5 July 2014 - Catalunya's speed-trap numbers quadruple
national average |
|
|
|
|
Catalunya
has four times as many speed-traps as anywhere else in the
country, criticises a motoring association. Dvuelta has carried out a survey which
shows that in the north-eastern region, 855 fixed speed
cameras, 11 'mobile' ones installed in traffic ministry cars
– as well as others launched by the regional traffic service
– and at least three helicopters.
This means a total of 18.18 speed-traps
for every 1,000 kilometres of roads – up from 18.02 last
year – and 25.6 per cent of all cameras in the country are
concentrated in Catalunya. At least half of these are in the
province of Barcelona. The national average is 5.09
speed-traps per 1,000 kilometres of road, says DVuelta.
According to the survey, the Basque Country has the
second-highest concentration of speed cameras with 13.53 per
1,000 kilometres of road, or 6.7 per cent of Spain's total,
followed by Madrid and the Balearic Islands with
approximately nine or 10 cameras per 1,000 kilometres.
In effect, between Catalunya and the
Basque Country, nearly a third of all speed-traps in the
country are installed on these two regions' roads, with the
other two-thirds split between the remaining 15
autonomously-governed communities. And both of these regions have their
own traffic authorities in addition to the State's General
Directorate of Traffic (DGT).
Castilla y León and Extremadura, with
2.45 and 2.18 cameras per 1,000 kilometres have the fewest
in the country. In
comparison with Catalunya's 855, Andalucía has 128 and
Valencia has 64. |

28 November 2013 -
HIGH-SPEED train-link between Barcelona and Paris is due to
open on 15 December |
|
|
|
A HIGH-SPEED train-link between Barcelona and Paris is due
to open on Sunday, December 15 and tickets are already on
sale.
A single to the French capital from Barcelona on the new AVE
line is 170 euros, and other routes include Madrid to
Marseilles – changing trains in the Catalunya city – which
is roughly a seven-hour trek and currently costs 172 euros
one-way.
Other routes include Barcelona to Lyon, which takes five
hours and costs 114 euros for a single ticket, and Barcelona
to Toulouse, costing 77 euros one-way, taking three hours.
But discounted rates are applied to these, potentially
bringing the price down to 59 euros one-way for the
Barcelona-Paris route and 89 euros for the Madrid-Marseilles
connection.
At present, only two daily connections run between Barcelona
and the French cities, leaving at around 09.00hrs and
16.00hrs approximately from Sants station and changing in
Lyon, then returning from Paris at 07.15hrs and 14.07hrs.
A buffet car offering drinks, light meals and bar snacks,
plus bilingual staff, extra assistance for disabled
passengers and both tourist-class and first-class tickets
are available as part of the service.
This will mean 17 cities in France and Spain will be
connected by high-speed rail, thanks to other services in
different parts of each country which link up with
Barcelona, Madrid, Lyon, Paris, Toulouse, and Marseilles.
The service is operated through a joint-venture agreement
between French rail-board SNCF and the Spanish train-travel
company RENFE.
About 82 million journeys a year between France and Spain,
to and from the cities soon to be linked by rail, are
undertaken, and at present 89 per cent of those are in
privately-owned cars.
The French and Spanish governments have been working on the
rail-link for the past two years and the last few details
were fine-tuned during a meeting at the Moncloa, the Spanish
government headquarters, on Wednesday between
prime minister
Mariano Rajoy and French president François Hollande. |

