Altea

Altea is a town in Spain, relevant in recent news due to an incident involving a cyclist from the area. Jaume Guardeño, a promising cyclist from Altea and member of the Caja Rural-RGA team, is currently hospitalized in the ICU of the Taulí Hospital in Sabadell with serious injuries. This follows an accident that occurred during training on Tuesday. The news of Guardeño's accident and hospitalization has generated concern within the Spanish cycling community. While Altea itself is not directly involved in the other news article, the proximity of Polop (where a drug trafficker was arrested) to Alicante suggests Altea is within the same general region of Spain. The cyclist's accident is the primary reason Altea is mentioned in recent news.
