-ReOpened: Il Faro Pizzaria near the lookout point at the end of Av El Faro. Proper family sized pizzas with premium ingredients. Ask for extra tomato sauce & extra cheese if you like American style pizza. The Pizza del Mar, with shrimps, mussels and anchovies is my personal fav. Eat half there, take the rest home, two meals for the price of one!

-The Greek Casita, BLQ 80, has delayed their reopening until March 26th. The remodelling has taken longer than anticipated. Gyros will be back soon!
-I Love Pizza on the beach boardwalk has been closed for several weeks now, no sign of when they will reopen, but there does seem to be some remodeling happening.
-The newish London Bar on the Paseo Maritimo remains shut for the time being. I have not had a chance to try it out, but in passing I noticed the portions were large and it definitely looks like a great place to watch sports tv!
-The mini-market on the west side of BLQ 80 is now a Hilal Middle Eastern grocery store. It is packed floor to ceiling with every sort of food you would expect and much more. Wide selection of spices, figs & dates. They even have a butcher section for fresh meat. Prices are very reasonable, lean fresh ground Hilal beef was only €5/kg the day I stopped in. Look for daily meat specials posted on the display case! Also a selection of traditional clothes & shoes.

Andalusia has only 380 coronavirus infections, best Monday since August: {Translated from sevilla.abc.es}
Updated 22/03/2021, 16:36
-Andalusia has had 380 cases of coronavirus infection this Monday. This is the lowest figure since 9 December and also the best Monday for the region since 10 August. If we compare this figure with last week’s Monday, there is also an improvement because seven days ago the number of reported positives was 480, one hundred more.
-However, this drop in cases is not reflected in the cumulative incidence of the pandemic, the most reliable gauge of the speed and virulence of the health crisis. Last Friday there were 118 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This Monday there are 122. The rise, although not very pronounced, confirms the saw-toothed phase that the curve of the pandemic in the community has been drawing for weeks.
-There are also worse data in the case of the seven-day incidence rate. This value, which registers changes in trend sooner, is 57 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants today at seven days. On Friday the same figure was 52, five points lower.
-Thus, it is not possible to be sure that the low number of infections reported on Monday represents a trend, nor that the increase in the incidence rate points in the opposite direction. The community remains at very similar figures week after week, with the incidence rate stagnating at around 120 points.
-Where there is very good news is in the number of deaths. This Monday there have been only two deaths due to coronavirus in Andalusia, as was the case yesterday. You have to go back to 2 January to find such low figures and, much earlier, to the summer, to see them repeated for two consecutive days.
-There are two possible explanations for this. On the one hand, vaccines are already having an effect on the most vulnerable people, which reduces mortality. But the drop is very sharp, so we must also take into account a possible under-reporting of deaths that will be corrected tomorrow or the day after, when this indicator is expected to rise in Andalusia.
-Meanwhile, 1,054 Andalusians were admitted to hospital on Monday due to the coronavirus. This is a rise of 41 people, the highest in several weeks. In the ICU there is also an increase in the number of Andalusians admitted, 265, six more than yesterday. This tends to happen on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we will have to wait until the end of the week for the number of hospitalised patients to finally drop below a thousand, if that happens at all.

Health wants to resume the vaccination with AstraZeneca in Andalusia this Tuesday: {Summary, translated from sevilla.abc.es}
-The Andalusian Regional Minister for Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, announced on Monday in Montilla (Córdoba) that, if authorised by the Ministry of Health, Andalusia will administer the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines from Tuesday, also to the 55-65 age group.
-In fact, Andalusia has “160,000 AstraZeneca vaccines available right now”, and Health wants to “administer them as soon as possible”, and Aguirre also hopes that the use of this vaccine will be authorised for the 55 to 65 age group, which is the age group that Aguirre considers to be a “priority” for vaccination, within the “essential personnel”.
-In addition to this, Aguirre, who said he expects a total of “203,530 vaccines” to arrive in Andalusia this week from the various pharmaceutical companies, also wants the Ministry of Health to authorise that, “once the vaccination of the over-80s has been completed, the next group to be vaccinated will be patients with relevant pathologies”.

UK Covid testing- Adults to be asked to test themselves twice a week to keep roadmap out of lockdown on track: All adults will be encouraged to test themselves for Covid-19 twice a week to help us ease out of lockdown, The Times understands.
Getting the public into the habit of regular swabs is viewed as a vital way to stop people breaking the rules if they test negative and an advertising campaign will urge people to “play their part” by regularly checking they are not infectious.

