As millions of Spaniards usher in the New Year tonight, Antonio Rus will be at home covering his ears.

He has been fighting for more than ten years to silence the bells of Jaén Cathedral, which ring out every 15 minutes and are, unfortunately, only a stone’s throw from his flat.

“It is as if they were ringing in my bedroom. It is driving me mad,” he said.

Mr Rus had kept up his campaign for peace and quiet since 1997, claiming that his rights had been infringed because of an administrative error. This year the superior court ruled that the council was at fault and ordered its officials to measure the noise levels again.

In Spain, a country renowned for noise, the maximum noise level allowed during the day is 55 decibels and at night 45 decibels.

But Mr Rus' neighbour didn't support him. One neighbour asked: “Why doesn’t Mr Rus simply move to another part of Jaén if he is bothered about the noise? The cathedral has been there much longer than he has.”
