What’s On

Tell them you saw it on DigameXtra!

Upcoming Major Spanish Festivals: Come on, have a go! This is part of why you moved here. No excuses, you have plenty of time to make plans. Grab a party outfit at the clothes recycler, add some oddball accessories and you’ll fit right in! Way more fun than simply observing as a tourist, and much better pics to share with friends.
-Carnival, February 23rd. The pre-Lent costume party celebrated throughout Spain.
-Las Fallas, Valencia, March 15th – 19th: Celebrating Saint Joseph, the Patron Saint of Carpenters. Fireworks, bonfires and parades featuring the famous giant papier-mâché models satirizing politicians and popular figures of the day. The “ninots” are eventually burnt with glee at the frenzied conclusion.
-Semana Santa (Holy week), April 5th – 12th: Easter Week, throughout Spain. Assorted processions and passion plays, with Andalucia hosting some of Spain’s most elaborate events.
April Fair, Seville, April 25th – May 2nd: Two weeks after Easter week every year people break out the traditional costumes, dance Sevillanas and party in the streets during the Feria de Abril.
-Romería de El Rocío (El Rocio Pilgrimage), Almonte, May 31st – June 1st: The most famous of Spain’s Romerias, El Rocio attracts some one million people on a pilgrimage to the Saint, with some travelling on horseback, other by carriage or on foot dressed in traditional flamenco-style outfits. Expect live music, dancing, food and drink until well into the early hours.

 

The 34th edition of 200 Millas A2 regatta will be held between February 28th and March 1st: Altea’s Club Nautica once again organises the Mediterranean’s most emblematic winter race, an Altea-Ibiza-Altea round trip. The race is also a classifying heat for the Copa de España de Cruceros A2 Spanish championships. It is held at a time of the year when participants face harsh weather conditions at sea, completing a circuit of 200 nautical miles (approximately370.5 kilometres).

Internet Explorer Browser Alert: While this browser is being retired by Microsoft, many people still use it. Microsoft earlier today issued an emergency security advisory warning millions of Windows users of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE) browser that attackers are actively exploiting in the wild — and there is no patch yet available for it. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on targeted computers and take full control over them just by convincing victims into opening a maliciously crafted web page on the vulnerable Microsoft browser.
The affected web browsing software includes — Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11 running on all versions of Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and the recently-discontinued Windows 7.

The mobile text (SMS message) emergency alert system already used in the Netherlands and Belgium is coming to Spain: In the event of a serious incident, the mass warning system will alert people of the danger posed in a specific area and the actions that should be taken to ensure their safety.
Data will be collected from telephone providers in the area of an emergency, an alert will be sent through SMS to mobile phones. This would include situations such as acts of terrorism, bombs, chemical explosions and mass murders. This may also eventually do as in America, and send “Amber Alerts”, in cases of child abduction emergency.
Texts with messages such as ‘Detected chemical accident in XX. Stay at home with the windows closed until further notice’ would be received by registered mobile phone users shortly after the incident occurs.

Recommendations

Reply to bank problems, when an account is stopped: This has been a problem for lots of people who have Spanish bank accounts but are not resident, due to money laundering regulations.
The banks have been requesting identification documents from all non Spanish residents who have Spanish bank accounts. Some banks notify their customers but I know a lot of people haven’t been notified and only discover the problem when their bills go unpaid or their electric or water supply cut off.
I would check with you Spanish bank to see if they need any updated documents from you. You should be able to phone your bank and then email them your identification documents and any other details they need. Contact your branch, not the head office.
When they have these documents they will lift the block on your account.
You must check that any debits or standing orders you have on this account have not been stopped as well. Because when the bank block an account all transactions in and out are stopped.
I hope this is helpful.

All looks good on their website but we cannot find any reviews anywhere. Also seen them on Facebook but again no reviews. We are aware of other trips on offer, but we need the date to coincide with a visitor who is with us from March 20th to 24th and they appear to be the only we can find. Thanks Steve/El Morche.

