Your questions answered by Ruth from Compare Funerals Spain
– Why should I have a funeral plan? Having been funeral planning for over 10 year I’ve experienced some very sad and upset families when nothing is in place. A Spanish funeral plans will ensure that all costs are covered for your funeral service. Getting a prepaid plan will help you feel assured that your family will not be under any financial strain when it comes to paying for your funeral. A plan also means you can have peace of mind that everything has been organised in advance, so your loved ones do not have to make any difficult decisions.
– Why choose Compare Funerals? There seems to be a gap in Spain between independent funeral directors, offering plans at a good price but lacking the security of an established Trust or ability to cover a client overseas and Providers who seem to charge more than necessary. We want to be right in the middle and offer the best of both worlds. Our best-priced plan is only 2,250€ and does the essentials.
– Can I do a payment plan? All our plans are payable in full or over up to 5 years interest FREE. The interest free periods are based on initial deposit. The higher the deposit the less your monthly repayments will be.
– Can I transfer the plan? The answer is YES. You could name 2 people on one plan however if you had a friend/family member pass away we can transfer the plan into a 3rd party’s name.
– What happens if I move? All our plans offer the equivalent service in Spain (including the islands), Portugal, Republic of Ireland and the UK. If you moved to the UK, we would transfer the plan to one of our many partners at no extra cost to you.
– Is paperwork included? Yes, your family will receive a death certificate in Spanish and an international certification in English. We also provide a cremation certificate that allows the ashes on board a plane.

SPAIN
PP demands Sánchez’s chief of staff be summoned to Congress over dismissal of National Security official who first released the estimated number of migrant arrivals during the Ceuta border: {Trans, summary}
– The PP is demanding that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Chief of Staff, Diego Rubio {pic}, appear before Parliament to explain why the National Security official responsible for publishing the first official figures from the Ceuta migrant crisis was dismissed.
– During the first day of the crisis, the Government declined to release official numbers. However, the Department of National Security website published a figure of 49,000 illegal migrant arrivals, highlighting the unprecedented scale of the incident. The post was later removed and, hours afterwards, the Government issued its own official figure of 50,000 arrivals.
– The Government says the official was dismissed for a loss of confidence because she published “unverified” information. The PP argues she was fired for doing her job properly by reporting accurate figures, and alleges the Government wanted to avoid public disclosure of the true scale of the crisis in order to protect its reputation. It has demanded parliamentary explanations.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Fines of up to 3,000 euros in Villanueva del Trabuco for misuse of water – it is prohibited to water, wash cars or fill swimming pools with public water: {Trans}
– Villanueva del Trabuco Town Council has issued a municipal notice introducing extraordinary measures to guarantee the water supply for the entire population, following a situation in which water consumption has exceeded the amount of water entering the municipality’s storage reservoirs.
– The Mayor, Juan Alejandro Pascual Martín, has signed the notice, which introduces several immediate restrictions to regulate the use of what the document describes as “such a precious and scarce resource”. With immediate effect, it is forbidden to water private or public gardens and roads using water from the mains supply, or to fill private swimming pools with water from the public network. Washing cars or other vehicles using mains water is also prohibited, except for businesses specifically engaged in that activity. Filling water storage tanks or cisterns is likewise banned, except for those intended for community services.
– The notice reminds residents that the Town Council’s Water Supply and Sewerage Services Regulations, in force since 4 November 2004, classify improper use of the water supply or fraudulent water consumption as very serious offences. Such violations may be punished with fines of up to €3,000.
– The council has appealed for residents’ cooperation in helping to identify breaches of these rules and detect possible excessive water consumption. The measures will remain in force until further notice, and no end date has been set.

A 52-year-old man who lived on the streets died in Órgiva (Granada) after setting himself on fire in a bathtub: {Trans, summary}
– A 52-year-old Finnish man who lived on the streets of Órgiva, in the Alpujarra region of Granada, died early Wednesday morning after setting himself on fire in a bathtub.
– The town’s mayor, Raúl Orellana, confirmed that the man was found after setting himself on fire. He also corroborated other details such as the fact that the homeless man had been wandering the town for three to four weeks and had received medical attention during his first week, apparently for a mental illness. Regarding the incident, in the early hours of Wednesday, the man broke into a private property next to González Robles Avenue where antique furniture was stored, and got into a bathtub where he apparently doused himself with alcohol and then set himself on fire.
– Following the alert, firefighters arrived at the scene, although the fire did not spread. The Civil Guard’s Judicial Police have taken charge of the investigation into this death, with the support of the Local Police, to determine the exact circumstances.

