Fire At Garruchal Mountains

Today, another fire. This seems to have been caused, or was an oversight by burning stubble, even though at this time is forbidden to light fires. At this time, some 45 hectares have been burnt. Garruchal mountain range, is a protected area of trees and birds close to populations . The entire city of Murcia is filled with smoke and falling ash from the air.
There have been three outbreaks of fire. Two amphibious planes, four helicopters, fire crews, and even the army, have moved to control this fire. At this time, the fire is stabilized.
Hopefully it does not get worse.

La Muralla

La Muralla is a bar where you can drink coffee, spirits, soft drinks, cocktails, listening to music, inside a wall remains from XI century. It is located under Rincon de Pepe Hotel and Casino (4 stars category).
Sometimes ago I write about the old wall that surrounding the city of Murcia. There are still some remains that you can find in the basement of an italian restaurant, in a underground parking lot (under Murcia City Hall), on the street (close to Veronicas traditional market), in that bar, and in the Interpretation Centre of Santa Eulalia.

Patrullera Cazadora P78

Image: Patrullera Cazadora (patrol hunter)
This is one of the ship that it was possible to visit during last week (army week open access). It was built in 1978 and started to served to army in 1981.
The info from the official website: "The primary mission of the patrol is to maritime surveillance. Within this field, the tasks assigned may be different, such as environmental protection, monitoring fishing, combating illegal immigration and trafficking of drugs as well as maritime traffic control.
In recent times, given the increase in piracy that is occurring in parts of Africa, has also gone to conduct anti-piracy missions.
Among the operations in which it participated as corvette, it would highlight the rescue operation for victims of the floods in Alicante in October 1982 and the blockade against Iraq in the Red Sea decreed by the UN in 1991. It was in the latter where it earned the nickname "atomic ant", thanks to its incessant activity, its weapons and its peculiar silhouette. (...) In September 2004, and as patrol boat, it began to make its new primary mission maritime surveillance, continuing its participation in multinational operations in waters of Lebanon in 2008. In late 2011 it participated in the deployment in the Gulf of Guinea on anti-piracy missions."
