Spain: Football transfers and regional summer festivals

Several regional and sporting events are taking place across Spain. In the football sector, Osasuna is negotiating the transfer of winger Iker Benito to Querétaro in Mexico, though Cádiz CF also maintains interest in the 24-year-old. Osasuna's recent preseason performance included a 2-0 loss to Al-Ain.

Cultural festivities are underway in various cities. Donostia (San Sebastián) has launched its 'Semana Grande' with a traditional cannon blast despite threatening weather. In Gijón, the 'Semana Grande' is seeing a surge in tourism, particularly from French and Dutch visitors. Meanwhile, the town of Astrabudua in Erandio is celebrating its San Lorenzo festivities, highlighted by a large-scale marmitako cooking competition.

In Navarra, a volunteer project titled 'Fronteras de Hormigón' is working to recover and document Franco-era bunkers in the Pyrenees, including the cleaning of vegetation and the cataloging of inscriptions found within the structures.
