Spain News – Greenpeace Activist of Spain Released

January 14th, 2010

The Director of Greenpeace in Spain, Juan López de Uralde, was finally freed on January 14th 2010 from the Copenhague prison where he and his supporters from the organization were being held after they were arrested. They managed to make their way into the banquet hall and brandish protest banners during a dinner hosted by the Queen of Denmark to celebrate the Copenhagen Climate Summit held in December. These activists had been rejected bail by the Danish authorities and have spent Christmas and New Years behind bars with no access to media or lawyers, in “preventive custody”.

During their 20 days of confinement the prisoners were not allowed to receive visitors. Several demostrations have been held both in Spain and in Copenhagen over the past three weeks in protest to the decision made by the Danish authorities to refuse to release them on bail.

On his release yesterday, Lopez de Uralde said that their protest had been peaceful, and made a mockery of the “excessive” response of the Danish authorities down to the fact that Danish security forces had been shamed since the Greenpeace activists had found it so easy to get past security and enter what was the Summit’s most high-profile social event, hosted by Denmark’s Head of State and attended by many world leaders.

Lopez thanked supporters for the protests and said that if it hadn’t been for the constant pressure put on the Danish authorities, he and his colleagues would have been “left to rot inside”. A small group of thirty Greenpeace members and relatives greeted the four activists with applause at the gates of the prison yesterday.

December 19th, 2009

The weather is Spain is fabulous and the temperatures are off great ideal for days on the beach.  The weather Spain is more complex as it may seem. During summer it is very hot through out Spain but during thee rest of the seasons the place is quite moderate making its environment felt.  The chances in weather are not harsh but rather mild and moderate so if you are willing to visit Spain so as to soak up the sun then the best period for your visit would be as from June to September.

Summer in Spain (June to September): the summer season is very hot in a way that the temperatures can reach to as high as 45C (45 degrees centigrade) during August.  The citizens do not grumble about the temperatures rather they head of towards the coast. The temperatures at the coast are moderate through out the year.  Therefore, if you are thinking of spending your holiday in Spain during summer then it is advisable for you to stay at the coast.  At most cases several shops would be closed for the summer and the shops will bear a sign saying ‘’Cerrado por vacaciones’ meaning that the shop closed for summer.

Autumn in Spain (September to November): During this period the temperatures are low ranging from 28 degree centigrade during the day and 18 degrees centigrade during the night.

Winter in Spain (December to Mid-March): During winter there is high altitude with temperatures averaging from 13 degrees centigrade mid-day to 4 degrees centigrade during the night.  Not all places in Spain experience snow and this would also depend on which place you at.

Spring in Spain (Mid-March to May): The temperatures are moderate during spring and the temperatures would range from 20 – 26 degrees centigrade. However, the temperatures will only tan you but not burn you.  This would be the best time to swim since the temperatures are warm enough.
