Stretches of Spain

It's reported by typicallyspanish.com that José Luis Sánchez Rodríguez, owner of the El Secadero jazz club in Alhendín near Granada, has been jailed for two and a half years and ordered to pay €27,000 compensation for making excessive noise over a 12-year period.

The site reports that the Granada provincial court found that since it had opened in 1994 the club had put local residents at 'serious risk', making them 'irritable' and 'affecting their performance at work'.

It appears that although most of the shows were at the weekend, the club hosted rehearsals during the week which usually started after midnight.
