Mauno Henrik Koivisto [ˈmɑuno ˈhenrik ˈkoiʋisto] (born November 25, 1923) is a Finnish politician who served as the ninth President of Finland from 1982 to 1994. He also served as Prime Minister 1968–1970 and 1979–1982.[2] He was the first Social Democrat to be elected as President.
Early life[edit]
Koivisto was born in Turku, Finland, the second son of Juho Koivisto, a carpenter at Crichton-Vulcan shipyard, and Hymni Sofia Eskola, who died when he was 10. After attending primary school, Koivisto had a number of jobs, and at the beginning of the Winter War in 1939, when he was 16, he joined a field firefighting unit. During the Continuation War, Koivisto served in the Infantry Detachment Törni, led by the famous Lauri Törni, which was a reconnaissance detachment operating behind the enemy lines and open to selected volunteers only.[3] During the war he received the Order of the Cross of Liberty (2nd class) and was promoted to the rank of corporal. He later referred to his experiences during the war by stating "When you have taken part in a game in which your own life is at stake, all other games are small after that experience".[4]
After the war, he earned a living as a carpenter and became active in politics, joining the Social Democratic party. In autumn 1948, he obtained a job at Turku harbour, and in December of the same year, he was appointed manager of the Harbour Labour Office of Turku, a post he held until 1951. In 1949, trade unions controlled by the communists attempted to topple Karl-August Fagerholm's Social Democrat minority government, and the Social Democratic leadership of the Finnish Confederation of Trade Unions (SAK) declared the port of Hanko an "open site", urging port workers who supported legality to go to Hanko. Koivisto moved there to take charge of the harbour-master's office and recruit workers (break the strike), the government having banned strike action. The Communist newspapers branded him as their Enemy No.1 as Koivisto was a key figure in the struggle for control of the trade unions.
Banker and politician[edit]
In addition to his political activities and his working for a living, Koivisto returned to education, passing his intermediate examination in 1947 and his university entrance examination in 1949. In 1951 he became a primary school teacher and in 1952 he married Taimi Kankaanranta (born 1930) (they have a daughter, Assi Koivisto, born 1957, who was selected to a member of the electoral college of the Finnish presidential election in 1982). During this period, Koivisto also finished his studies, graduating from the University of Turku with a Master of Arts degree and a Licentiate in 1953, intending to become a sociologist. Three years later he completed his doctoral thesis about social relations in the Turku dockyards. Koivisto also served as a Vocational Counselor of the City of Turku, and as a member of Turku City Council.
In 1957, he became a banker with the Helsinki Workers' Savings Bank, serving as General Manager from 1959 to 1968. In 1968 he was appointed as Chairman of the board of the Bank of Finland, a position he retained until 1982. During the 1960s, he had to witness intra-party schisms in the Social Democratic party. He tried to improve the party's connections to communists and to President Urho Kekkonen.
The 1966 election victory of the Social Democrats saw the formation of a new government by Rafael Paasio, with Koivisto, the party's expert on economic policy, appointed as Minister of Finance. By the beginning of 1968, however, many people in the Social Democratic Party were dissatisfied with Paasio's leadership style, and Koivisto eventually emerged as the party's candidate to succeed Paasio as Prime Minister, which he did on March 22, 1968. He served as Prime Minister until the Parliamentary election of 1970, which saw the other parties in his coalition government suffer heavy losses, and led to his resignation.
In the 1970s, President Kekkonen seemed to regard Koivisto as his potential rival and supported his Social Democratic colleague, Kalevi Sorsa, instead. Koivisto remained as the Chairman of the Bank of Finland and, following the 1979 Parliamentary election, he was re-elected as Prime Minister. By 1979, there was an increasing dissatisfaction with the aging President Kekkonen, whose failing health was becoming difficult to conceal, and the lack of change. In this situation, Koivisto, as both Prime Minister and Chairman of the Bank of Finland, and with high ratings in opinion polls, was expected to be a future candidate for President.
