Hi, my husband and I are newly resident in the village and settling in well. There was a large van traveling the streets this morning. It’s load hailer was announcing something in Spanish which sounded fairly important. Does anyone know anything about this?

Usually they are trying to sell some service or advertising one.
You get used to them.
Anything of importance, security, flooding etc etc is normally dealt with by the Guard Civil. Then you will know, they use Police vehicles with flashing lights.
Hope this helps to allay your fears, welcome to Spain, relax & enjoy. regards Al.
Thanks Al,
Its very reassuring to know, that anything major would come by way of flashing lights! Lol
No seriously we were a little concerned and it’s good to know these things.
Thanks for the welcome.
Elaine & Andy

Its okay we had the same thoughts when we first moved to Spain.
There is no control on speaker announcements in Spain.
In the UK they needed to be licenced and could not last more than 7 seconds. Even the Ice-creme vans
Here there are no such restrictions apaprantly.

Municipal elections.
not municipal. It will have been for the elections of the region Andalucia
Thanks for that. We are getting used to these announcements now.😊
