Elche is where the Playmobil world comes to life

The Caribbean seas are bringing a lot of fun to Elche that has never been seen before. Pirates, secret treasures, and small worlds take over the L’Aljub Shopping Centre so that kids (and adults) can play with Playmobil figures in a fantasy world. Prepare to be sucked into a world full of games, tasks, and surprises that will make fans of these classic toys very happy.

From February 21, 2025, to March 16, 2025, L’Aljub will be the place to be for free events with fun themes that are great for the whole family. The main ideas are a pirate escape room, a play area with famous Playmobil figures, meeting Playmobil characters, and the chance to win special prizes through raffles and challenges you can do online.

In particular, this one-of-a-kind event will happen every Friday and Saturday for three weekends in a row. In February, it will happen on February 21, 22, and 28 (Friday); in March, it will happen on March 1, 7, 8, 14, and 15. The following are the schedules:

Friday from 5 to 9 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, 12pm to 2pm and 5pm to 9pm.

“Treasure Island,” an escape room where people can go on an adventure full of puzzles, traps, and riddles, will be one of the best parts of this version. There will be a Game Master with each player as they go into a pirate world where they need to use their brains and skills to find hidden clues, complete tasks, and get the treasure before time runs out.

L’Aljub has also set up a themed area where people can play with Playmobil’s famous sets without being told what to do. There will be tables in the play area with the brand’s figures on them so that kids and adults can pretend to be in different time periods and places, such as pirates’ ships, the Middle Ages, or the future.

In this area, you can also find XXL figures and display cases with accurate copies of some of the brand’s most famous scenes. At the same time, there will be a “meet and greet” with a Playmobil figure on Saturdays (February 22; March 1, 8, and 15). People who are interested will be able to take pictures with their favourite character during these events and bring back a memento that they will never forget.

Also, L’Aljub is giving away the brand’s goods every week through its social networks and website from February 3 to 20. During the event, people can also take part in person through the “El Secreto del Oasis Pirata” gymkhana in the shopping centre. To get their reward, they can pick up a map at the information desk and follow the hints.

People who sign up online will be able to play an engaging game on the website. They can answer questions about the world of pirates and win really cool prizes. One winner will be told online on February 21 and in person on March 17. The winners will be announced on L’Aljub’s website and social networks.

21 expensive cars that were stolen in the U.S. were found Valencia port

Together with the US Container Security Initiative, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency found 21 high-end cars that were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to Africa in the port of Valencia. The cars, which were worth a total of €1.1 million, were reported stolen and were being moved in containers.

The cars were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to different places in Africa, stopping in Valencia’s port. Risk analysis units made up of Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers were able to find several packages that might not have had the goods that were claimed to have been inside.

With the help of the information gathered, it was confirmed that stolen cars that had been in Valencia on their way to the United States had actually arrived. The groups that ship stolen cars either traded legally declared cars for stolen ones or directly declared the stolen cars as other goods, like furniture or mattresses.

In the past few weeks, 21 vehicles have been found and will be sent back to their home countries to be given to their original owners.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.

In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.

Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.

The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.

The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.

Dénia wrestler arrested in connection with a network that smuggled 300 kilos of cocaine from Ecuador

The National Police’s Drugs and Organised Crime Unit arrested a famous mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter from Dénia. He was part of a gang that was partly broken up in August over a shipment of 300 kg of cocaine from Ecuador that came into the port of Valencia. The fighter from Dénia is one of five people who were caught by police. Along with nine other gang members who were already in jail at the time, they are now in jail.

The man who was arrested in Dénia is thought to be the trusted man of the gang’s leader, who is also an MMA fighter, and the person who is said to have worked as a go-between in the operation.

Levante-EMV also says that the broken-down network is linked to another shipment of 490 kg of cocaine that came into the port of Valencia in April of last year.

The five people who were just caught went before Valencia’s Investigative Court No. 20 yesterday, April 3rd.
