Last holiday weekend Postiguet beach was chosen by Telemadrid news Showing footage of where the temperatures were highest for the Spanish to take advantage of the coast. Be careful, I’m not talking about the field of meteorological information, but about the content of Telenews, which was broadcast at two o’clock in the afternoon on December 8.
To make the headline even more contrasting, news editors split the screen. On the left is a rainy and unpleasant beach, on the right is Our Postiguet is full of tourists and some self-washing ones. “While it was cold in Galicia (in general) on the coast of Alicante, the temperatures invited people to sunbathe and swim,” the presenter said verbatim.
The anecdote is banal, I agree. But it helps us relate some details that some may not know. Like every holiday, TVE suppresses regional news: Bypasses disconnections with 17 centers that provide proximity information for 15 minutes (at 14:00 and 16:00). Also, regarding the useful topic of weather, which News News likes to touch upon so much, we must not forget that when it is the weekend and they want to contact the Valencian Community from Madrid, the editor on duty does this by going to the beach from Malvarrosa, which is closer. It is such a big beach that no matter how many holidays are taken, it always seems empty. We can see Benidorm during the week. Postiguet in Alicante is managed nationally by private companies and their agencies. On Ayuso television it is clear that the favorite beaches of Madrid residents are those in Alicante.
