☆ Spanish town to fine tourists for hogging beach spots

CNN —While tourists in Barcelona risk being squirted with water pistols, those in the town of Calpe on Spain’s Mediterranean coast face another threat: a hefty fine for reserving space on the beach for themselves. Those who do not comply with this rule face being reported, their belongings being removed and fines of €250 euros (around $270). Chairs, hammocks and umbrellas that are left unattended for more than three hours during the day may be removed, the council said. In May, there were further crackdowns on party boats and public drinking on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca. And in April, locals in the Canary Islands protested against excessive tourism, blaming visitors for pricing them out of their homes and causing environmental damage.

Alan Calpe and Christopher Crawford set out to make a shoe for gardeners. But the bulbous clogs they designed for their brand, Gardenheir, quickly found a wider audience after being introduced in 2021. The clogs ($78) were among the first items that Mr. Calpe, 46, and Mr. Crawford, 44, released after starting Gardenheir, which specializes in gardening clothing and gear. But Mr. Crawford said including a shoe among their initial products was something of a last-minute decision. “It was toward the end, and Alan said, ‘I think we should have a shoe,’” he said.
