

It took him from Saturday night until Monday morning – 20 hours in total – to get there.

His sister-in-law Anna Harvey said she and the family were 'ecstatic' to learn he had been found alive and well after having feared the worst for nearly two days.
