Spain’s 2-0 victory over France, which secured their qualification for the World Cup final, also left one of the most unexpected scenes off the field. Ana Botín, Juan Roig, and IShowSpeed met at the Dallas stadium and had a conversation that quickly went viral.
Marina Vilalta, the longest-serving active shepherdess in Catalonia, passed away early this morning at the age of 99. Born in Ogassa (Ripollès), she lived in the Bruguera area, in Ribes de Freser, where until a few days ago she still took her flock to graze.
Journalists tell me that they continue reporting from Ceuta a month and a half later and that the situation in the city is still “tremendous” and that they end every day “with their stomachs upset.” They tell me that it is true that every day there are fewer people “lying” in the streets, because…
To the complexity of the investigation into the death of businessman Isak Andic, a new element was added this Wednesday. The judge of Martorell Raquel Nieto has asked the Mossos d’Esquadra to investigate “the existence of a third person who directly or indirectly participated in the events.” And that third person is J.L., an Ecuadorian therapist who resides in Germany and periodically travels to Barcelona to consult with several families in the city, including, for many years, practically all members of the Andic family, from the deceased, through his children and their mother.

We will see, but his progression is there.
Petanque is a supposedly peaceful game between two or more people who take turns throwing their balls with the aim of getting them closer than their opponents to the jack. It is not a particularly noisy activity, as the clinking of the balls does not cause loud noises, nor does it usually generate big commotions, rivalries aside.
