Later, around 11:45 p.m., the traditional descent to the river will take place. The main attraction of the event will come at the stroke of midnight, when the torchlight illuminates the descent of locals and visitors to the river to perform the ancestral ritual of wetting their face and head. Upon their return, attendees can enjoy the distribution of approximately 1,300 San Juan bread rings, one of the most anticipated moments of the evening. The celebration will conclude with a performance by the copla and flamenco singer Elías Soler.

SPAIN
Seven Reggaeton Beach Festivals for 2026 cancelled: {Trans, summary}
– Another music festival has been cancelled in Spain. In addition to the previously announced cancellations of Fortaleza Sound and Solaris Nerja, the Reggaeton Beach Festival has also cancelled its seven venue 2026 summer tour in Spain.
– The organisers reportedly informed suppliers directly and instructed them to stop all work related to the events. Although no public statement has yet been issued, suppliers were told that the planned festivals would not go ahead.
– The cancelled Reggaeton Beach Festival tour was scheduled to visit seven locations across Spain. The affected venues and host destinations include Alicante, Tenerife, Barcelona, Madrid, Mallorca, Santander and Nigrán. These events formed part of the festival’s nationwide summer programme.
– The organisers have attributed the cancellation to the project’s lack of viability after reviewing operational and financial alternatives. Despite the reported cancellation, tickets for the affected festivals were still being offered for sale through the festival’s website at the time of reporting.

It’s A Family Affair– The judge in the Plus Ultra case has charged Zapatero’s daughters and his secretary: {Trans, summary}
– National Court Judge José Luis Calama has agreed to include in the judicial proceedings of the ‘Plus Ultra’ case the daughters of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Alba and Laura Rodríguez Espinosa, as well as his secretary, Gertrudis Alcázar, so that they can appear in the proceedings as suspects.
– The judge made this decision at the request of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, which, in a document last Tuesday, asked Judge Calama to take statements from the daughters and the secretary of the former Prime Minister as part of the investigation. In a subsequent ruling, the judge will set the dates for their statements.
– In relation to the daughters, Calama states that there are “reasonable indications” that their marketing agency, Whathefav, was a front company used for “the channelling, concealment or facilitation” of operations relevant to the facts under investigation. The judge had already ordered the Civil Guard to search its offices last May.
– According to the investigation, the agency owned by Alba and Laura Rodríguez Espinosa received €800,000 from companies linked to their father’s business dealings. Análisis Relevante, the consultancy run by Julio Martínez Martínez, a friend of the former president, paid them €239,755. Inteligencia Prospectiva, owned by two Venezuelan brothers, paid them more than half a million euros. According to the Anti-Fraud Office, both paying companies are failed businesses. The judge and the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office suspect that they carried out no real activity and therefore had nothing to be subcontracted or paid for.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Eight arrested for around twenty burglaries in homes in Vélez-Málaga and the Axarquía region: {Trans, summary}
– National Police have dismantled an alleged burglary gang that operated across Málaga province, including municipalities in the Axarquía. The investigation was led by Málaga’s Robbery Group II with support from the Vélez-Málaga UDEV unit, and also involved coordination with Civil Guard officers in Nerja and Ronda, where similar crimes had been reported.
– Eight people were arrested and five were remanded in custody by court order. Police link the suspects to around twenty burglaries in homes, mainly involving the theft of jewellery, cash and other valuables. Investigators say the group used the “impressioning” method, which can create a copy of a key by inserting mouldable material into a lock.
– Operation Bucle/Nala identified what police describe as an organised structure divided into operational cells, led by two alleged ringleaders and including specialists responsible for opening locks. According to investigators, gang members checked whether residents were absent by repeatedly ringing intercoms and doorbells while posing as salespeople. If nobody answered, they allegedly entered and robbed the property. Police carried out seven searches, seizing jewellery, cash, clothing allegedly used during the burglaries and lock-opening tools.

EUROPE
EU approves ‘return hubs’ migration reforms:
– The European Parliament has approved tougher migration rules that will grant authorities much broader detention powers and allow for the creation of deportation centres outside the bloc. The motion passed by 418 votes to 218, with 30 abstentions. The changes include:
– ‘Return hubs’ in third countries where people whose asylum seeker applications have been rejected leave the EU. Under the now agreed rules, this will include sending unaccompanied minors whose asylum applications have been unsuccessful to third countries outside the EU, provided these countries can prove they will uphold an individual’s rights under international law.
– Tougher entry bans for people believed to impose a security risk.
– An end to second country movements within the EU by someone seeking asylum.
– Potential tools to be used in cases where there is believed to be a risk of someone whose asylum seeker application has been rejected absconding, including financial guarantees and electronic monitoring.
– An extension of entry bans to up to 20 years and indefinitely in rare cases.
– The changes will not be legally introduced until today’s vote and the text of it is formally adopted by the European Council, potentially at its meeting at the end of this month, and published in the Council’s Official Journal.

