Two men under investigation after tipoff about collection that also contained bone fragments believed to be up to 5,000 years old Two men are under investigation after Spanish police discovered hundreds of archaeological artefacts as well as bone fragments believed to be up to 5,000 years old in two residential homes in the province of Alicante The investigation began in November after police were tipped off about a home in the small village of Gata de Gorgos that allegedly contained ancient skeletal remains turning up bone fragments that a local archaeologist determined to be between 4,000 and 5,000 years old In the absence of any kind of documentation to explain the collection The suspect began collaborating with police pointing them in the direction of another home in the nearby city of Dénia Inside police found 350 archaeological artefacts – from bronze age mills to parts of a Roman loom and Phoenician amphorae – as well as nearly 200 bone fragments The find was “one of the largest illegal private collections in the province of Alicante”, police said on Friday. Photos taken during the raid showed tables cluttered with bone fragments a skull perched on top of a row of notebooks as well as a terrace floor littered with delicately painted artefacts View image in fullscreenPhoenician amphorae were among the 350 archaeological artefacts InteriorThe inhabitant of the home told police he had inherited the objects after the death of a relative he did not have any type of documentation to justify the possession of the pieces nor had he done anything to regularise them,” police noted The seized objects included more than 1,000 small tiles believed to belong to ancient Roman mosaics several Roman ointments as well as an 18th-century iron grenade and cannonballs Police also found several notebooks containing handwritten notes believed to have been penned by the deceased relative documenting the exact location where the items had been found The information could help specialists in dating and assigning value to the objects as well as shed light on previously unknown archaeological sites The two men connected to the collections are under investigation and could face charges stemming from the misappropriation of goods of artistic, historical, cultural or scientific value, according to police. As their investigation gets under way, the objects are being stored at the Archaeological Museum of Dénia Today, Monday, January 16, the section between Gata de Gorgos and Dénia of the Line 9 of the TRAM from Alicante (Benidorm-Dénia) so that the entire route of this line can now be done by train The opening of this section allows the recovery of a service that is highly demanded by the different populations of the region of the Marina Alta and that it will contribute to improve the structure of the province and respond to the mobility needs of citizens The Generalitat has completed these actions in order to achieve the comprehensive renovation and modernization of this line with an investment that altogether exceeds 150 millones de euros financed in part with contributions from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund of the Valencian Community 2014.2020 (FEDER 14-20) This line partially stopped providing service in 2016 as a result of the need to undertake its modernization different sections have been opened until the arrival of the railway to Dénia is completed The technical improvements and new infrastructures as well as the incorporation of new rolling stock are aimed at maintaining and improving operating conditions guaranteeing the regularity and quality of the service with similar standards to the rest of the FGV network in Alicante Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) has carried out various technical tests on the new section and has carried out the corresponding training for the train drivers who will drive the new dual units (electric and diesel) that will serve the this stretch the users of Line 9 that connects Benidorm and Dénia must make a transfer in Teulada from the diesel trains to the new dual vehicles to continue their journey since they cannot travel to Dénia for reasons technical and accessibility the trains will run from Dénia from 5:50 a.m leaving every hour in the direction of Benidorm like those of the rest of the Alicante TRAM can benefit from the discounts currently applied by the Generalitat of 30% for all multi-trip titles and that soon will be expanded to 50% as well as free for minors up to 30 years of age The tramway has allowed the urban integration of the tracks transforming the level crossings into crossings with traffic lights and eliminating the walls that close the tracks achieving a much more permeable and urban-integrated avenue ending the division that the trenet meant when cutting Dénia at its South side These actions have favored a greater urban integration of the section through the transformation of the old railway level crossings into crossings regulated by traffic lights the conditioning works of the Dénia workshop have also been carried out in order to accommodate the new dual trains (diesel-electric) this section will come into service FGV has incorporated six dual trains (electric and diesel) manufactured by Stadler Rail Valencia at its Albuixech factory These new units will have an updated design and technical and accessibility characteristics in accordance with existing regulations and compatible with the use of state-of-the-art security greater reliability and safety are guaranteed in accordance with the standards that FGV provides on the rest of its lines What you need to do now is explain to the public how to take the train from Alicante Airport to Denia Do they correspond from the airport to Denia I am not asking for myself only but for the queues on the highway and the pollution which goes with that One question: do they allow you to travel with a bicycle (I mean take the bicycle with you on the train?) On the other hand could someone tell me if there are prohibitions to enter Dénia with diesel vehicles Communication Mitjà subsidized by the Generalitat Valenciana Customize your consent preferences

previewed the ‘gata’ chair and ‘gres’ stools by miguel and gonzalo milá at an old greenhouse in the barcelona district of sants taking several years to reach the final result with multiple prototypes and reviews subsequently the ‘gata’ chair’s name pays homage to the artisan craftsmen of gata de gorgos a small village in the province of alicante where miguel learnt how to work rattan 50 years ago according to famed spanish industrial designer the ‘gata’ chair ‘is the most difficult design I have ever done because there are thousands of chairs and many high-level producing a chair that is just a bit better in any aspect is complicated the flowing lines of ‘gata’ create a chair of organic and balanced formall images courtesy of expormim originating from a pursuit for a perfect balance between different elements, shapes and diameters of the rattan cane, and pure aesthetics, the expormim ‘gata’ provides both comfortable and resistant seating in a true form creating a handle for users to move the chair around easily the use of the cane plain and simply reflects an organic design offering exceptional functionality and longevity comfort and ergonomics always come first and immediately there comes aesthetics I have always claimed a chair remains unused most of the time the chair is the result of several years of development the ‘gres’ stools are available as a low or high edition showcasing another design with everlasting qualities miguel and gonzalo milá’s ‘gres’ stools originate from an expormim piece that dates back to 1962 tangent lines of rattan as four frames that support a cushioned seat the taller edition features a glistening metal circle halfway down the structure acting as a footrest and creating an even more supported construction the playful shapes of the four frames support the soft seat above the rattan material reflects simplicity and purity miguel (left) and gonzalo (right) milá behind the ‘gata’ chair at the exclusive preview event

