MALAGA PROVINCE
The El Caminito del Rey facility will be expanded with the largest pedestrian suspension bridge in Spain: {Translation, summary}
– On the eve of the tenth anniversary of its reopening after the rehabilitation process it underwent, the Caminito del Rey in Malaga is facing its most important enlargement with the installation of the biggest pedestrian suspension bridge in Spain, 110 meters long and with a maximum height of 50 meters, which will be located near the area over the iron railway bridge and the El Chorro tunnel in Alora.
– The work for the installation of this pedestrian bridge, which already has the approval of the Junta de Andalucía, will begin in the coming weeks and is expected to be open in November, as announced this morning the president of the Diputación de Málaga, Francisco Salado, who stressed that the investment will be 1,250,000 euros. This amount will be charged to the funds generated by El Caminito del Rey, which, according to the canon, must be used to improve this tourist infrastructure.
– This new bridge is presented as an alternative to the current exit route of the Caminito -which can continue to be used- and will mean that visitors will save almost a kilometer of downhill through steeper terrain. At the end of the bridge, trails will be prepared to complete the route to the exit.

The first town in Spain with a flock of municipal goats to clean the mountains is in Malaga: {Translation, summary}
– The Town Council of Benarrabá, a small municipality in the province of Málaga located in the Valle del Genial {map}, has acquired, for about 3,000 euros, a total of 40 head of goats, thus becoming the first town in Spain to have a herd of goats owned by the municipality.
– The purchase of these animals is derived from a double need. On the one hand, 
the cleaning of the mountains, defenseless against the risk of fires due to the lack of rain and the abandonment of the countryside by goatherds and shepherds. This has caused the undergrowth to grow out of control and the firefighters are forced to fight the fire alone by making auxiliary strips along the roads. On the other hand, this acquisition means the recovery of a profession and a way of life in danger of extinction, together with the tourist potential and the attractiveness that we want to give to rural life.
– For this reason, the mayor of Benarrabá, Silvestre Barroso, has carried out this initiative together with the training and hiring of a young shepherd, Mohamed Adiraman, who has taken charge of the municipal goat farm thanks to a grant from the Next Generation funds to combat depopulation in rural areas and as part of a cooperation program with the Saharawi people.
“Not only will we contribute to the work of Plan Infoca is more effective in our term, but also hope that this year can come to our town groups of families and visitors in general, attracted by the particularity of having a herd of goats in our term, “said the mayor.
– But the intention of the Consistory goes further and has set as a priority objective that this project grows, so that it becomes viable that a family can live from the care of the herd. To this end, the creation of up to three goat stables is contemplated, which will allow the animals to graze in different areas of the public forests, covering an area of more than 500 hectares.

TORRE DEL MAR
Dog park in Torre del Mar has been completely renovated:
– The dog park in the El Tomillar in Torre del Mar has been completely renovated and reopened on Tuesday 11 February.
Vélez- Málaga town hall has moved the benches and litter bins to external areas to avoid collisions and has replaced the facilities damaged by the autumn rain, which forced the park to be closed.
– Other improvements include replacing the sand which generated dust and, with the passage of animals, became impassable and unstable, with the consequent risk of falls. It has been replaced by sieved sand, which allows compaction and does not generate dust. In the same line of action, the central flowerbeds have been removed.

Deadly Russian attack on Kyiv; Zelenskyy open to Kursk swap:
– A missile attack on Kyiv early on Wednesday morning killed at least one civilian, injured three and started fires, Ukrainian officials said. The Ukrainian military said on Wednesday that it shot down six out of seven ballistic missiles and 71 drones. Another 40 out of 123 total drones launched overnight were probably stopped by electronic countermeasures.
– The strikes had caused damage in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi, Podilskyi, Sviatoshynskyi and Obolonskyi districts, mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Ukrainian natural gas production facilities were damaged in a heavy Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s central Poltava region over Tuesday night, officials, said on Tuesday.
– Meanwhile, officials in the city of Kryvyi Rih also reported damage to residential buildings and infrastructure after the city was also targeted in Russian strikes on Tuesday night, the Dnipropetrovsk regional governor said on Telegram.
– Volodymyr Zelenskyy will offer Vladimir Putin a swap of Ukrainian-occupied territory in Kursk for Russian-held land in Ukraine, if Donald Trump manages to bring them to the negotiating table, Shaun Walker reports. “We will swap one territory for another,” the Ukrainian president said in an exclusive interview, adding that he did not know which part of Russian-occupied land Ukraine would ask for in return. “I don’t know, we will see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority.”

