La Fiesta de los Patios de Córdoba (Córdoba Patio Festival): 2 to 12 May 2024
Cordobans celebrate the annual Patio Festival and Flower Contest by opening their beautiful courtyards of their homes to the public.
One of the main tourist attractions of Córdoba is its patios, a place of coexistence and center of family life. In them, history, light, water and vegetation dialogue in a unique environment.
This year, 52 spaces will be open from 2 to 12 May: 23 of ancient architecture, 20 of modern architecture and nine unique ones.
Since 1921, they have taken on a special role with the Cordovan Patios Festival, declared a Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012. It is celebrated during the month of May, where the Cordovan patios are adorned with flowers and pots that hang from their walls, or they are placed on the cobbled pavement.
And to complete the essence of these emblematic places, their caretakers decorate the rooms with antique furniture or kitchen utensils, among other details.

SPAIN

Pedro Sánchez to stay as Spain’s PM after five-day reflection period:
– Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced this Monday that he will not be resigning, after taking five days to consider his future in the role.
– Sánchez thanked supporters for all the encouragement he had received in recent days and said that had influenced his decision.

Manos Limpias regrets that Pedro Sánchez does not resign and announces more evidence that “will incriminate Begoña Gómez and the president himself”: {Translation, summary}
– The secretary general of Manos Limpias, Miguel Bernad, has pointed out this Monday that the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, should have announced his resignation this Monday and warns that new evidence will come out, this time related to him, in the case opened by a judge against his wife, Begoña Gómez, for the alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption in business.
– This is what he said in statements to the media, in which he pointed out that Sánchez’s decision “can tremendously sink his own party” – the PSOE. “The PSOE is going to have a lot more evidence that not only incriminates her, Begoña Gómez, but also him,” he said.
– In response to this assertion, and asked why these supposed indications have not already been made known, Bernad explained that they are going “little by little” because evidence cannot be presented “in a haphazard manner”.

ANDALUCÍA

Weather warnings activated for heavy rain, with possibility of thunderstorms, hail and even snow in the south of Spain:
– Starting today (Monday 29 April) there are warnings for heavy storms, the possibility of hail and snowfall at high altitudes in the eastern mountain ranges of the region.
– On Tuesday the situation will be slightly calmer, although “light morning showers” are not ruled out, with cloudy skies, especially in the far east of Andalucía. Temperatures, however, will experience a slight increase in their minimum and maximum values.
– When will the rain stop? This rainy situation has to do with a deep and extensive trough which, added to the effects of the cold storm that has been affecting the Spanish mainland since last week, will make the weather unstable for most of the week. On Wednesday, in fact, it is quite likely that showers and thunderstorms will be repeated in most of Andalucía, being a day marked by rainfall.
– Although it will continue to be quite cold, the situation will start to improve from Thursday onwards, when the rains will start to ease, although temperatures will continue to fall. However, if the Aemet forecasts prove accurate, from then onwards the days will start to get warmer and the cloudy skies will gradually give way to sunny days.

The mongoose may be hunted on farms and preserves in Andalusia that show damage, new legislation will speed up the application process: {Translation, summary}
– The eagerness of the mongoose to prey on animals is a growing problem in the Andalusian ecosystem, affecting not only livestock but also many hunting grounds. This small mammal feeds on rabbits, small birds such as partridges or quails, reptiles and even, increasingly, calves, lambs or chickens, and is one of the most active and elusive predators (measuring between 50 and 65 cm, with a long tail and weighing between 2-4 kilograms) in the Andalusian countryside. Its threat to these groups of animals has led farmers, ranchers and hunters to request on countless occasions that its hunting be authorised.
– In Spain, the mongoose is not a protected or endangered species. It is classified as “Least Concern- There are no current identifiable risks to the species”. In Portugal, the mongoose is classed as a “game species”.
– The procedure for authorising the exceptional culling of the mongoose already exists, but according to farmers and hunters, it is a real “administrative labyrinth” for the owners of hunting grounds and farms, which rarely ends up being granted. Now, the department headed by Ramón Fernández-Pacheco has announced that an instruction will be issued by the Directorate General for Forestry Policy and Biodiversity to make it easier for these authorisations to work and be managed correctly in the territorial delegations.
– In this way, within 15 days of the application being submitted to the Territorial Delegation, a field inspection will be carried out by environmental agents to verify the damage and proceed, if necessary, to manage the species.
– With the commitment to speed up authorisations to hunt the mongoose in areas where damage occurs, Andalusia is following in the footsteps of Extremadura, which a few weeks ago was the first autonomous community to authorise the control of this small carnivore to “prevent damage to agriculture and protect other species of wild fauna”, according to the Extremaduran government. In neighbouring Portugal, on the other hand, it is classed as a game species.

