Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Juan Jesús Vivas shared a platform this Monday at the Nueva Economía Fórum and addressed the crisis in Ceuta, where more than 70,000 people from Morocco entered at the end of July. In this regard, both have blamed Morocco for what happened, and the leader of the PP was very emphatic.
The sound of muskets and the smell of gunpowder have once again taken over Béznar, in Granada, during the celebration of a tradition that spans nearly five centuries of history.
Artificial intelligence today invades every aspect of technologies that until just a few years ago had never been related to it. There is no manufacturer who prides themselves on attending the IFA fair in Berlin, the most important consumer electronics show in Europe, without AI being present among the functions of their devices, a way to optimally automate multiple functions without the user having to learn new things every time they acquire a device. For that, in most cases, it is necessary for the algorithms to be able to analyze in some detail what they have in front of them. The solution is cameras, which are beginning to be present in practically all types of devices. Eyes for AI.
Munich will be the first city in the European Union where Waymo’s robotaxis, owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent company, will land next year. Their arrival in Europe will begin a few months earlier in London, where the autonomous taxi company has been driving the same cars that will offer the service for a year, but for now driven by professional drivers to train their system. The goal is for the passenger to request the vehicle with a mobile app and for the car to take them to their destination. The scene is already common in 11 cities in the United States and will soon be in another 21. It is also common in China. The technology, and very likely the controversy, are now coming to Europe.
More than 40 years after the last official race at the Jarama circuit in 1981, Madrid returns to the world calendar in grand style. Banco Santander also makes its return, the global official sponsor of Formula 1 since 2025. Before that, there were 20 years of sponsorships of teams and drivers. The world’s top motorsport competition returns to the Spanish capital with the Formula 1 Tag Heuer Gran Premio de España. The event will be held from September 11 to 13 at MADRING, an innovative semi-urban circuit designed around IFEMA Madrid and Valdebebas.
The 2026-27 school year starts this Tuesday in Catalonia in many centers as the previous one ended: with a strike. Despite the request from the consellera Esther Niubó to take a break from the protest for the return to classrooms after the summer break, the unions have decided to maintain the strike, acknowledging that it is a “particularly sensitive” day. Precisely because of this, it is uncertain what the turnout for the protest will be. Some centers have decided not to join the protest to prioritize the reunion of students and the educational community after the summer break. Others, on the other hand, will resume the school year with a strike. Teachers are asking to consolidate the commitments from last spring’s negotiation, more investment in inclusive education, or to increase teaching staff. The heat in classrooms, the boycott by more than half of public centers of the colònies, or the new guidelines on the use of AI are other aspects that will mark a school year expected to be turbulent.
The campus of the Carlos III University of Madrid, in Getafe, woke up this morning with the particular bustle of the first days of the school year. In the cafeteria, it smelled of freshly made toast and grilled croissants, and several waiters were busy serving coffee to professors and veteran students, while the newcomers looked around what, at times, will be an extension of the classrooms during this year. On everyone’s faces, there was excitement and curiosity, as well as some confusion among those who were new to the university. But both those starting and those who have been walking these halls for several years know that this year will be different because Princess Leonor will also be among them. The eldest daughter of the Kings must have noticed that expectation as soon as she arrived, when on the way to the campus she passed by a bus shelter where a well-known online graphic design platform installed days ago the message “Welcome to the uni, Princess.”
On August 12th, millions of citizens mobilized to witness and experience a historic moment: the total eclipse. The Moon came between the Sun and our planet Earth, darkening it for just over a minute. The scientific, social, economic, and…
Love is one of the most beloved books by Theodor Kallifatides (Molaoi, Greece, 1938). However, it had never before been translated into either Spanish or Catalan. Starting September 16, thanks to Galaxia Gutenberg, readers of both languages will also be able to enjoy this contemporary classic that the author first published in Swedish in 1978. “I wrote it many years ago, but it still feels very heartfelt,” he confesses by phone to La Vanguardia days before this long-awaited publication arrives in bookstores. It is the first time he has spoken to a Spanish media outlet about the novel. “It is a book that I think ages well because, as far as love is concerned, for better or worse, human beings have not changed much, as we are still the same as in Greek tragedies,” he reflects. The novel follows Laki Sarris, a man about to turn forty, married to Lena and with a son, who falls madly in love with a woman much younger than him, Li. A relationship that will inevitably have dramatic consequences for his life.
Spain has an increasingly large lobbying club, a sector that the Government now wants to urgently regulate. The companies of the Ibex 35 have their own teams to try to influence the decision-making of politicians, and in recent years around a dozen companies have proliferated mainly in Madrid, dedicated to trying to influence laws for their clients, who are national and international companies. The winner is the one who has a better contact agenda in the ministries and Congress. The problem is that the activity does not have total transparency, which makes the Spanish sector an anomaly in Europe. The first Council of Ministers of the term approved a royal decree-law that must be ratified this month and that today does not have the necessary support.
