The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
Join us as we head over to Spain, and meet with Jack & Georgia who moved from the UK to a remote Off-Grid Finca in the mountains of Spain! After being fed up of never ending bills, the rat race, and the grey skies, they took the plunge and changed their life for the better!
They share with us the joys, as well as the challenges of this lifestyle, and we get a tour of their unique Olive Farm property on the hill, which they bought for less than the price of a 1 bed flat in the UK!
Thanks to Jack & Georgia for sharing their story with us!
Unreported World is in Spain tracking down the smuggling gangs using submarines to sneak vast quantities of cocaine into Europe, and following Spanish customs officials trying to find these near invisible targets.
As cocaine production surges in Latin America, the authorities are increasingly on the lookout for small ‘narco-subs’ that spend weeks crossing the Atlantic from Latin America. Drug seizures across Spain are on the rise with more than 90 million tonnes seized last year. Most is found in shipping containers and ports. But in the coastal region of Galicia, in North-West-Spain, reporter Guillermo Galdos discovers a network of seasoned smugglers operating under the police’s radar.
The existence of Narco-submarines was until recent years the stuff of myth. But from 2019 Spanish authorities have been discovering more and more home-made submarines, each capable of carrying tonnes of cocaine worth over £100m. Galdos embeds with Spanish customs as they patrol the coast, and discovers how local smugglers are using fast-boats to unload their cargo in the open ocean, and speed back to land before disappearing into coves and estuaries running along the shore.
Much like the submarines, most smugglers operate silently and without trace. Galdos manages to access one smuggler who claims to come from a long line of local fishermen who built their network importing tobacco and hashish, and now work directly with Colombia’s cartels illegally importing cocaine. Once in Spain, he says its distributed around Europe to wherever there is demand.

El pueblo español de Pescueza cuida de sus ciudadanos mayores como comunidad y les da mucha libertad personal. Es una victoria para los mayores, sus familias y toda la comunidad.
Many survivors are still waiting for the emergency aid that was promised to them by the Spanish government. Some feel abandoned, like Meri Garcia, who lost her husband in the floods.
Spanish farmer Antonio Basa is has to guard his olive grove at night. Heat-related crop failures have driven the price of olive oil sky high and now, professional gangs are stealing the lucrative fruit.
Spain is the world’s largest producer of olive oil. Antonio Basa rubs his tired eyes after a night patrolling his fields. "By day, we’re working hard in the groves and by night, we’re back out there making sure our olives aren’t stolen - it’s so frustrating,” he says. The thieves are getting bolder and harvesting many tons of olives every night. The olive shortage is making crops more valuable as extreme drought reduced the 2022 and 2023 harvests by around half.
José Medina from Zafra was the victim of four break-ins last year. Olive oil valued at 80,000 Euros was stolen from his warehouse. Insurers won’t pay out, forcing José to the brink of bankruptcy. He’s also angered by the slow progress of the investigation into the crime. José has long given up hope that the perpetrators will ever be brought to justice.
Fran Camorra from the Guardia Civil understands the frustration. He’s a member of the force’s nature protection unit "Seprona” and estimates that justice is served in no more than 10 percent of cases like these, although his department now patrols olive groves itself with motorbikes, drones, and thermal imaging cameras. But it’s not possible to monitor all the groves in Spain. Antonio Basa is seriously considering giving up. After all, on the back of two extreme droughts, thieves are now threatening his livelihood.#documentary#dwdocumentary#dwdocs

Large parts of Spain were hit overnight with more torrential rain, just two weeks after more than 220 people died in flash flooding in Valencia.
It is the same weather system affecting Málaga and other parts of southern and eastern Spain.
Valencia is still recovering from a year's worth of rain in just eight hours last month.
Protests have just begun in several Spanish cities, as thousands of people voice their anger over a lack of warning before the floods in Valencia, which killed at least 219 people.
Survivors say they also felt completely abandoned in the aftermath. There are calls for the regional President to resign, and also questions for the prime minister over why a national text alert warning system was not triggered in advance.
Details with FRANCE 24 correspondent in Madrid, Spain, Sarah Morris.
Thousands of rescuers pumped water from submerged buildings, churned through muddy streets and cleared debris on Monday as Spain braced for more deaths from its worst floods in decades.
The toll stands at 217 dead and could spike in the coming days as an unknown number of people remain missing. Around 17,000 soldiers, police officers, civil guards and firefighters spent a sixth day distributing aid, repairing infrastructure and searching for bodies using heavy machinery, drones and sniffer dogs.
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez admits immediate response has not been enough as he's deploying 10,000 more troops and police officers to help recovery efforts in the parts of Valencia hit by what he says was Europe's second deadliest flood in a century.
Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, announces the largest army deployment in peacetime, with 10,000 more police and soldiers being sent to help people recover from the deadly flooding.
The death toll in the Valencia region has risen to 211 people. But local have criticized the authorities for being poorly prepared, saying they feel "abandoned by the government".
Hundreds of volunteers have now taken it upon themselves to help, as police fear more bodies are hidden in the wreckage of the floods.
Sky's Europe correspondent Adam Parsons talks to some of those affected in town of Paiporta.
At least 158 people have died in Spain's worst flooding disaster in generations as rescuers battle odds to find survivors.
"Right now the most important thing is to save as many lives as possible," Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told victims in a visit to affected communities.
But in some of the towns worst-hit in Tuesday night's floods, people were left to the task of recovering bodies from the mud and wreckage. "We all know someone who has died," said pharmacist Miguel Guerrilla, standing outside his chemist shop which has been covered in thick mud.
Questions have been asked over whether disaster management services issued warnings too late.
Spain is observing three days of mourning after flash flooding killed at least 95 people. Dozens are still missing and the death toll is expected to rise.
The eastern regions of Murcia and Valencia were hardest hit. Huge storms were triggered by a so-called "cold drop."
That happens when a cold Atlantic low-pressure system colides with warm Mediterranean air. Muddy torrents swept away vehicles and ripped apart homes.
At least 51 people are known to have died after torrential rain caused flash floods in south-eastern Spain, authorities have said.
Local officials in Valencia say it is "impossible" to put a final figure on the number of people who have died.
Much of the country has been badly hit by heavy rain and hailstorms, triggering rapid flooding across multiple areas. In the town of Chiva near Valencia more than a year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours.
