A very loud bang was heard over a wide area of southern Spain this morning at about 9.30. I woke up with a start, and the cat's eyes were out on stalks.
It was the hot topic of discussion over morning coffee. Various theories and rumours emerged; terrorist bomb (my immediate thought); nearby crane falling over (my second thought); earthquake; gas explosion; official start of Torremolinos Féria; etc.etc.
So, was it the sound of the stock markets crashing, or the end (or beginning) of the universe after a Large Hadron Collision in Switzerland?
The official line is that it was a military jet going through the sound barrier.
I have read reports of people as far away as Antequera and the Axarquia hearing it. Anyone else, and where were you?
