Holy Week in Orihuela is one of the most outstanding religious and cultural spectacles in Spain. Thankfully, despite the disruption caused by the rain, just about all of the processions took place, albeit not necessarily on the day originally advertised.
We note that a lack of beach bars on the Orihuela Coast has cost the local council over 2 million euro in income and we also report on the miracle at La Fe hospital in Valancia where a surgical procedure was satisfactorily carried out to remove a cardiac tumour from a baby still in her mothers womb.
