‘Black panther’ is on the prowl THE hunt is on for a black panther spotted in Almeria. Residents of the town of Berja are sleeping with one eye open after a member of the public notified police of the presence of what could be a ‘large black panther’ in the Castala natural park. The town hall has
decided to close the park area because of the possibility of a ‘large black cat’ roaming the area. Although the first sighting of the animal was a few weeks ago, the resident did not notify the police until more recently in case they thought he was ‘crazy’.

See you all next year! THE City of Almeria bid ‘Adios’ to it’s Feria for another year with a huge firework display which took place along the promenade.
HUNTED: Big cat is at large. Agents have set up traps and night cameras in the area where the cat seems to patrol on a regular basis. They have retired from the area to leave it in peace in the hope of capturing it alive. So far a fox and an unfortunate domestic cat have been caught.
Both were released unharmed. The mayor, Antonio Torres, has himself seen the animal. He said: “I have seen it and I wouldn’t like to meet it face to face. We are probably talking about a panther that someone had as a pet and decided to let loose.”
Fire run THE Firemen of the Poniente Area of Almeria have arranged a 10 kilometre race for Sunday in Almerimar.
Long walk ELEVEN members of a Pulpi walking club took on the challenge of the 58 km ‘Hell of the Los Filabres 2013’ night walk.
Woman rescued by dinghy after falling FIREMEN and Coastguards rescued a 41-year-old-woman who suffered a sprained ankle after falling while out walking in the area of San Pedro Cove in Nijar. Emergency services received a
call from the husband of the injured lady who reported that his wife had suffered a sprain from a fall and was in an area with difficult access. Firemen and a rescue dinghy were sent to the area.
After a laborious rescue, the lady was taken by the dinghy to the port of Almeria where she was treated by a medical team before being transferred to the Torrecardenas hospital.
