Spanish News in English

Dear readers,

The situation on La Palma, in Spain's Canary Islands, remains tense with the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano showing no signs of easing. This week, residents in three towns were told to remain indoors and wear face masks due to the heavy ash falls, while earthquakes continued to be felt at all hours of the day.

Meanwhile, more information was revealed about the man arrested for the murder of a nine-year-old boy named Álex. According to the suspect's prison file, he was interviewed 16 times while on parole from prison, where he was serving a 30-year sentence for another killing.

In other news, the founder of social network Tuenti, Zaryn Dentzel, was attacked by a gang of hooded assailants in an apparent bid to steal his bitcoin fortune.

And finally, we looked at how a network of octogenarians wound up helping a Spanish drug trafficker to launder money.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.

Thanks for reading.