In the first months of 1981, President Kekkonen began to regret Koivisto's appointment as Prime Minister and to lean towards the side of those who wanted to get rid of him. In spring 1981, members of the Centre Party, whose party was included in the government coalition, launched an attempt behind the scenes to bring down the cabinet with a parliamentary vote of no confidence, so that Koivisto would not be able to conduct a Presidential election campaign from the position of Prime Minister. At the critical moment, however, Koivisto received support from the Finnish People's Democratic League, and Kekkonen no longer had the energy to topple the government when Koivisto called the bluff by refusing to tender his resignation.
Finnish historians, political scientists and journalists still debate whether President Kekkonen really wanted to dismiss Prime Minister Koivisto or whether Kekkonen wanted to speed up Koivisto's slow and ponderous decision-making or whether this government crisis was just a part of the ruthless "presidential game" that top politicians, such as Koivisto, Foreign Minister Väyrynen, Social Democratic Chairman Sorsa, acting Governor of the Bank of Finland Karjalainen, and Parliamentary Speaker Virolainen, were playing (see, for example, Pekka Hyvärinen, "Finland's Man: Urho Kekkonen's Life" / Suomen mies. Urho Kekkosen elämä, Helsinki: Werner Söderström Publications Ltd., 2000; Juhani Suomi, "A Ski Trail Being Snowed In: Urho Kekkonen 1976-1981"/Umpeutuva latu. Urho Kekkonen 1976-1981, Helsinki: Otava Publications Ltd., 2000; Seppo Zetterberg and Allan Tiitta, "Finland Through the Ages"/Suomi kautta aikojen, Helsinki: Valitut Palat/Reader's Digest, 1992). Later that year, as Kekkonen became too ill to carry out his duties, Koivisto became acting President and was able to launch his Presidential election campaign from that position.
During the campaign, Koivisto was questioned on two issues in particular: the nature of his Socialism and on relations with the Soviet Union. For the nature of his socialism, he referred to Eduard Bernstein, a revisionist, pro-capitalism Social Democrat, popularizing the motto: "The important thing is the movement, not the goal." To a journalist's question, intended to be a difficult one, on the issue of relations with Moscow, Koivisto replied that they were nothing to boast about, and this answer merely increased his popularity. Koivisto did not wish to be elected with the support of Moscow.
The voter turnout in the electoral college elections rose to 87% and his wife and daughter were the most popular electors in the electoral college. Koivisto won 167 of the 301 votes in the electoral college on the first round against 58 for his nearest rival, the National Coalition Party candidate Harri Holkeri. Koivisto became the first Social Democrat to be elected as President.
As president, he kept a low profile and used less authoritarian leadership tactics than Kekkonen had, refraining from using some of his presidential powers and initiating a new era of parliamentarianism in Finland. On the other hand, he had a sometimes difficult relationship with journalists, whom he famously called "lemmings". One practical problem that quite a few reporters had with Koivisto's statements was their deeply pondering and philosophical nature.
Those statements were not often easy to interpret, unlike Kekkonen's blunt and sometimes harsh statements (see, for example, "The Republic's President 1956-1982"/Tasavallan presidentti 1956-1982, published in Finland in 1993-94; "The Republic's President 1982-1994"/Tasavallan presidentti 1982-1994, published in Finland in 1993-94; Mauno Koivisto, "Two Terms I: Memories and Notes, 1982-1994"/Kaksi kautta I. Muistikuvia ja merkintöjä 1982-1994, Helsinki: Kirjayhtymä Publishing Ltd., 1994). As the leader of Finland's foreign policies he initially continued Kekkonen's line until the collapse of the Soviet Union. He also continued the established practice of returning Soviet defectors to the Soviet Union, a custom nowadays considered a human rights violation.[5]
In the critical moments in which the Soviet Union was collapsing, and the Baltic countries, particularly Estonia, were declaring themselves independent, Koivisto referred to the policy of neutrality and avoided publicly supporting the independence movement, but its members were allowed to work from inside Finland. Koivisto's Finland recognized the new Estonian government only after the major powers had done so.