23 November 2013 - Ski stations start season early thanks to
sudden onset of winter |
|
|
|
|
A COLD
wave sweeping across Spain has proven to be great news for
its ski stations – they have been able to start their season
early and are already filling up. With snow hitting the north of Spain
and areas of high altitude, some of the major resorts in the
country are looking forward to doing a roaring trade.
These include ski stations in the
Pyrénées of Huesca, in the province of Teruel – both in
Aragón – as well as Catalunya, Madrid, and Asturias, as well
as in the south of Spain – the Sierra Nevada, in Granada. Although ski resorts are hoping for a
buoyant winter in terms of profits thanks to the early
start, they still face challenges not seen in other,
better-known slopes in Europe.
In Spain, only 10 per cent of skiers
are tourists from abroad, and many of those who already live
in the country simply hit the slopes for the weekend or even
for the day. But even then, Spanish ski stations
collectively saw 4.8 million skiers last year, bringing in
net profits of 100 million, allowing them to invest 14
million on improving facilities.
The first ski station of the season to
open was Masella, in the province of Girona, with 11
kilometres of slopes and eight pistes, plus two ski-lifts in
operation – and by next weekend, the management intends to
open all 41 pistes with 49 kilometres of slopes and five
ski-lifts.
La
Molina, Girona, Baqueira-Beret (Lleida) and Vall de Núria
are all open this weekend, and on November 30, those of
Espot, Port Aine and Vallter 2000 will start their seasons.
All these
ski resorts in Catalunya will shut during the week and
reopen in time for Saturday. Ski stations in Asturias will start
their season next weekend, on Saturday, November 30 – a week
earlier than planned – provided there is enough snow by
then. The Sierra Nevada has opened its
Borreguiles and Río stations, with special offer prices for
the first week – 25 euros for adults, 10 euros for children
between five and 12, and under-fives go free.
Next weekend, the Aramón ski stations
in the northern region of Aragón will open – Formigal (Huesca
province) will start its season on Friday, November 29 and
the two others in Huesca – Panticosa, Candanchu and Cerler –
together with the Teruel province resorts of Javalambre and
Valdelinares will open up their slopes on Saturday. The Navacerrada resort in the Sierra de
Madrid, just a short drive from the capital, will also start
its season a week early and open on Saturday.
Around 200 people are currently working
in ski stations across Spain to get them ready for the start
of the season, but by the time they are open, the number of
employees is likely to be in the thousands.
Spain's neighbouring country, Andorra,
will open its two major ski resorts, Vallnord and
Grandvalira next weekend.
Whilst Spain is often overlooked by foreign tourists as a
ski destination in favour of the more-established slopes of
the French and Swiss Alpes, the Dolomites, Austria, Germany
and Bulgaria, they offer excellent quality and are among the
cheapest in Europe – with the added benefit of combining a
skiing holiday with a stay near a beach in pleasant,
springlike climates which, in Granada, Castellón and
Valencia – the nearest two coastal provinces to Teruel and
only an hour's drive – average between 15ºC and 20ºC in the
winter and higher still in March or April, with constant
sunshine. |

18 August 2013 - Highway robbery alert on the AP-7 Motorway |
|
|
|
|
POLICE
have warned that the so-called 'tyre-puncturing'
highway robbers are back and actively targeting
hired cars and those with foreign registration
plates. The
thieves' modus operandi
involves puncturing a wheel either when the car is
stationary at an airport or petrol station, or by
firing a shot at it when it is in motion then, when
the driver and passengers get out to check, offer to
help them while an accomplice sneaks into the
vehicle and relieves the occupants of their
contents.
Other variations
include stopping drivers for directions, or flashing
cars to warn them of a mechanical problem such as a
falling exhaust pipe or lights not working. Distraction
techniques mean that lightning-quick thieves can get
in the car while the driver is otherwise occupied –
even just for a matter of seconds. Around 30 per cent
of crimes on the AP-7 motorway through the Costa
Brava, Costa Dorada and past Barcelona involve
highwaymen side-tracking drivers to rob them.
Drivers and
passengers should keep all doors locked when
travelling any distance, particularly if they are in
a hired or foreign car. In the event of a
problem with the car that needs inspecting, lock the
doors immediately upon getting out and if possible,
leave at least one adult passenger in the car. Where it is
obvious that the problem cannot be resolved without
expert help, call the breakdown company without
leaving the car.
If approached at a
petrol station or supermarket, or anywhere else that
involves parking, for information, always lock the
car before responding just in case it is a hoax. Keep valuables out
of sight and check your household or travel
insurance policy to ascertain what cover it provides
for theft from vehicles, since it is rarely
cost-effective to claim for this from a motor
insurance policy.
In the event of
any suspicious activity, call the emergency hotline,
112, which can be done even where there is no signal
on most mobiles and where English-speaking operators
are available if necessary. |

30 April 2013 - Girona's Celler de Can Roca voted 'world's
best restaurant' |
|
|
|
|
A COSTA
Brava restaurant has been named the 'best in the world' by a
British magazine.
The trade journal Restaurant
calls the Celler de Can Roca, in Girona, 'the Oscar of the
gourmet world'.
During a ceremony in London's prestigious Guildhall,
brothers Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca won an award for their
family-run business. They
knocked Danish restaurant Noma off the number one spot this
year – now number two in the world, the Scandinavian eatery
hit the headlines recently after 63 diners suffered an upset
stomach on the same night due to a chef who was unwell
passing on germs through the food.
Noma's owner, René Redzepi, has been top of the list for the
past three years.
Among
the top 50 restaurants in the world, five are Spanish –
three of which are in the top 10. After
Celler de Can Roca, the Basque eateries Mugaritz and Arzak,
both in the province of Guipúzcoa, are fourth and eighth
respectively.
Until
2010 when Noma won 'world's best restaurant', top of the
list for four years was El Bulli, owned by super-chef Ferrán
Adrià, which has now closed – although Adrià is auctioning a
meal cooked by him for over 36,000 euros.
Quique Dacosta – formerly
El Poblet but now bearing the name of the chef and owner –
which is based in Dénia (Alicante) plummeted from 12th
to 26th
place this year and the Asador Etxebarri, in the province of
Vizcaya in the Basque Country, fell from 31st
to 44th. |

