Nacionalni park Koto Donjana, Španija – Doñana National Park, Spain

Many centuries later, in 1969, the Spanish government established the Koto Donjana National Park, which stretches over 350 km² of the river delta which the Moors called the Wada el Kebir (Great River) and which is today known as Guadalquivir. This delta is very unusual, to the extent that some prefer to call it the mouth (river into the sea), since north of the city of Sanlucar de Baramela one of the tributaries of the river flows into the Atlantic.

Vjeruje se da je razočaranje u ljubavi nagnalo Anu de Silva i Mendoza, vojvotkinju od Medina Sidonije, da se osami u spartanskoj rezidenciji u delti rijeke Gvadalkivir, gdje su vladari Kastilje osnovali lovište. Od tada, stanovnici obližnjih ribarskih sela ovu oblast nazuvaju šumom donje Ane ili pak samo Donjana. Mnogo vijekova kasnije, 1969. godine, španska vlada osnovala je Nacionalni park Koto Donjana, koji se prostire na preko 350 km² delte rijeke koju su Mavari nazvali Vada el Kebir (velika rijeka) i koja je danas poznata kao Gvadalkivir. Ta delta je vrlo neobična, do te mjere, da je neki radije nazivaju ušćem (rijeke u more), pošto se sjeverno od grada Sanlukar de Baramela jedan od rukavaca rijeke uliva u Atlantik. Drugi rukavci su jedan za drugim prepriječeni pješčanim sprudom koji se pruža od ušća rijeke Tinto, u blizini grada Palosa, do obale rijeke Gvadalkivir koja leži na strani suprotnoj od Sanlukara…

Bexar County officials: Abbott’s claims of abuse at Freeman Coliseum migrant shelter aren’t true (ME: Same governor who let Texans freeze to death and still trying to deflect from his bungling)

His claims on the staff shortage, the lack of supervision and meals for the children were quickly debunked by county officials, who said the sexual assault claims needed to be investigated.

Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, who was briefed on the investigation by the federal HHS Division of Children’s Services, said Abbott’s claims were “completely false.”

“When he said it, there was nothing,” Wolff said during a daily coronavirus briefing. “Now, other things could happen, I don’t know that they have. I have not heard anything. It could happen in the future, with – what do we got now? — 1,802 boys out there, something could go wrong. But the previous allegations that he made were untrue.”

Other officials told the San Antonio Express-News that there was no veracity to the claims or enough detail to proceed.
