Hello and welcome to the September edition of Soltalk . September is of course many people ’ s favourite month with hopefully slightly less heat , humidity and ... people !
Well , did the earth move for you last month ? Many said it didn ’ t just move it shook a quite a lot ! In case you missed them , the earthquakes happened late on August 12 , see our story on page 12 under the heading Granada tremors . And if that ’ s not scary enough they ’ ve discovered that an earthquake under the Mediterranean could cause a Tsunami along this coast ! However , before you start packing and heading to the hills they also say that the last time that happened was 365 AD . Probably won ’ t be this week then !
Well what a nightmare the traffic has been hasn ’ t it ? At least when thousands of tourists arrive from Málaga airport they often get a taxi or a bus , failing that they park their cars and leave them alone until the return trip to the airport . But no it seems that this year everyone drove here each day ... and then went home again ... every day ! Thus causing absolute gridlock every morning and evening . Goodness knows why we can ’ t have a park and ride system like they did for the World Music festival , that seemed to work very well . OK moan over , at least there have been plenty of people about so that is a bonus after the year we ’ ve all had .
As usual we have all our regular features and for art lovers there are not one but two art festivals to visit , one in Frigiliana ( page 35 ) and one in Competa ( page 20 )! Plus fancy a trip to Gibraltar ? See page 51 for details of the Lux Mundi trip . Enjoy September and enjoy this issue !
