The first time someone hears that Spain exports more perfumes and cosmetics than olive oil, wine, or footwear, the eyebrow raises a little in disbelief. However, the figures are clear: we are the second largest perfume exporter in the world, only behind France, and a cosmetic power that has quietly and almost unnoticed slipped into half the planet, with a presence in 175 markets. Exporting is not a complement, but one of the main engines of the economy and the sector.

One more year we will celebrate what Simone Weil defined as “the supreme mystery of this world” and Jorge Luis Borges, not far from the philosopher’s vision, as “that beautiful mystery that neither psychology nor rhetoric can decipher.” Beauty will once again be the protagonist of the gala that we celebrate every spring at the Thyssen Museum in Madrid to award, among works of art and with artists’ names, the best launches of the year in cosmetics and perfumery

Healthy and sustainable, hiking is an activity that gains followers every day around the world.

In luxury fashion not everything goes and social media makes sure to highlight it when a celebrity wears, and consequently viralizes, a design that borders on bad taste. The latest figure to be the subject of criticism for their wardrobe choice has been the Polish footballer Wojciech Tomasz Szczęsny.

Can you imagine sending a WhatsApp message without touching the phone? Capturing a photograph exactly from the point of view of your own eyes with just a voice command? What until very recently seemed like a scene from science fiction is beginning to quietly settle into everyday life thanks to the new Ray-Ban Meta. An accessory that combines artificial intelligence, camera, sound, and voice control with a clear premise: to make technology stop interrupting moments and simply start accompanying them.

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, but it is not always experienced easily. The drop in estrogen and progesterone marks the end of the reproductive stage and triggers changes that go far beyond the visible: the skin loses density, hydration, and elasticity; hot flashes, sleep disturbances, fatigue, emotional changes, or discomfort associated with intimate aging may appear. It is a complex reality that for years has been addressed in a fragmented way, when many women need precisely the opposite: a more global, specific, and connected perspective with what they feel day to day.

Diving into the life crisis of Bárbara, a screenwriter in her thirties who binges on benzodiazepines and spends a character as honest as cynical in the series Se tiene que morir mucha gente, is the latest feat of actress Anna Castillo (Barcelona, 1993).

A week ago, while thousands of people tried to get close to the doors of the Teatre Grec, Olivia Rodrigo was singing in Barcelona before barely 2,000 guests at a concert organized by Spotify. Outside, hundreds of fans were left without tickets. Inside, Rodrigo celebrated that nine of her songs have surpassed one billion streams and also debuted a new aesthetic stage coinciding with the release of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love. Hours later, the internet had decided that the important thing was neither the concert nor her music. It was her look.

From San Sebastián, where she is shooting a new production, Inma Cuesta answers the call with that mix of closeness and concentration of someone in the middle of filming. Her joining Berlín y la dama del armiño was not part of a calculated strategy, but rather an unexpected intrusion: a proposal that arrived in the last days of the year, when work no longer appears on the immediate horizon and everything seems to shift towards the domestic.
