For the most up-to-date information about the fire you can check: Los Angeles firefighters, aided by multiple water-dropping helicopters, were able to bring the Archer Fire in Granada Hills under control Friday hours after it started about 10:25 a.m. The fire started in the northern San Fernando Valley community and quickly grew to 31 acres, according the Los Angeles Fire Department, prompting mandatory evacuation orders. But an hour and a half later they were downgraded to warnings as multiple aircraft made water drops. No homes or structures were damage, and all evacuation orders have been lifted, according to the fire department. It's unclear how the fire started, but multiple spot fires have been started by airborne embers. © 2025 Boise State University Athletics Accessibility Statement PRESS RELEASE.

The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha each showcase unique menus offering inspired and innovative dishes while Little Miss Ha focuses on lunch and dinner The restaurants share a full-service main bar featuring craft cocktails Valentino said they also want to do wine tastings cocktail classes and other events at 36 Granada really unique things about this project here in St Augustine is this kind of yin and yang of The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha being in the same building especially in cuisine between France and Vietnam," Johnny Hudgins told the Times-Union "The thing I like about it the most is that it's not like a fusion restaurant It's not taking some French elements and some Vietnamese elements and then mixing them together They are independent restaurants that are like siblings Hudgins noted Little Miss Ha "is more verdant and feminine and Asian instead of having like a fusion experience you come and have independent experiences," Hudgins said adding that guests can eat at one restaurant for breakfast or lunch and the other for dinner we give them multiple opportunities to come back and try some of our experiences." Augustine menu expands to dinner serviceThe French Pantry has been a Jacksonville dining destination for decades was established in 1995 by Tim and Barbara Felver Valentino bought the iconic restaurant known for its lunch-only menu of sandwiches panini and bruschetta — all made with freshly baked bread from the large commercial bakery housed in the Powers Avenue building The French Pantry is also popular for its gourmet salads and decadent desserts such as Wedding Cake 36 Granada will see the restaurant expand its menu to a light French-style breakfast and full dinner service But the Jacksonville location will remain lunch only He said the new restaurant will offer signature dishes such as Filet au Poivre French Pantry desserts will be a mainstay on the menu The restaurant will also offer raw bar items Little Miss Ha offers a menu inspired by family recipes "It's really authentic to Vietnamese cuisine It's a little more elevated but still comfortable," Janice said of their menu The restaurant pays homage to Janice’s mother who brought her family recipes from Vietnam to Charleston She was affectionately known as "Miss Ha" by co-workers and customers at the old Piggly Wiggly grocery where she worked which ultimately became a staple in the store's deli case her mom worked two jobs but always cooked the meals for her and her three brothers but it wasn't until she had her own four children that her mom began teaching her their family recipes — none of which were written down Janice said her most requested cuisine was "Mommy Food" — a phrase coined by her college roommates for the care packages of food Janice received from her mom "Everybody always wanted my mom's food," she said her mom and brothers in 2012 to start doing pop-ups in Charleston featuring their Vietnamese homemade comfort food I was there to help out and to help roll spring rolls was really the star of the show," she said of those days the Hudgins launched the original Little Miss Ha restaurant in Mount Pleasant the couple had established a solid following in the community via cooking private dinners catering events and fine-tuning their menu at Charleston's Workshop food hall The Hudgins' closed the Mount Pleasant restaurant in October 2023 when its lease expired Augustine and team up with Valentino to establish 36 Granada and I really wanted to elevate Vietnamese cuisine and make it a little more modern and elegant," she said Janice said some of Little Miss Ha's signature dishes reflect her mom's cooking Imperial Rolls: Crispy rolls with seasoned pork shredded veggies and noodles served with nuoc cham sauceShaking Beef (Bò lúc lắc): Features wok-fried filet mignonTamarind Ribs: Sweet and tangy ribs served