The summer of 2025 once again strained Mediterranean cities, especially large coastal cities such as Barcelona, ​​​​Tarragona, and the Costa Brava. This August's heat wave, one of the longest and most intense in recent decades, lasted more than eleven days and left temperatures as high as 43.8°C in municipalities such as Vinebre and Benissanet.

If there's one conversation that's been on everyone's mind these past few weeks, it's about the heat. In Catalonia, temperatures have broken all records this June, resulting in tropical nights and sweltering days. In fact, according to a study by the German company Fischer, which specializes in technical solutions for building fastening, insulation, and energy efficiency, one in five Spaniards feels unsafe in their home during heat waves, and this figure rises to one in three for families with babies.

"Work while others sleep. Study while others play. Persist while others rest. And then, you'll live what others dream of." "Men don't have time to sit and cry uncontrollably, deal with their feelings, be sad, or be depressed." "You'll be alone; that's the phase every winner has had in their life." These are the messages that more and more young people are receiving through social media. And behind a cover of personal motivation lies a dangerous message.