Computer News by DoctorLaptop
-Today Windows 7 officially became obsolete amid waves of forum reports from users that it has mysteriously developed minor but annoying problems. Common problems reported are: the necessity to click on an item multiple times before the click worked, browsers crashing when first opened in a newly started computer, display fonts changing on websites and email, more streaming TV buffering and longer wait time for newly opened website pages to load. Just a coincidence, or Microsoft nudging Win 7 users to upgrade?
-Microsoft is patching a major Windows 10 flaw discovered by the NSA that could expose users to surveillance or serious data breaches, according to the Washington Post. For a change, the NSA disclosed the vulnerability rather than exploiting it. In the past, the NSA might have kept the security hole to itself, using it to spy on adversaries. The best examples of that are WannaCry and EternalBlue, Windows 10 vulnerabilities discovered and exploited by the NSA for years.
A software patch was released earlier to critical Windows 10 clients including the US military and managers of key internet infrastructure. Microsoft has since released updates for all customers, urging them to install them “as quickly as practical.”

-The popular IPTV app UlangoTV has been shut down. It is unlikely to be returning after its domain was taken over by the global anti-piracy coalition. https://torrentfreak.com/ace-shuts-down-ulango-tv-pirate-iptv-app-seizes-domain-200113/

 

Nerja’s Calahonda beach and Carabineros walkway to get major facelift: Malaga’s provincial government, Diputación, announced last week that it has approved a budget of 281,368 euros to make improvements to Nerja’s Calahonda beach. The project will connect the beach with the Carabineros walkway near the town’s famous Balcón de Europa. Steps will be built to allow access from the walkway down onto the beach, with wooden handrails, benches, lighting and a garden area according to the Diputacíon. The money will also go towards taking down an old beach bar on the Calahonda beach and using the space for sun loungers. http://www.surinenglish.com/local/202001/10/nerja-calahonda-beach-carabineros-20200110093034-v.html

Motril joins the “Marrow for Lucas” search: Motril joins a solidarity campaign to help Lucas, a three-year-old boy from Almeria, suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who needs a bone donation from a compatible donor. On January 31, Motril residents will be able to go to the La Matraquilla civic center to donate blood and marrow between 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The town joins a campaign initiated by the parents of the child on social networks. Through the “Médula para Lucas” Facebook page, his parents are trying to find bone marrow donors. Lucas was admitted to the University Hospital of Torrecardenas, where he is treated for this type of leukemia that is characterized because the bone marrow produces too many immature lymphocytes.  https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2020/01/14/axarquia-news-help-lucas-find-bone-marrow/ PHOTO:Facebook

Bank Advice Needed: Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I have internet banking with Unicaja bank. Recently they have requested a security check, before I can access my account details. These are quite simple requests except for a coordinate details from a coordinate card. I was never given a coordinate card when opening the account four years ago. I am currently in the UK and am trying to contact the bank to no avail. The Tel. No. I have just rings out and I was given an email address to contact someone but I have not received a reply.
Anyone else having the same problem? Or any help would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, Janet, Competa

TikTok App Hacked: The famous video-sharing app contains dangerous vulnerabilities that can allow remote attackers to hijack any user account just by knowing the mobile number of targeted victims. Then hackers can:
-delete any videos from victims’ TikTok profile.
-upload unauthorized videos to victims’ TikTok profile, (which can include illegal images, and then they can blackmail you with threats of sending your family/employeer a screenshot of your TikTok app displaying the illegal images).
-make private “hidden” videos public.
-reveal personal information saved on the account, such as private addresses and emails.
Users need to update as soon as possible to fix this.

