Taking Off

Since January 15th 2019, the new International Airport of Region of Murcia expectations are to increase the number of passengers of the former airport.
The former Murcia-San Javier airport, finished 2018 with more than 1200000 users.
Internally, there are three Spanish routes during summer: to Asturias, Ibiza and Canary Islands. But there are European connections: Ireland, England, Belgium and Norway.

Brown Bears

22 years ago, the first brown bears arrived to Murcia.
"The first brown bears born in the city turn 21 years old. These are the descendants of the first animals of this species that arrived in the city on March 27, 1997. It was the City Council of Murcia who managed their transfer to prevent them from being slaughtered in Sobrón (Álava, North of Spain). Since then, they were part of the municipal zoo and were, subsequently, the first tenants of Terra Natura coinciding with its opening.
A year later, two babies were born from that couple, a male and a female, who are now celebrating their 21th anniversary. Their birth generated great expectation at the time and their names, Yaqui and Nuca, were chosen by the neighbors themselves through the media. In addition, there were many Murcia who visited them to meet them in the first person." Source: Terra Natura Murcia.

Working Class

At Spain, we learn a lot about the story of "The ant and the cicada". I just read that story on English languaje was translate to "The ant an the grasshoper". But the original Aesop's fable talks about a cicada. Anyway, if you want to know about this fable: "The ant and the cicada" or "The ant an the grasshoper".

Sludge Bath

Located at San Pedro del Pinatar beaches, you can pay for sludges applied for specialist in some hotels at this location, or you can do it yourself, at beaches on the right of the image.
Those sludges were deposited during centuries on the north of the big salt lagoon on Europe, Mar Menor, very suitable for therapeutic treatments as osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism, ...
"The latest analyzes carried out by the University of Murcia in 1995 reveal that these sediments contain a high percentage of cations, calcium, magnesium, potassium and fluoride, as well as anions, chloride and sulfate at much higher levels than expected, even in waters of this salinity."
