Why Belgium knows Calpe better than many Spanish destinations
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-02 05:00:09Calpe’s tourism model has undergone a transformation, moving away from short-term strategies towards long-term brand building, according to Marco Bittner, the town’s Councillor for Tourism Promotion.
“For years, Calpe—like many Mediterranean destinations—relied on a transactional approach: spending public funds on all-inclusive tourist packages to fill specific hotels during peak seasons. While it provided quick returns and easily measurable metrics, it had serious limitations. It didn’t build a brand, create emotional connections with visitors, offer real added value, or address seasonality. Tourists came for price, not preference, and rarely returned out of loyalty,” Bittner explained.
From transactional tourism to strategic partnerships
Now, the focus is on partnerships that generate long-term engagement, particularly with professional cycling. Calpe has been linked with Quick-Step Soudal, one of the world’s most successful cycling teams, known as “The Wolfpack,” which boasts more than 1,000 victories in its history.
Cycling reaches audiences of over 150 million spectators across Europe, with 25% of sports fans in countries like France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy tuning in. In 2025, Quick-Step Soudal’s men’s team recorded 54 victories, including four Tour de France stages and a World Championship time trial, while the women’s team AG Insurance ' Soudal achieved 12 wins, including a Liège-Bastogne-Liège triumph and two Giro d’Italia stages.
Global visibility in key markets
The media reach is significant: the men’s Tour de France attracts 150 million viewers, while the Tour de France Femmes logs 80 million hours of viewership across 190 countries. Combined with over 200 million hours watched during the UCI World Championships, the sport offers substantial exposure in Calpe’s target markets: France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Bittner emphasised that the partnership is about building identity, not buying visitors. “Every appearance of the team’s jersey on TV, in social media posts, or specialist press articles reinforces Calpe’s positioning as a destination for sport, health, nature, and quality tourism,” he said.
Emotional connections drive repeat visits
Cycling enthusiasts visiting Calpe often do so for emotional reasons—training where Quick-Step trains—resulting in repeat visits, recommendations, and organic content creation. These visitors typically spend more, stay longer, and distribute their spending across the municipality rather than concentrating on a single hotel. Supporting this trend, 20 new cycling- and health-focused establishments have opened in Calpe in recent years.
“Calpe is evolving from a ‘sun-and-beach package holiday’ destination into a training base for one of the world’s top cycling teams,” Bittner noted. This approach also attracts sustainable tourism, specialised hotel investment, and high-quality sporting events, all generating positive international media coverage.
A long-standing partnership built on loyalty
The relationship with Quick-Step Soudal also carries historical significance. “Back in 2006, when no one was talking about Calpe as a cycling destination, Quick-Step chose us—not because of payment, but because we were the right place. Formalising this sponsorship two decades later recognises loyalty and builds a shared future,” Bittner said.
Through this partnership, Calpe gains visibility alongside global brands like Coca-Cola, Samsonite, Canon, Garmin, and Shimano, amplifying the municipality’s return across tourism, reputation, and strategic positioning in Mediterranean cycle tourism.
Building identity, not just visitors
“This is the difference between buying tourists and building a destination’s identity. It’s about projecting a sustainable future, investing in our own brand, and moving beyond intermediaries,” Bittner concluded.
EU governments want suspension powers in new US tariff deal
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-02 00:00:00BRUSSELS, Belgium: European Union governments are pushing for extra protections in the bloc's new tariff deal with the United States, seeking safeguards and a review clause to prevent a potential surge of U.S. imports from harming European industry.
The agreement reached at the end of July would see the United States apply broad 15 percent import taxes on EU goods, while the European Union lifts many of its duties on U.S. products. The deal still requires approval from the European Parliament and the 27 member states.
Envoys from EU governments agreed on a unified position on Friday, backing the removal of duties on U.S. industrial goods and the creation of tariff-free quotas for selected agricultural and seafood products.
But they also want the EU to be able to fully or partially suspend the tariff cuts if increased U.S. shipments \"cause or threaten to cause serious damage\" to European producers. The European Commission would be required to examine safeguard measures at the request of member states.
Governments are also asking the Commission to track the market impact of the tariff changes and present a report by the end of 2028, shortly after the next U.S. presidential election.
The final legislation will be shaped through negotiations between EU governments and the European Parliament. Lawmakers, who will set their position in late January, are considering similar safeguard tools, as well as an 18-month sunset clause and a mechanism to respond if Washington diverges from the agreed terms.
Parliament proposals also urge the United States to roll back the 50 percent tariffs it imposed in August on 407 steel and aluminium derivative products, including wind turbines and motorcycles. If those duties remain in place, the EU would maintain its own tariffs on equivalent U.S. goods until the issue is resolved.
China tightens scrutiny of virtual currencies amid stablecoin concerns
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-02 00:00:00BEIJING, China: China's central bank has warned of renewed activity in virtual currencies and pledged to step up enforcement against illegal crypto-related transactions, including the use of stablecoins, as regulators attempt to contain financial risks.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said crypto speculation has picked up recently due to a combination of market and external factors, creating \"new challenges\" for supervision, according to a statement released after a regulatory coordination meeting.
