A curious incident unfolded on Tuesday afternoon in San Javier when several drivers encountered an unexpected shower of money on the street. Witnesses reported that cash began to flutter in the air along Avenida Aviación Española, and as onlookers approached, they realised the papers were actual banknotes. Some drivers stopped, and pedestrians rushed towards the scattered cash, crossing the road to retrieve the flying notes.
One woman managed to collect a total of five hundred and eighty euros in various denominations. Rather than keeping the money for herself, she decided to hand it over to local police and report what had occurred. Municipal sources have explained that the money had likely been inside a half-open envelope on the ground, and the draught from a passing car caused the notes to disperse.
The full amount that was scattered remains unknown, as while many gathered notes, not everyone opted to return them. The incident bore a striking resemblance to a famous scene from the film ‘Point Break’, where characters throw wads of cash from a car after a robbery. However, this scenario was far less spectacular yet equally fascinating for those who witnessed it.
The identity of the money’s rightful owner is still unclear, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding this unusual occurrence. Local authorities will likely be investigating further to determine if there are any claims to the scattered funds.