Koivisto made two bold unilateral diplomatic moves that significantly changed the Finnish political position. In 1990, after the reunification of Germany, Koivisto unilaterally renounced the terms of Paris peace treaty which limited the strength and armament of the Finnish Defence Forces. The rationale was that after Germany had been given its full rights as a sovereign state, Finland could not remain bound by the antiquated treaty. The renunciation caused no official protest from Soviet Union or from Great Britain. The other major move was the renunciation of the Finno-Soviet Treaty of 1948 in 1991, concurrently with the fall of Soviet Union. The treaty, the military article of which had shaped Finnish foreign policy for decades, was substituted with a new treaty without military obligations in the next year.
In 1990, partly motivated by nationalism, partly by the fear of the declining work force, Koivisto proposed that any Soviet citizen with either Finnish or Ingrian ancestry be enabled to immigrate to Finland as a returnee.[6][7] The proposal resulted in a modification of immigration law to this end even during the year.
In the 1988 presidential election, Koivisto was re-elected with 189 out of 301 votes in the electoral college on the second round. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he supported more radical ideals like joining the European Union. In 1992, Koivisto initiated the process of Finnish accession to then European Community. The final terms of membership agreement were finalised on the day when Koivisto left office. He was followed by President Martti Ahtisaari, who was also a supporter of EU membership.
Koivisto's popularity sharply declined during Finland's economic depression of the early 1990s, because many unemployed, otherwise impoverished, and even employed citizens believed that he could have and even should have forced the centre-right government of Esko Aho to stimulate the economy and give many unemployed people temporary public-sector jobs.[8]
Koivisto's term ended in 1994. He has published his memoirs in four volumes and continued as a commentator on economics and both domestic and international politics.
In 2009, Koivisto declined to apologize to Estonia that his administration did not support the independence of Estonia.[9]
He has been writing his memoirs and also plays volleyball regularly.
In March 2010, he was hospitalized for cardiac dysrhythmia but was released less than a week later.

Lufthansa is to begin operating Airbus A380 services in June, as part of a summer schedule which features an overall increase in capacity.
Chief executive Wolfgang Mayrhuber, speaking as the airline detailed its 2009 financial performance today, said the airline would be "entering a new dimension in flying" with the A380 "at the end of May".
The carrier will identify its first destinations for the aircraft at the beginning of April.
Lufthansa is increasing capacity on the summer timetable by 3.6% as a result of replacing smaller aircraft types with larger ones, although it will operate virtually the same number of weekly flights.
The number of long-haul flights will increase by 5% while the number of European flights will be slightly reduced.
It will operate to six new destinations - five from Munich, including a new long-haul route to Tashkent, plus Milan-Palermo - but has yet to include services to Iraq, which are still under consideration.
Lufthansa will serve a total of 204 destinations across its network this summer.

Michael Carter-Williams tweets about potential second workout with Suns
With less than a week until the 2013 NBA Draft gets underway, the Phoenix Suns have just a few chances left to narrow down their options for the No. 5 overall pick.
While the team has not announced any new scheduled workouts heading into Thursday's draft, one top prospect appears to be making a return trip back to the Valley.
On my way back to Phoenix #5HEnergy #draftdreams— Michael Carter-Willi (@MCW1) June 23, 2013
Carter-Williams, who initially visited with the Suns back on June 6, averaged 11.9 points, 7.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Syracuse in 2012-13.

Employees will take four new furlough days.
Castaic Union School District Superintendent Jim Gibson has announced that the District will slim down it's schedule for the remaining school year and next year. May 13 will be clasisfied as a furlough day for all employees during the 2009-10 school year, reulting in a .54 percent salery cut for most employees.
During the 2010-11 school year, three furlogh days will be added to the schedule, resulting in a 1.62 percent salary cut. Those dates are November 12, 22 and 23, 2010.
The action was approved February 18 by the Castaic District Board of Trustees.
So far, Gibson says that the District has been able to effectivly weather the state's budget crisis, avoiding teacher layoffs by making cuts to the budget and prudent economic decisions. But with total cuts potentially reaching $4.3 million dollars since 2007, the District has been forced to think of more ways to trim down the budget. The District has already increased class sizes, cut transportation, reduced textbook and library book purchases, and eliminated summer school programs.