Missing: HARRY STAGG, 23 years old has gone missing in Spain.
A family appeal has started after Harry Stagg, from East Cowes on the Isle of Wight has gone missing after travelling though France and into Spain with a friend, Kim Muca. Whilst travelling Harry had been separated from his friend, and they both found great difficulty getting in contact with each other has they had no use of a mobile phone.
On 29th November 2019 Harry made a call from the Police National in HUESCA, he contacted home however there was no answer, but managed to get back in touch with his friend Kim and the pair arranged to meet each other, but unfortunately due to finances on both sides they didn’t manage to reunite. The phone call on the 29th November was the last contact Harry had with any family or friends.
Harry was due to head to his Grandad’s in ALORA for Christmas and New Year but has never arrived. Harry’s mother contacted the police on the Isle of Wight, and has been speaking to the British Embassy, although she has been told that a missing persons report needed to be made in Spain with the Guardia Civil.

Beach walkers in Spain fight back to record number of complaints about dog poo: On the news that a Council in Spain were considering banning dogs from beaches due to the rising level of poop that appeared alongside the shores, beach walkers have defiantly fought back.
Sources had indicated that the alarming amount of dog poo left on the sandy shores in Costa del Sol’s Malaga, had prompted Council officials to act, where a possible prohibition of canines on beaches would be imminently enforced.
However, a group of dog owners made a bold and deserving statement this morning (January 8) whilst walking with their beloved pooches on Fuengirola beach. Rising in the early hours, the kind-hearted souls picked every ounce of poop in sight and collected it all in a plastic bag.

Recommendations

Greek Casita- Torrox Costa: Their New Year’s Eve party was a great success, with live music provided throughout the night by a capable duo of guitarist/singer and cajon player.
This was no buffet (although there was a self-serve fruit and cheese table), all 4 courses were served individually. All tables had pita bread, cuke slices and tasty tzatziki dip, plus water and wine bottles. The first course at 8PM was a huge Greek style antipasto full of sliced meats, cheeses, Greek olives and stuffed grape leaves, with an Ouzo shot on the side. We had some time for digesting and dancing before the second course, a cheese filled potato dish pastry reminiscent of a soft Knish, one of my favorite NYC foods. For the 12:30AM main course I opted for the very tasty grilled herb-feta stuffed octopus; it arrived with a delicious sweet/lemony greens veg on the side.
This was certainly the most food I have been served in a restaurant meal, and I am sure I have left out some items, so much food! I was not drinking, but the wine and water bottles on the tables were replaced promptly when empty. The courses were spaced out so there was plenty of time to socialize and digest. A nice relaxed, enjoyable evening indeed, and unlike any other event I have attended in the area! We even took a break at midnight (between the 2nd and 3rd courses) to walk to the beach as some patrons launched Chinese lanterns toward Morocco. As I had a lonely dog to attend to I skipped the dessert, said goodbye to my new friends, and headed home at 1:30AM. Naythan/Torrox Costa doctorlaptop@protonmail.com

How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your photos into a single collage photo by using this free (you need to provide email) online collage creation tool. It’s very easy to use, give it a try! https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/

Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. I am too busy to keep track of partial submissions in different emails and patch them together. Your cooperation is appreciated.
-Editor

NEW YEAR SYSTEM UPGRADES: DigameXtra has extended the daily submissions deadline to 6pm to accommodate businesses that have “tarde” hours. I have also upgraded the blog to now accept photos of up to 4Mb file size, to accommodate those less tech savvy readers who cannot figure out how to shrink photo file sizes. However, if you are able to do so, please limit photos to 2Mb file size.

If yes, you should immediately update your Firefox web browser to the latest version available on Mozilla’s website.
Why the urgency? Mozilla earlier today released Firefox 72.0.1 and Firefox ESR 68.4.1 versions to patch a critical zero-day vulnerability in its browsing software that an undisclosed group of hackers is actively exploiting in the wild.
Firefox, by default, automatically installs updates when they are available and activate a new version after a restart, you can always do a manual update using the built-in functionality by navigating to Menu > Help > About Mozilla Firefox.
