Chestnut Festival in Castelló on Thursday was successful - Sunday in Empuriabrava

CASTELLÓ / CATALONIA / SPAIN: On Sunday, November 3rd, a flea market will take place in Castelló d'Empúries in the center. The flea market is held every first Sunday of the month throughout the year.

At the flea market, which is open from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, you can basically buy anything that is reasonably interesting and not too broken or even stolen. Of course, the goal is to build an antique market, but that's hard, and that's what sets you apart. A market for everyone is a fine thing and a wonderful pastime on a Sunday morning - if need be even after the service and before the morning pint.

If you are interested in participating, you should contact the Town Hall in Castelló or Empuriabrava. Incidentally, the market is officially called "Fira-Mercat de Brocanters"

CATALONIA / SPAIN: As the first region in Spain, Catalonia will pass a CO2 tax before the end of next year and ask motorists to pay - not too short, depending on the vehicle. Affected will be normal cars, small vans and motorcycles. Electric vehicles are of course spared. It will pay only from next year in November, but for the period 2019. This year, the upper limits are still kept quite high and only from an output of 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer taxes are due. From 2010, however, it will have to be neatly laced with emissions of 95 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Divided is the tax collection in five stages from 0 € to 127 € for 2019 and a maximum of 176 € for 2020. So who owns a larger car with appropriate emissions, will probably come in the highest class. As mentioned above, levies are always collected in November for the previous year, ie in November 2020 for the year 2019. Apparently, the Generalitat wants to collect the new taxes for the full year 2019, although the bill is expected to be passed only at the end of the year - something that is strange and will certainly raise many questions and complaints. It is expected that in 2019 it will generate revenues of around 40 million euros and for 2020 80 million euros, with around 3,600 owners ...

PERPIGNAN / CATALONIA / SPAIN:

The Town Hall of Perpignan has some time ago decreed that Catalan is the second official language in the city. The region around Perpignan, also known as Northern Catalonia, has been working closely with the areas around Girona for years and wants to expand its economic relations. This is also what Girona is aiming for and wants to become more involved in the French market, which is of interest to many companies. One thing is for sure: at the moment, the proportion of people who go to France to shop from the region here is increasing enormously. Many products from the field of building materials or fashion items are there on the one hand in a larger selection available and on the other often much cheaper. And those who know the huge supermarkets and industrial parks around Perpignan with their product diversity know what is missing (sometimes) in Catalonia.
