FOOD LOVER Through ticket

A CHEEKY gourmet has been arrested for the 17th time in seven months for refusing to pay for restaurant meals in Alicante.

The 50-year-old Lithuanian loves fine dining, but paying for it isn’t on his agenda.

His last feast consisted of a €30 ribeye steak, a €12 salad and four litres of sangria to fight the heatwave.

His next meal will be the prison’s menu as he will be jailed for a month and a half.

AIR Europa and Iryo have announced the launch of combined plane and train tickets in Spain from September.

The agreement will include flights connecting Spain with 33 destinations in Europe, Latin America and the USA. Flights arriving and departing from Madrid will have a high-speed train connection to 11 Spanish cities. These include Barcelona, Tarragona, Zaragoza, Cuenca, Valencia, Albacete, Alicante, Malaga, Sevilla, Cordoba and Antequera.