A District news release claims that the addition of the new furlough days aims to avoid future teacher layoffs or cuts.

Kami Garcia, the New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels said this of Saundra Mitchell's debut novel, Shadowed Summer: "Beautiful and haunting . . . The best Southern Gothic I've read in years."
Iris is ready for another hot, routine summer in her small Louisiana town, hanging around the Red Stripe grocery with her best friend, Collette, and traipsing through the cemetery telling each other spooky stories and pretending to cast spells. Except this summer, Iris doesn't have to make up a story. This summer, one falls right in her lap.
Years ago, before Iris was born, a local boy named Elijah Landry disappeared. All that remained of him were whispers and hushed gossip in the church pews. Until this summer. A ghost begins to haunt Iris, and she's certain it's the ghost of Elijah. What really happened to him? And why, of all people, has he chosen Iris to come back to?
"Tight, tense, and real--this is the best ghost story I've read in ages!"--Tamora Pierce
"One of my very favorites of 2009."--Aprilynne Pike, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wings

The Punxsy defense led by Caesar Maruca (left, 20), Zak Bevak (middle), Brandon Wingert (right, 64) and company stuff a Moniteau runner last Friday. The Chucks travel to face the Panthers of Northern Bedford tonight at 7 p.m. in the regular season finale.
For a full preview, see Friday's print edition of The Spirit.
Punxsy outside hitter Emilee States taps the ball back over the net with Taylor Newcome (11) and Ivy Phillips looking on as part of the 3-0 sweep of Clearfield Wednesday night in Punxsutawney to advance to the D-IX championship game tonight in St. Marys.
For the full story, see Thursday's print edition of The Spirit.
DuBOIS — On a rainy Halloween night, Bradford's Cody Bly turned out to be no treat for the Punxsy boys' soccer team. Bly found the net three times to boot the Owls past the Chucks to claim the District IX title, 3-1.
"We were outplayed. Bradford was the better team tonight," explained Chucks head coach Phil Shenkle. "We did a lot of things very well, but Bradford was just better in the game."
The night started off rough for Punxsy, especially for its goalkeeper Tristan Acre. The junior not only hurt his knee in the pregame warmups but was forced to leave the game three minutes in.

Many New Mothers Exhibit Signs Of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
April Flowers for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
A new mom is full of worries. She checks to see if the baby is breathing or she worries about germs — washing and re-sterilizing bottles to make sure they are clean. A new baby, especially the first one, seems so fragile that worrying becomes a way of life.
A new study from Northwestern Medicine reveals women who have recently given birth have a much higher rate of obsessive-compulsive symptoms than the general population.
In the first large-scale longitudinal study of obsessive-compulsive symptoms during the postpartum period, the researchers found 11 percent of women at two weeks and six months postpartum experience significant obsessive-compulsive symptoms. This is compared with two to three percent in the general population.
Such symptoms can include fear of injuring the baby and excessive worry about germs. They are usually temporary and could be the result of hormonal changes. The symptoms might also be an adaptive response to caring for a new baby. If, however, the compulsions interfere with a mother's functioning, a psychological disorder may be indicated.
"It may be that certain kinds of obsessions and compulsions are adaptive and appropriate for a new parent, for example those about cleanliness and hygiene," said Dana Gossett, M.D., chief and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Gossett is also a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "But when it interferes with normal day-to-day functioning and appropriate care for the baby and parent, it becomes maladaptive and pathologic."
The study was born out of Gossett and her colleagues' recollections of their own obsessive and upsetting thoughts after giving birth, leading the team to investigate if the experience is universal to all new mothers.
Emily Miller, M.D., clinical fellow in maternal fetal medicine at Feinberg, explains obsessions are unwanted and repeated thoughts or images that cause anxiety. "A compulsion is a response to those obsessive thoughts, a ritualistic behavior that temporarily allays the anxiety but can't rationally prevent the obsession from occurring."
Research shows obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may be caused by such stress. Stressful situations, for example pregnancy and the postpartum period, may exacerbate or predispose women to OCD.