UKRAINE WAR
Moscow oil refinery struck in Ukraine’s biggest air raid on city since start of war:
– Ukrainian drones have hit several locations across Moscow in Kyiv’s biggest air raid on the city since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, setting a major oil refinery on fire and forcing evacuations at the country’s largest airport.
– The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, described the attack as a response to Russia’s striking of a historic Kyiv monastery complex earlier this week. Kyiv was hit this week by a major strike of ballistic missiles and drones, in a marked escalation of the air war.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Communist Bernie Sanders Comes Up With A Good Idea For A Change– unveils plan to give the public direct ownership of AI companies:
– As artificial intelligence companies reshape the economy and race toward trillion-dollar valuations, US Sen. Bernie Sanders is proposing a sweeping transfer of wealth and power from the industry to the American public.
– The legislation, shown first to The Associated Press, would create a sovereign wealth fund overseen by an independent commission and financed through a one-time 50% tax on the stock of the largest AI companies. Sanders estimates that the tax would create a nearly $7 trillion fund that would generate hundreds of billions of dollars annually in direct payments to Americans and programs such as health care, education and housing.
– “The benefits cannot simply go to the handful of wealthy corporations. They will be shared by the American people,” the independent Vermont senator said in an interview Wednesday.

GASTRONOMIA
Arias launches a butter made from goat’s milk cream in Ronda: {Trans, summary}
– Mantequerías Arias has launched Mantequera Rondeña, a new butter made exclusively from goat’s milk cream and produced by hand at its factory in the Ronda industrial estate. The company describes it as unique within the Spanish market and says traditional production methods are used from manufacture to packaging.
– The butter is made from fresh goat’s cream with added natural cultures that develop its aroma and flavour. According to the company, it has a pure goat’s milk taste, slight lactic acidity from fermentation, light salting, a mild flavour, a natural white colour and a melt-in-the-mouth texture that distinguishes it from cow’s milk butters.
– The product is available in two formats: a 120-gram block sold in boxes of four and a 1.1-kilogram professional bar aimed at the hospitality and catering sector.
– The company also highlights a double-layer wrapping system. An inner aluminium layer is intended to protect against light and fat oxidation, while an outer paper layer protects the package and gives it a premium appearance.
– The butter will soon be available through gourmet retailers online and in selected physical outlets. It will be posted here when available: https://arias.es Source, Spanish: https://www.malagahoy.es/ronda/arias-lanza-mantequilla-base-nata-leche-cabra-ronda_0_2007094094.html
TRAVEL
Want a month long vacation for free on a paradise Greek island? Now it’s possible, but you’ll have to live with cats: {Trans, summary}
– An animal welfare organisation is offering volunteers aged over 25 the opportunity to spend 30 days on the Greek island of Syros caring for cats. The arrangement requires participants to work five days per week, for five hours each day, looking after the island’s feline population. We specially welcome volunteers who are prepared to stay for longer periods but regret we cannot accommodate children or pets.
– In exchange, volunteers receive free accommodation and free breakfast throughout their stay. Other meals and personal expenses must be paid for by the participants themselves. No specific qualifications are required, and previous experience caring for animals is not essential, although it is considered an advantage. Currently volunteers are house sharing. You would have your own bedroom, but be sharing a kitchen, bathroom and communal living space with two or three other volunteers.
– The main requirement is a genuine affection for cats. Applicants are also expected to be independent and reliable, with punctuality highlighted as particularly important. Marital status is irrelevant and no upper age limit is mentioned.

NATURE
The goal is to save the black Castilian hen– “It needs far less care than a cat or a dog.”: {Trans, summary}
– Black Castilian hens are a rare native Spanish breed whose population has fallen to around 2,500 birds nationwide. Once Spain’s premier laying hen, it was later pushed to the brink of extinction by the more productive brown and white varieties from the 1950s onwards.
– One of the largest surviving groups is maintained in Santibáñez-Zarzaguda, Burgos, where conservation efforts focus on breeding the birds and encouraging their adoption by smallholders and households.
– The breed is entirely black, apart from white earlobes, and has slate-grey legs. Although it produces fewer eggs over a short period than modern commercial laying hens, it remains productive for more years and can live for up to a decade. Supporters consider it particularly suitable for domestic poultry keeping because birds do not need replacing as frequently as commercial breeds.
– Anyone wishing to keep Black Castilian hens requires only basic facilities, including a feeder, water supply, shelter and nesting area. The birds require relatively little day-to-day attention if food and water are provided in sufficient quantities.
– Prospective owners must complete local administrative procedures and obtain livestock registration through the relevant authorities. A three-month-old Black Castilian hen typically costs about €25 and may continue laying eggs for roughly five years, making it a practical option for small-scale poultry keepers while helping preserve an endangered breed.
