Hola! Tuesday's news 📅
Public transportation is becoming more and more comfortable: The first electric bus started running in Seville. It's easier to get in with a stroller, it charges quickly, rides quieter, safer and doesn't pollute the air. We're waiting for one of these in Barcelona!
This summer the San Adria de Besos beach will open. It has been closed for 2 years because of heavy metals found on the surface of the water. In April, the beach will begin to be cleaned and decontaminated, and by the end of July, the fences, which have already become part of the landscape, will be removed.
Yesterday most flights between Spain and Germany were cancelled because of the largest strike by railroad and airport workers. International airports in Frankfurt and Munich were not working and Deutsche Bahn trains were disrupted. Whether transportation will be disrupted today is not yet known, but keep in mind.

Wednesday News 🇪🇸
A Samsung ad on a cathedral in Barcelona continues to motivate people to argue and make negative comments on the World Wide Web. The fact that Samsung is funding the restoration only complicates things. Some residents think that despite the funding, advertising should not be so aggressive, and some think that in this case the end justifies the means.
Remember the news about that tourism in Spain is back to pre-covid numbers? The country now needs more than 60,000 additional workers in the hospitality industry. The industry is now short of workers, and in January alone Spain welcomed 4.1 million foreign tourists, a 65.8 percent increase over the same period last year.
Airport staff strikes in Spain, which began Feb. 27 and will last until at least April 13, will affect travel during Semana Santa. Airplane service, checks and baggage drop-offs are now taking longer. So if you're flying somewhere, get to the airport early.

Brief Thursday News ⚡️
The Spanish government will spend 200 million euros to fight child poverty. The money will be distributed throughout the country and used to support families, local social services and improve access to healthcare. €15 million will be spent on the School Vacation Program (VECA), which provides summer camps and cultural activities for vulnerable children, and ensures healthy and balanced meals during the holidays.
Due to the heat and dryness, the fire continues to destroy forests, and fires started yesterday in the north. About 1,400 residents do not leave their homes, 4,700 hectares of forest have been destroyed, and at least 8 villages have been affected. The work of firefighters is complicated by strong winds and lack of rain.
This year, Spain expects a record tourist flow. According to authorities, the flow of travel-starved travelers into the country will break records of previous years, exceeding even pre-pandemic figures. In summer, prices can rise by 20%, and hotels will be 90% full.

Hey, here's Friday's news ⚡️
The first and third lines of the subway have been updated with new trains, and they will replace the entire old fleet in the coming months. Don't miss the chance to catch metro trains at their best!
The Spanish startup Troop, which develops solutions to optimize the planning of corporate meetings and events, was awarded 10 million euros. Tropp helps companies save on meeting costs, travel time and planning. The company plans to use the money to expand the platform and launch a new product.
Inditex is changing the company's image to attract more target-oriented customers. The company is raising prices, putting more money into flagship stores and closing smaller ones. And reinforcing the stance that «Zara sells fashion, not just clothes», has allowed the company to be profitable in an inflationary storm as well.

One of the best things about this site is that it lists exact salaries, hours, and how to send your resume.

Today we have a festival announcement. Spain! 🇪🇸
The Seville April Fair will be held at Los Remedios in Seville from April 23-29. It usually begins two weeks after Holy Week or Easter week. It is dedicated to Andalusian culture, and usually the entire week of the fair is spent dancing, drinking, eating and socializing. And what about the holiday parades!
From April 22 to 24, there will be Moros y Cristianos (literally, it translates to «Moors and Christians»), a set of festival events that are celebrated in many cities in Spain, mostly in the southern Valencian community. The celebration takes the form of a bright, noisy and colorful parade with dancing, horses and battle reenactments
A couple of useful links:

Hello, Monday News 💪
Spain is the third EU country in which most households are behind on their rent or mortgage payments. Rising home prices without an increase in income have caused many to have tremendous difficulty paying. This financial overload has affected 4 out of 10 families with children.
Users named Spanish bank CaixaBank the worst company of 2022. Vodafone and energy company Endesa were also ranked as the best of the worst. The bank was nominated for the first time, and the company receiving the award most often was Movistar.
A little rain and wind helped bring the wildfires under control.

One way to save on travel in Spain
The Spanish government continues to give away free rail tickets. The program was supposed to end in the spring, but it has been extended until August 31!
You can get a free ticket at the ticket offices in the stations, in the machines, in the Renfe Cercanías app or online. You will need to leave a deposit of 10€ for short distance tickets and 20€ for long distance tickets. The deposit will be refunded if the pass is used for 16 or more trips. Isn't that extra motivation to explore the cities around you? The offer does not apply to fast trains.
