Ciudad Real

Enrique Álvarez, a mechanic from Ciudad Real, has drawn attention in Spain with a stark warning about the future of private motoring. In remarks reported by OkDiario, he said people should take to the streets now, claiming otherwise 'nobody is going to have a car, like in the old days'. His comments tap into concerns over restrictions on older vehicles.

A strong storm hit central Spain, but the Medieval Festival in Ciudad Real is keeping its scheduled programme in place. Organisers confirmed the event will continue as planned despite the severe weather, and local coverage of the storm and the festival's resilience is drawing attention online.
