A minor has lost her life this Sunday and a 24-year-old young woman has been seriously injured due to a rockfall from the walls of the pools in the Fontcalda gorges, an inland bathing area in the municipality of Gandesa (Terra Alta) in Tarragona.
Behind every great chef are years in the kitchens of others, learning, observing, and waiting for the moment to finally have their own kitchen. But, making the leap from cooking others’ ideas to leading a restaurant is the most difficult step in the profession. A barrier that has surely caused us to miss the chance to discover the vision of great talents.
“‘I don’t run. I jog! That is, I walk fast,” Miquel Pucurull says with a smile. At 87 years old, he still goes out every morning to jog about six kilometers through the streets of Barcelona. His urban route starts on Llança street, where he lives, then continues along Tarragona street, Josep Tarradellas avenue, and up to El Corte Inglés on the Diagonal, and then back. He only rests one day a week.
The bulls from the Miura ranch starred this Monday in a seventh run of the San Fermín festivities that was fast and clean, with no horn injuries, with five bulls very close together throughout the route and a sixth a few meters behind after falling in Mercaderes.
All societies, explains British economist Tim Jackson (1957), cling to a myth by which they live. Ours is the myth of growth. Eternal growth that one day will solve all our problems. It is useful, he admits, when you have little. But in excess it begins to cause imbalances. “Human prosperity has to do above all with health,” he points out. And he believes that the myth of growth, driven by male economists who have focused on productivity, efficiency, and the invisible hand of the market, and who have left aside the “invisible heart of society,” the poorly paid work of women, has failed. Jackson, author of Post-Growth and emeritus at the University of Surrey, thinks it is time to change it. He publishes L’economia de la cura (Arcàdia), which will appear in Spanish at Paidós in October.
When she received the proposal to star in The Queen’s Gambit, Anya Taylor-Joy had already developed an interesting career in which she had managed to divide her work between the two screens. In fact, her debut was in an episode of the British series Endeavour a year before she starred in The Witch for Robert Eggers, an independent film success that served as a springboard while she was also seen in her first regular role in Atlantis, another English series.
Predictive markets are experiencing a great boom. Platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi have gained enormous popularity and are increasingly occupying more space in public conversation and in the media. A growth that has also caught the attention of regulators and lawmakers around the world.
Models, plaster models, tools, ropes, rolls of paper, plans, notes, books… The photographs that have been preserved of Gaudí’s office and workshop in the Sagrada Família give an idea of the intensity of the work carried out there by the architect and his collaborators. A workshop that expanded as needs grew and in which Gaudí would end up living the last months of his life. Those photographs and the little that could be saved from the fire that in 1936 burned the entire space have served to continue the works of the basilica and now also to recover a small part of that suggestive workspace.
The new CUPRA Raval is not just another 100% electric urban vehicle. Its arrival on the market represents a true revolution and the beginning of a new era. Electrification is combined with exceptional dynamic performance that brings excitement to the segment, a spacious cabin and trunk despite being only four meters long, a striking style, equipment features typical of higher segments, and multiple customization options.
The Japanese have celebrated this Sunday the traditional Enoshima Tenno Festival in the city of Fujisawa, one of the most emblematic summer festivities in the region.
