Abelardo De la Espriella, the controversial tiger who has made a swipe in the elections of Colombia

“Prison or death,” repeated over and over in his rallies Abelardo de la Espriella, a controversial 47-year-old lawyer, to refer to the fate that awaits criminals, drug traffickers, and guerrillas if he ends up being the next president of Colombia. It hardly matters that the far-right leader built a media career as a lawyer for celebrities, footballers, and paramilitaries, before having an epiphany in Italy and deciding that he should enter the electoral arena to save his country from the left, according to his words, in July 2025.

The most exclusive houses in Mallorca, owned by artists and creatives, from Sybilla to James Costos

The most exclusive houses in Mallorca, owned by artists and creatives, from Sybilla to James Costos

It’s not an exaggeration to say that almost everything happens in Mallorca. Because, as photographer Ricardo Labougle observes, the largest of the Balearic Islands “is almost like a continent.” The truth is that the island has mountains that are covered in snow in winter and turquoise water beaches that are nothing to envy those of the Caribbean. In addition to cliffs, bays, capes, valleys, plains, tiny villages, and cities as splendid as Palma. But above all, Mallorca, as Labougle points out, “possesses an exceptional cultural richness, the fruit of a legacy of centuries of invasions and different inhabitants. It has always been the richest and most important of the archipelago and its architectural identity is a world apart: Palma, dominated by its great Gothic cathedral. The feudal ‘possessions’. The monasteries, such as Valldemossa and Lluc. The gardens… The feeling is that the entire Mediterranean has passed through there,” explains the photographer in a telephone conversation with the Magazine.

La Mierla: desolation and outrage over one of Spain’s biggest fires

Desolation permeates the Sierra Norte Natural Park, in Guadalajara, which since last Friday (six days!) has been devoured by flames. More than 32,000 hectares have burned (these are estimates; until it is extinguished, the burned area cannot be reliably verified, forest agents clarify), a good part of one of Spain’s most beautiful and unknown natural spaces, mainly due to its proximity to Madrid, which always turns nearby regions into transit areas.