Unidas Podemos says Politicos “antisocial” on Rent Relief- Minister Ábalos insists on tax incentives and advocates that they are more effective than limiting the rents: {Summary, translated from sevilla.abc.es}
-The Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, José Luis Ábalos, defended this Monday that the tax incentives he is proposing in the future housing law to curb the rise in rents as a “much more effective” measure than the demand by UNO Podemos to limit them.
-The future law will make the constitutional right to decent housing effective and will put a stop to abusive rises in rents, according to the minister, who added that it will also favour “the offer of affordable conditions for people with lower incomes, young people and the most vulnerable groups”.
-With regard to the criticisms made by Unidas Podemos of the tax incentives for benefiting large property owners, he reminded the audience that the aim is to make these incentives “more progressive and fairer”. In addition, he reminded that it is applied to personal income tax, a tax that does not benefit companies, and that 85% of rented housing in Spain belongs to small owners.
-In any case, he assured that in the future law “there are many measures” to avoid the abusive increase in rents and to favour an increase in supply because “if we do not increase supply, we are not going to lower prices”, he said.
-Hours earlier, Yolanda Díaz expressed her conviction that there will be agreement in the coalition government to regulate the price of rents: “It is not a question of giving in, there is going to be agreement for sure,” she said.
-She pointed out that, after unemployment, “surely the second biggest problem is housing”, which is also “a fundamental right” recognised in the Constitution and “in international standards”, and that “the Government wants to tackle one of the country’s main problems”.
-The PSOE’s proposal to reduce the price of rent in stressed areas is to increase the level of tax relief in personal income tax for owners, up to 90%, in order to formalise a new contract with a lower rent. For both Montero and the Vice-President for Economic Affairs, Nadia Calviño, this proposal would comply with the government agreement between the PSOE and Unidas Podemos, despite not containing price intervention.
-In contrast, Unidas Podemos considers that the incentive system is not sufficient and would not comply with the coalition agreement or the agreement to approve the Housing Law. Moreover, it points out that the incentive system will not only not be enough, but that it is also aimed at benefiting large housing owners.
-Thus, they consider that it is “antisocial, by promoting that those who have the most and have contributed the most to inflating the bubble will benefit the most from these incentives supported with everyone’s money”.

SCAM ALERT– Campaign that impersonates the DGT with ’emails’ to install a virus: {Translated from laprovincia.es}
-The National Institute of Cybersecurity ( Incibe ) has warned on Monday that it has detected a fraudulent campaign through email ( phishing ) impersonating the General Directorate of Traffic ( DGT ) with the aim of installing viruses on the various devices.
-As reported by the technology centre in León in a statement, the message sent contains a link to a supposed notification that downloads malware on the device that opens.
-The Incibe warns any user who has received an email from these features, you have clicked on the link to see the course file, and then open the file that you download, that can be installed by the virus in your device with the consequent risk to your files.
-Those affected are advised to scan their computers with an updated anti-virus and reminds them that if you need support or assistance to the removal of the malware, the Incibe offers his response service and support to security incidents.

Tax office staff warn furloughed workers they may need to do a tax declaration for 2020: Representatives of the government’s tax inspectors have warned people who have benefited from ERTE furloughing payments in the last 12 months of the Covid-19 pandemic to check if they need to fill out a tax return for 2020.
Normally those earning less than 22,000 euros a year from a single source, typically their employer, don’t have to complete a separate self-assessment-style declaration.
However, as many people were getting furlough money from the SEPE employment service as well as from an employer in 2020, they will be forced to file an individual tax return under the rules.
ERTE payments don’t normally have tax deducted at source, unlike a pay packet, and so many people could be caught out on their IRPF income-tax declaration as they will have some money to pay back to the taxman.

US has ‘secret evidence of UFOs breaking sound barrier without a sonic boom and performing moves humans don’t have the technology for’, says Trump’s Director of National Intelligence: The U.S. has evidence of UFOs breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom and making maneuvers impossible with known technology, the former Director of National Intelligence has revealed.
The revelations increased excitement about a forthcoming report detailing what the U.S. government has observed.
John Ratcliffe, who served as Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, said that many of the incidents still have no easy explanation.
‘When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it’s not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection,’ Ratcliffe said.
‘Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public.’
The government was, in December, given a 180-day deadline to disclose what it knew, meaning that the report should be out before June 1. Full article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9387129/There-lot-sightings-public-Anticipation-mounts-ahead-UFO-report.html

Global shortage in computer chips ‘reaches crisis point’: Consumers are facing price rises and shortages of products from TVs and mobile phones to cars and games consoles as a global shortage in semiconductors grows.
The shortage in chips, the “brain” within every electronic device in the world, has been steadily worsening since last year. Initially the problem was only a temporary delay in supplies as factories shut down when the coronavirus pandemic first hit. However, although production is back to normal, a new surge in demand driven by changing habits fueled by the pandemic means that it is now reaching crisis point.
Car manufacturers investing in tech-heavy electric vehicles, the boom in sales of TVs and home computers and launch of new games consoles and 5G-enabled mobile phones have all driven demand.
The chip shortage looks set to persist for some time yet. It can take up to two years to get complex semiconductor production factories up and running, and manufacturers are in the process of significantly raising prices for the second time in less than a year.
“There is no sign of supply catching up, or demand decreasing, while prices are rising across the chain,” says Campling, media and tech analyst at Mirabaud. . “This will cross over to people in the street. Expect cars to cost more, phones to cost more. This year’s iPhone is not going to be cheaper than last year.” Full article: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/mar/21/global-shortage-in-computer-chips-reaches-crisis-point
World’s first ship tunnel to be built under Norwegian mountains: Norway has got the go-ahead to construct what’s being billed as the world’s first ship tunnel, designed to help vessels navigate the treacherous Stadhavet Sea.
First announced a few years ago by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, this mile-long, 118-feet-wide tunnel will burrow through the mountainous Stadhavet peninsula in northwestern Norway.
Building this engineering marvel will cost somewhere in the region of 2.8 billion Norwegian kroner ($330 million) and take between three to four years, with construction due to commence in 2022.