Participants in the study reported concerns about dirt and germs as their most prevalent obsessions, followed by compulsions to check they did not "make a mistake" Some of the behaviors reported include checking and rechecking the baby monitor is working correctly, the baby's crib side is latched properly, or bottles are sterilized correctly.
Some participating mothers reported intrusive thoughts they would harm the baby. "That can be emotionally painful," Miller said. "You don't intend to harm the baby, but you're fearful that you will."
For women in the postpartum period who exhibit obsessive-compulsive symptoms but are otherwise functioning normally, Gossett said, "It would be reassuring to hear that their thoughts and behaviors are very common and should pass."
After giving birth to her own first child, Gossett recalls she routinely worried about falling down the stairs with her baby or the baby would fall out of bed. "It comes into your mind unbidden and it's frightening," she said.
Further research is needed to determine what is normal and what is pathologic, the team asserts.
Participants in the study were recruited during their delivery hospitalization at Northwestern Memorial. A total of 461 women completed screening tests for anxiety, depression and OCD at two weeks after release from the hospital, and 329 of the original group completed the surveys at six months. Symptoms were self-reported and the women did not receive a clinical diagnosis by a psychologist.
Approximately 50 percent of the women surveyed reported an improvement in their symptoms by six months. New mothers, however, developed symptoms at that point who had not experienced them at two weeks.
"If those symptoms are developing much later after delivery, they are less likely to be hormonal or adaptive," Gossett said, noting the risk for psychological disorders persists for up to a year after delivery.
Of the women who screened positive for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, about 70 percent also screened positive for depression. Taken along with the unique subset of obsessions and compulsions, this overlap could indicate postpartum OCD represents a distinct postpartum mental illness that is not currently well classified.
"There is some debate as to whether postpartum depression is simply a major depressive episode that happens after birth or its own disease with its own features," Miller said. "Our study supports the idea that it may be its own disease with more of the anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms than would be typical for a major depressive episode."
The findings of this study will be published in The Journal of Reproductive Medicine.

Elvin H. (Greater London, UK): Ricky Hatton appears to be at a very low point in his life. What are your thoughts about him and all these other athletes and their drug addictions?
Vivek W. (ESB): Too much money, too much time, too little ambition, and too little to do (with their time). That basically sums it up. A week ago, I stated that this very same problem is perhaps the greatest culprit in the recent out-of-ring struggles of Floyd Mayweather jr. When an athlete is young, hungry, and motivated, he's more likely to spend every waking moment in clear pursuit of his ultimate happiness. The problem with guys like Hatton, Calzaghe, and more recently Floyd Mayweather, is the fact that these are men who have reached a status where hit or miss, sink or swim, they have pretty much touched the ceiling of their ambition and there's little else in life that motivates them. Aside from this, in the case of Calzaghe and Hatton, neither man will probably ever have another opportunity to take part in the blissful high associated with a transcendent mega-fight again, so like others in life without beneficial motivation, they search for this 'high' in all the wrong places.
I feel really bad for each of these men. As Fathers, husbands, and beyond, they have more than enough reason to pull themselves from the mental 'dumps' of life, yet they can't see the forest for the trees.. Sad. Very sad. Personally, I don't see myself doing what many others of the media do by making mockery of them. I wish them all well, and I wish even more that those around them were more instrumental in helping them to find success in life itself. At some point, every man will find himself floating on a wing and a prayer. Often in life, what separates those who are able to 'fly' from those who remain grounded isn't the "wing" alone or the prayer alone. It's the people around them who help lift them up by temporarily carrying across a finish line they may not have otherwise crossed. I've been there....have you been there?
Gaston E. (Orlando, FL): If you had to list 10 fighters over the last 20 years who you enjoyed watching the most, who would they be?
Vivek (ESB): For starters, I don't think anyone can answer this question without leaving someone out. That being said, I can't condense it to 10, but I'll give you my top 15. in no specific order: 1.) Roy Jones Jr. (absolutely amazing fighter. Arguably the most physically gifted fighter in this era of the sport), 2.) Hopkins (Never had blazing hand-speed, never had one punch KO power, but did far more with far less than any fighter I can think of) 3.) Toney, (Arguably one of the most technically sound fighters of this era. Fearless, and has no problem getting down and dirty with the best of 'em) 4.) 'Prince' Hamed (Totally unorthodox, totally off the beat-and-path, but he also totally earned my respect with his punching power and ability to get the job done).
