Birthday celebrations

Cafe event is for their Prime Time slot.

Back in 2006, Expo Torrevieja’s organiser, Keith Nicol, along with fellow enthusiasts Brian and David started up Club Torrevieja Classic and Specialist Cars.

Over the years many other classic car clubs and events have been formed, mainly outside of Torrevieja.

Everyone is welcome to bring along their classic, specialist, exotic, high days and holidays car, motorbikes and scooters to show at the event.

LAST week Bella (blackcrested mangabey) and Anek (Sri Lankan leopard) celebrated their birthdays in style at Rio Safari in Elche.

Their keepers prepared them themed birthday treats to celebrate the occasion.

Bella received a toy made from 13 swimming pool noodles, the type of material that was a blast for the mangabeys, Bella and Motte, and their offspring, Dowo and Mandarina, to break.

For Anek there was a delicious ice cream made with chicken broth with succulent juice, it also had extra gelatin in the shape of the number two.

Both the black ­ crested mangabeys and the Sri Lankan leopards, although they live under the care of Rio Safari Elche, belong to the European programme of management and ex ­ situ conservation of their species because, in both cases, they are in danger of extinction in their natural habitat.
