The police are not conducting a “sexual assault investigation”, and in fact have closed the case subject to any new information being provided.

I’ve had so many enquiries about the Vino a Babor (wine to the port side) event in Las Galletas’ Marina del Sur after the enormous successes of the last two years, and now Turismo Arona has at last announced that the event will indeed return this year, on Saturday, 3 November. It will again be in the Marina del Sur in Las Galletas, and as before there’ll be wine tasting, tapas, music, cooking demonstrations, and much more, for all the family. Hopefully there’ll be another great turnout to ensure this event becomes an unmissable annual date for the diary. Entry is free.  READ MORE
