Lost: Lost Irish Passport Between San Pedro and marbella promonade

Hi Keava, sorry to hear that, I sympathise, I lost my UK passport earlier this year. Retraced steps, cafes/bars I’d been to, also asked at police station in hope it had been handed in. No luck but maybe you can try that

Applied for temporary passport online & was able to pick up 2 days later from UK embassy Malaga. Hopefully the Irish have similar system, although unfortunately too late for your flight

I read on one of the travel advice sites, to carry a photocopy rather than the original, that’ll probably be good enough (no guarantee) if you’re asked to show it . Never been asked in 4 years regular visits

 I now only take my original out if I know I’ll need it, eg identification at town hall etc.

Good luck
