The heat of July in Valencia has not been just any heat for a few years now. It is a heat that sticks to the skin like a second shirt, that makes the asphalt shine like a distorted mirror, and that keeps the metal shutters of the shops down well into…
August started in July in Torrevieja. Let me explain: the first Low Festival held in the tourist city in the south of Alicante, “stolen” from Benidorm this year, opens the festive-musical program of the city for the month of August, but it was inaugurated yesterday, July 31, Friday.
The PSPV-PSOE has demanded that the Consell exercise the right of first refusal and withdrawal on the homes of Les Naus de Alicante so that they become part of the public housing stock again and thus prevent them from ending up in the hands of vulture funds or speculative operations.
The General Structural Plan that the Alicante City Council is working on continues to reveal the future of the city, the portrait it wants to resemble in ten or twenty years, adapted to the foreseeable demographic changes and the projects that are already underway.
A person is in serious condition at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona after falling from a boat on the coast this Saturday afternoon and being rescued by the Mossos d’Esquadra along with their companion.
The team of surveyors from Sostremetries, who have been reviewing the altitudes of the peaks of the Pyrenees for years, has certified a new three-thousander in Catalunya, the South Needle of Malavesina, at 3,012.9 meters altitude and a prominence of eleven relative to the last saddle, in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, according to measurements taken on July 5. In this way, Catalunya goes from twelve to thirteen summits exceeding this elevation: Pica d’Estats, Verdaguer, Punta de Gabarró, Sotllo, N. subpeak of Sotllo, Rodó de Canalbona, Comaloforno, Besiberri Sur, Besiberri Norte, Punta Alta de Comalesbienes, Tuc de Mulleres, North Needle of Malavesina, and now the South Needle. In the entire Pyrenees range, the number will increase from 216, of which 125 are main and 91 secondary, to 217.
Tomás, as he is known, is spending his third summer in the village as just another resident, except that he has the peculiarity of not being a person but a deer with an impressive rack of antlers who has gotten used to living with the few inhabitants of Linarejos (Zamora), in the Sierra de la Culebra.
The very bold and eye-catching signs of the latest bakery mainly aimed at occasional visitors to the green axis of Consell de Cent street are irritating many nearby residents. However, this is not just a matter of taste. The tremendously flashy setup of prominent eyes, yellow color, and different reliefs intended to evoke the happiest cheese blatantly violates the urban landscape regulations of the Barcelona City Council. They might even get fined.
This has to start with a confession: only one of the journalists who make up the sanctuary of the ‘Living’ section of ‘La Vanguardia’ has climbed to the viewpoint of the Columbus monument in Barcelona, and it was just a few days ago, precisely for the report you are reading. The statue is largely unknown to the local public despite being one of the most recognizable figures in the city. It is, as things stand, and although the views are great from its 50 meters of height, a tourist attraction with little rooting. Although it does not lack emotion and feeling for that reason. A couple of years ago, Oriol Espuny, one of the attraction’s reporters, proposed placing a guestbook at the small reception so that people could write or draw whatever they wanted. They have already filled three volumes and the idea, he says, has become a “wonderful analog Instagram.”