with pickled okraYellow Curry: Coconut lemongrass curry with sweet potatoes and served with jasmine riceFrench Pantry desserts will be available at Little Miss Ha Both The French Pantry and Little Miss Ha will offer gluten-free and vegetarian options at The French Pantry will be about $30 to $50 per person It will be about $25 to $35 at Little Miss Ha Janice Hudgins will lead the cooking classes The classes are designed to appeal to residents as well as tourists It's "a great way to introduce people" to the cuisine "Cooking classes are a great thing to do when you are out in a new place," her husband noted what else can we add to the community here from the tourist standpoint and being able to offer cooking classes to both residents and tourists seemed like a great opportunity." Janice Hudgins previously taught Vietnamese cooking classes with their original Little Miss Ha in Mount Pleasant is tucked away toward the back of the restaurant It has three doors: one each to The French Pantry Valentino said they anticipate Cache-Cache will be popular with wedding parties looking for rehearsal dinners New restaurant in century-old house: Southern Grounds restores, revitalizes century-old St. Augustine house for new restaurant Restaurants: What's new or coming soon to St. Johns, St. Augustine in 2025 Augustine City Hall and the Lightner Museum at the southern end of the city’s Historic District Valentino said construction to renovate the building began in August 2023 The work included raising the floor about 4 1/2 feet as a precaution against flooding Reservations are recommended at the restaurants that have a combined total of about 200 seats offering counter-service breakfast from 7 a.m He said a limited bar food menu will be available between 3:30 p.m Dinner service will continue until 9:30 p.m daily with similar operating hours as The French Pantry Typically, a hotel is just a place to rest your head at night — somewhere you’re happy to leave behind to explore the city. However, Spain’s Melia Granada proves there are some properties that can enrich your visit to a new destination Melia Granada reopened in March 2024 after a $15.4 million renovation and investment The 181-room property is located in Granada’s city center on Calle Angel Ganivet well within walking distance to the Granada Cathedral and the charming neighborhood of Realejo When I checked into my sixth-floor room, I had my first glimpse of one of Spain’s most beautiful cities. The hotel’s top floor features a glass-paneled lounge with wondrous views of Granada — the last Moorish state in Spain before it was captured by Catholic monarchs in 1492 from where I stood in Melia Granada with a glass of champagne in hand the famed palace and fortress complex that housed the Moorish kings overlooking a valley of whitewashed homes with red roof tiles the premium room tier for Melia Hotels that offers private check-in a welcome gift and access to private spaces I was ushered past the stylish deep-green lobby to the elevator and up to the exclusive Level Lounge which provides free breakfast and delicious snacks and drinks every day of a client’s stay (Considering it can cost just $20 to $30 more per night for a Level Room I believe it’s well-worth the investment to upgrade.)  The Lounge quickly became an important element of my trip I watched the sun rise over the mountains and admired the rooftops of Granada while eating breakfast on the space’s outdoor terrace I found myself returning there to relax with a glass of wine by the stylish fireplace marveling over the fact that I was in Granada witnessing flamenco dance performances and walking along the historic Paseo de los Tristes Granada vibrated within the glass walls of the Lounge every moment I stepped in The lounge’s elevated decor and warm atmosphere echoes among the property's elegant rooms natural tones and allusions to Andalusia’s rich tile history in art pieces or coffee table books All rooms have in-room coffee and tea service a television with Chromecast capability and a choice of fiber but I couldn’t miss a chance to eat at Ola 1971 the on-site seafood restaurant where I gorged on a variety of seafood bites and paella in a bright and breezy space which starts the day off with a breakfast buffet then evolves into a restaurant serving international food Italian cuisine features prominently on the menu — which makes sense considering the grand pizza oven in the kitchen Though I’ve visited many cities across Spain Granada has become one of my favorite cities in the country — and all of Europe which gave me the perfect space to rest and the opportunity to feel like I was part of the city Copyright © 2025 Northstar Travel Media, LLC.

