It’s hard to understand why access to Muchavista beach, in El Campello, is allowed, while access to San Juan beach, in the neighboring municipality of Alicante, is prohibited from five this afternoon. There is no physical separation between the two; we are talking about the same sandy area, but the prevention against meteorological warnings is not the same in the different town halls.

“They are forcing us to close a restaurant that our grandparents opened in 1955,” says a helpless Albert Casado, third generation at the helm of La Caleta, the establishment that started as a seasonal snack bar and, with hard work and dedication, became the family restaurant that has become a meeting point for various generations.
The hustle and bustle of concrete mixers in Vallbona is incessant. Vehicles constantly cross the neighborhood to fill the sinkhole that swallowed a large crane during the Montcada undergrounding works. It is the emergency measure being applied by the Railway Infrastructure Administrator (Adif) after the ground unexpectedly opened up on Wednesday at noon without causing any injuries, but setting off all alarms.
Every return of the Tour de France to Orcières-Merlette brings back memories of that afternoon in 1971 when Luis Ocaña made history. For many, that remains the most important feat in modern cycling. Due to the magnitude of the stage, the differences generated, and above all, the defeated rivals, fundamentally the insurmountable Eddie Merckx. Ocaña broke away when there was still an eternity ahead (60 km) and the minutes fell one after another until the definitive 8m40s. Not even when they hinted from the car that it was enough to wear yellow did he give up continuing to increase his lead. The Spanish champion, a genius with his own ghosts, showed that even the most dominant rider could be defeated, even humiliated. “Luis Ocaña killed us all today, like El Cordobés kills his bulls,” Eddy Merckx acknowledged after the stage, in a phrase reported the next day by La Vanguardia and which perhaps remains the best way to explain what happened in Orcières-Merlette. “A magnificent feat, which Spanish cycling greatly needed,” said Federico Martín Bahamontes for this newspaper that same day.

Just a few hours ago, Kiko Rivera announced on his social media the cancellation of his summer tour due to a “serious health problem” of which many details were not known. However, it has now been revealed that Isabel Pantoja’s son has confessed that he has suffered another stroke that has completely paralyzed his life. A health problem that has worsened compared to the episode he experienced in 2022 and that once again forces him to put an indefinite pause on his professional projects.
Elon Musk has announced that his artificial intelligence tool Grok Imagine will produce a feature-length film based on The Odyssey which, in his own words, will be “historically accurate” and faithful to Homer’s work.

It was a forced water landing 74 years ago. An accident that changed the way air safety was understood and whose mechanical protagonist has finally been found this week near Puerto Rico. The plane, a Douglas DC-4 from Pan Am, a mythical American company that even then covered every imaginable route. Pan Am was a symbol of a modern world and a planet that was getting smaller. Initially called Pan American World Airways, it was the epitome of air glamour in its time, and also the involuntary reason why cabin safety on all commercial aircraft radically changed since that plane’s accident.
