Parachuting spectacle

Army, Navy, and Guardia Civil will participate, alongside teams from eight guest countries: Germany, Austria, Qatar, Morocco, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Ko­ rea, and Turkey. Around 250 people, including organisers, judges, and competitors, are expected to attend.

The tournament will feature jumps in the morning and afternoon at three venues, two within the AGA and one in the vicinity of the former heliport of the old Los Arcos hospital. Spectators will have access to the sports field during the competition, where there will also be a small static aircraft exhibition.

THE Local Police recently encountered an interesting visitor in the district of Casillas in Murcia.

A sizable snake, identified as a Montpellier snake, had made its way into a house, sparking a mild commotion. However, there was no cause for alarm, as this particular species is not dangerous to humans. With a potential length of up to two metres, the snake certainly commanded attention. The Ecological Patrol swiftly intervened, capturing the reptile and ensuring its safe transfer to the Wildlife Recovery Centre El Valle. Such encounters are not unheard of in the region, as the same team had encountered a horseshoe whip snake in a nursery just last May!
