Constitution day in Spain

By

The 6th of December is a national holiday in Spain, celebrating the constitution of 1978.

A constitutional referendum was held in Spain on Wednesday, 6 December 1978, to gauge support for either the ratification or repealing of the Spanish Constitution which had been approved by the Cortes Generales on 31 October 1978.

The question asked was “Do you approve of the Constitution Bill?” The referendum resulted in 91.8% of votes in support of the bill on a turnout of 67.1%.

The new constitution replaced the laws of the Franco era, and turned Spain into a constitutional monarchy.

The feat of creating a democratic system without breaking the structures of power of the state was made possible by the approval of the Political Reform act of 1977. The law provided for the legalization of political parties and a democratic election to Constituent Cortes, a committee of which then drafted the Constitution.

FEBRUARY FLIGHT NUMBERS AT CORVERA AIRPORT

By

The total number of passengers passing through Murcia Corvera in February 2019 was 45,149. This represented an increase of 2.5% from the numbers seen at San Javier airport in February 2018. After initial lower numbers in January 2019 as the airport was opening, the increase represents a return to the pattern of year on year increases in passenger numbers. Of the passenger numbers, 84.3% were passengers on flights between the UK and Murcia.

Initially there may have been some queries about the location of Murcia Corvera airport and whether it would hold up against the likes of Alicante airport which was always the alternative to the San Javier airport. It is also true that the San Javier was a much-loved and popular airport. However, the continued success of the new airport is proving that the more inland location can certainly hold its own and has a great deal of appeal for all those looking for an even easier connection right into the city of Murcia as well as those who frequent the number of golf courses located within short driving distances of the new airport.
