Spain – The Land of 1000 Fiestas…
Considering
every city, town and village in Spain hosts a
yearly celebration of some kind, 1000 is an obvious gross understatement when
it comes to numbering the amount of actual Spanish Fiestas that are held each
year.
Every single day sees townsfolk somewhere in Spain,
celebrating like there’s no tomorrow, spilling out onto the streets to party as
families, as friends, with their neighbours and with total strangers, all as
part of their local yearly festivities. From new-borns to the oldest members of
their communities the Spanish people embrace a party like no other culture on
earth and the way they party has to be seen and experienced to be believed.
Most Fiestas in Spain have their history and traditions culturally entwined with paganism and religion but there are plenty of crazy, bizarre and downright unbelievable celebrations in Spain that have their basis in agriculture, the seasons, animals and other parts of everyday life. Indeed there are some festivals that not even the locals know of their true origins.
Here
is our list of the 5 most bizarre Spanish Fiestas to attend:
- The Basque Bellringing Festival – Sporting
tall pointy hats bedecked with colourful ribbons are the ‘Joaldunak’, a group
of hefty bell-rings clothed in sheepskins worn over lace petticoats with giant
cowbells strapped to their backs. These bell-ringers stomp through the town
swinging horsetails and chanting, invoking locals, many of whom are dressed up as fantastical wild beasts, to join
them on their march through the streets. This fiesta is held in the mountain
villages of Ituren and Zubieta in Navarra.
- The
Cantabrian town of Silio, in a bid to farewell winter each year, always holds
their annual La Vijanera Festival on the first Sunday of January. Here
locals dress up as trees and as a variety of other whacky characters as they
bid to ward off the cold in this seasonal extravaganza of colour and
quirkiness.
- Devils run wild in the Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia near
Burgos every mid-June as the village celebrates the Festival of El Colacho or The
Baby Jumping Festival. Meant to represent the triumph of good over evil
this festival takes place on the Sunday after the Feast of Corpus Christi.
Babies born during the previous year are laid on mattresses in the streets and
costumed men dressed as devils leap over them in a baptism of sorts believed to
absorbs the future sins of the babies, and afford them protection from disease
and misfortune. On completion of the baby jumping the infants are anointed and
sprinkled with rose petals and promptly reclaimed by their parents.
- Held on St Peters Day each year
(29th June) is the very messy Haro
Wine Fight or La Batalla Del Vino. Locals climb into the foothills of a nearby
mountain and, in a celebration of a past land dispute or of an ancient holy
pilgrimage (depending on who you ask), they promptly throw red wine all over
each other as the hillside turns blood red.

Rioja Alta, DOC La Rioja
Haro, la Rioja,
- The Fallas of Valencia sees the city’s streets lit up in an amazing
festival of fire, light and sound that runs for a week in mid-March. Local
clubs build gigantic paper mache figures representing famous or notable people,
(that they take all year to build), that they then display in the streets for a
time after which they are promptly burned to ashes in the festivities big finale. This is always one of the
biggest events held in Spain each you with millions attending the event.
The absolute best way of getting to know Spain a little
better and to briefly immerse yourself in Spanish culture is to travel around
Spain and try to discover some of these lesser known festivals for yourself. We
promise you, you’ll never forget the enriching life experiences you’ll be able
to enjoy in Spain, all the while learning a little of the language and gaining
a better understanding of a different culture and way of life.
Many people who plan on taking part in some sort of Spanish
Festivity or Celebration use reputable tour companies such as PP Travel to assist with their travel planning to Spain. PP Travel are
specialists tour group operators to La Tomatina, San Fermin and the Haro Wine
Fight and will ensure your fiesta experience is an experienced to be remembered
for a lifetime.
Hurra Por España (Hooray for
Spain)!

