Coming up in Spain Today, the FITUR tourism event starts in Madrid featuring 9,000 companies from the tourism sector, new European legislation will penalise those who pay invoices late, 2024 marks almond season set to start early resulting in more losses for farmers, and ceramics workers will hold a demonstration this evening.

A little reminder for those still eligible to vote in the European elections that time is running out to confirm your eligibility, you must do so before the end of the month, ideally, so if there is any doubt, check. If you need more information, your local town hall should be able to help, as is the case, for example, in Torrevieja, where the International Residents Department, led by Councillor Gitte Lund Thomsen, have produced an informative leaflet which you can pick up from the town hall.
