The Pope, received with state honors and a mass reception

Pope Leo XIV’s first day in Spain served as an initial contact with Madrid, a devoted city that had been decorated and preparing for the visit for days. After landing at 10:12 AM at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport, he traveled to the Royal Palace in a closed car, and despite this, he could already feel the warm welcome from the people of Madrid, who stood along the margins of the A-2 highway that leads into Madrid to greet him.

Lamine Yamal, about his injury: “I was afraid it was serious and that I would miss the World Cup”

Natural, spontaneous, friendly, uninhibited and also, as he is, a bit playful. For the first time since he got injured against Celta on April 22, Lamine Yamal explained how he experienced the moment he got injured at the Spotify Camp Nou and what he felt in the hours afterward. He does not hide the panic that overwhelmed him at that moment at the possibility of missing the World Cup. After taking and scoring the penalty in which he suffered the injury, Lamine experienced fear. “I remember the sequence in which I got injured. I was praying inside that it was nothing, that it was a cramp or something, because I saw myself very close to the World Cup moment. I was afraid it was very serious or that I could relapse and miss the World Cup,” said the Barcelona forward in statements to the Spanish Federation media.

Restrictions worsen the funding conflict in the Costa Brava

Restrictions worsen the funding conflict in the Costa Brava

La Costa Brava concentrates a large part of the nautical activity of the summer in Catalonia. Between Palamós, Palafrugell, and Begur, about 3,000 boats anchor, according to recent studies. A coastal strip that sustains strong nautical and tourist pressure, with crowded beaches in summer and a multitude of boats that in high season want to anchor in postcard coves. For some time now, some town councils have reduced some anchoring areas, which in the past had become natural shelters for recreational boats on days of garbí, gregal, or tramontana winds. They do so – they explain – basically for reasons of safety for bathers and other users of the aquatic environment and to protect the posidonia beds.

The day actor José Lamuño stopped choosing the shortest path (and discovered something unexpected)

We live surrounded by fast routes. By journeys calculated to the millimeter, packed schedules, algorithms that organize the world without questioning them, and decisions made even before feeling them. Everything pushes forward, towards the immediate, towards that feeling that arriving is the only thing that matters. And in the midst of that pace, something fades without us realizing it. The ability to stop. To look without hurry. To let time happen without needing to measure it.

Jonathan Andic’s therapy involved undergoing an extreme situation on the edge of a cliff

The Mossos d’Esquadra from the Martorell investigation unit have taken a statement, on two occasions, from a British woman resident in Barcelona, aged around fifty, who has been working as an English interpreter for decades and who occasionally collaborated with the therapist of the Andic family, Maria Julia Lüderwaldt. The woman first went to the Catalan police station in Martorell on June 29, accompanied by a lawyer, and for two hours she recounted what she had kept silent about for the last year and a half and which, literally, prevented her from sleeping peacefully.
