At Trebujena’s municipal limits, a vast new solar power
station is to be built. It is hoped that it will be completed by 2017, at a
cost of 276 million euros which the solar energy company Tentusol will invest
in the project. The photovoltaic park will generate 250 megawatts and cover an area
of well over 600 hectares and consist of 90,000 solar panels. It will generate
enough electricity to power 117,000 families, and reduce CO2 emissions by
456,000 tons. Over 70 jobs will be created.
A young man from El Puerto, Cristobal Nieto, who dreamed of
going into space, has failed to pass the final test. He was one of 20 Spanish
candidates chosen for a chance of a space trip by AXE Apollo Space. At the
Space Jump test in Ibiza at the weekend, his score was just shy of what was
required. He has thanked all those who supported him, (most of El Puerto!) and will have to wait for
another chance.
Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia has organised new tutored tastings
and guided visits to their bodegas. The events will take place on Thursdays, the
11th and 25th of July; the 8th and 22nd
of August and the 5th of September. A considerable range of wines
can be tasted, and also, on the 25th July and 22nd
August, they will include their brandies, Solera Amerigo Vespucci and Solera
Gran Reserva Juan Sebastian Elcano.
There is room for 30 people, and at the wine tastings, the
price per person is (a very reasonable) 6.00 euros, while the price for the
wine and brandy tastings is 9.00 euros. To make reservations, call the bodega
on: (+34)956 852 852 or (+34)659 755 701(mobile). For more information see the
website: www.gutierrez-colosia.com.
The events are in collaboration with the town council of El Puerto and the Ruta
del Vino y Brandy del Marco de Jerez.
