With schools out for the half term across much of the UK, let’s take a look at what’s making the news over in Spain as the summer holiday season kicks off.
It is possible many people haven’t heard of Spain’s Costa Tropical. It lies in southern Spain and is the coastal region of the province of Granada in Andalusia. Often mistakenly thought of as part of the Costa del Sol, it’s very different in character. There is very little flat land and the Sierra Nevada mountains even reach the sea at some points. This stretch of coast is just 19 kilometres long, but is still home to 26 beaches.
New shops, new residential developments and yet more Blue Flag beaches will further boost the Costa del Sol’s enduring popularity over the coming months. Even Liverpool F.C. can’t get enough of the region.
Whenever you think of Spain you think about sun and sand, music and wine and lots of festivals. Some of these are really major events which attract huge crowds from Spain and abroad such as The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona or Las Fallas in Valencia. Nevertheless there are hundreds of wonderful small local Spanish festivals to enjoy and to participate in.
From tackling pollution in Barcelona and promoting renewable energy throughout the land to St George’s Day in Catalonia and Primark expanding in Andalusia, here’s the latest news roundup from Spain.
