There are those in the Valencian PP who are outraged these days by the methods that Génova has deployed regarding the future of the party in the Valencian Community. In reality, it has almost always been the norm. I say this in light of the uncertainty that has settled due to the suspicious delay…
Renting in Valencia is already so expensive that the latest survey by the Valencian Community Real Estate Association (ASICVAL) states that 13.9% of tenants choose to share housing and 12% resort to renting rooms. And yet the survey says that the trend “has moderated,” because a year ago it represented 31.8%. These are those who still resist and look in the city, but there are many others who leave the municipality to find that accommodation that meets their needs and not just their desires, since according to Valencian real estate agents, price is also the main reason why 28.4% of tenants are forced to expand their search outside the main urban centers. They add that those who share housing without family ties are 33.4% of tenants, when a year ago they represented 19.3%, almost double.
If a courtroom causes some discomfort to any adult – being an environment that is not very friendly at first glance – imagine for children and adolescents. There are doctrinal studies that offer recommendations to make that space more welcoming for them, but the Departament de Justícia de la Generalitat – in coordination with the Drets Socials – has wanted to go one step further. How? By creating a practical guide, in the civil field, for the hearing of children and adolescents in family judicial proceedings.
Despite the perception that investment companies dominate the buying and selling of homes in Barcelona, the data shows that the vast majority of transactions in the Catalan capital are still carried out by individuals. According to a report prepared by the Cambra de la Propietat Urbana de Barcelona with data from the Notary Statistical Portal, individuals accounted for 87% of the sales registered in 2025, compared to 13% signed by legal entities. Last week, the Parliament gave the green light to urgently process the restriction on the purchase of homes in pressured areas unless it is to reside, for a family member, or to rent it out residentially, with the aim of avoiding real estate speculation by funds.
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.
