	ABC.es Hemeroteca: las pateras que no cesan
		Por más que la valla de Melilla y los intentos de salto masivos de los subsaharianos se lleven los titulares en los medios de comunicación, los «billetes» para dar el salto a nuestro país son todavía objeto de deseo.
		La creciente dificultad que están encontrando los emigrantes subsaharianos para acceder a España por la valla de Melilla está haciendo que, en algunos casos, sean desviados por las mafias locales a la zona de Alhucemas, donde intentan la vía marítima.
		Según vecinos de la zona, el control de los grupos de candidatos a la emigración clandestina acabó hace unos días a tiros en la comuna de Rouadi, a unos 50 kilómetros de Alhucemas.

		La blancura de sus casas recuerda a cualquier pueblo de Andalucía, y rememoran las épocas en que existían aquí escuela y hospital para los más de 1.000 habitantes que tuvo en su época.
		La torre de Alhucemas, resto de la antigua iglesia dedicada a San Agustín y a San Carlos (nombre de los navíos del conde de Montesacro, con los cuales ocupó la isla), y que permite contemplar desde lo alto una hermosa vista de toda la bahía, es lo más llamativo del peñón.
		Sufrió una epidemia de peste en 1743 y otra de fiebre amarilla en 1851; a veces, la situación era tan desesperada que se permitía a los prisioneros escapar a tierra y asi intentar sobrevivir a los rifeños.

	Chapter 7: Penal Servitude in Early Modern Spain
		In the first decade of the eighteenth century, the judges on the Sala de Alcaldes de Casa y Corte often complained to the king about the number of criminals that they had condemned to the presidios who had escaped and returned to Madrid.
		An official investigation of the Alhucemas presidio in 1778 found that bribes and special favors were rampant at all levels of the administration.
		Prisoners from Melilla, Alhucemas, and El Peñón were transferred regularly to Ceuta and Oran, while the latter sent their offenders to the minor presidios.

		Desearia desde estas páginas poder celebrar que los soldados destacados en la Isla de Alhucemas, cercana a la población de Alhucemas, no han sufrido ningún daño por el terremoto.
		En total no deben de sobrepasar de 200 soldados los destacados en ambos, pero no se tienen noticias de que en la Isla de Alhucemas como en el Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera estén sanos y salvos.
		Espero que la prensa recuerde que hay soldados y civiles, en la isla de Alhucemas, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera y las islas Chafarinas.

	WENR, July/August 2002: Education in Spain
		The introduction of the LOU last year was largely a response to the European Union's call for standardizing the education system of all member states to facilitate the exchange of students, lectures, researchers, information and employment.
