Alicante

Alicante, a city in Spain, is currently in the news for a variety of reasons. Politically, the Bishop of Orihuela-Alicante made headlines by comparing Donald Trump to a character from "The Exorcist" due to Trump's reaction to the Pope's stance on war. Culturally, Elisabeth Martínez, an intersex actress from Alicante, is gaining attention for her role in a remake of the film "Mi querida señorita." In animal welfare, 'Sona,' the last circus tiger in Portugal, was relocated to a sanctuary in Villena, Alicante.
