Mother’s Day in Spain
all the love, care, and support our mothers and mother figures have given us.
The tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day on the first Sunday of May in Spain began in the 1960s when the holiday became more broadly recognised.
Like in many countries across the globe, Mother’s Day in Spain is a significant celebration, with children presenting their mothers with flowers, chocolates, and heartfelt messages. It’s a time to reflect on the sacrifices and selflessness that mothers make daily, and to acknowledge their rich contributions to our lives.
This Mother’s Day, we are taking a moment to appreciate the strength and resilience of mothers across the world. They have faced many challenges in recent years, from the Covid 19 pandemic to economic hardship. Despite these obstacles, they have continued to care for their families with unwavering love and devotion.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in Spain and across the world!
British man drowns
A 62-YEAR-OLD British man died on Saturday afternoon, April 29, at a beach in the northeast province of Girona on the Costa Brava. The incident occurred at around 1pm in the idyllic holiday resort of Calella de Palafrugell, according to a news source.
The man is believed to have gone for a swim at Sant Roc Cove and when he didn’t return, a woman alerted the emergency services. Police and medical teams were deployed to the beach location surrounded by rocks and cliffs with old fisherman’s cottages perched on top.
His body was eventually found by the emergency services. A postmortem examination will be carried out to determine the circumstances surrounding his death.
However, police sources revealed that early indications suggested that it was an accident and he tragically drowned. A local judge has reportedly taken charge of the investigation, which is already underway.