life — not just for traditional dancers and singers but also for hip-hop stars classical guitar legends and street artists This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK).It’s almost sunset and the hilltop cave quarter of Sacromonte is just beginning to stir which has been smothering Granada all day like a weighted blanket has begun to lift; the heady scent of wisteria hangs on the breeze and the shaded plazas echo with the meowing of cats and the shouts of playing children another sound filters in — the plucking of a classical guitar coming from the open door of a hillside home “Sacromonte has a magic of its own,” says guitarist Pepe Romero when I meet him inside “It was here in the mountains that the Romani people settled Sacromonte was one of the hotspots where flamenco was born is one of several celebrated flamenco tablaos (venues) in Granada.Photograph by David CharbitEveryone is welcome to have a go at the nuevo flamenco the movement aimed to modernise the dance.Photograph by David CharbitToday charismatic 80-year-old — is one of the world’s most famous classical guitarists his musical journey owes its origins to Granada after he was captivated by hearing his father playing Francisco Tárrega’s famous guitar piece the Alhambra itself — Granada’s famed Moorish-Christian palace an architectural masterpiece — sits framed beyond Pepe’s balcony rose gold and ferrous red in the quickening sunset Pepe’s earliest albums in the late 1950s and early 1960s were flamenco records “I’ve always been in love with flamenco,” he says “Its spirit is what we call duende: something like divine inspiration but not religious — the divinity of all humanity (From carnival to cathedrals: the inside guide to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the charismatic capital city) I climb further up the hill to see duende in action at Cueva de la Rocío a flamenco venue in a complex of rock-cut caves I’m ushered into a tunnel-like room with a barrel ceiling that’s dimly lit by purple light its rough walls hung with brass cooking pots and family photos singer and guitarist occupy the stage at the end delivering impassioned songs interspersed with shouts of “Ay!” — the exclamation known as the quejío a female dancer in a polka-dot dress improvises a captivating dance her fingers either clicking rhythmically or clenched in defiant fists her heels sending up a firecracker chorus of percussive taps from the polished floor The spirit of flamenco infuses the artistic life and collective imagination of all of Granada The labyrinthine alleyways of the Albaicín house darkly atmospheric clubs like Eshavira where instrumentalists and singers improvise new fusions of flamenco and jazz in real time while flamenco-inflected rock bands like Los Planetas have helped bestow on Granada the crown of indie capital of Spain Flamenco’s hold on Granada transcends even the world of music and can be found in some of the most unexpected places centuries-old district south of Sacromonte that was once home to Granada’s Jewish community a striking mural shows a dark-haired woman with hooped earrings Her forehead is marked with a bindi — a reference to the origins of the Romani in northern India like the many others that brighten the elegantly fading buildings in Realejo aka El Niño de las Pinturas (‘The Boy of the Paintings’) — Granada’s most celebrated street artist I meet Raúl around the corner from the mural in his studio where every surface is covered in flecks of paint — from the boombox pumping out house tunes “Flamenco and street art share a lot spiritually,” he says between puffs on a roll-up cigarette “Even though graffiti came from street culture in the US there’s a lot in common between hip-hop and flamenco and emulates percussive flamenco guitar by rapping his hands against his knees Breakdancing in the Bronx and the Romanis dancing in Sacromonte — it’s not so different.” (Spend the perfect day in Granada with our guide to the city.) “The sounds complement each other, but so do their origins,” Vicente says. “Working classes, poverty, struggle — flamenco and hip-hop are from different countries, but their sentiments are the same.” They’re not the only ones in Granada merging the two genres, and Vicente says that the profusion of flamenco through all aspects of city life is partly responsible. ”The influence of flamenco is everywhere in Granada,” he says. “Music, painting, poetry, cinema — everywhere.” Then there’s the local accent. Andalucian Spanish is particularly suited to rap: it’s pleasingly sibilant, and the tendency to chop the ends off words creates a consonant-rich cadence that clicks like castanets. More than anything, for these rap stars — just as for the gitanos of Sacromonte in centuries past — flamenco is a wellspring for the downtrodden, of love, passion and revenge. And duende, of course, which Pepe says is a state of being for Granadinos. “You can feel the duende anytime — it doesn’t matter if you’re practising karate or making a coffee,” he says. “Flamenco is a frame of mind.” In a gripping Liga F encounter at Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes Super Falcons star Edna Imade delivered a crucial equalizer for Granada CF Femenino in their 1-2 defeat to Real Madrid Femenino