Yesterday, Friday, I bought the papers in the morning then after lunch we spent the afternoon on the beach. In the evening there was only one place to be - in front of the Tv watching Spain against Chile - a win that sees them play Portugal next in the Round of 16.
The headline in this week's Costa Blanca News focuses on what I've referred to in recent weeks - the increase in VAT from 18 to 20% on 1st July (Thursday). On food stuff and certain supplies the rate will inscrease from 7 to 8% while the VAT on essential products - bread and milk remains at 4%.
Another article draws attention to summer safety and that 4,000 extra police officers will be reinforcing security on the Costas from 1st July.
Returning to football for a moment there are a couple of articles covering promotion to La Liga of Hercules Club of Alicante and the prospect of seeing Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero on the Costa Blanca.
The Round Town News comments that the ash cloud didn't stop tourists as visitors to Spain increased bt 1.1% in May.
More next week ....if I'm not watching football!.
