43 Algerian migrants including 2 babies intercepted on the coastline of Águilas and Cartagena
All the new arrivals were found to be in good health after reaching the beaches of the Costa Cálida
Two small boats carrying 43 unauthorized migrants were intercepted off the coast of the Region of Murcia on Thursday as they attempted to make the crossing from northern Africa into EU territory.
The first boat arrived at the beach of Cabo Cope just outside Águilas in the south-west of the Region at approximately 7.00 in the morning, with 23 Algerian men on board, and after being apprehended by the Guardia Civil they were taken to the area set aside for newly arrived migrants on the jetty of Escombreras.

Good evening
During the night of 5th/6th March, 1938, the largest sea battle of the Spanish Civil War took place 60 miles of the coast of Cabo de Palos, near Cartagena, one of Spain’s major ports and naval establishments.
A Nationalist battle-cruiser, ‘Baleares’ was sunk with the loss of many lives. Although part of the blockade of the Spanish Coast, two destroyers HMS Kampenfeld and HMS Boreas were dispatched to the area to render assistance and whilst doing so, they were bombed by Republican ‘planes who mistook the British ships for Nationalist ships.
