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.

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's 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

Hola! 😏
Big Brother on vacation: 4 beaches in Marbella will have cameras that will analyze water quality, UV radiation and beach occupancy, and the information collected will be available to everyone in an app. It will be possible to find out the exact weather and solar radiation index, Marbella will be the first city with such a beach innovation.
Flights prices this year will increase by about 5.5%. For example, a flight UK > Spain will cost 18€, according to travel experts. The reasons: high fuel costs and stricter regulations on carbon emissions.
Forest fires in Murcia will now be monitored by plane. It does this every year, but because of the drought and unseasonably warm weather, it will have to go on duty earlier than usual, on April 16. Four separate fires broke out in 2 days in the region.

Tuesday's digest 📅
🛳 Authorities and residents of Barcelona are struggling with port authorities. The reason for the struggle is cruise ships bringing huge numbers of tourists to the city while most of the city is still asleep. Last Monday five liners arrived in town, and this Monday as many as eight will be arriving.
Crowds of walking tourists does not help the city to combat overtourism, so the authorities plan to limit the number of tourists a month (up to 200 thousand) and arriving liners (up to three per day). Until then, residents will have to fight for a place in the sun with 25 thousand tourists exploring the city's streets.
🔥 Asturias is gripped by a new wave of forest fires. Five people are suspected of setting fires. The head of the region Barbon has called those responsible for starting the fires «terrorists» and vowed they would face time in prison.
