I interview Joan Junyent (Sitges, 1973) at his restaurant, Windsor (c. Córcega, 286). Customers who have just enjoyed the Catalunya menu congratulate him on the idea and leave enthusiastically through the automatically opening door. The warm reception of the menu, which he launched last September, has led him to extend it for several more months into 2026; in fact, he's considering keeping it available year-round. He conceived it to coincide with World Gastronomy Region, but, as a staunch advocate of Catalan cuisine, Joan wants to keep it going. Considering the number of dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients, the value for money is unbeatable: it costs €69.

This afternoon, our ears will be ringing because Sánchez and German Chancellor Merz are meeting in Moncloa Palace. The big question will be the EU's position on Gaza. Germany finds it difficult to take a stand against Israel due to a guilty conscience about the Nazi concentration camps, while Sánchez, out of conviction and self-interest, He was one of the first to speak about genocideBut at one point during the meeting, they'll discuss the official status of Catalan in Europe. Spain supports it because it's an agreement between Junts and the PSOE, and Germany is against it.

William of Wales does not know Welsh. This is the sad reality of the 42-year-old man who knew from birth that he would end up occupying the position of Prince of Wales until he became King of the United Kingdom, a position for which that language should also be, by the way, indispensable. It is hard to believe that for more than four decades in Buckingham no one has had the multinational sensitivity to think that it would not be bad if the first-born son of King Charles III made this part of his subjects feel at least somewhat good when he went to visit them or when he gave them a speech. But we are where we are and that has not happened anymore. From now on, only patches can be made that, who knows, perhaps in the long run they will even end up working. What is clear at the moment is that his level of Welsh has not caught on much among those who speak it.

On February 13, 2005, Madrid woke up in shock: the Windsor building, an emblematic skyscraper of the city, had burned down completely. What had happened? How did the fire start? After a media-driven investigation, the official version determined that the flames had originated on the 21st floor due to a cigarette that had been poorly extinguished in a wastepaper basket. This version has been the subject of conspiracies over the years and now its days could be numbered. This Monday Jon Imanol Sapieha Candela, alias The Toad, one of the most famous thieves in Spain, claimed in an interview on Cuatro that he had started the Windsor fire.