Edna Imade Scores as Granada Stages Thrilling Comeback to Beat Deportivo Edna Imade scored her 13th goal in Liga F for Granada in 2-0 win against Sevilla Real Madrid struck first in the 11th minute with Scottish midfielder Caroline Weir showcasing her class Super Falcons of Nigeria hopeful Edna Imade equalized for the hosts PAY ATTENTION: Check out Bet Of The Day page - we provide expert tips which already included strikes in six consecutive matches earlier in the year Real Madrid’s quality shone through in the final stages Colombian star Linda Caicedo grabbed a late winner for the visitors Imade now has 15 goals in the league this season and is second in the scoring charts behind Barcelona's Ewa Pajor with 21 Former champion has hailed Evra ahead of his MMA debut Paris Saint-Germain's top scoring forward is a doubt for the Champions League semi-final second leg clash against Arsenal FIFA has relegated one African club over match-fixing allegations Time and where to watch Nigeria's Efe Ajagba take on Congo's Martin Bakole in a fight for African boxing king Time and where to watch Flying Eagles of Nigeria's 2nd U20 AFCON group game against Young Atlas Lions of Morocco Former England player who rejected the chance to represent the Nigerian national team now wants to replace Eric Chelle See what fans are saying about the robbery of Nigerian boxer Efe Ajagba against Congolese star Martin Bakole as Battle of Africa ends in a draw Artificial intelligence weighs in on the speculations surrounding Victor Osimhen's future Check out time and where to watch Nigeria's Flying Eagles final U-20 AFCON group game against Kenya Bruno Fernandes is attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal said to have him in their summer plans Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly mulling over possibly staying at Galatasaray for one more season Lamine Yamal earned high praise from Inter Milan defender Alessandro Former Super Eagles defender Taye Taiwo has advised Inter Milan on what they need to do to defeat Barcelona on Tuesday Ex-Besiktas midfielder Sinan Engin claims that Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has treated Victor Osimhen unfairly Arsenal Wenger previewed Arsenal's upcoming UCL second leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes Ahmed Musa will captain the Nigeria Super Eagles at the Unity Cup in London later this month leading the team against Ghana and other nations Arsenal celebrate 26 years since Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu’s unforgettable solo goal against Tottenham in the 1999 North London Derby A former Fenerbahce player has urged the team to sack Jose Mourinho Athletics great Usain Bolt arranged a front three of GOATS here is everything to know about Trent Alexander-Arnold's life and career After serving an entertaining goal-fest in the first leg Inter and Barcelona will go head-to-head at San Siro to book a place in the Champions League final With Trent Alexander-Arnold departing Liverpool is he the Premier League's greatest full-back of all time Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold announced his departure from the Reds today which has led to a lot of reactions on social media Ohio — Residents at Granada Gardens in Warrensville Heights told News 5 they are fed up with their living conditions after showing us pictures and videos of black mold and piles of trash overflowing in several dumpsters and hallways at the apartment complex “I got pictures of everything,” said Gladys Jackson “My water broke in my apartment in December there’s a call for transparency and accountability “We’d like to see everything fixed and we’d like to see management be held accountable,” said Thomas Bricker the vice president of Granada Gardens Tenants Association News 5 met up with some of those tenants who shared their concerns with us RELATED: Warrensville Heights tenants protest at city hall over poor apartment living conditions Back in November 2023, News 5 learned of a mouse infestation, water leaks and squatters sleeping in the common areas, so we showed up at their protest outside Warrensville Heights City Hall, which eventually led to improvements after management told us they would invest $5 million to fix the place up. But people like Louis Brownlowe said the situation is getting worse again, and he said he’s afraid things won’t improve after a recent court order reinstated the previous landlord. “Since the old company took back over again, there’s just no work that’s being executed,” said Brownlowe. News 5 tried calling the apartment’s front desk and the leasing line and also searched an online database for any contact information for Granada Apartments LTD, but we couldn’t get anyone on the phone. In the meantime, Senior Attorney Catherine Donnelly said they will continue to find legal solutions to help the Granada Gardens Tenant Association. “Not every solution is going to be a legal solution, but we’ve been trying to come up with legal solutions to support their advocacy for improving the conditions,” said Donnelly. News 5 did receive an email from the leasing office to let us know our message has been forwarded to one of their leasing professionals and we should expect a response to our request very soon.

