Luis Miguel performs his famous tune, "La Bikina," which refers to a tormented woman. Composed by Ruben Fuentes, some say he coined the term after seeing women in bikinis during a walk on the beach, while others claim it was inspired by a legend during the times of the Cristeros in Jalisco, Mexico.

Puerto Rican by birth, Luis Fonsi moved at an early age to Orlando, Florida. Despite having participated in a number of minor “boy bands,” it wasn’t until he was discovered by the president of the music school at the University of Florida, where he was a student, that he was offered a sizable recording contract. Success came quickly as his reputation spread throughout Latin America.

Los Tetas got together in their native Chile in 1994, where they honed a unique blend of funk, hip hop, and soul, and since then have bopped around the Americas, living in New York and Mexico.

Today is an important day in the Sevillian town of Albaida de Aljarafe as it is holding its first dog show/contest specifically for pure Spanish Greyhounds, a breed that has been somewhat endangered recently due to crossbreeding with English Greyhounds.

Los Reporteros goes behind the scenes to explore how Greyhounds are selected for racing.

Animal protective services calculate that fifty thousand greyhounds are abandoned annually in Spain, and it's not just greyhounds. In fact, Spain's animal abandonment statistic of four hundred pets per day put it at the top per inhabitant per year out of the entire European Union.

While many Spanish greyhounds are meticulously taken care of, many animals considered unworthy or past their prime are simply abandoned by their owners.

Whatever the number of abandoned or put down greyhounds in Spain might be, it has been documented for many years and has taken on the aspect of an authentic epidemic that only international adoptions relieve.

As robberies increase in Spanish stores along with the worsening of the economic crisis, shopkeepers are forced to reconsider their security systems.

Seville's Nervión Plaza Shopping Center employs a total of seventy-two cameras recording twenty-four hours a day in order to, among other things, assist in theft prevention.
