€4.8 MILLION FOR IMMIGRANTS
Following recent reports (not ours) that the immigrant population in the Campo de Gibraltar has grown well above the average for the rest of Andalucía, it was announced today that those municipalities with the heaviest pressure are to receive a total of €4.8 million from the Fondo para la Acogida e Integración de Inmigrantes y el Refuerzo Educativo (something like the ‘Fund for the Support and Integration of Immigrants and Educational Reinforcement’, which means that some of it is due for our schools – hooray! – so let’s hope it gets spent there). The municipalities in the province of Cadiz to get their share of this munificence in a single payment are Algeciras, Los Barrios, Cádiz, Conil de la Frontera, Chiclana de la Frontera, Jerez de la Frontera, Jimena de la Frontera, La Línea de la Concepción, El Puerto de Santa María, Puerto Real, San Fernando and San Roque.

BULLFIGHTS IN SAN ROQUE
There is an upcoming series of bullfights in San Roque. On Wednesday 13th, El Cordobés, Francisco Rivera Ordóñez and Alfonso Romero; on the 14th, El Cid, Curro Escarcena and El Fandi; on the 15 a (less than) comical bullfight with dwarfs; on Saturday the 16th, rejoneo on horseback with David Vázquez and José Luis Cañaveral, plus a Portuguese forçada (where the bull is not killed in the ring). All start at 8pm sharp, except the dwarfs (8.30 but you probably don’t want to be there anyway). Click on picture for more information. (Thanks TioJimeno for the poster)