5.) Trinidad (Great deal of intensity, great guy, and he came to fight every night....gotta love 'em), 6.) Mayweather (Best pure fundamental fighter of this era, and one of the best chess-masters in the history of the sport), 7.) Pacquiao (Most fierce competitor I've seen since a young "Iron" Mike Tyson. Great speed, a ton of heart, and sheer will puts him on a level few others will ever see in the sport). , 8.) Marquez (Precision punches at a high premium, and a sound tactician. One of my Top 3 favorites in the sport today), 9.) Tyson (Need I say any more? His name says all needed to be said. He lost his way, but in his prime, this man was as exciting to watch as any other fighter in the history of the sport....internationally transcendent).
10.) Vitali Klitshcko (Vastly under-rated by many, but this is the most sound big-man in the game since Lennox Lewis...speaking of which...) 11.) Lennox Lewis (Wasn't the most exciting to watch, and a rather dull personality didn't help, but the man aged like fine wine and will go down as one of the best). 12.) Ricky Hatton (There was just something about the "Rickster"! I liked his energy and his "British Bulldog" style! Great to watch). 13.) Zab Judah (Excellent young fighter when he hit the scene. The only thing he lacked was vision....3-D 'vision'. Defense, determination, and discipline. That 'vision' is the only thing that separated he and FMWjr.). 14.) Shane Mosley (Yeah, yeah, I know there was a doping allegation, but this man epitomized what I like to see in a fighter early in his career, and I loved to watch him). 15.) Oscar De la Hoya (I hated the way he evolved, becoming a total diva with the mega-fight demands, but in his day, I loved watching him go to battle).
Andrade S. (Miami Lakes, FL): I still find Wladimir Klitschko to be extremely boring. Who do you think (if anyone) possess the biggest threat to him in the sport?
Vivek W. (ESB): At this point I think it's safe to assume that David Haye isn't ready to take this challenge. I would follow that in saying that although Adamek has the heart to take the challenge, the height and reach advantage, coupled with the devastating power Wladimir brings with it would virtually guarantee us that Adamek would never see the "championship rounds" to give himself a chance to demonstrate that huge heart of his. I probably shouldn't be so quick to remove men like Chambers, Arreola, and others from the table, but the reality is that they are no more ready or prepared to climb this 'mountain' than Haye or Adamek. Truthfully, the ONLY person out there who I think would not only possess a threat to him, but would stylistically be all wrong for him, is a man we'll never see him face. That man is older brother Vitali! Wladimir has a tendency to try to feel an opponent out and get use the strategical tactic of hugging and wrapping an opponent up to tire them out.
In unison with his very formidable jab, those tactics work brilliantly. The ONLY man in the sport who could offset those tactics is Vitali. A style like Vitali's, coupled with his own height and reach advantage with power to match would nullify everything about Wladimir. It would remove his comfort zone of being able to 'feel out' an opponent, and it would nullify his frequent attempts to jab-and-hold, tiring out his opponent out. In this fight, he'd be required to fight from the first bell to the last one, as Vitali is very aggressive and certainly has enough power and ring-tools to hurt, and maybe even stop him. I don't know if we ever see this fight happen, but Vitali aside, you can blame the weak state of the division or whatever you like, but there's no other option to unseat him as champ.
Francisco V. (Kendall, FL.): What were your thoughts on Gamboa's victory this weekend?
Vivek W. (ESB): I thought Gamboa's victory was a bit bittersweet one. It was great that he got the nod, but the more I see him, the more I realize there's an evolution related issue he faces, as well. He's at an odd stage where he's heads and shoulders above many of his contemporaries, yet he's such a young prospect that it's easy to see that and be coaxed into putting him in with someone he may actually not be ready for. He has the hand-speed, the power, and the style, but he still has bad footwork that often makes some think he has a weak chin. He doesn't have a weak chin, as he gets right up every time he hits the canvas, and he has never been seen really buzzed.