What is Stage 4 Mesothelioma?
Stage 4 Mesothelioma is the final stage of the Mesothelioma
disease. By the time a patient has entered Stage 4, the malignant mesothelioma
tumors have spread to different parts of the body, away from the origin of the
condition, in a process known as metastasis. Locations vary, but the cancer
tends to spread to organs such as the brain and spine, as well as the lymph
nodes.
Stage 4 Mesothelioma is difficult to treat, as there are
limited viable treatments and patients may not be suitable for surgery because
they are often too weak for invasive procedures.
While Stage 4 Mesothelioma
more often than not results in a terminal diagnosis, because of the great advancements
in palliative care, it is possible to have a good quality of life. Many patients
are able to survive for many years after being given their prognosis. Of
course, the life expectancy varies from person to person, and a patient’s
outlook normally depends on the speed at which tumors are growing and how
responsive patients are to treatments.
What are the Symptoms of Stage 4 Mesothelioma?
When a patient reaches Stage 4, it is common for the patient
to experience symptoms such as breathlessness and severe coughing. Symptoms at
Stage 4 are not isolated to the chest cavity, and other symptoms that the
patient can suffer from include shortness of breath, tightness in the chest
area, as well as night sweats and hemoptysis (coughing up blood). Other
reported symptoms include night fevers, dysphagia and pain the abdomen as well
as prolonged fatigue.
In some cases, patients can suffer from cachexia. This is
not widely known, but is a syndrome that results in weight loss and weakness,
as well as muscle atrophy and appetite loss.
Stage 4 Mesothelioma can result in a high platelet count
(thrombocytosis) and in some cases anemia.
Have You Received a Stage 4 Diagnosis?
Here are some tips…
- Try and get a second opinion from a dedicated mesothelioma
specialist - Find out if there are any clinical trials
in your local area. Eligibility varies depending on your personal circumstances. - Try and exercise as much as possible and focus
on keeping to a healthy diet. This helps with mood and can improve your quality
of life. - See if there are any support groups in your area.
- Try and seek inspiration by reading stories of
people who are living with Mesothelioma.
For more information on Mesothelioma in general, we would recommend that you visit The Asbestos Cancer Organization.

Beware of Keyloggers – This is How Hackers Crack Accounts
The supposedly big hurdle for hackers when accessing accounts such as email, Facebook, online banking and so on is the password. However, the password for digital burglars seems to be no big deal anymore. Passwords can be spied out via so-called keyloggers. A keylogger is software that records the keystrokes and thus the string of the password.

The keylogging software is installed on the PC that the attacker wants to spy on. Frequently, keyloggers are also manually installed by people from the inner circle of the victim with the intent of secret surveillance.
The Keystrokes can be sent to the hacker online for example via Email. When the sent protocol is evaluated, sensitive data and passwords from platforms, banking software or e-mail accounts can get into the hacker’s hands.
Keylogger – What is Forbidden?
The software itself is not prohibited. A user can easily download a keylogger program. However, you come in conflict with the law when the software is installed on the computer without the knowledge and consent of the PC user to perform a covert spying.
A very popular keylogger program is the the software called “Wolfeye Keylogger”. In addition to recording keystrokes, the program has functions to record the screen of the PC user.
The illegal application is not a problem for data thieves. Therefore, on the official website of the Wolfeye Keylogger, the manufacturer expressly points out that the use on other computers without the consent of the owner is prohibited: www.wolfeye.us

Protection against keyloggers
But how can a user protect himself from a keylogging program on the computer? As so often recommended, the use of a current antivirus tool is a must. Unfortunately, hackers also find backdoors here and manage to install the keylogging software on the computer despite virus scanners. The program code for the spy software may creep in unnoticed. The aforementioned Wolfeye Keylogger for example can be declared as an exception in the settings of the antivirus software and consequently no warning message is given during installation.
Password managers provide more security
Remedy could be a password manager. When using a suitable password manager, it is no longer necessary for the user to enter the password via the keyboard. The software recognizes which program or internet portal is being called up and automatically fills in the user name together with the password in the login window. This process cannot be detected by a keylogger.
Even if a password manager provides a little more security, the user should always create different passwords, so that in case of theft the hacker does not get to all accounts. In addition, a firewall can detect suspicious processes in the background that are displayed to the user.
Absolutely guaranteed security does not exist, even if very complex passwords are used together with a password manager. A procedure that is supposed to provide further security has proved its worth: the so-called two-factor authentication.
The two-factor authentication:
In this technique, the password (the 1st factor) is combined with a numerical code (the 2nd factor). The second factor, the code, is sent via SMS to the user’s mobile phone, for example. In order to perform a successful login, the first hurdle is to enter the complex password and the second hurdle, a code via SMS. This produces a very high level of security. Unfortunately, this methodology could not really prevail among the users. CMS such as WordPress, Drupal or Typo3 provide webmasters with plugins and modules to install two-factor authentication on the website.
Software producers strive to protect access with biometric data. Known among other things is the fingerprint with which a smartphone can be unlocked. Also on the face recognition is filed. Windows 10 already provides authentication of the face via the webcam with the software “Hello”.
Conclusion
Users can be more secure when using their computer by…
• Using complex passwords
• Use of a password manager
• Installing anti-virus software
• Running a firewall
• Use of two-factor authentication
