Ferran Torres' goal is worth a race and changes many lives

Ferran Torres’ goal is worth a race and changes many lives

From Iniesta to Ferran Torres. From Don Andrés to Mr. Ferran. From Fuentealbilla to Foios. From the right boot to the left boot. From the Jabulani to the Trionda. From Johannesburg to New York. From one Barça player to another blaugrana footballer. The second half of extra time was red again. Although the Manchego genius scored dressed in blue. He was looking for a successor to the person who stitched the first star on the crest and found it in the Valencian forward. A golden thread will unite them forever. So often debated but he always ends up sticking his head out, being the protagonist, making the headlines. The story is his. Ferran II, superstar.

The neighbors of four buildings affected by the Sant Gervasi sinkhole will not be able to return home until September

It has been three weeks since the ground gave way at the back of the Verona pizzeria, on Teodora Lamadrid street in the upper area of Barcelona. Half of the affected neighbors, those who live closest to the sinkhole, still have not been able to return home, and this Friday, on the eve of August, they learned the news that some of them will not be able to do so at least until September due to the appearance of new “structural” cracks linked to the passage of the L9 metro tunnel boring machine heading towards Lesseps. Meanwhile, dump trucks of cement bags pile up around the Sant Gervasi market to continue covering the enormous hole of the restaurant, beneath which runs one of the streams descending from Collserola.

The prestigious Catalan luthier who saw his career threatened by a rare disease

The prestigious Catalan luthier who saw his career threatened by a rare disease

“Dying didn’t matter to me, but stopping making violins…”. The phrase perfectly defines its author, David Bagué (Barcelona, 1964), considered one of the best luthiers in Spain and with the greatest international projection. Beyond having a Creu de Sant Jordi, which is no small thing, the Vienna Philharmonic has three of his instruments (two violins and a cello) and Leonidas Kavakos, one of the best violinists in the world, owns between four and five of his violins. However, at the age of 28 (now he is 61), Bagué began a ordeal that almost took away what he loves most in this life and which is his reason for being: making violins. He was diagnosed with Wegener’s granulomatosis, a rare disease from the group of systemic vasculitis, which recently had its world day.
