And a VIDEO of fishermen bringing in their catch for the tournament
And a very brief VIDEO on a paramedic helping a fellow on the street w reporter saying it was an accident involving a golf cart.
And a VIDEO of the start of the tournament
La Tertulia has a VIDEO with caption listing three women who are participating in a 21 kilometer marathon in Valladolid.
From Por Esto :
Excellent participation in the fishing tournament
Nutrida participación en torneo de pesca
In 2018, there were 78 boats participating in the Cosme Magana International Fishing Tournament, and while the number this year wasn't given, it is higher than 2018, but did not exceed the 100 boats that were in the competition a decade ago.Sand returning to North Beach
Se recupera Playa Norte
I'll translate this manana....Lots for sale where 'invasion' occurred last year
Ya están en venta lotes que intentaron invadir
Exactly one year ago, about 200 people attempted to occupy an area of nearly a hectare along the road to Garrafon, adjacent to "Isla Bonita" condos. There is now a fence at the front of property, where 20 lots are for sale, at a very high price in dollars, which are attracting interest from foreigners. Por Esto says these lots came into the possession of politicians when Mario Villanueva was governor and he had family in the municipal government. Leaders of the 'invaders' said these were public properties that had been appropriated by politicians while they were in municipal office, and should be shared with residents. The 'invaders' left peaceably after three days and one of their leaders was jailed.Blue Flag designation for North Beach could occur in June-July
Muy pronto habrá otra Blue Flag
Playa Centro obtained this honor more than five years ago, according to Por Esto, and North Beach may have already met the 33 criteria, so it could receive a Blue Flag award in June-July. (This information has already been translated.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
