This is Barça’s economic plan to sign Julián Álvarez

FC Barcelona is a walking paradox when it comes to the state of its economy. The signals it sends are those of a club with a tight budget when it comes to increasing resources for certain areas (women’s football, basketball, and other sections), but at the same time, it has not only just signed a forward like Anthony Gordon for 70 million euros plus 10 million in variables for its men’s football team, but it also does not rule out acquiring the services of Julián Álvarez, another offensive player for whom Atlético is asking 150 million. Everything has an explanation, although not without risks.

They carve up a building in Barcelona into illegal 20m2 tourist flats: “I’ve never been in a shabbier place”

Inspectors from Barcelona City Council uncovered a complex of at least 31 illegal tourist flats set up at number 441 Travessera de Gràcia, just a few meters from the modernist complex of Sant Pau hospital. “Ours, if we’re lucky, is twenty square meters – a few customers explained this Friday at the building’s entrance –. The truth is, it’s the shabbiest place I’ve ever stayed.” “Are they illegal apartments?

The most unexpected literary success of the summer

Laura Autonell (Taradell, 1963) had been writing all her life, like many people, without many pretensions.

It’s as if I had remarried, but to literature,” she says, because from that loss first came a self-published novel, Un polsim de sal, and recently a novel that in a few weeks has established itself among the bestsellers thanks to word of mouth, La Llibreria de les Hores Mortes (Columna), alongside authors like Regina Rodríguez Sirvent, Gil Pratsobrerroca, Siri Hustvedt or even Homer himself with the new Catalan translation of his Odyssey.
