Lots of life EWN radio star
ON Monday, March 20, the Euro Weekly News was live on air at one of Spain’s biggest stations, TRE, to discuss the upcoming launch of its latest paper, the Costa CalidaMurcia edition.
Meeting with afternoon show host Hannah Murray at the station’s Cancelada studios, Euro Weekly News Editorial Director Sally Underwood spoke about the new paper, when it was coming out, what it would offer and how you can get a copy.
Sally explained: “People have been asking us to do this for a very long time. We know there is a huge English speaking community there and it is an under represented region.
“We will be the only weekly English language newspaper covering the region.”
Explaining why the Eu ro Weekly News is choosing to launch the Costa Calida Murcia edition now, Sally said: “It’s something we’d looked to do in 2020 but didn’t for obvious regions.
“This year it feels like the time is right for growth.
“We have a huge base of loyal clients who have been very supportive and our first edition will be 24 pages. We see that growing very quickly.”
The pair also discussed the phenomenal growth Spain has seen since the end of the pandemic, with many businesses saying 2022 was their best year ever.
Watch out for the new Costa Calida Murcia edition coming out on the streets and online on Thursday, March 30.
THERE are currently nearly 1,250 different species living in the s’Albufereta.
The latest revision of the biodiversity catalogue for the nature park shows that the number of species has increased by 403 compared to the previous study in 2012.
Animals account for the largest category with 562 different species recorded at the park, as well as 257 types of insect and 236 species of bird.
Up to 490 species of plant have also been recorded, as well as 158 types of fungus and countless bacteria, algae and other lifeforms.
The experts in charge of the study point out that although the birds are the most visible species and the one that most visitors look out for, the invertebrate populations, namely insects, crustaceans and molluscs are vital to maintain the ecosystems of wetland areas.
