The summers? –answers Otilia with a slight gesture of surprise, sitting on a bench at the tremendously historic nougat and horchata shop Planelles Donat in Barcelona–, well, the summers were always like the winters, working, attending to customers. Yes, well, in winter you mainly sell nougats and in summer mainly horchatas, but…”.

Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Three fires in five days. All three started in the municipality of Aiguamúrcia, in Tarragona, and just a few kilometers apart.

The latest proposals from STEPV, the majority union among teachers in non-university public education in the Valencian Community, predict a new school year as intense as the previous one. After holding its National Council, held this Monday in Polinyà de Xúquer, it has decided to carry out a series of measures, some more striking than others, to maintain the reivindicative discourse of last year, in which an indefinite teachers’ strike was carried out in an atmosphere of tense negotiation between the Ministry of Education and the teachers. They explain that theirs is a “progressive, territorialized and sustained strategy,” in which they will combine mobilization, public denunciation, pedagogy with families, and institutional pressure.

Despite everything, Bárbara Sanz remains calm and in good spirits. And it is not easy. The family of this 35-year-old image consultant, married and with three children, including a little girl barely two years old, is going through an ordeal in their own home, in the center of Sabadell. The house of their dreams, a magnificent renovated home that has preserved many of the elements of the original from two centuries ago, was hiding a secret that is disrupting them. A few months ago, they discovered that behind the partition wall of one of the walls in the master bedroom, a colony of bats had taken hold and is growing day by day, with the inconveniences that this entails. Bats are protected animals, and that is why the Generalitat of Catalonia offers them as the only solution to “move house” until the breeding season of the animals ends and they can be safely removed.