Unemployment increases in Andalusia by 2,600 people from January to March and 26,700 jobs are lost: {Translation, summary}
– Unemployment rose by 2,600 people in Andalusia during the first quarter to 730,000 unemployed, 0.36% more than the previous quarter, according to data from the Labour Force Survey (EPA) published this Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). With the rise in the first quarter, the unemployment rate in the region stands at 17.77%.
– As for young people, the number of unemployed under-25s in Andalusia fell by 16,700 in the last three months, bringing the youth unemployment rate to 36.88%.
– Cadiz and Granada were the Andalusian provinces with the highest unemployment rates with 24.19% and 22.41% respectively. In the rest, Huelva has a rate of 17.35%; Malaga has a rate of 16.83%; Jaen has 16.75%; Almeria has a rate of 15.90%; Seville, with 14.85%, and Cordoba has a rate of 14.67%.

COSTA DEL SOL

There will be no Cala Mijas music festival on the Costa del Sol in 2024 and these are the reasons why:
– The cancellation of the event, which has been rumoured for weeks, was confirmed just four months before it was set to appear for the third year – scheduled for 29, 30 and 31 August – and with many tickets already sold.
– Event promoter Last Tour confirmed talks had broken down with Mijas council over “repeated and serious breaches” in the sponsorship contract. However, town hall claimed it was Last Tour who had breached the agreement and reserved the right to take “the appropriate measures to rectify the damage caused”.
– In a statement, Last Tour criticised the non-payment of “important sums” for the 2023 festival, an amount the new council of mayor Ana Mata had left unpaid due to an objection from the municipal auditors.

Carer arrested after 18,000 euros goes missing from the woman she was looking after in Casares:
– A carer has been arrested for fraud after allegedly stealing 18,000 euros from a woman she was looking after in Casares, near Estepona, on the Costa del Sol.
– A Guardia Civil investigation was launched in January after the 67-year-old victim told police that money had been taken from her bank account and her debit card, and she suspected her carer, a 34-year-old Colombian woman, to be behind it.
– Police then discovered the carer had been making withdrawals of large amounts of cash, since January, from the ATM cash machines of bank branches in the towns of Casares and Estepona, making total unauthorised transactions to the value of 18,000 euros. Abusing the victim’s trust, the woman took the victim’s debit card and the security access codes.

