Heritage bonfires<br />
ALL the political parties in<br />
<strong>Alicante</strong> City have unanimously<br />
voted to move forward<br />
with the request that<br />
Hogueras San Juan Festival<br />
be recognised as a Unesco<br />
World Heritage Site.<br />
Places and events granted<br />
this status have international<br />
legal protection and are<br />
judged to be “in the collective<br />
interests of humanity”.<br />
They may also be entitled<br />
to funds to help with the process<br />
of protecting the event,<br />
by Simon Russell<br />
so it continues for future<br />
generations.<br />
Valencia’s Fallas Festival<br />
has already been granted<br />
World Heritage Site status by<br />
Unesco, prompting <strong>Alicante</strong><br />
to also apply.<br />
There are 48 places and<br />
events with this status in<br />
Spain, ranging from cave art<br />
to the Santiago Pilgrimage<br />
and the entire city of Barcelona.<br />

ONLY half of the Spanish<br />
electorate would be willing<br />
to rent their property<br />
to any of the party political<br />
candidates standing<br />
in this Sunday’s general<br />
elections.<br />
In a slightly tongue in<br />
by Simon Russell<br />
cheek survey by rental platform<br />
Spotahome 14% of<br />
homeowners asked said they<br />
would trust acting Prime<br />
Minister Pedro Sanchez<br />
with the keys to their home,<br />
followed by Pablo Iglesias<br />
from Podemos with 12% and<br />
far right Vox leader Santiago<br />
Abascal with 11%.<br />
Emilio Renedo, CEO of<br />
Spotahome, said that the<br />
survey shows that people’s<br />
requirements are much<br />
higher for renting your<br />
house out than running the<br />
country.<br />
The company is also running<br />
a campaign in Madrid<br />
with a slogan on a London<br />
bus asking, “Who would you<br />
want to rent La Moncloa?”<br />
