There was a moment during the journey when my daughter would bounce out of her car seat. She has matured and understands that this is natural. It's who we are. It's our character, our identity, our culture. Accepting ourselves is a form of love. We feel it when we pass that exact, precise, unique point on the A-2 that tells you you're entering the "provinceFrom Lleida, the asphalt changes. You smile: we're home now. Immediately, you're doing space capsule-style pirouettes, dancing the twist in space, and inside you're an astronaut with ill-fitting dentures, a gravitational slave. The tremor of truth.

Patience will be the best ally for users of the R3 commuter trains in the next 16 months, the deadline that Renfe and Adif have set for completing the infrastructure improvement works and the extension of the last remaining single-track line. The works, budgeted at 210 million euros, will cause inconveniences due to service interruptions and the need to combine trains and buses to cover the section between L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Puigcerdà and the Tor de Querol. The impact will begin on Saturday, October 4, and will continue, if all goes well and the planned schedule is met, until January 2027. To prevent the journeys from becoming even more of a daily nightmare for the more than 20,000 affected commuters, buses will be running to cover the cancelled sections, and also...

In June, it took its toll on Barcelona's kindergartens: faults in the air conditioning systems have multiplied the effects of the heat in the classrooms, where in many cases temperatures reached almost thirty degrees. The inability to respond to this problem, beyond distributing penguins—portable air conditioners—to the affected centers, has forced the City Council to process an emergency plan to address it.

The new Josep Trueta Hospital is expected to be the major urban development project for the Girona region in the 21st century. It involves the construction of a large hospital center on the border between Girona and Salt, with cutting-edge technology to meet the needs of the entire population of the health region, as well as a research campus to incentivize research and retain local university talent. After more than 20 years of delays, unfulfilled promises, and disputes between administrations, the Salt City Council, the Girona City Council, and the Generalitat de Catalunya finally reached an agreement in the summer of 2020. final agreement on the land and location of the project. It will be built at the southern entrance to the city, on plots of land measuring around 305,000 m² (288,500 of which belong to the municipality of Salt and 16,500 to Girona), opposite the Santa Caterina Hospital, between the motorway and the Masrocs stream. As is customary with these infrastructures, the two local councils involved are responsible for providing the land and preparing the access points, while the Generalitat (Catalan government) is responsible for carrying out the work, which will cost more than €500 million.

A new obstacle has come up in the launch of the Barcelona metropolitan area's new T-Mobilitat transport ticket. Monday's euphoria over the launch of the new website that allows travellers to register and acquire the new transport ticket has lasted under 48 hours. The Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) has had to quickly correct a serious security loophole that has exposed – from the start – personal data of thousands of users who registered on the website to order their new transport card.

The El Prat expansion project derailed a week ago and a notary was needed to certify its death. This role has been assumed this Wednesday by the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez: "The government parks the expansion project of El Prat"; he said. The subject of his sentence, it goes without saying, was the Spanish executive. Sanchez, however, has again insisted that the cause of this decision is the same that the Minister of Transport, Raquel Sanchez, made last Thursday, when she announced by surprise that the work on El Prat was suspended: the lack of consensus with the Generalitat, a consensus seen as essential. "There is not a mature position in the Generalitat in favour of the extension", she added.
