SPAIN
Mandatory Dog Insurance In Spain To Take Effect Next Month: 04 August 2023, 13:59 CET
– March of this year saw the culmination of months of negotiations with the successful passing of the pioneering Animal Welfare Law, known as Law 7/2023. Among its ground-breaking provisions, a noteworthy stipulation has emerged, requiring all dog owners to secure public liability insurance for their furry companions. This obligation will come into effect on September 29, 2023, marking a significant stride in enhancing pet protection.
– It’s just one facet of the array of new regulations introduced. These encompass:
*a compulsory training course for dog owners
*a prohibition on the sale of most animals in pet stores
*more stringent penalties targeting those who subject animals to abuse or neglect.
– The financial implications vary, contingent upon the comprehensiveness of the coverage. Certain policies, particularly those tailored for breeds with specific handling requirements (formerly categorised as hazardous breeds), may entail higher costs. However, as an average benchmark, basic packages hover around 24 euros annually, while more comprehensive options extend to approximately 90 euros.
– The scope of coverage within these policies is noteworthy, often reaching impressive limits of up to 200,000 euros. This encompassing umbrella can even encompass ancillary benefits, ranging from discounted veterinary treatments to provisions for kennel stays in the event the owner requires hospitalisation.
– It’s conceivable that individuals with pre-existing home insurance policies might already have some degree of coverage for their pets. However, come September, a pivotal adjustment will be necessary – dogs must be formally included within the insurance framework using their microchip identification. It’s important to highlight that, typically, a single pet is covered per policy. Full article: https://www.healthplanspain.com/blog/spain-news/1913-mandatory-dog-insurance-in-spain.html
ANDALUCIA
The heat wave activates alerts on Monday, Andalucia coast gets a break: {Translation}
– The heat wave this Monday, August 7, will place at risk (yellow) or significant risk (orange) fifteen provinces with temperatures up to 44C, according to the forecast of the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
– TEMPS. At significant risk of high temperatures are Cordoba, Huelva, Jaen, Seville, Ciudad Real, Badajoz and Caceres, while they will have yellow warning for the same phenomenon in Granada and Cadiz. Maximum temperatures will decrease in southern Andalusia and throughout the Mediterranean coastal areas over the next few days, while they will rise in the rest of the Peninsula and will remain unchanged in the Canary Islands.
– WIND. The province of Cadiz will also be affected by yellow warnings for wind – with strong gusts of up to 80 km/h – and waves, a phenomenon which, in turn, will put on yellow alert to Mallorca and Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, and Girona. In Andalusia, Balearic Islands and Catalonia expect waves of two to three meters high with wind and swell from the northeast.
– In this context will begin the third heat wave of this summer in Spain, an episode that will be present in the Peninsula until next Thursday, August 10. From this Monday, a flow of southern component in low levels of the atmosphere, will favor the entry by the south peninsular of a mass of African continental air, very warm and dry, which will cause an additional increase in temperatures.

– Citizens, organizations and associations “that so consider” can send their opinions on the aspects raised in relation to this draft order through the email box sg.interior.cpidssa@juntadeandalucia.es , where the contributions of each one must be accompanied by the name and surname, or company name or name of the entity that the sender represents.

MALAGA PROVINCE
The ‘drag queen’ Afrodiziack (41) dies on the stage during performance at a local in Torremolinos: {Translation} The ‘drag queen’ known by her stage name as Afrodiziack died this Saturday at the age of 41 while performing on stage at the venue she ran in the Malaga municipality of Torremolinos, the ‘Tiki Tiki Show Copas’. Around 2:30 several calls alerted the 112 Andalusia Emergency Service that a person had collapsed on the scene of an establishment on Danza Invisible street and that he was unconscious. From 112 Andalucía they alerted the Police and the health services that travelled to this entertainment venue but when they arrived, although they tried to revive Afrodiziack, they failed to recover and had to certify his death. Social networks collect messages of condolence for her husband, family and friends and those who knew Afrodiziack assure that she was a “wonderful person and a great artist” who left “too young”.

NERJA
Paid Access To Río Chíllar Being Discussed: {Translation, summary}
– The Chíllar River in the town of Nerja is experiencing a significant increase in visitors this summer, which is causing serious congestion in its middle and upper channel. Although the regulation promised by the Junta de Andalucía has been pending for several years and the Town Council of Nerja has repeatedly urged its implementation, nothing came of it. Now a company has shown interest in taking over the management of this regulation. The mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, announced this development after a meeting with the delegate of the Junta in Malaga, Patricia Navarro.
– The mayor said that a forthcoming meeting will be held with representatives of the Public Hydraulic Domain (DPH) of the Board to advance in the possible regulation and control of access to the natural site of the Chíllar River, which is part of the park of the Sierras Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama.
– In this possible solution, the private company would be in charge of managing access, surveillance and maintenance of the Chíllar River, which would allow controlling the flow of visitors. It is expected that in the future visitors would have to pay for access, similar to the scheme used in the Caminito del Rey. One of the key challenges is to determine the maximum sustainable capacity for the Chíllar River, considering its environmental preservation. It has been suggested that this number could be around 300 visitors per day, according to a study conducted by the Junta de Andalucía.
– Although these measures are not yet confirmed, they represent a direction that is being discussed in Nerja Town Hall meetings with the Junta de Andalucía to address congestion and ensure the long-term conservation of the aluente.
