ANDALUCIA
Andalucians can soon enter the buildings of the Junta de Andalucía with their dogs or cats: {Translation}
– If you want to go to any public building of the Junta de Andalucía, you will not have to leave your dog at home. Nor at the door. The animal will be able to walk around the facilities dependent on the autonomous administration because the Governing Council has approved this Tuesday that pets will have guaranteed access to its facilities.
– Thus, “one of the priorities of the Andalusian Government in terms of pet protection is the promotion of responsible pet ownership”. To this end, Juanma Moreno’s government considers it “necessary to proceed with a progressive change in the view that citizens have of animals, so that they are seen as beings deserving of respect who need care and attention”.
– The Andalusian government’s decision, according to the Junta, involves the application of national regulations which stipulate that pets must be allowed to enter public buildings. This regulation, within the Animal Welfare Law, was approved a few months ago and it was now the Andalusian government’s turn to adapt it to the community.
– The deadlines set by the law is that animals can start entering public buildings on 29 September 2023. “From that day onwards, any person will be able to enter any public building or facility with their pet, unless there is an express prohibition to the contrary, duly signposted and visible from the outside, as is also stated in the aforementioned legislative text.

NERJA
Nerja celebrates the Night of San Juan with music and the burning of the “Júa”, bans bonfires: {Translation, summary}
– The traditional Night of San Juan will be held again this year on Burriana beach on June 23 with the popular burning of the “Júa” at midnight and live musical performances.
– Regarding the mandatory regulations, the Councilor for Beaches, María del Carmen López , has detailed that camping and bonfires will not be allowed on the beaches of Burriana, La Torrecilla and Maro. “Regarding the schedules and other regulations related to the use of our beaches during the festival of San Juan, they can be consulted on the municipal website,” she explained.
