The two women, who belonged to two rival families known on the island, clashed on Friday evening, the police confirmed reports from island media. One of the women had used a cutter knife as a weapon, the other a baseball bat. The cause of the argument was not initially known.
The two were supported by members of their own families, so that eventually around 30 people were beating each other about 200 meters away from the Arenal beach.
The police eventually arrested the two women. One of them was taken to hospital with a minor cut on her arm, the other had a cut on a finger which was treated as an outpatient.
