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.

"It made no sense to build another access to the C-32 in Canet, if there was already one a little further on," says Mercè Girona, spokesperson for the Canet de Mar Environmental Emergency Coordinator (CEAC). This week, the environmentalist residents of CEAC, Preservem el Maresme, and Unió de Pagesos received the news they had long awaited: the new access to the C-32 in Canet de Mar will not go ahead after all. After years of neighborhood mobilizations and a substantial list of objections, the Balearic Government has decided to back down and has removed this infrastructure project from the package of works that will soon be put out to tender, which includes plans for five other new access points to the highway in the Maresme region. "We had a meeting in September where they already told us, but we waited for them to make it official with the town councils as well," explains Girona. Now, the final step remains: for the decision to be put in writing. "This will be around Christmas, when the resolutions regarding the appeals we've filed are published," the neighborhood spokesperson explained. "They assured us that access "The Canet project has declined and will not be awarded or budgeted," he confirms. For its part, the Government says it is not completely ruling out the project, but rather that it will be "re-examined," and assures that it could be resumed in the future if the local councils act. "All the municipalities would have to agree, which we believe will not happen, and we would have to start from scratch to find new funding," explains Girona, who considers this option practically ruled out.

Early this morning, another accident occurred on the AP-7 motorway near L'Aldea (Baix Ebre), involving three trucks. One driver was killed, and another was seriously injured. As a result of the accident, the motorway, which runs from south to north across the country, was closed for hours, leaving thousands of drivers stranded. A similar incident occurred last weekend. A truck accident on Saturday afternoon caused a fuel spill, forcing traffic to be diverted onto the N-340 between L'Ampolla and L'Ametlla. Consequently, on Sunday afternoon, the AP-7 became a death trap for vehicles returning to Barcelona from the Valencian Community, turning a journey that should have taken two hours into a six-hour ordeal. The truth is, the AP-7 has recently become a nightmare for drivers, both northbound and southbound, where it's impossible to predict what might happen. This is to say nothing of the danger of driving on a supposedly fast road congested with trucks that, moreover, overtake each other, causing long queues and, occasionally, accidents like the one early this morning.

With the arrival of summer, the roads are busier than ever. From short domestic trips to tourists who believe us without stopping. The inevitable result is lost hours spent stuck in traffic on the country's main roads. Given this situation, the debate has reopened: who pays for the roads?

The mobility catering company Areas has closed the purchase of the airport division of the US-based Travel Hospitality Services (THS) through the investment fund Delaware North. This will mean that the Catalan company will assume management of 237 new points of sale in the United States spread across 22 airports, with a workforce of 4,000 employees and a turnover of more than $500 million (€428 million). The multinational, based in Esplugues de Llobregat (Baix Llobregat), expects the transaction to be profitable, according to the same statement.