\"Virtual currencies do not hold the same legal status as fiat currency and cannot be used as legal tender in the market,\" the PBOC said, reiterating that business activities tied to virtual currencies are considered \"illegal financial activities.\"
Regulators singled out stablecoins as an area of growing concern, saying they fail to meet requirements for customer identification and anti-money laundering controls. The central bank warned such tokens could be used for illicit activities, including fraud, money laundering, and unauthorized cross-border fund transfers.
The PBOC said it would \"intensify efforts to combat related illegal financial activities\" in order \"to maintain economic and financial stability.\"
In October, PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng said authorities would continue cracking down on domestic virtual currency operations and speculation while closely tracking developments in overseas stablecoins.
China banned cryptocurrency trading in 2021 and has barred stablecoin issuance and related services. Hong Kong, which has a separate regulatory regime, has yet to issue any stablecoin licences.
Despite the restrictions, bitcoin mining has been quietly re-emerging in China, as small-scale and corporate miners tap inexpensive electricity and expand operations in fast-growing data centre hubs, according to miners and industry data.

Young Croatian guitarist wins prestigious Granada guitar competition
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-01 16:20:09Croatian guitarist Filip Mišković won first prize at the fortieth Andrés Segovia International Classical Guitar Competition in La Herradura on Granada province's Costa Tropical, which finished on Saturday 29 November. Mišković, 23, won 10,000 euros and a special edition \"Maestro\" concert guitar, built by La Herradura-based British luthier Stephen Hill. He posted on his website after the finale, \"A big thanks to everyone who is part of my artistic journey, especially my teacher Zoran Dukić for his guidance, and my former teachers Darko Petrinjak, Maroje Brčić and Vicko Novak, without whom I wouldn’t be where I am today. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine.\"Second prize was awarded to Vledyslav Indyk (Ukraine). The prize includes 4,000 euros and a special edition \"Double Top\" concert guitar from the Granada-based luthiers Martínez-Lázaro. According to organisers, the anniversary edition was \"notable for the jury's extremely high standards\", which led them to the decision not to award a third Prize.The awards ceremony concluded with the presentation of the Leo Brouwer prize for the best performance of the obligatory piece (Andrés Segovia's Estudio Sin Luz) and the Diego Martínez prize, awarded by the audience, which includes a trip to perform a recital at the town's 2026 Noches del Castillo Festival.The finale of the Andrés Segovia international guitar competition on 29 November SURDuring the closing ceremony, mayor of Almuñécar-La Herradura, Juan José Ruiz Joya, thanked the jury and addressed the winners: \"To Maestro Mišković and Maestro Indyk, I say that you are taking home much more than an award; you are acquiring with it the responsibility of a lineage, the commission to be ambassadors of an art and a unique artist who elevated the guitar to the stage.\"Ruiz Joya concluded, \"The town hall reaffirms its commitment to continue being the beacon where the future of the world's classical guitar is decided.\" The competition is sponsored by Spain's Ministry of Tourism and Foreign Affairs and the Andalusian regional government, among other institutions
Coup in Guinea-Bissau sees overthrow of President Embalo
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-02 00:00:00BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau: Major General Horta Inta-a was installed as the transitional president this week by Guinea-Bissau's military, a day after soldiers overthrew the civilian leadership in a swift power grab before the results of a weekend election could be announced.
President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who was ousted in the coup, arrived in Senegal aboard a special flight following the West African regional bloc's intervention, Senegal's foreign ministry said in a statement.
The self-styled \"High Military Command for the Restoration of Order\" announced in a televised statement on November 26 that they had overthrown Embalo. They said the move came in response to a destabilisation plan involving politicians and drug barons.
Inta-a made his first public appearance dressed in a military uniform at a ceremony broadcast on state television. He said the coup was necessary as \"narcotraffickers\" planned to \"capture Guinean democracy.\" The transition would last a year, he added.
He named Major General Tomas Djassi as the army chief of staff.
The coup came a day before the announcement of provisional results in the race between Embalo and Fernando Dias, a 47-year-old political newcomer who had emerged as Embalo's top challenger in the presidential vote.
Before the coup, gunfire echoed in the capital, Bissau, for about an hour near the electoral commission headquarters and presidential palace.
Embalo called French media to say he had been deposed.
Heads of state from the West African regional bloc ECOWAS also condemned the coup and later held a virtual meeting to discuss the situation, according to a post on X.
The European Union said the constitutional order should be restored and that the vote count should proceed.
Central Bissau was mostly quiet the day after the coup, with soldiers on the streets. Many residents stayed indoors, even after the overnight curfew lifted. Businesses and banks were closed.
\"I'm very concerned about the prevailing situation,\" Julio Goncalves, a 30-year-old professor and Bissau resident, said.
\"No pharmacy is open. If somebody is sick, how can they buy medicine or go to the hospital?\"
Before Inta-a's presidency was announced, Dias accused Embalo in a video statement of staging a \"false coup attempt\" to derail the election because he feared he would lose.
It was the ninth coup in West and Central Africa in five years. Guinea-Bissau is known as a notorious cocaine transport hub with a long history of military interventions in politics.
Nao Victoria ' Legendary ship of the 16th Century returns to Motril
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-01 23:22:36The unique replica of the Nao Victoria, the ship that completed the first circumnavigation of the globe between 1519 and 1522 under Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano, will dock in Motril, offering visitors a rare chance to step aboard a floating piece of maritime history.
Organised by the Fundación Nao Victoria, the vessel will be open to the public from December 3 to 8, with continuous visiting hours from 10am to 6.30pm. The ship is expected to arrive at the port on December 2, allowing onlookers to watch its glorious entrance before tours officially begin.
Meticulous accuracy full of the fever of the 16th Century
Built with meticulous historical accuracy in oak and pine for the 2004 Seville Expo, this full-scale working replica is the only one of its kind. It has itself just completed a modern circumnavigation, sailing 26,800 nautical miles across 17 countries over two years, proving the enduring seaworthiness of the original 16th-century design.
Visitors can explore the decks, quarters, and holds, discovering how the original crew of over 240 men navigated and survived one of humanity’s greatest feats of exploration. Interactive exhibits highlight the daily hardships, navigational techniques, and dramatic story of the expedition that proved the earth’s roundness and opened new trade routes.
Contrary to some earlier reports, the Nao Victoria was not a flagship of Christopher Columbus in 1492; that role belonged to the Santa María. The Nao Victoria earned its fame decades later as the only ship from Magellan’s five-vessel fleet to return to Spain in 1522, completing the historic first global voyage.
Tickets are available online at fundacionnaovictoria.org or directly at the ship. Admission is €7 for adults and visitors over 10 years old, €4 for children aged 5'10, and free for children under 5. A family pack (two adults and up to three children) costs €18.
The family-friendly cultural event, supported by local tourism authorities, brings the epic Age of Discovery to life on the Costa Tropical and is expected to draw history buffs, school groups, and the plainly curious throughout the week.
Communal paella, dancing in the streets, and community togetherness in Motril
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-01 23:54:03The La Nacla neighbourhood in Motril will be out for a party on Sunday, December 7, for its traditional fiestas in honour of Saint Nicholas, bringing the entire community together in a day packed with tradition, shared food, and lively entertainment.
The celebrations kick off at 11am with a floral offering to the saint, followed by a solemn Mass. Afterward, residents will let loose and pay tribute to a distinguished neighbour who has contributed to the life of the barrio.
The highlight of the day will be the procession of Saint Nicholas through the streets of La Nacla, where neighbours will show their deep devotion as they accompany the image of their patron saint.
Once the religious events conclude, the festive spirit will take over. From 1pm, the party begins, and the community will enjoy a disco music session accompanied by tapas, followed by a popular paella cooked collectively by residents ' a longstanding tradition that strengthens bonds among families and friends.
The afternoon will continue from 5pm with music by DJ Buta, keeping the energy high until the festivities close with the traditional raffle of a jamón.
Experience tradition and true community in Motril
For La Nacla’s residents, these fiestas are more than an event; they’re a vital thread in the neighbourhood’s social fabric, offering a break from daily routines to reconnect amid the holiday rush. They boost local morale, support small-scale traditions, and even tie into broader Motril festivities, like nearby Christmas markets. Community representatives have warmly invited everyone—locals and out-of-towners—to join, emphasising how the day “highlights our pride in the barrio and its chapel” while gathering “neighbours and friends” in a spirit of inclusivity.
These celebrations, held in a single joyful day, have become a cherished way for La Nacla residents to honour their heritage, share their pride in the neighbourhood and its historic chapel, and welcome the Christmas season together. Neighbours have extended an open invitation to everyone in Motril, including the expat community, to join them for what looks to be a warm and memorable community gathering.
Benalmádena begins work to transform image of its seafront promenade
PUBLISHED: 2025-12-01 16:35:56Benalmádena council has begun work on the installation of seven shaded areas along the Virgen del Carmen seafront promenade, between the Santa Ana and Malapesquera beaches. This project aims to create new pergolas to replace the old ones that were demolished in 2018 due to their poor state. The project is fully funded by European funds through the sustainable tourism plan, included in the recovery, transformation and resilience plan. The work, which has been awarded to the company Probisa Vías y Obras SLU, has a budget of more than 800,000 and a completion period of 150 days.Work has begun on the foundations prior to the installation of the structures themselves. The awnings will consist of five large areas (approximately 80 square metres) made up of three structures of different sizes, and two smaller areas (approximately 60 square metres) formed by two structures. They will include LED strips for night-time lighting, which can be changed to different colours via a remote management system.“With this project we are going to transform the image of our seafront promenade and respond to a long-standing demand, because many residents and visitors have been calling for new shaded areas ever since the pergolas were removed. These spaces are for people to relax while enjoying the promenade and sea views,” explained the mayor, Juan Antonio Lara. Work on these new shaded areas is taking place at the same time as another seafront project, the restoration of the iconic El Bil-Bil castle, which is also being developed with substantial European funding.
