This past weekend saw the 'IV DH Campo de Gibraltar' downhill mountain bike competition take place on Sierra Carbonera with the Rock of Gibraltar and the Straits as its backdrop. It drew a large turn out from across Andalucia including participants from Gibraltar.
Miss Gibraltar’s 1st Princess, Kristy Torres, is currently participating at Miss International 2014 which is being held in Okinawa, Japan.
So far, Kristy and the other contestants have thoroughly enjoyed being involved in the culture and traditions of Japan. Kristy has already taken part in Japanese Traditional Dance, the National Costume Show and visited different cultural sites in Japan.
A clinic specialising in prostate diseases, and in particular screenings for cancer, was launched officially by the Health Minister Dr. Cortes, in the presence of representatives of the Prostate Cancer Support Group and Kusuma Trust, who provided funding for the project. The Minister was further joined by Andrew Sene, a consultant and Urologist at the St.Bernard’s Hospital who explained that the new state of the art equipment found in the clinic allowed for more advanced check ups.