The Flamenco Festival New York (FFNY) returns with its 24th edition March 5-15, 2025, bringing the rich cultural heritage of Granada to the forefront. This year’s festival, the largest flamenco event in New York features over 70 artists and technicians across 15 renowned venues A highlight of this year’s festival is its tribute to Federico García Lorca who visited New York in 1929 and later penned Poeta en Nueva York a poetic critique of capitalism and social injustice The festival honors his literary legacy while showcasing Granada’s vibrant flamenco scene spanning traditional to experimental styles Performers include celebrated artists such as cantaor Kiki Morente this edition introduces other performing arts disciplines Zen del Sur will present a flamenco-circus fusion while Repertorio Español stages La Casa de Bernarda Alba Additional events include a Cajoneada in the Bronx a symposium on Lorca and the Harlem Renaissance Cante Jondo: Granada 1922 (2023) and Sacromonte los sabios de la tribu (2014) will feature post-screening discussions with Eva Yerbabuena and Marina Heredia FFNY will transform New York into a hub of flamenco artistry bridging history and contemporary innovation More information at flamencofestival.org Please enter an answer in digits:17 − ten = A Granada fan who racially abused former Cádiz defender Carlos Akapo during a LaLiga game three years ago has been given a one-year prison sentence by a Spanish court The court in Granada also handed the supporter a 14-month stadium ban prison sentences of less than two years for non-physically violent crimes rarely require a defendant without previous convictions to serve jail time so he is likely to remain free unless he commits further offences The abuse of Akapo occurred during Cádiz's goalless league draw against Granada at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium in February 2022 The fan was caught on camera directing monkey gestures at the Equatorial Guinea international who was playing for Cádiz at the time of the incident Carlos Akapo in action for Cádiz against Granada in February 2022. Ãlex Cámara/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesLaLiga, who reported the incident to the authorities at the time "LALIGA has received notification of the sentence against the fan who hurled racist insults at player Carlos Akapo during the Granada v Cádiz CF on Feb. 28, 2022," LaLiga wrote on X "The sentence condemns the accused to one year in prison and a 14-month ban from stadiums This closes one of the oldest cases of racist incidents that LALIGA is fighting to eradicate hatred in football." Akapo, who is now on the books of Brazilian club Amazonas FC, applauded the ruling on Instagram while Cádiz also welcomed the verdict "Cádiz CF is pleased with this news and will continue to ensure the safety and integrity of its members both on and off the playing fields, defending the values of integrity and equality that must prevail in today's society," a club statement said.

A great place to try it close to the Alhambra is the aptly named I Need Coffee – a cozy space with limited seating ideal for fueling up for the uphill trek to the Alhambra entrance gate While you’ll be given a specific time slot for your entry to the Nasrid Palaces, the other two areas can be explored at your leisure. I recommend saving the ornate beauty and fountain-filled patios of the Nasrid Palaces for last, and starting at the Alcazaba, the monument’s oldest section. Tickets can often sell out a month or more in advance, so book as early as possible. Use only the official ticketing site to make your purchase and don’t forget to bring your passport with you for entry a classic feature of Mudéjar (Moorish) architecture located closer to the teahouse’s namesake museum whose fantastic €65 tasting menu showcases traditional Andalusian fare Dinner: Keep the Lorca theme rolling with dinner at Chikito on Plaza del Campillo There’s a statue of Lorca at work at one corner table – commemorating the fact that he and a group of intellectuals known as El Rinconcillo met in this building in the 1920s For a popular traditional dish that they probably ate in those days Barça were taking no prisoners on Saturday against Granada they made it four wins out of four with a superlative display of attacking football on a day that captain Marta Torrejón was honoured on her 20th year in the elite of Spanish women's football The game itself got off to the perfect start when Ewa Pajor netted her third goal of the season after just two minutes it would not be until the 35th minute that they extended their lead when Marta's corner was volleyed home by Alexia the goals would eventually start raining down Graham started her own particular show when a penalty on her was converted by Alexia and then her shot was turned goalward by an opposing defender before the Norwegian laid on the assist for Pajor to make it 5-0 Within the space of little more than ten minutes Keira Walsh had a goal disallowed for offside before former blaugrana Ornella scored a lovely consolation goal for the visitors Fridolina Rolfö added her name to the list with a brilliant solo goal Graham Hansen finally got her own name on the scoresheet off an Aitana assist and then Ewa Pajor completed her first hat-trick for the club scored a screamer on 78 minutes and a penalty on Kika was converted by Alexia deep into injury time 2025 at 12:36 pm PT.css-79elbk{position:relative;}The blaze in the 17200 block of West Sesnon Boulevard in the Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area near O'Melveny Park CA —A small brush fire broke out Granada Hills and quickly prompted evacuations but crews were able to stop the fire's forward progress at 31-acres in the 17200 block of West Sesnon Boulevard in the Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area near O'Melveny Park burning in medium brush under erratic winds said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart An immediate mandatory evacuation was issued but then quickly downgraded to a warning and the LAFD has lifted the earlier evacuation warning The order was issued for residents at Balboa Boulevard and Interstate 5 on the east Sesnon on the south and Sunshine Canyon Road on the north said the Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters on the ground and in the air were able to tackle the Archer Fire quickly Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.
