Police today stepped up their search which involves the use of four wheel drive vehicles, fire and rescue crews, two helicopters, sniffer dogs, mapping experts from Madrid and a large team of police officers and local mountain rescue guides.
Spanish police searching for missing teenager Amy Fitzpatrick have found a pair of leggings in a ravine about 100m from where she was last seen.
The black leggings have been taken away for examination.
The teenager was wearing a pair of black tracksuit bottoms when she went missing nine days ago, near her home in Fuengirola on the Costa Del Sol.
Her mother Audrey arrived at the scene of the search this morning and again issued an appeal for information.

Whilst there was a turnout of volunteers
