Two Serious News 🇪🇸
There is justice in the world! The government will inspect 7 budget airlines for violations of their policies for charging passengers for carry-on baggage and seat selection, as well as for advertising ticket prices online. They will face serious fines for serious violations.

Where do you go to sunbathe and lie down if you don't want to touch another person's elbows?
You probably already know about Barceloneta and Vila Olímpica. These city beaches are centrally located and easy to get to, but in summer they are crowded.
Be like the locals! Go to beaches further away from the center or out of town. For example, Badalona has 6 kilometers of beaches. It's easy to get here by train or metro and there aren't huge crowds.
Or you can get to the beach of Bogatell (Playa de Bogatell). It has a beautiful promenade, bars, sun loungers, volleyball courts and other summer activities.
Where do you go to swim, sunbathe, and bask in the sun?

A simple sugar doughnut costs 1.80 €, and a slightly more expensive one with fillings. For example, a doughnut covered in white chocolate and filled with pistachio cream costs 2,50€. You can find doughnuts in some supermarkets (e.g. Sorli Discau) and coffee shops (La Papa). Cuvo will soon be available at Glovo.

Two News Tuesday 🇪🇸
Authorities have lifted work restrictions for Uber and Cabify. It was introduced in response to protests by cab drivers unhappy with the fact that the drivers of the services enjoy great advantages. Now a court has ruled that the restriction contradicts EU law. So expect more Uber cars and driver strikes.
On June 20, 24 and 26, during the first days of the sale, there will be strikes by H&M workers. They are demanding wage increases and job cuts, a similar situation was at Inditex at the beginning of the year. Then the company raised wages by 20%.

The world's best restaurant elBulli reopens... in museum format
It was voted the best restaurant in the world several times before it closed more than 10 years ago. It is located in a bay in north-eastern Spain. The museum has been named 'elBulli1846', the name is a reference to the 1846 dishes that, according to chef Ferran Adrià, were developed here.
The museum will open on 16 June, 12 years after the last meal served at the restaurant. There will be photographs, notebooks, awards and replicas of dishes made from plastic.
Under Adria's leadership, elBulli has earned the coveted three Michelin stars and has been voted best restaurant in the world five times by British magazine The Restaurant.
The restaurant operated for six months of the year, during the second half of the year, the staff came up with the dishes. In the final years of the restaurant's operation, demand for reservations was so high that Adria distributed seats mainly through a lottery.

Some news by this hour 🇪🇸
Renfe has allowed dogs weighing up to 40 kg on AVE trains from Madrid to Alicante and from Madrid to Valencia. The rule goes into effect for the first route on June 19 and for the second on June 26. The company also provides a travel kit (including a seat cover and floor mat), which must be picked up at the station at least 40 minutes before boarding.
The city has begun demolishing Camp Nou Stadium and will build a new stadium in its place. It will be roomier, safer, more comfortable and modern.
What are we doing in the shadows? Not much, because there aren't a lot of places in the city with comfortable shade. That's why the city council recently announced a competition to find innovative solutions for creating shade in public spaces. It's open to individuals, companies, or foundations.

It's all good coffee and pastries, food for vegans, and the interior is minimalist, with wood and warm lighting.

Keep in mind: this is not the only branch, there are several. Also open in Madrid, Seville, Valencia and San Sebastian.

If you haven't been to the Marsella Bar yet, it's a sign to stop by ✨
Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway drank absinthe here. It's one of the city's oldest bars, where the scene for the movie «Vicky Cristina Barcelona» was filmed, and a must-see. A real time machine to the past!
