Eurodipity: Celebair Benidorm

We (Eurodipity) read in Europapress, that the television network ITV, one of those of greater hearing in the United Kingdom, has surrendered to the evidence. After the news articles on located citizen insecurity and wild urbanism in the province of Alicante, the channel has returned to ingratiate itself with one of its main reclamations: the tourist locality of Benidorm.

As we can know in Eurodipity, the latest that ITV has located in their grill is “reality” - “Celebair” - in which eleven famous ones realise the functions of flight assistants in real passages. The “celebrities”, before entering the contest, realise a training of six weeks like which it confronts a real one. Its functions: the earth invoicing and the own workings of the rest of the crew.

The main argument is the adventures of the “tourists” who go every year to Benidorm, among other things, to benefit from the currency change. We can say in Eurodipity, that the most outstanding elements in the series, obvious, are the sun, the beach, the alcohol and, of course, the bulls. British chain ITV, after its attacks to the tourist model of Benidorm, locates the Altet (airport) as destiny in “reality” where famous.

Eurodipity: Ice cream to bears in Alicante

A funny news we can read in Eurodipity: Ice creams, ponches of fruits and rains with sprinklers are some of the measures that the welcome centers and zoological parks of Alicante have devised to fight the high temperatures that undergo the animal in their facilities, a confronted summery battle with creativity and taken care of much.

This animals that were found in an industrial estate of Vigo and which they will be reintroduced to natural means in reserves of the north of Europe, support the high temperatures with icy patches, floods of "soprises" , that they are deposited in the caves of the facilities of Benimantell where they inhabit the bears, has indicated Doménech. "They embrace to the ice bars, trying to eat the fruits that we have introduced in its interior, and thus are better" , it has detailed.

As we can know in this Eurodipity, this ice cream for bears of almost an average meter and of height fills up with a kilogram of big holes, sweet strawberries or other fruits, and remains without melting near six hours. Another one " invento" that Doménech has put at the disposal of these mammals is an ice ball with holes, in whose interior the food is located.

Shadow zones, vaporized water apparatuses abiertos, pools, facilities with material of "termoarcilla", showers with hose and spaces to take a walk are the resources more used by zoological and the centers of welcome, but the own animal have their natural mechanisms to defend themselves of the shame.

We think in Eurodipity that is a good idea!
