More than 500,000 tickets have been sold in record time, with all 11 concerts expected to be sold out, turning the Iberdrola Music venue into a tribute to Latin music.
The orthodoxy across much of the world has been that only markets should decide what things cost, as argued by influential economists like Friedrich Hayek.
For years, Americans had a handful of "soft" ways to stay in Spain longer than a normal vacation, or to turn a property purchase into a residency plan. Spain did not slam the door shut. But it did remove shortcuts, tighten the math, and make border time much easier to track.
Our position has been very clear from Day 1. The facts are clear. The Spanish government is not going to authorize the use of the bases in Rota and Moron for these military actions. No single country should act as a guardian of the world. We have international rules.
Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott [Bessent] to cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain, first of all, it started when every European nation, at my request, paid 5%, which they should be doing and everybody was enthusiastic about it, Germany, everybody, and Spain didn't do it.
When Spain's King Juan Carlos fell over and broke his hip while on an elephant hunt with a girlfriend in Botswana in 2012, he probably thought that Spaniards would accept this as a minor gaffe after a lifetime of public service. The monarch had, after all, weathered numerous scandals, including a string of extramarital affairs and investigations into his family's financial affairs, during the previous 37 years of his reign.
The board, which had echoes of Ireland's notorious Magdalene laundries, was overseen by Carmen Polo, the wife of the dictator Gen Francisco Franco. Originally founded in 1902 to stamp out sex work, in 1941, two years after the end of the Spanish civil war, its role was extended to clamp down on female behaviour that deviated from norms laid down by the Catholic church.
"Madrid "is on fire", said Eduardo Corda, founder of estate agency Mi Piso en Madrid, which specialises in high-end properties. Spain's most populous city has become "a leading city to invest and live in", and house hunters with deep pockets want "to be a part of this boom", Corda told AFP. The city has topped for the second year running an annual index by the real estate firm Barnes, considered a reference to measure investor appetite in luxury properties."
MADRID - The most famous portrait of Maruja Mallo depicts the artist covered from head to toe in seaweed. She is crowned and draped with long, rope-like strands of kelp, her arms raised triumphantly like an all-powerful marine goddess. This unconventional photograph, snapped in 1945 by the poet Pablo Neruda on a Chilean beach, was no doubt carefully orchestrated by the Spanish artist, who viewed herself as an extension of her unique work, where female energy is a conduit for natural and even cosmic forces.
After acknowledging that maintaining this link currently requires great patience and diplomatic courage, in an implicit reference to the unpredictable and arbitrary behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump, Felipe VI stressed that it is an indispensable framework [] that emerged from the ashes of the Second World War and has fostered the flourishing of democracies, stability, growth, and the development of multilateralism.
Some say we've gone too far, that we're going against the current, he said. But I would like to ask you, when did recognising rights become something radical? When did empathy become something exceptional? It comes days after the Socialist-led coalition government approved a decree that it said would regularise half a million people. The initiative, expected to come into effect in April, made headlines around the world for its rejection of the anti-migration policies and rhetoric seen across much of Europe and the US.
After losing his left arm in a farming accident, Joel Caceda struggles to work delivering packages. His tough job is typical of many that migrants are forced to take when they arrive in Spain without any legal papers. So, the 30-year-old Peruvian welcomed the news that Spain plans to regularise about 500,000 undocumented migrants, in a break with harsh policies on immigration elsewhere in Europe, in countries like Denmark, Germany and Austria, and in the United States.
Spain will provide a legal pathway for residency for migrants already living in the country. Spain's government will grant legal status to undocumented migrants currently living in the country. The decree, passed after years of grassroots campaigning, will potentially impact about 500,000 migrants and comes in stark contrast to the anti-immigration sentiment in other EU countries. Why has the Spanish government decided to embrace its migrant population now?
announced five measures aimed at ending impunity for socialmedia platforms and their executives, and at protecting minors from their harmful effects. Musk quoted on his platform a post in which Sanchez outlined his proposals, using it as an opportunity to hurl those insults at him. He also referred to him as Dirty Sanchez a reference to a coprophilic sexual act adding a poop emoji.
His initial reaction was blunt, reflecting fatigue with the constant speculation surrounding the matter. Responding to the question, Capello said, "What do you want me to say?" The Italian coach then shifted the focus away from Barcelona and towards his own experiences during his time at Real Madrid, framing the conversation through the lens of sporting achievement under pressure. "They tried to stop us, but they didn't succeed. They couldn't do it."
