  • Monday Apr 10, 2023 - Spain - Wife falls from balcony in Benidorm, Jon Rahm wins 87th Masters at Augusta National, Drug users in Spain 3,000 years ago
    2023/04/10

    These are the trending news headlines in Spain on Monday April 10, 2023

    A British man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in Spain after his wife fell from a balcony in the popular tourist destination of Benidorm. The 36-year-old woman is said to be in critical condition after plunging six storeys from their hotel late on Saturday night. Emergency services were called and the man, aged 40, was taken into custody while police investigate the circumstances of the fall. The couple were staying at the Rio Park hotel and the man will appear before a judge in a private preliminary hearing to determine if he will be held in custody or released pending further investigations.

    Spain's Jon Rahm has won the 87th Masters at Augusta National, paying tribute to the late Seve Ballesteros in the process. On what would have been Ballesteros' 66th birthday, Rahm became the fourth Spanish winner at Augusta National after Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia. Rahm's father took up golf after watching Ballesteros captain Europe to victory in the 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderrama, and Rahm believes that without that experience, he may not be where he is today. Rahm finished 12 under par, four shots clear of Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka. Rahm's final par was very much a Seve par, unintentionally testifying to the late golfer's influence on his game.

    New research suggests that people were getting high on hallucinogenic drugs in Spain as far back as 3,000 years ago. Scientists found that hair from a burial site in Menorca contained substances derived from plants and bushes, and that these substances would have induced delirium and hallucinations. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, provide Europe's oldest direct evidence of people taking hallucinogenic drugs. The substances were found at the Es Càrritx cave, a ritual and funerary site for about 600 years, until 800 BCE. Researchers believe that the substances may have been used as part of rituals held at the cave, potentially involving shamans who could control the side-effects of the drugs.

  • Saturday Apr 8, 2023 - Spain - Doctor arrested for abuse, Heineken launching in Spain, African sustainable tourism mentor
    2023/04/08

    These are the trending news headlines in Spain on Saturday April 8, 2023

    A disturbing case has emerged in the Madrid town of Colmenar Viejo, where a well-known and respected doctor and his wife have been arrested for physically punishing and malnourishing their eight children, and confining them to a filthy room. The father, who works at a Madrid hospital, is alleged to have abused his wife as well. The children were being cared for by the state and the mother has been served with a restraining order. The arrests followed a teacher’s report that the children had missed a lot of school, and that the father mistreated the mother, who also allegedly neglected the children. The state of the entire house was described as “shocking” with the only clean room being the father’s office.

    Heineken, the Dutch beer company, has announced that it will be launching Spain's top-selling draught beer, Cruzcampo, in pubs across the UK. The beer, which is brewed in Britain, will only be available on tap and will be exclusively sold in pubs. Cruzcampo has gained popularity in Spain due to its attractive low price, and Heineken claims that it has all the advantages of Spanish premium beers at an affordable price, making it a great quality experience for consumers. The launch of Cruzcampo will continue Heineken's commitment to supporting the on-trade, which is important in these times of financial uncertainty. To celebrate its launch in the UK, Cruzcampo is running a promotion in bars across the country until May 14, offering the chance for one lucky winner to host a massive Spanish fiesta in their pub, complete with authentic food, entertainment, and of course, lager.

    The City of Málaga has set its sights on becoming Africa's sustainable tourism mentor. The city's bid to host Expo 2027 is based on sharing sustainable tourism practices with several African countries, which would benefit from Malaga's 30-year transformation from one of the "ugliest, dirtiest, and worst cities in the world" to a cultural and heritage tourism hub. Málaga's head of tourism, Jonathan Gomez Punzon, said the city had demonstrated advanced sustainable tech initiatives, which he outlined as part of its proposed Expo 2027 bid project. This could lead to a successful bid and, ultimately, the first Expo hosted in Africa.

  • Thursday Apr 6, 2023 - Spain - Arrests smuggling military equipment to Russia, Real Madrid performance, Spanish TV star Ana Obregón baby update
    2023/04/06

    These are the trending news headlines in Spain on Thursday April 6, 2023

    Spanish authorities have arrested a Ukrainian and a Russian on suspicion of smuggling military aeronautical equipment to Russia, defying an EU embargo linked to the Ukraine war. The suspects were arrested in the northern Basque Country in an operation by police and customs investigators to stop an "imminent" shipment to Russia. The suspects were running a Spanish company that was evading existing export controls, thereby committing a smuggling offence. Investigators discovered a network to supply military equipment to Moscow's aeronautical sector with a "profound knowledge of transportation logistics." The network had designed a sophisticated system of international customs documentation that allowed it to ship goods "to countries not facing an embargo when in reality the destination was Russia." The raid resulted in the seizure of documentation, computer equipment, and two high-end vehicles.

    Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has stressed the importance of his side putting in a complete performance in their Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Barcelona. The Spanish giants trail 1-0 from last month's first leg, but Ancelotti has said that his team must remain calm and play a complete game with and without the ball. While Real have lost their last three games against Barca, Ancelotti believes his team can win without changing their system, saying small details are where they can surprise their opponents. Meanwhile, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has warned his team to be cautious of a "hurt" Madrid side seeking revenge.

    Spanish TV star Ana Obregón has revealed that her surrogate baby was fathered by her late son, who died of cancer at the age of 27. In an interview with ¡Hola! magazine, Obregón explained that her son's final wish was to have a child of his own, and before his death, he had stored a sample of his sperm in New York. The birth mother who carried the baby is reportedly a woman of Cuban origin living in Florida. Obregón's revelation that she had a baby by surrogacy in the US had caused controversy in Spain, where surrogacy is illegal. However, adopting a child born abroad is lawful. Obregón sees herself as the baby's mother, even if she is biologically her granddaughter, and plans to register the baby at the Spanish consulate before flying to Madrid.
