A car has ended up embedded in the Begoña metro station, after a collision with another on La Castellana. Two people have been injured, one with serious prognosis and another with minor injuries, following a traffic accident on the early hours of this Monday on Paseo de la Castellana. The embedded car and another vehicle collided and, after losing control, one of them ended up on the stairs of the Begoña metro station, according to Emergencias Madrid.

The mayor of Móstoles, Manuel Bautista (PP), has been summoned to testify as an investigated party on October 9th in the case investigating him for the complaint filed by a former councilor of his party for sexual and workplace harassment.

Deaths attributable to high temperatures have reached 114 in the first twelve days of July in the Valencian Community, of which 104 occurred last week, during which a heat wave with temperatures above 45 degrees was recorded.

It is surprising to visit with today’s eyes the “journalists’ chalets” of the past, those single-family homes, with outdoor vegetation, terraces, and a modernist air that the architect Enrique Viedma (València, 1889-1959) built in 1935 next to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in the capital of the Túria. Single-family homes, with a lobby, living room, kitchen, three or four bedrooms, outdoor patio, and a privileged location next to the Viveros gardens that were designed for the Press Association. Looking at them with the eyes of a city now besieged by the real estate crisis, which tears its seams, raises its prices, and expels its neighbors, is even more surprising.

There are those in the Valencian PP who are outraged these days by the methods that Génova has deployed regarding the future of the party in the Valencian Community. In reality, it has almost always been the norm. I say this in light of the uncertainty that has settled due to the suspicious delay…

Renting in Valencia is already so expensive that the latest survey by the Valencian Community Real Estate Association (ASICVAL) states that 13.9% of tenants choose to share housing and 12% resort to renting rooms. And yet the survey says that the trend “has moderated,” because a year ago it represented 31.8%. These are those who still resist and look in the city, but there are many others who leave the municipality to find that accommodation that meets their needs and not just their desires, since according to Valencian real estate agents, price is also the main reason why 28.4% of tenants are forced to expand their search outside the main urban centers. They add that those who share housing without family ties are 33.4% of tenants, when a year ago they represented 19.3%, almost double.

A minor has lost her life this Sunday and a 24-year-old young woman has been seriously injured due to a rockfall from the walls of the pools in the Fontcalda gorges, an inland bathing area in the municipality of Gandesa (Terra Alta) in Tarragona.

“‘I don’t run. I jog! That is, I walk fast,” Miquel Pucurull says with a smile. At 87 years old, he still goes out every morning to jog about six kilometers through the streets of Barcelona. His urban route starts on Llança street, where he lives, then continues along Tarragona street, Josep Tarradellas avenue, and up to El Corte Inglés on the Diagonal, and then back. He only rests one day a week.

Models, plaster models, tools, ropes, rolls of paper, plans, notes, books… The photographs that have been preserved of Gaudí’s office and workshop in the Sagrada Família give an idea of the intensity of the work carried out there by the architect and his collaborators. A workshop that expanded as needs grew and in which Gaudí would end up living the last months of his life. Those photographs and the little that could be saved from the fire that in 1936 burned the entire space have served to continue the works of the basilica and now also to recover a small part of that suggestive workspace.

Jonathan Andic’s defense has filed an appeal against the decision of the judge in Martorell to accept the prosecutor’s request to incorporate the central unit for missing persons of the Mossos d’Esquadra into the investigation of Isak Andic’s death, for which his son is accused. Lawyer Cristóbal Martell signed a document on June 18 warning that the technical operational analysis of the evidentiary elements, which the prosecution wants to assign to the aforementioned unit, is not appropriate in this procedure and that the assessments they want to assign correspond exclusively to the judicial authority. He also asserts that what the prosecutor actually intends is to commission an intelligence expert report, which also has no place in this case.
