Gran Fiesta de la espuma

Talk about a party(Gran Fiesta)week, not content with filling everyone up with sardines the council but on a party in the church square later the same day. No ordinary party either, a mobil disco provided the music and a special machine covered the square with foam(la espuma), and I do mean cover. People almost disappeared in the depth of the stuff a guy was on hand to hose down anyone in danger of doing so. Now there was a man who was enjoying his work. Once again a fun event with no one causing problem and everyone just having good clean fun if you'll pardon the pun. Cannot imagine either this event or the sardine lunch would have happened in UK, Health and safely may not have been top of the list but as far as we could see no one was hurt and their has not been a hugh wave of food poisoning around the town. One added bonus the main town square has not looked so clean for a long

The break in codes

Police have cracked a new code used by burglars to mark properties that are targeted for break-ins. A list of the codes was released this week by Altea citizens’ safety councillor Gregorio Cortés, although the code has been used widely in other areas of the Costa Blanca.
The authorities warn that these marks have been chalked or engraved on the outside walls or entrances of properties that are targeted for robbery.
Police have enquired and victims have corroborated the signs that had mysteriously appeared on their properties before they were broken into.