HUELVA
A new forest fire has been declared in an area of Lucena del Puerto (Huelva), the fifth in 15 days: {Trans, summary}
– Firefighters from the Andalusian Forest Fire Extinguishing Service (Plan Infoca) are battling a forest fire that broke out this Wednesday, August 5, in the Santa Catalina area of the municipality of Lucena del Puerto (Huelva). This is the fifth fire in the same area in just 15 days and the second this week- after another fire that started on Tuesday afternoon was declared extinguished this morning.
– According to the Infoca Plan’s X account, consulted by Europa Press, to extinguish the fire – which began at 4:00 p.m. this Wednesday – eight forest firefighters, an operations technician, an environmental agent, two fire engines, a semi-heavy aircraft and two ground-based cargo helicopters have been activated.
– Since July 21, five fires have broken out in the municipality of this town in the Huelva region, the second this week- eight in total since February. Furthermore, on July 28, another fire occurred in the Los Vuelos area, marking the second fire in just 24 hours and the third to affect this same area in a little over a week. The wildfire in the Arroyo Pasadera area of Lucena del Puerto, which broke out at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday and was brought under control at 11:14 p.m., was declared extinguished Wednesday morning.

GASTRONOMIA
Canned mussels and shellfish– discover the new official changes in names, cuts and labeling that you should know: {Trans, summary}
– New regulations will change how canned mussels, clams, cockles and other canned seafood are labelled, giving consumers clearer information about exactly what they are buying. Each product must have an official name linked to the specific species used, reducing the use of vague or generic descriptions that could cause confusion.
– The rules also introduce precise legal definitions for common presentation terms such as “whole”, “chopped”, “crumbled”, “fillets”, “slices”, “loins” and “belly” {“entero”, “troceado”, “desmigado”, “filetes”, “rodajas”, “lomos” & “ventresca”}. Labels using these descriptions must accurately match the contents, making it easier for shoppers to compare products and choose the cut or presentation they want.
– The updated system replaces parts of outdated 1985 regulations with a more flexible framework that can be expanded to include new seafood species, product formats and manufacturing methods without rewriting the legislation.
– Consumers should note that the changes only affect naming and labelling. The regulations do not reduce sodium levels, ban additives, change oils or sauces, alter tin sizes or guarantee improved nutritional quality. Existing products may continue to be sold during transitional periods, with businesses generally given six months to update labels when product names change. The aim is clearer, more accurate labelling without disrupting product availability in shops.

The traditional restaurant in Malaga that has been distinguished as one of the best in Spain for recovering “the old way of cooking”: {Trans, summary}
– Arte de Cozina, a restaurant in Antequera, has been recognised as one of Spain’s leading traditional restaurants for preserving historic Andalusian cuisine. The award highlights its commitment to recovering old recipes, cooking techniques and locally sourced ingredients while adapting them for modern fine dining.
– Rather than simply reproducing historic dishes, the restaurant researches traditional gastronomy and reinterprets it in a contemporary style, combining authentic flavours with refined presentation. Although the cooking methods and recipes remain rooted in tradition, the dishes are presented with the elegance expected in today’s high-end restaurants.
– The restaurant specialises in reviving forgotten recipes from the Antequera region, many with Moorish, Jewish and Christian influences. Signature dishes include three versions of the famous porra antequerana (tomato, orange and white), gazpachuelo, maimones garlic soup, olla de castañas (chestnut stew), chivo lechal malagueño a la pastoril (Malaga-style roast kid goat), pelona de lomo en manteca (pork loin slowly cooked in lard), and medieval Andalusian almojábanas. Each dish is accompanied by a card explaining its history and original recipe, reinforcing the restaurant’s mission to preserve the culinary heritage of Antequera rather than simply serving modern interpretations of traditional food.
– The recognition reinforces Arte de Cozina’s reputation as a leading ambassador for traditional Andalusian cuisine, blending historical authenticity with modern culinary standards and attracting visitors seeking an authentic gastronomic experience.

See the Sun like never before with most detailed images yet:
– Scientists using the world’s most powerful solar telescope have captured the surface of our Sun in new, unprecedented detail. Images and footage show “whirlpools” of activity that it has not been possible to see before. It is the Sun’s magnetic field being twisted and moved by the motion of hot gas.
– That constant swirling is a driving force behind bursts of energy from the Sun, creating so-called space weather, that can disrupt Earth’s power grids and satellites, and could even injure astronauts. Full article with video: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c36d4376nd2o
