The launch of a limited edition Swatch watch collection in collaboration with Audemars Piguet has caused crowds, police interventions, and the preventive closure of establishments in Barcelona, but also in the United Kingdom.
It is well known that to rectify is wise. And therefore it is right that the Departament d’Interior finally apologizes for the infiltration of two Mossos d’Esquadra agents in teachers’ assemblies. The problem is that the admission of guilt comes late, after…
The Andic family has shown strong support this Tuesday for the decision of the eldest son of the family, Jonathan Andic, to temporarily leave the vice presidency of the textile empire Mango to focus on defending himself against the homicide charge against him. The case investigates the death of the group’s founder, Isak Andic, in a fall during a walk with his son in Montserrat in December 2024.
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.
The Director General of the National Police, Francisco Pardo, has informed the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, that “there is no police report whatsoever” attributing to Morocco the planning or execution of what happened on July 30 and 31 in Ceuta, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Interior.
London’s Shakespeare’s Globe has embraced flamenco to reinvent one of William Shakespeare’s most sophisticated comedies, ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ (1598), in a production that combines Elizabethan verse, singing, and dancing with a cast that includes several Spanish artists.
The President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and the leader of Esquerra Republicana, Oriol Junqueras, led this Monday the presentation event of the orbital railway line in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. This is the network project that will go from Vilanova i la Geltrú to Mataró without passing through Barcelona and will have an investment from the State of 5.2 billion euros. This pact between socialists and republicans represents the first step to stage a budget agreement that, if everything is fulfilled, will be signed tomorrow.
It is surprising to visit with today’s eyes the “journalists’ chalets” of the past, those single-family homes, with outdoor vegetation, terraces, and a modernist air that the architect Enrique Viedma (València, 1889-1959) built in 1935 next to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in the capital of the Túria. Single-family homes, with a lobby, living room, kitchen, three or four bedrooms, outdoor patio, and a privileged location next to the Viveros gardens that were designed for the Press Association. Looking at them with the eyes of a city now besieged by the real estate crisis, which tears its seams, raises its prices, and expels its neighbors, is even more surprising.
There are very few jazz musicians left who deserve to be considered giants. After the death, early this morning, of saxophonist Sonny Rollins, the representation of the golden era of the genre is limited to figures such as pianist Herbie Hancock (Chicago, 1940) or the…
The first time Felipe de Borbón entered the grounds of Lakefield College School (LCS), located in the Canadian town of the same name in the province of Ontario, 160 kilometers north of Toronto, he was a 16-year-old teenager, whom his parents, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía, had sent with the purpose of distancing him from a protective environment and so that he could interact with other young people. This Thursday, the then young prince, whom his classmates called Flip, returned to the classrooms where he studied the equivalent of COU, and although he carried with him his status as King of Spain, he did so as an alumnus, acknowledging that that first experience away from home marked his early youth.
