We have looked at how immigrants are distributed in Catalonia, with data by counties, municipalities, and census districts, to see if there are areas at risk of segregation.

A couple of months ago, Núria went to renew her driver's license. She had passed the test ten years ago, and it was due to expire at the beginning of the year. What set her apart from the rest of the users queuing up to pass a reflex test was that she hadn't been able to drive a real car for some time. "I'm embarrassed to admit it, but imagining myself behind the wheel makes me anxious. I don't understand why it's so hard for me. It's something everyone can do!" she confesses.

Almost four hours by car from Barcelona and two more from the city of Lleida. The ski resort of Boí Taüll, in Alta Ribagorça, is always far from everywhere. Its promoters call it an overnight resort because few people dare to go for just one day. "Today I have a holiday and I decided to come for a few hours," says a resident of Barcelona, ​​a police officer by profession, who will spend more hours behind the wheel of the car than on skis. "But it's worth it, because on days like today there are no crowds on the slopes and we can ski better than ever," he says.

The rental housing market in Girona is insufficient to meet demand. This is the case in the metropolitan area and generally throughout the district. According to the property portal Idealista, Girona is the second capital of the State, after Vitoria, where a flat is rented most quickly: 29% of those offered are not even on the market for 24 hours. And many flats are not even advertised. "When we have a vacant flat, it is practically not advertised because most of the time the tenant who leaves is already brought by a friend or acquaintance who is looking for a flat to rent, so we already have it committed," explains Joan Company, president of the Girona Association of Real Estate Agents and director of Ceigrup Finques Company.

Last year, GAP, the Ponent Agricultural and Livestock Management cooperative, which brings together 160 farmers from Les Garrigues and Pla d'Urgell, treated more than 70,000 tonnes of surplus slurry (pig manure) at the Tracjusa plant in Juneda. It still does so today with cogeneration, a system that uses natural gas to evaporate the water from the slurry. After a quarter of a century in operation, at the end of this year the plant will stop receiving subsidies for its operation and will no longer be profitable. After years of searching for a way out, farmers have thought that their best option is to use the current facilities to continue drying slurry through a new system, gasification. This involves producing steam from recovered fuel, mostly urban waste. These are the famous CDRs, provided by the Griñó Group (now associated with GAP). CDRs are waste that cannot be recycled and are converted into fuel here. The plant will handle 45,000 tons of RDF per year, which many consider an aberration, because it means treating the garbage produced in cities in Juneda. But without this garbage, there would not be a sufficiently profitable source of heat. Of course, it will be Catalan garbage (from the metropolitan area), they say at the GAP, in response to Griñó's controversial investigation into possible illegal trafficking of Italian garbage.

The smell of sesame, caramel, chocolate and nuts sweetened with honey invites passersby to enter the small bakery named after the Syrian city of Palmyra. This establishment has taken its name from Syria, the taste of its traditional cakes and the kindness and generosity of its people. Kind and generous is the Syrian refugee Ahmad Basal, 26 years old, who gives smiles and gives out cakes to taste to everyone who enters the bakery that he has just opened on Ballesteries street in Girona. It is the Syrian way of doing things, says Ahmad, and it is also a way of thanking the help he has received from the people here, who, as he never tires of repeating, have allowed him to rebuild his life and believe again in his dreams, cut short by the war.
