Do we know if the spanish LE have made an appeal to anyone who was driving that road and may have seen Jay to contact them?

I imagine they did.
Or at least checked whatever cameras there are for vehicles behaving suspiciously.
I still think a RTA is the most likely scenario..
BUT, if he was hit on the road I imagine the dogs would have picked up his scent.
Do we know why the mountain rescue wasn't notified immediately after he was reported missing?
To me it's strange. At least where I'm from the mountain rescue will start the search/rescue operations as soon as physically possible.
Is this a standard procedure in Spain to wait a certain period of time before the search starts?

when do you believe they were notified and do you have a link please?
Good point. Not sure when they were notified.
According to the Standard's timeline the police and mountain rescue search hasn't started until Tuesday morning. My question is is the delay normal? If it is, that would definitely put me off ever hiking in Spain
Timeline: The search for missing teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife
Edit: typo
This. They have searched these areas, but admittedly not all on foot. We all know that in these types of search you can walk right past a body too. Just hoping the scale of today’s search yields some results.

Jay Slater: New search for missing teenager almost two weeks after 19-year-old's disappearance
Volunteers with experience navigating difficult terrain were requested by police to help in the search for the missing teenager from Lancashire.
The two men are not relevant according to this article.
Lucy said she reported him missing to Police that morning but they may not have called in SAR until the next day when he had still not returned

Volunteer Juan Garcia told Sky News: “It’s hard, it’s a very difficult area and very hard to walk. A few kilometers take a long time.”

A well-placed source from The Civil Guard said: “No-one at the moment is talking about the search being brought to an end, even though it’s very unlikely Jay has survived if he got lost in the mountains in the way we were told he did."

And he wasn't exactly a hiker/mountain climber,
but a missing teen from the rave festival.
And had a bus stop next to the rental.
I doubt any Police in any country would start combing the mountains the minute they were notified.

The wording is interesting " if he got lost in the mountains in the way we were told he did ". A big IF in MOOVolunteer Juan Garcia told Sky News: “It’s hard, it’s a very difficult area and very hard to walk. A few kilometers take a long time.”

So now it's alleged that either an expensive watch or drugs were stolen outside the nightclub. Would this have any bearing on his disappearance? Possibly. This case gets more convoluted every day!
He was reported lost in mountains and injured.
Doesn't need to be a hiker. I'd expect they'd at least send a patrol to check the area if they didn't believe he was on the trail
Apologies. I sent before finishing typing.
What I wanted to add that it wasn't the case of someone disappearing after the rave and family not being able to find them
He himself asked for help because he was lost.

Are you English?
I ask because it would be a huge waste of resources if mountain rescue was mobilised for person on an English summer lad's trip who was late getting back from a night of drinking/drugs/after partying, that's pretty standard stuff for that type of trip ime
We're hearing about the one case where someone didn't come home, not all of the ones where a hungover teen rolls up later in the day the worse for wear.
I may be wrong but I get the impression you might be from somewhere that mountain hiking is routine, very much not the case for Jay and his group
Even if the person said they need help because they are lost, dehydrated and injured? I definitely do not think it'd be a waste of resources in that case.
Charging them for the search and rescue is a different topic.
The article that mentions an incident, also mentions that they are checking to see if there is actually a connection. Which implies there is no clear connection. It was a fight outside a rather large rave, probably one of many altercations that night. I guess they’d have to check anything that could be linked - and they do state they are looking at other alternatives as part of the investigation. For me though, clearly not linked at all or convoluted. Lost in the wilderness, by his own admission.

During a press conference this morning at Mirador La Cruz de Hilda, a key location in the search, the Civil Guard discussed the challenges they've faced while trying to locate Jay. "We know to a certain science that he was here because the coverage of his phone its undeniable that he was around this point. And that's where we have difficulties, because once you turn off your phone, it can no longer be traced," they explained.
"So while he was walking - and we don't know how long he could have walked for - with his phone switched off, no antenna is going to pick that up. And the technology we have - it traces phones, but not people. We have certain clues, and we have to stick to those."
When asked about 'the two English men - when did he and when will you talk to them?
' Mr Martin responded: "The part of the investigators on the case - which isn't us, we are in charge of actually doing the search on the mountain - they are the ones in charge of doing the investigation. They have already spoken to the men and it didn't have any point of relevance to the case."

"Today feels like the beginning
of one last push
to try to find missing teenager.
View attachment 514119
In a corner of Tenerife,
a winding, narrow road takes you towards a small village called Masca.
At points on the route, the view of the sea below and the mountains above is breathtaking.
In the 13 days since the disappearance of Jay Slater,
a 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire,
the hikers and tourists who come to Masca have been joined by two more groups of people.
The first are the emergency services,
including the civil guard, volunteer firefighters
and mountain rescue teams
carrying out the so-far unsuccessful search for Jay.
The second group are journalists,
trying to understand a case shrouded in speculation and questions.
It's a period that promises to be pivotal,
with the Spanish Civil Guard calling on volunteer agencies such as Civil Protection and firefighters,
as well as
'individual volunteers who are experts in rugged search terrain'.
In a case that has seen every twist and turn followed in places well beyond the rugged terrain of North West Tenerife,
today feels like the beginning of one last push to try to find Jay Slater."
