Besides the problems with olive-trees plundering we have previously reported with Salvem lo Montsia Association, a new and great concern has appeared in our industry. It is the sum of four conjunctural factors that have come into play and put the job of thousands of Spanish producers at risk.

In Catalan language there’s a saying that goes: “Per Nadal, qui res no estrena, res no val”. That means: In Xmas time, you must wear/use something brand new, or you will show no respect for traditions. This is precisely what we want to do with the look and feel of our webpage, which we have updated in the last days of 2018. From now on, those who browse www.raldafriends.com will find a more modern image and an interface that makes easier both the buying and the adoption processes to all of our visitors, friends and adopters. Our updated web keeps...
