Blog #Policia Local

The first two cyclists passed my house in Fuente de la Higuera at km 69 at 11.00 am having started out 2.25 hours earlier from Ronda football stadium. They were followed five minutes later by three more. Within 10 minutes a total of 10 mountain-bikers had passed by.

The "burning season" has opened in Andalucia. In order to burn garden waste, scrub and clippings you need a permit obtainable free of charge from your local town hall. ​The start date was November 1st, so I made sure I applied for my licencia in good time.

I am basically a law-abiding citizen, a democrat, who fully understands that society needs rules in order for life to function. And that therefore a police force is required. However, it’s odd that Spain needs three. Although when it comes to which force is responsible for what, the lines are somewhat blurred.