22 July 2012 - Raging inferno in Alt Empordà claims three
lives |
|
|
|
|
Two
wildfires in Alt Empordà (Girona) - one of which is
still burning out of control - have already claimed
three lives and devastated around 13,000 hectares of
woodland in just eight hours. The first of the two
fires broke out at about 1pm in the town of La
Jonquera (Girona), very close to the main N-II road
and the AP-7 motorway, just 500 metres from the
French border, and is burning violently southwards,
pushed on by the northerly winds.
Firefighters have asked residents of Llers, Pont de
Molins, La Jonquera, Capmany, Agullana, Biure,
Vilamadal, Sant Climent Sescebes and Masarac to stay
indoors until the flames are brought under control. Chaos
quickly ensued on the affected roads, with cars
travelling along routes almost being touched by the
flames. The AP-7 motorway and the N-II, Gi-500 and
Gi-610 main roads have been closed, causing an
almost total collapse of traffic going in and out of
France.
An
elderly person died of a heart attack in Llers after
finding themselves surrounded by flames. A
Frenchman, who was driving through the area, is in a
very serious condition in the Hospital de Vall
d'Hebron with burns to 80% of his body. Two others
have sustained minor injuries trying to fight the
fire in country house in Llers.
Witnesses say there has been widespread panic as
flames reached houses in the area. More
than 80 firefighting crews from Spain and France are
trying to control the blaze, which is currently
advancing southwards at a rate of 5km per hour,
closing in on the provincial capital, Figueres.
According to the emergency services, 4,241 homes
have been left without power.
At
around 7pm this evening, a second fire was
discovered in Portbou, and has already burned 50
hectares. It is now under control and despite being
a much smaller blaze, it has turned out to be just
as lethal as the other one.
A number
of drivers on the N-260 came off the road after
finding themselves surrounded by flames and tried to
flee down a precipice; some even threw themselves
into the sea.
This
appears to have been the case with two more people
who lost their lives today, after falling into the
sea - a 60-year-old man and his 15-year-old
daughter, who were found drowned. Another two people
are in a critical condition, five are considered to
be in a serious condition and a further 15 have
minor injuries.
At Begur
we had only a slight smell of smoke in the evening
of 22 July and there was very little or almost no downfall from the
clouds in the centre of Begur. On 23 July the smell had all gone due to the
slight wind from the east. |

21 May 2012 - Over 3,000 anti-toll protesters arrested on motorway |
|
|
 |
|
Massive
tailbacks on the AP-7 in Catalunya and Valencia were seen as
demonstrators refused to pay tolls during the second protest
so far this year. The pressure group, No Vull Pagar ('I
don't want to pay') blocked 13 toll-booths on the motorway
and caused gridlocks at the exits in Vilassar de Mar on the
C-32, and Martorell and Girona South on the AP-7. Only
around half as many non-payers were seen this time, compared
to the protest on May 1, say the toll companies, but over
3,000 motorists were arrested. As well as facing fines of
100 euros apiece, drivers will also get a bill from the toll
company, Abertis, for the unpaid tickets. Catalunya's
regional traffic authorities have received 16,000 penalty
notices for drivers who refused to pay their tolls, although
they have only processed just under 1,300 of these so far.

