Cerro Gordo Burns Again

Thanks again to the rapid response of the fire and police services, and the absence of high winds, the pine forest of Cerro Gordo was not converted into an ashtray. This latest fire is the tenth since the end of last summer.

In Search of Blood

Marina del Este, together with the rest of the marinas belonging to the Asociación de Puertos Deportivos y Turísticos Marinas de Andalucía, is taking the Consejería de Obras Públicas de la Junta de Andalucía to court, as well as the Agencia Pública de Puertos de Andalucía (APPA).
