Summer

The sport will be of great importance, and there will be no shortage of activities for the little ones, almost every day, during this special week. There will also be no shortage of art and cooking workshops, inflatables, puppets and clowns, goitibera and txosnas, among others.

They have been intercepted in the Zurriola and La Concha of San Sebastián, and in Bizkaia on the beach of Bakio. These animals usually reach the shore by sea currents and wind, and sometimes their bites can be dangerous. 

Live music, kalejiras, popular activities and proposals for all families will fill the streets of Vitoria-Gasteiz from 4 to 9 August in a six-day festive atmosphere.

On Saturday afternoon it was necessary to ban bathing on the beach of La Zurriola, since the "many bites" caused by the Portuguese carabelas, some of them quite serious, were counted.

The recent presence of two orcas off the coast of Lekeitio has heightened concern. We spoke with LEAKAI President Andoni Uribe, who explained how to deal with the attack on one of these marine animals.

Traffic changes will affect public transport lines and all other types of transport. Then it is recommended to consult alternative routes and plan travel in advance.

EITB has learned that the Municipal Police received a call alleging that a person had just made touches to another person, in this case the minor. A youth group prevented the identification of the alleged aggressor.

The Director of Traffic, Estibaliz Olabarri, has explained that in the midst of the Special Summer Exit and Return Operation, car traffic is growing "above expectations", although he has stressed that there have been no large queues or significant incidents. 

The 70th edition of the Getxo International Paella Competition has once again brought together thousands of people in Aixerrota to celebrate the festival that began on July 25, 1956. Zaporeak has launched a campaign for gangs to donate kilograms of rice to send them to the refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

The Tourist Stay Tax will have a general application  with special specificities (bonuses or surcharges of 100%) depending on the accommodation establishments of the municipalities and with margin of municipal autonomy.

Of the 115,000 participants, 17% are foreigners, mainly from the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Portugal, and hotel occupancy has exceeded 90% during the music festival.

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.

Beyond the big numbers, proximity weighs heavily on drawing the map of summer season goings and goings, although the Mediterranean and large urban areas retain their attractiveness.

Maximum temperatures could be around 36 degrees in the Ebro area, south of Álava, as in the centre of Navarre, and 38 degrees in the Ribera, while on the coast it will not be very hot, with temperatures around 25 degrees.

The source of this dirt is a challenge that has spread on social media and gone viral. Since the beginning of the summer, dozens of pools have been closed in the state for the same reason.
