“We went to the front without bullets,” Mr. Almudéver recalled. “After five kilometers, a column from the Spanish Communist Party gave me five, then a colonel gave me five more. Ten bullets to fight a war!”

repair works of the seafront on Avenida de los Marineros (Playa del Cura) have been completed
A woman allegedly stabbed her partner after an argument in Torrevieja. The incident occurred at around 6.30 p.m. yesterday in a building located on Avenida Diego Ramírez. The victim was taken to the University Hospital of Torrevieja by a paramedic ambulance.
The councillor for urban services in Torrevieja, Sandra Sánchez, reports that the repair works of the seafront on Avenida de los Marineros (Playa del Cura) have been completed and that they have been carried out as a result of the gap that was opened under the promenade seafront in front of the “El Timonel” building, after various storms in February 2020 and the continuous exposure of the wall that supports the promenade.
JOSEP ALMUDEVER MATEU, the last surviving International Brigader who fought General Francisco Franco’s forces in Spain, died today at the age of 101.
He was born to Spanish parents in Marseille but returned to Spain, where he taught adult classes and read newspapers to the illiterate in his local village in Alcazar.
Soon after the fascist coup in 1936 he enlisted to join the fight to defend the Republic. Initially deemed too young, he eventually saw combat on the Aragon front, where he was wounded.
Once recovered, he used his French passport to join the International Brigades and stayed with them until they were demobilised as the war slipped away from the Republicans.