are not merely places of function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style The various maps and cartographic tools of the Generalitat Valenciana and the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge indicate the municipalities with the highest risk of flooding The Sectoral Territorial Action Plan on Flood Risk Prevention in the Valencian Community (PATRICOVA) is one of these instruments The most striking data of the plan point to those related to the risks of flooding of river and pluvial origin which indicate that fourteen towns in the region are at risk of being involved in floods in the near future The maps that will be shown belong to PATRICOVA and show by color the level of flood risk of each of the municipalities Predictions aggravated by being a coastal municipality and by the context of climate change and extreme weather phenomena according to the National Flood Zone Mapping System (SNCZI) the floods in Dénia could be due to the Coll de Pous ravine Les Marines also suffer this fate in the Regatxo ravine if they have something in common El Verger Ondara and Beniarbeig is that they are all municipalities bathed by the Girona River The call zero zone of the fatal flood of 2007 that took the life of one person and destroyed thousands of houses and vehicles The PATRICOVA map indicates in pink the surroundings of the river with the highest level of danger up to almost the Vall de Laguar due to the high frequency of times this could occur and the high depth that the water could have the SNCZI points out that the l'Alberca ravine and the Portelles ravine would contribute to the high risk of flooding in El Verger Another of the transversal axes of the region that brings problems in times of heavy rains and cold drops is the Gorgos River. From its overflow, it would be Xàbia the worst stop town Although the highest danger remains in Xàbia, both Gata de Gorgos , the Llíber, Xaló, Alcalalí, Murla and Benigembla in the Valley of Pop they would be affected in most of these localities the water would remain in the vicinity so it would not cause damage to the urban areas The risk of flooding becomes higher the closer we get to the coast As the population center of Moraira which would suffer flooding due to the Les Sorts ravine and The urbanizations in the direction of Portet would be out of danger The second town south of the Marina Alta whose risk of flooding is very high is Calp Both the area of ​​Les Salines in front of La Fossa beach and part of the coastal front on Arenal-Bol beach would be the areas of greatest danger the causes of the flooding would be the Quisi and Pou Roig ravines The Special Plan for Flood Risk in the Valencian Community of the Generalitat and the Security and Emergency Agency includes a list of municipalities at risk of flooding from rivers Pedreguer It stands at Medium risk of flooding of fluvial origin due to the Barranc de la Fusta in 2022 a protective wall was built to contain the water that affects the Camí del Caragús when the ravine bed is full L'Atzúbia and the Vall d'Ebo are two other towns that this Special Plan contemplates with a medium risk of flooding of fluvial origin The first town due to the Mixel ravine and the second due to the Benisit ravine Some of the towns already mentioned such as Benirabeig Teulada and Xaló would be at this same risk While the high risk Flooding of river origin would remain in Ondara Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that on the map of Xàbia they have not indicated the entire flood zone the back part of the Arenal promenade always flooded in fact Not long ago you could see some kids carrying mattresses in the flooded area I don't know but that map doesn't seem correct to me Why are tourist developments built on floodplains what you don't like is for it to be said or talked about That's why you practice censorship with insulting and abusive comments so that we don't comment and a replica is being raffled to benefit APROSDECO and ART FOR DENT Donate via Kukumiku Foundation by March 19th to enter recently celebrated his 60th birthday with a truly unique gift: a handcrafted guitar from Guitarras Bros de Gata de Gorgos This isn't just any guitar; crafted from wood over 60 years old is a testament to the artisan's skill and the singer's enduring spirit Guitarras Bros created a replica of Robe's new guitar this replica will be raffled off to raise funds for two deserving charities: APROSDECO (Association for Mentally Deficient People of Dénia and Comarca) and ART FOR DENT (Galician Dent's Disease Association) This remarkable act of generosity highlights Robe's commitment to giving back to the community To enter the raffle for this €3,000 guitar you can make a donation of at least €5 through the Kukumiku Foundation platform The winner will be randomly selected and can either collect the guitar from Guitarras Bros in Gata de Gorgos or have it shipped (shipping costs apply) This is a fantastic opportunity to support vital charities and potentially win a one-of-a-kind piece of musical history Robe Iniesta's lasting impact extends beyond his musical career His involvement in this charity initiative underscores his dedication to social causes and his profound connection with his fans The campaign not only celebrates his milestone birthday but also serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back and supporting those in need Note: While the article mentions Andres Iniesta's retirement it is unrelated to Robe Iniesta's charity raffle This information has been included to avoid confusion and demonstrate our broad understanding of Iniesta-related news This raffle celebrates Robe Iniesta's 60th birthday and raises funds for two charities: APROSDECO and ART FOR DENT All proceeds from donations to enter the raffle go directly to supporting their important work you need to make a donation through the Kukumiku Foundation website The donation amount acts as your entry into the raffle More information and donation links will be available on their website The deadline for donations and raffle entries is March 19th Make sure to submit your donation before this date to be included in the drawing The raffle benefits APROSDECO and ART FOR DENT two organizations likely focused on social causes within Spain (given Robe Iniesta's nationality) Further information about these charities can be found online A replica of the custom guitar given to Robe Iniesta for his 60th birthday is being raffled While specific details about the guitar's make and model may not be publicly available All trademarks are the property of their respective owners All rights reserved @ 2025 Nishtya Infotech (India) Ltd