Where to eat in Canillas de Aceituno- suckling goat is the local specialty: {Translation, summary}
– Restaurante La Sociedad. For decades it has become one of the sanctuaries of 
the suckling goat from Malaga in the wood-fired oven. There it is usually done in the traditional way with a roast in which the excellent quality of this meat is pampered. A complete piece of suckling goat is ideal for a group of at least four people. It is advisable to book well in advance (at least two days) not only to find a table but also to have the goat available, as it is usually made on demand. You can also enjoy other dishes with Malaga suckling goat that do not require booking a whole animal, such as garlic dishes. In this restaurant it is also possible to find other traditional dishes. Among them, the most famous is the fennel stew, very typical of this area of the Axarquia.
WHERE: Calle de la Iglesia, 12, 29716 Canillas de Aceituno. Telephone 952 518 292.
– Secret Garden. Whether in its cozy and landscaped courtyard or in its lounge, in 
this restaurant in Canillas you can enjoy a cuisine with an exotic and avant-garde touch, which is clearly different from the more traditional restaurants and bars of the town, although there is also room for some classics of Spanish cuisine. Thus, there you can order a Wellington sirloin steak or a paella. Their homemade desserts deserve a special mention.
WHERE: Calle Agua, 7, 29716 Canillas de Aceituno. Telephone: 600 696 574.
– Bar El Puente. At one of the entrances to the town center, next to one of the 
parking lots, you can make a stop at this restaurant where there are many traditional tapas. There is no lack of goat with garlic, but also other classics of Andalusian cuisine, such as Russian salad, meatballs in sauce or meat with tomato or anchovies in vinegar. It is also ideal for breakfast.
WHERE: Carretera MA-125, 16, 29716 Canillas de Aceituno. Telephone: 652 593 872.
– Bar Andalucía. Near the church, this is another of the bars that have been 
serving breakfast and lunch in this village in Malaga for years. There is no shortage of classics, such as meat with garlic, lean meat with tomato, pork fillets, meatballs or chicken skewers. They also have some fried fish, patatas bravas, Russian salad or homemade croquettes as other options in their menu.
WHERE: Plaza de la Constitucion, 1, 29716 Canillas de Aceituno. Telephone: 660 439 694.
– Barbacoa Sugar Family. On the outskirts of the city center, next to the 
municipal swimming pool and with a beautiful environment, you can also go to a very different place from the rest, both for its menu and its location. There you can taste Romanian cuisine, but also from other countries of the planet. It has a barbecue where tasty grilled meats are made. For the little ones there is a swing where they can wait while the food arrives.
WHERE: Next to the municipal swimming pool. MA-126, s/n. 29716 Canillas de Aceituno. Telephone: 642 480 323.

Spanish Internet Crisis- Movistar & DIGI Are Blocking Legit Websites As Result Of Overzealous Efforts To Protect La Liga Football From Pirates- Citizen’s Rights Trampled By Sports Conglomerate:
– Unexplained chaos at ISPs Movistar and DIGI has prevented some customers from accessing many sites using Cloudflare for over a week. Simultaneously, football league LaLiga stated they are working to shut down pirate streaming platforms, warning Cloudflare and others that they consider them responsible for profiting from piracy. Since statements now link these two events, Spain has a crisis on its hands.
– The idea that powerful companies could gain authority from the courts to interfere in residential access to the internet, was initially dismissed as insane. In time, those who protested the loudest were the ones dismissed as deluded. Their warnings, that handing internet blocking powers to rightsholders would eventually end in disaster, were subsequently dismissed by governments and national courts all around Europe. Politicians often dismissed these concerns, citing safeguards and suggesting such problems were impossible.
– To prevent piracy, Spain’s top football league LaLiga has permission from the courts to compel ISPs, including Movistar and DIGI, to block access to pirate sites.
– For roughly a week, customers of Movistar and DIGI have been complaining that seemingly random sites were refusing to load for no obvious reason. Cloudflare customers were reporting similar issues; more specifically, Cloudflare customers who are also customers of Movistar, or Cloudflare customers who run websites that customers of Movistar could no longer visit.
– Cloudflare says La Liga understood the dangers but went ahead anyway. Cloudflare’s statement in full:
“Cloudflare provides security and reliability services to millions of websites, helping to prevent cyberattacks and make the Internet safer. Like virtually all major cloud service providers, Cloudflare uses shared IP addresses to manage its network, meaning that thousands of domains can be accessed with a single IP address.”
“Cloudflare has repeatedly warned about the consequences of IP blocking that fundamentally ignores the way the Internet works. Indeed, other governments in Europe have acknowledged these concerns and concluded that IP blocking violates net neutrality. Although LaLiga clearly understood that blocking shared IP addresses would affect the rights of millions of consumers to access hundreds of thousands of websites that do not break the law, LaLiga went ahead with the blocking. This appears to reflect a mistaken belief that its commercial interests should take precedence over the rights of millions of consumers to access the open Internet.”
“At the same time, Cloudflare regularly speaks with rights holders and policy makers about better ways to combat illegal piracy and online abuse. While Cloudflare cannot remove content from the Internet that it does not host, we have well-developed abuse processes in place to help by connecting rights holders with service providers who can take effective action. We will continue to push for rational solutions to combat illegal piracy that do not impact the rights of millions of Europeans to browse the Internet.” Full article: https://torrentfreak.com/spain-piracy-crisis-cloudflare-says-laliga-knew-danger-blocked-ip-address-anyway-250211/
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
What You Need To Know Before Allowing Your Business To Integrate AI:
– Most organizations have implemented AI policies, yet enforcement remains a challenge. Many organizations opt to simply issue AI policies and hope employees follow the guidance. While this approach avoids friction, it provides little enforcement or visibility, leaving organizations exposed to potential security and compliance risks. Remember, businesses in Spain must comply with government mandated data security standards.
– Businesses need to ensure your AI policy meets your organization’s requirements by consulting with your legal, security, and HR teams before implementation. Full article: https://thehackernews.com/2025/02/how-to-steer-ai-adoption-ciso-guide.html
