The gang return for the TENTH podcast (wahoo!), all a bit worldly wiser in the ways – and pitfalls – of making a topical podcast.This week the various police forces of the Iberian peninsula come into focus – specificallt the Portuguese police in the Algarve and the Guadia Civil in Mojacar (Almeria).Jon talks about the shocking case of a Costa del Sol lawyer who was given a royal beating by a bunch of cops during a night out in the Portuguese tourist hotspot.Walt reports on the tragic case of a Brit who was clearly killed in a botched robbery in his own home, and how the authorities never investigated the case properly and recently closed it claiming they couldn't find a suspect.The huge tsunami drills that took place in Cadiz this week also get a mention – is it something we should be worried about?
And finally the team notes how the oldest people in Spain all seem to come from the same area – what's so special about it?
