Dr Gavin Naylor, director of TheProgram of Shark Research, said scientists at this stage simply cannot know what appears to drawing in the predatory fish.
But he did assure tourists that the area is not becoming a "dangerous hotspot" - and said the shark flurry could be a one-off event. Blue sharks - which can grow up to 10ft long and weigh up to 200kg - appear to be behind most of the sightings in June.- a species that usually lives right at the bottom of the sea, which approached a group of fisherman.
Dr Naylor said right now there is no explanation for the sightings - but speculated a mix of conditions such as water temperatures, food and changing shark nurseries could explain the encounters. Five sharks came close to the shoreline in different parts of Spain within a period of just 10 days in June.
