Happy Community of Madrid Day! An ideal place to settle. One of the most prosperous regions in Europe, unaffected by the north-south split between rich and poor, neither in the region nor in the capital. Thus, the green mountains of the north and the dry countryside of the south have the
Michael Jackson was too tempting a candy for the film industry to escape the trend of musical biopics. But Michael, the newly released story of the king of pop, has come to light with more chiaroscuro than a Caravaggio to navigate the multiple mines contained in the artist’s story in a film that began to take shape after the success achieved in 2019 by Bohemian Rhapsody and that had from the beginning the support of Jackson’s heirs.
Being in a museum does not mean being finished, not by a long shot in the case of Fangoria, the duo formed in the late 80s by Alaska and Nacho Canut who release their ninth studio album, La verdad o la imaginación, with eurodance as a musical reference. Melodies to move on the dance floor crafted by a couple who do not dance, with elegant lyrics where they raise doubts about truth or science without daring to give a solution that commits them to anything other than their own freedom.
Iain MacGregor follows the British tradition and narrates the story with the suspense of fiction: “I wrote it almost like a movie, with four key characters driving the action,” he says about Hiroshima Men (Ático de los Libros). “I didn’t want an academic work, but a reading that would captivate you,” he adds in a conversation about the end of the Second World War, about the race to build the atomic bomb and the fateful decision to use it, in which parallels with the contemporary world are intertwined: “There are similarities in the choice of right-wing populists and I am worried about having someone like Trump in power, who has a two-second attention span and with whom you cannot build international relations,” he maintains. However, he does not fear that the President of the United States will press the nuclear button: “It would be reckless,” he points out. “And, fortunately, there are sane people in the military leadership who would not give him the codes,” he concludes.
“We don’t have a penny, we are up to our necks in debt, but very happy to see this dream come true,” say Pep Tosar and Evelyn Arévalo, who have completely renovated the Raval theater, on Sant Antoni Abat street in Barcelona. The venue belongs to the Carme parish, with which a 15-year, renewable rental contract has been formalized.
The architect Luis Pérez de Prada, director of real estate and natural environment of National Heritage, walks the roof of the Royal Palace in an exceptional site visit to explain how the 19 million euros of European funds destined to improve the building that Philip V ordered to be built on the rugged terrain next to the river that had occupied the old alcázar, burned down in 1734, are being spent.
As a child, on a day like this, every year at school I would paint a photocopy with Sant Jordi, Saint George in my land. Every year I would change the color of the dragon so as not to get bored. Then I would write stories for the saint, destinies, love affairs. Years later I dreamed this
Finally, the day has come. After wanting to sign for so long. After so many times I had been told what Sant Jordi would be like. After so many days in which I had walked in previous editions as a reader… Today I found myself sitting in front of
The bad omens did not come true on “my first Sant Jordi as a signatory”. No passerby appeared with the original manuscript of their hypothetical book for me to take a look at. There were no children touching copies, and if there were, they were welcome. And
The first time I participated in Sant Jordi, I did so without expectations and with a certain feeling of smallness. I was 30 years old, had a published saga that my friends believed in more than I did, and a terrible vertigo that barely allowed me to look beyond my feet.