Important increase in traffic at Girona Airport |
|
|
 |
|
Summer arrived
today at the Girona airport
with an important increase in the number of
flights. The airport for Girona and the Costa Brava will
offer a total of 69 destinations of which 58 will be with
Ryanair and an average of 472 flights each week. Aena will
approve the new taxes for Spanish airports. If there were to
be an increase in taxes, Ryanair has said that it will
suppress many of the new routes for this summer. If however,
things continue as they are, Ryanair will fly to 58
destinations this summer from Gerona. Around 20 of the new
destinations will be regular destinations for the airline;
Ibiza and Madrid, Cagliari and Perugia (Italy), Doncaster
and Manchester (United kingdom), Cologne and Dusseldorf
(Germany), Stockholm Vasteras and Malmo (Sweden), Bydgoszcz,
Krakow and Gdansk (Poland), Poitiers (France), Aarhus
(Denmark), Nador (Morocco), Cork and Knock (Ireland), Turku
(Finland) and Salonica (Greece). |

15 March 2012 -
Girona is offering land to IKEA near the AP-7 |
|
|
 |
|
The City Council
of Girona has offered the Swedish multinational furniture
retailer that it should settle on land next to the AP-7
highway. The Town Hall could thus take advantage in front of
other suitors since Girona is a unique location in the whole
region. If the parties agree now, a brand new IKEA store in
Girona could open in 2015. |

10 January 2012 - Ryanair adds 19 new Girona routes from
March 2012 |
|
|
 |
Ryanair today
announced 19 new routes from Girona
to Aarhus, Bydgoszcz, Cagliari,
Cork, Doncaster, Dusseldorf, Gdansk,
Ibiza, Knock, Krakow, Madrid, Malmo,
Nador, Perugia, Poitiers, Skelleftea,
Stockholm, Thessaloniki and Turku
from March 2012. Ryanair’s Girona
based aircraft will grow from four
to nine for summer 2012, as its new
routes (59 in total) increase its
Girona traffic to 3m passengers
p.a., sustaining up to 3,000 jobs at
the airport and in the Girona
region.
Ryanair’s 19 new low fare Girona
routes went on sale on
www.ryanair.com as from
11 January 2012.
The above expansion of the Girona
traffic is based on an agreement
with the Girona authorities running
thru 2016.

7 August 2011 - Bad weather in July |
|
|
 |
|
The very poor
meteorological conditions last month (July) resulted in a 5
to 7 percent decline in hotel occupancy rates. Official data
are not available yet, but the first estimates suggest hotel
occupancy rates in the Girona province of around 50 percent.
The hotel industry hopes the numbers improve in August (so
far it looks good !) and that they won't be affected by bad
weather like that of July, which is recognised as one of the
coldest and rainiest months of July in recent years. |

Ryanair/Generalitat de Girona - Latest |
|
|
|
Budget
airline Ryanair announced on Tuesday
(26/07) that they plan to reduce routes from Girona Airport from 46 to 25, an
additional 21 routes. This new cut is to
be implemented in October, at the start
of the winter season, and is in response
to the lack of a competitive agreement
being reached with the Catalan
Government, company Vice President
Michael Cawley announced at a press
conference in Barcelona.
Ryanair
already announced the cancellation of 18
routes from Girona Airport in February,
reducing the number of routes from 64 to
46 and the number of weekly flights from
300 to 194. The new cuts will mean an
additional 50% reduction on the volume
of passengers (from 2.6 million to 1.3
million) scheduled to transfer via
Girona airport with the airline, and
a reduction in aircraft from six to
three.
Cawley, however,
maintained that Ryanair is still willing
to continue negotiations ahead of the
summer of 2012, and opened the door to
future recovery to levels of previous
years, when they carried up to five
million passengers, reported ABC News.
Despite the
reduction in service, Ryanair’s Girona
base will remain open until at least
March 31. Of the destinations to be
cancelled, 4 are domestic and the other
16 are international. The domestic
routes to be deleted are those between
Madrid, Alicante, Sevilla and Tenerife,
and the international routes affected
include Brussels, two in London,
Liverpool and Rome.

Ryanair/Generalitat de Girona agreement is near |
|
|
|
|
|
The Generalitat
de Girona has agreed to pay Ryanair 7,5
million €uro annually, half a year after the disagreement
between the government and Ryanair and after traffic at the
airport at Girona has declined to preoccupying levels, the
Generalitat de Girona has offered the airline company
practically the same amount as in the pre accord, plus the
possibility of charging an additional amount for each
passenger transported over the 4 milllion per year base
stipulated in the agreement. Now the signature of the
airline company remains to finalise the agreement. |

Ryanair traffic on Girona Airport is shrinking |
|
|
|
|
|
While the
agreement between the Generalitat de Girona and Ryanair
regarding the airport of Girona seems as distant as ever,
the passenger numbers are suggesting a serious concern - 41,4%
fewer passengers in Girona during the month of May and 31,1%
fewer overall during the first five month of the year 2011.
The figures also indicate that the airport in Barcelona
continues to grow, thanks to Ryanair. |

Let us hope that the use
of fireworks - which probably was the cause of the bush fire - will
take place with greater caution in the future ! |