MALAGA PROVINCE

More than 116,000 patients in Malaga exceed the waiting times to have surgery or see a specialist: {Translation}
– It is not necessary to look at the SAS statistics to discover that waiting lists are skyrocketing. From their own experience or from acquaintances, the people of Malaga know it and suffer from it. The latest data from the Andalusian Health Service (SAS) for last December confirm this: a total of 116,027 people in the province’s public health service exceed the maximum waiting time stipulated for an operation -3,388- or an appointment with a specialist -112,639-. This means that the Administration is in breach of the decrees in which it imposed time limits on itself precisely in order to contain waiting lists.
– In the case of outpatient consultations, of the 186,264 patients pending an appointment with a specialist from primary care, 112,639 have a delay of more than 60 days. This is the deadline set by the SAS after referrals from the general practitioner or paediatrician from the health centre. The figure means that in this section, 60.47% of users are – as they say in the health world – outside the decree. In other words, they exceed the times set by regional regulations.
– Moreover, the December figures are worse than those of June. Last summer, the average delay for specialist consultations from primary care was 102 days, while at the end of the year it was 129.
– Apart from these 186,264 patients awaiting an appointment with a specialist following a referral from their primary care doctor, there are 33,591 more people waiting to be seen by a specialist in the provincial public health system. But these cases are interconsultation cases – when one specialist refers to another – and have no guaranteed maximum time for care.
– Despite this distinction between some consultations protected by a maximum waiting time – those from primary care – and others that are not – those for inter-consultation or check-ups – the fact is that delays punish thousands of patients who often end up paying for private care or going to A&E to speed up their care.
– There are also patients who have exceeded the deadlines on the surgical waiting list. The decrees establish a maximum time limit for surgery, which – depending on the pathology – can be 90, 120 and 180 days. In addition, there are others that are not covered by a time limit (no guarantee). As of last December, according to SAS data, there are 19,301 patients with a guarantee awaiting an operation. Of these, 3,388 are out of time. This means that 17.5% exceed the time limits that should be met by the public health system.
– Also in the section on the surgical waiting list, the December figures are worse than those of June. Because last summer, the average delay in the case of patients awaiting guaranteed surgery was 88 days, and by the end of 2023 it had risen to 98.
– But in addition to the 19,301 patients on the surgical waiting list protected by the decrees – which the statistics show are rights that remain a dead letter in thousands of cases – there are those who have no guarantees. These amount to 12,673, with an average delay of 254 days and of which there are 1,855 who are waiting for more than a year.
– Beyond the cumbersome tangle of decrees that are not complied with in many cases, in total, as of December 2023 there are more than 250,000 people in the province awaiting an operation – 31,974 – or a consultation with a specialist – 219,855.
– The unknown of the delay in diagnostic tests. The PSOE has never acknowledged during its administration any patient outside of the decree. For this reason, trade unions and professionals have always accused the PSOE of making up the waiting lists. Now, with the PP in control, the data on patients who exceed the time limits are provided. However, the waiting lists for diagnostic tests are not provided. During the Socialist administration they were published. They ceased to be provided under the PP. The Andalusian administration argues that the Ministry of Health cuts do not include this information. So the delay in the tests is unknown, although it is a key figure because it depends on them whether or not the patient is included in the surgical waiting list.

FRIGILIANA

Frigiliana celebrates Cane Honey Day with visits to its factory: {Translation, summary}
– Frigiliana celebrates another edition of the Sugar Cane Honey Festival with the opening of its factory to the public on 4 May. The production of this “black honey” is a practice that has been declining in recent decades, this municipality being the only one in Europe that works with sugar cane.
– The festive day includes a series of guided tours of the Nuestra Señora del Carmen sugar mill, located in a 16th century county palace, which will open its doors to the general public on the occasion of the celebration, as during the rest of the year it is not possible to enter. Guided tours will take place from 12 noon to 6 p.m., in groups of 40 people every 30 minutes, on a first-come, first-served basis. For those who join later, there will be a quicker tour so that they do not miss out on this unique experience.

GRANADA

The Costa de Granada maintains restrictions on filling swimming pools: {Translation, summary}
– The Costa Tropical, whose municipalities are in a situation of “normality” after some of them were placed in “pre-alert” for drought in previous months, maintains in cities like Almuñécar the restrictions in force contained in the municipal decree which interrupted the service of showers and footbaths on the beaches from 1 September 2022. It prohibits the “filling and/or refilling” of private pools, a line that is being followed at the moment by all the municipalities while waiting for the evolution of the situation, and stressing the request for responsible consumption.

UK

Humza Yousaf quits as Scotland’s first minister in boost to Labour’s chances in UK vote:
– Scotland’s leader Humza Yousaf resigned on Monday, further opening the door to the UK opposition Labour Party regaining ground in its former Scottish heartlands in a national election expected to be held later this year.
– Yousaf, the first Muslim head of government in modern Western Europe, is quitting as head of the pro-independence Scottish National Party and first minister of Scotland’s devolved government after a week of chaos triggered by his scrapping of a coalition agreement with the Green Party.
– He then failed to secure enough support to survive a no-confidence vote, expected later this week. “I’ve concluded that repairing our relationship across the political divide can only be done with someone else at the helm,” Yousaf said, resigning a little over a year since he replaced Nicola Sturgeon as first minister and SNP leader.
