MeteOrihuela has issued a warning for the municipality of Bigastro in Alicante
indicating the early presence of processionary caterpillars over the last weekend in January
which can be potentially dangerous for dogs
are appearing earlier than usual due to rising temperatures associated with the arrival of spring
While contact with processionary caterpillars can cause irritation in non-allergic individuals
The early emergence of these caterpillars is attributed to climate change, and their presence has been noted not only in Bigastro but also on the Cruz de la Muela Trail in Orihuela
particularly those walking their pets in green areas
The Thaumetopoea pityocampa, or processionary caterpillar, is a defoliating lepidopteran species commonly found in pine forests in southern Europe
These caterpillars are covered in stinging hairs that can cause irritation in humans and pose a risk to dogs when ingested
Protective measures should be taken to avoid contact with these caterpillars during this period

Designers Antonio Campos and Adrián Segura of estudioBamBam aimed to preserve the rich structural components and stylistic traditional forms within the building
in order to transfer its historical identity to today’s functions and needs
Preserved elements include the wooden arches
The arches and the pavement are the main elements of the residence
with breathable spaces connected by a new arch
creating an interesting language between 1927 and 2022
other curved elements occupy the living area: from the hallway and access to the children’s room to the patio with incorporated outdoor cabinets and elements to support the vegetation
The original flooring of the house presents an intricate terrazzo with a unique brick red triangular pattern that alternates to create the two different design options
For the complete energetic rehabilitation of the house
it was necessary to lift off the entire original flooring
The intervention was carried out with great care to recover and reuse more than 300 well-preserved pieces to reintegrate them into the house
they were reinstalled in the form of a mosaic carpet at the foot of both sides of the arch and the access and dining room
The designers have also introduced a third tile pattern to connect the opening created by creating a new arch from the central wall structure
Part of the load-bearing wooden structure of the pipe and the plaster on the ceiling has been preserved and integrated as an element in the interior
The wooden interior and entrance doors were restored
preserving the great height of the ceiling
The blinds on the windows of the main facade were replaced
as they still serve as a sun and privacy screen
in addition to the warmth and domestic character they convey
the arch and pavement characterize the residence
The spatial proposal creates a large space for interactivity that connects the kitchen
dining room with an outdoor terrace that becomes the heart of the house
This relationship creates a coherent but not homogeneous area: each room has specific spatial conditions and can be partially independent through a large partition curtain that runs along the arcade in the central wall
and color to the house while highlighting the beauty of the two main arches
The house was decorated with white walls and sand-colored flooring
while certain key elements like the flooring
The proposal is complemented by the dark wood of the restored carpentry and the planting of the interior
The energy performance of the house also combines traditional passive strategies with current ones
By connecting and opening the living spaces and improving the spatiality and use of the house
a large cross-ventilated volume is created between the street to the north and the courtyard to the south
restored arch: the welcoming architectural element of the house
further accentuating the preserved wooden arch in the interior

ARCHIVED - Spectacular black vulture rescued at industrial estate in Alicante" style="margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; float: left" width="100%" />
A giant, disoriented black vulture, one of the largest birds of prey in the world, has been rescued in Bigastro and is now being cared for at Alicante Wildlife Recovery Centre
Bigastro Local Police received a call from a local resident reporting that a large black vulture was wandering Apatel industrial estate
Officer Efrén Pamies has plenty of experience in animal rescues
immediately offered to help try to catch the raptor safely
#Bigastro: Se trata de un hecho excepcional y poco común puesto que esta especie es el ave de mayor envergadura de la península ibérica https://t.co/wpd4IlgA2R pic.twitter.com/Gt6fdfS3ep
With the help of a blanket and protective gloves
the officer was able to calm and capture the vulture
before it was transferred initially to police headquarters and then to the wildlife recovery centre
must have become fatigued during a long flight and landed in Bigastro to rest
Black Vultures are found throughout much of southern Europe
and can grow to well over a metre in length
And the mighty raptor can weigh up to 14 kilos
making the species one of the world’s heaviest flying birds
The oldest wild black vulture on record was almost twenty-six-years-old
and they can live even longer in captivity
Last week, an eagle owl that was injured after flying into a fence in Albatera, also in the Vega Baja, was rescued by a local partridge hunter
who handed the stunning bird over to local police
