Two years ago, Dr. Alberto Breda (Verona, 1973) successfully performed a transcontinental robotic surgery between Bordeaux and Beijing. The president of the Robotic Surgery Unit (ERUS) of the European Association of Urology remotely removed a kidney tumor from over 8,000 kilometers away, a medical milestone that laid the groundwork for Europe's first robotic telesurgery program, which is just getting started. This system connects the Puigvert Foundation in Barcelona and the San Roque Hospital in Las Palmas, 3,000 kilometers apart, allowing surgeons to operate on patients from the Canary Islands from the Catalan capital.

The arrival of capital in search of hotels in Barcelona does not stop. The restrictions of the pandemic have placed many establishments in a desperate situation and this is being taken advantage of by funds to hunt for assets at low prices. The latest establishment looking to sell is the Barcelona Apollo Hotel, operated by Meliá on Avinguda Paral·lel.
