May 25 to 27 will see the 10th Primavera Sound Festival take place in Barcelona this year.They will have the Pet Shop Boys,Marc Almond,Gary Numan,Lee Scratch Perry and the Fall ( this is a group that is ever changing but still as relevant today as they were ten years ago).

This event is less mainstream than the Benicassim Festival but what the barcelona festival is able to do is look for all of those cutting edge bands out there that are the sounds of tomorrow.The bands can be challenging and also exciting.For example they have Jeffrey Lewis who graduated from the State University of new York with a degree in literature .He did his thesis on the comic Watchman.He is now a comic book writer and also a recording artist.He produces autobiographical works in both genres.

The festival have two of the 80´s and 90´s cult bands The Pixies and Pavement.These two alone will give those attending the idea of what this festival is all about.There will be around 100 bands .There will also be many other bands playing in and around Barcelona.This is a festival which appeals to the eclectic tastes of those who love music in all of its forms.There is no camp site so visitors will need accommodation.The music starts early in the evening and goes on untl morning ,not leaving much time for sleep.o

The time has arrived for those processionary caterpillars in Alicante province.Town Halls all over the province are alerting everyone to be on the look out for them.This year there has been an increase in the number of nests to be seen in the pine trees.There was a major project last summer to kill the eggs in the trees but the numbers have still increased.possibly due to resistance to the insecticides.It is possibly the interludes of mild wet weather which has caused the problem.

These caterpillars can be extremely dangerous to pets,even causing death if the allergic reaction isn´t treated quickly.In rural areas the most effective way of dealing with the problem is spraying from the air but for most councils this is too costly and is seldom carried out.Insecticides transmitted in this way can also be highly dangerous to humans and livestock.

However these animals are very hazardous to people and their pets so the councils do need to come up with a solution of some sort.

Balearia the Denia based ferry company is studying plans to see if it can operate out of Alicante and provide new routes to Africa and Italy.They feel that these are options well worth exploring.The company feels that Alicante port is strategically a very important and attractive port of economic interest to the company.

If the company were to operate out of Alicante it would not run a service to Ibiza because the current service out of denia is more efficient and covers the demand for transport to the island.One of the main objectives is to develop routes to Italy which do not exist at the moment.They want to expand the services to North Africa which at the moment is only served by two routes.

The company is also planning to increase its commercial transport links with Alicante and is considering a route to the canary islands too.Negotiations are taking place but it isn´t known just when all of this might happen.