He gets knocked down because more often than not, he's off step and off balance. A simple fundamental element like foot work and balance can make the difference in a point loss that results in a match loss. These are the kind of things that Gamboa's evolution hasn't quite afforded him, yet if he loses, it will be the primary reason why. I love the kids talent and I think he's amazing, but the best sign of truth to my theory was the decision to keep him away from Celestino Caballero when the opportunity came up recently. He can't be held out of marquee fights for too much longer, so ready or not, the time has come. We'll see if he can wing-it! I hope he can. He says he wants JuanMa and others. Those days may be closer than the thinks. Hope he's ready, as he looks to be, but apparently may not. Stay tuned.

The Valenciana region
According to the World Health Organisation this region of the Costa Blanca is one of the healthiest in the world which has attracted people from all over Spain. It has a cosmopolitan flavour that can be seen in an array of shops and services. Torrevieja has received awards such as being amongst the top environmentally minded municipalities in Spain.
Ciudad Quesada
Rojales is a traditional farming village which lies on the Segura River in the heart of the Vega Baja valley which has amazing views of the Crevillente and Callosa mountains. In order to optimize agricultural production it concentrates on growing citrus fruits which account for 70% of the cultivated land.
There are plenty of sports facilities which make it possble to practice such as bowling, football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and swimming. The major sport of the Costa Blanca is golf, of which Rojales is home to La Marquesa. This 18 hole course spans 5.840 meters and has facilities including practice courses, golfing school, social club and restuarant.
Torrevieja is a port town hosting a wide ariety of bars and restaurants and also many local fiestas. This town caters for the whole family and you can take part in many activities such as walking, swimming, snorkeling horse riding and a generous choice of water sports. There is a magnificent Friday market which sells everything from fruit and veg to housing accessories and gifts.
Local to Torrevieja are the salt lakes of Salinas de La Mata & Salinas de Torrevieja. The concentration of salt in these picturesque lagoons helps to draw the moisture out of the air. This combined with the very low annual rainfall, creates the unique micro climate which is ideal for sufferers of Rheumatism, Arthritis and Asthma.
Trips to the island of Tabarca outside of Santa Pola can be reached by small ferry boats from Alicante, Guardamar and Torrevieja. On the southern part of the island is a small village with restaurants, shops and an old church. You can have the pleasure or scuba diving in the untouched waters or simply just relax on the sandy beaches.
The history of the town dates back from the time of the Moors. The water wheel was built at the end of the last century and is protected by monumental stone work to stave off the damages of river flooding which is still working to this day.
One of the most representative symbols of Rojales is the 18th century of bridge of Charles III which is characterised by the workmanship of the stonework crossing the Segura River using three wide arches.
One of the most interesting features in Rojales are the cave dwellings which date back to the middle of the 19th century. Today there are four districts of cave houses. They are located at the sides of several hills surrounding the south of the town. You can visit the caves of El Rodeo where t his is an extensive handcrafts market. It has become a hub of activity where courses, fairs and exhibitions of all things handmade are organised.
A must see is the House of Shells which is the work of Manuel Fullenda Alcaraz's patience and perseverance. This can also be found next to the caves of El Rodeo. Manuel will welcome you into his home for a friendly tour.

"Lovely Villa"
Found this villa in pristine condition. Nice gardens with plenty seating areas. Easy walk to both villages but would recommend hiring a car if you wish to get out and about. Guardamar is only ten minutes drive and well worth the visit. Pretty central for visiting surrounding towns. All in all, we enjoyed how quiet it was and had a good chill! Thank you.

Comments about Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord Muscle Chest Child Costume:
The costume is very cute and great quality , however it runs VERY big. My child normally wears a 5/6 so I ordered the small. It's huge ! Not a problem though we will just tuck up the pants and the wrists . After all its only for one night. Plus he will have room to grow in it :) The customer service was AMAZING

This is an adorable costume for any child. The puffed up muscles make this different than the other Star Lord costumes and adds another dimension. My son looks so cute with the muscles. HIghly recommend this costume.
