MADRID Nike Air More Uptempo Schweiz , July 13 (Xinhua) -- A wildfire which began at around midday close to the famous 14th century Alhambra Palace in the city of Granada on Thursday has been brought under control, local media informed.

The fire burned strongly on scrubland for two hours before it was brought under control by 77 firemen, who worked with the aid of seven aircraft and helicopters to prevent a disaster.

Several houses and some of the famous cave homes close to the Alhambra had to be evacuated, although local authorities confirmed that tourists visiting the Moorish palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site Nike Vapormax Off White Schweiz , were never in danger and no casualties were reported.

The fire began for causes which are still unknown in a gully in an area called the Barranco del Abogado to the southeast of the Alhambra complex and climbed the hillside until they were close to the old Moorish cemetery, around 500 meters away from the historic monument.

Granada is currently on red alert for a heatwave and temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius helped the fire become established, although the rapid deployment of aerial measures to combat the flames was able to stop its spread. The fire was declared to be under control at 2:35 p.m. local time (1235 GMT).

Briton Chris Froome cemented his status as one of the greatest Tour de France riders when he secured his third title on Sunday after a three-week rocky ride.

Germany's Andre Greipel won the 21st and last stage, a 113--kilometer ride from Chantilly ending on the Champs Elysees in Paris.

Team Sky rider Froome survived two crashes and even a jog up a mountain road to add to his 2013 and 2015 triumphs and become the first rider to retain his title since Spaniard Miguel -Indurain in 1995.

American Lance Armstrong won seven titles in succession from 1999 but was erased from the winners' list after admitting to doping.

"This tour has obviously -taken place against the backdrop of -terrible events in Nice and we pay our respect again to those who lost their lives," Froome said of the recent incident in which a man killed 84 people when he drove a truck through a Bastille Day crowd on the seafront at the Riviera city.

"Of course these kinds of events put sport into perspective but they also show why the values of sport are so important to free society."

Frenchman Romain Bardet finished second overall Air Jordan 1 Off White Schweiz , 2:52 -behind Froome, who had a 4:05 lead going into the last stage but was caught on the wrong side of a split in the finale of -Sunday's stage.

Colombian Nairo Quintana, runner--up in 2013 and 2015 who was -expected to push Froome to the limit, ended up a disappointing third, 3:08 off the pace.

Pole Rafal Majka won the polka dot jersey for the mountain classification and his Tinkoff teammate Nike Presto Off White Schweiz , world champion -Peter -Sagan, clinched a fifth green -jersey for the points classification.

Sagan, who won three stages, was also voted the most aggressive rider in the three-week race while Adam Yates showed Britain was full of resources, ending up fourth overall and winning the white jersey for the best under-25 rider.

Another Briton Nike Blazer Off White Schweiz , Mark Cavendish, claimed four stages but he pulled out of the race on the second rest day to prepare for the Olympic Games, where he will be competing on the track.

Froome built his success on an impressively strong Team Sky, arguably the best-assembled in recent Tour history, being able to rely on domestique de luxe -Wouter Poels in the mountains.

The Briton Air Force 1 Off White Schweiz , however, had a few scares.

In the 12th stage ending on Mont Ventoux, he crashed when he was involved in an incident with a TV motorbike and even ran up the road after his bike was broken.

Froome hit the deck again on a slippery descent in the 19th stage, but he had by then sewn up his win thanks to strong performances in the time trials and surprise attacks on a descent and the flat.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed on Sunday when the peloton rode a largely processional stage, Froome drinking beer and champagne in the neutral zone.

And now Rio is what dominates his thoughts.

"Yes Nike Air Max 90 Off White Schweiz , I'm hoping to do the time trial at the Olympics," said the 31-year-old. "I think it's a course that suits me well, with -almost 1,000 -meters of climbing and almost 60 kilo-meters in length. It's going to be an extremely tough event. I took bronze at the last Olympics in London. It would be absolutely incredible to medal again this year."

BEIJING, April 27 (Xinhua) -- China's major industrial firms continued to post double-digit growth in March Nike Off White The Ten Schweiz , adding to signs of a stabilizing Chinese economy, official data showed Thursday.

The companies reported a 23.8-percent year-on-year profit growth last month, slowing from 31.5 percent in January and February but still much faster than the 8.5-percent increase in 2016, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

In the first three months of the year, profits of major industrial firms rose 28.3 percent year on year Nike Air Footscape Magista Schweiz , the NBS said in a statement.

The industrial sector, which accounts for about a third of China's GDP, started to pick up last year after profit declines in 2015, helped by government efforts to . Cheap Timberwolves Jerseys   Cheap Rockets Jerseys   Cheap Pistons Jerseys   Cheap Pacers Jerseys   Cheap Nuggets Jerseys   Cheap Brooklyn Nets Jerseys   Wholesale Mavericks Jerseys   Wholesale Hornets Jerseys   Wholesale Hawks Jerseys   Wholesale Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys
