SALT AND SEA MUSEUM REOPENS IN TORREVIEJA

The Museum of the Sea and Salt, located in Calle Patricio Pérez, has reopened its doors to the public following a muchneeded refurbishment of the facility.

It is now open every day from Tuesday to Saturday. The opening hours from Tuesday to Friday are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; On Saturdays the opening hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

On Sundays and Mondays the museum will be closed.

This refurbishment was carried out to update the image of the museum to a more modern, comprehensive and accessible centre. The premises has been completely redecorated, as well as the placement of many more information panels which have been divided into three sections: Torrevieja were rescued, there were two people dead and one missing, and although not confirmed the patrol boat and a Sasemar 305 aircraft were tasked with exploring the area in a search for the possible missing persons.

One of those floating in the water was rescued by a Maritime Rescue and taken to the Alicante-Elche airport, where he received assistance. The rest were taken to the Alicante port by the Salvamar Leo, where a team from the Red Cross was waiting to provide medical assistance.

Sources from the rescue service said that some of them could hardly move due to exhaustion. Among them, a baby and a young girl, whose condition was said to be serious, although there was no fear for their lives. Many of those rescued also had numerous injuries to their bodies, having spent the night in the water and without being able to sleep. They also spent long hours under the sun, on a day in which the heat was intense. Red Cross volunteers had to help them move from the boat to the health care point, with many of them unable to even stand up.

One of the Red Cross volunteers also said that, according to the comments of those rescued, it was the vests that allowed them to remain floating in the sea. In the case of the baby, the immigrants said that they cut a gasoline drum open to put the little one inside, using it as a lifeboat, while the others were making shadows, with their hands to protect him from the sun.

P O E T R Y C O R N E R Persecuting Society

Blessed be your soul, Blessed be your heart, Watch your flesh corrode, Ripping men apart.

The fear in the street, So murderous is their eye, Cursed be the damned, Hanging around to die.

Nothing to live for, No wife or no homes, Hippies of the suburbs, The men sit out alone.

Riots in the streets, No money or a life, The pressure on the Government, Their constituents in strife.

Politicians gamble, And lie to save their skin, Killing our society, The worlds biggest sin.
