Economists have long warned that the upward climb has slowed to a near standstill. Now the OECD has provided figures that reinforce this perception: in Spain, more than a third of income inequality is determined by factors that do not depend on the individual, but rather on imposed or inherited circumstances such as gender, the parents' place of birth, or, above all, their socioeconomic background.

I don't remember where Pete had gone - and I swear this isn't some fantasy I invented - but I was sitting in this office looking around and wondering whose it was, when Redford himself opened a different door and walked in, all dressed in white. He looked as shocked to see someone sitting in his office as I was to find myself face to face with the Sundance Kid.

Following announcements from Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Iceland, Spain became on Wednesday the first country among the "Big Five," the five largest contributors to the Eurovision Song Contest, to officially declare its decision to boycott the 2026 event to be held in Vienna from May 12-16, if Israel's participation goes ahead as planned. The country's withdrawal was approved by a majority of the board of directors of Spanish state broadcaster RTVE, with 10 votes in favour, four against, and one abstention.

Board members of the state broadcaster RTVE voted in majority favour of boycotting the contest if Israel is among the countries fielding an entry next year. It makes Spain the first of the big five Eurovision countries that make the largest financial contributions to the event the others are France, Germany, Italy, and the UK to take such action in response to Israel's offensive in Gaza.

Sunshine, tapas, siestas (and, let's be honest, fiestas); Spain has all the ingredients for a pretty dreamy digital nomad lifestyle. But beyond the sangria and palm trees, there are some practical things every remote worker has to think about: solid Wi-Fi, a welcoming community, staying safe, and, yes, making sure you've got travel insurance that actually covers you when things go sideways.

Spain is a top destination for eco-conscious travelers. The country is home to the most biosphere reserves in the world, is a global leader on Blue Flag beaches and is working towards protecting 30 percent of its marine areas by 2030. And, with the second-longest high-speed rail network in the world, low-impact travel between Spanish destinations is easier than ever.

We really missed him in the final stages. Generally, we are improving our team step by step. We have a very hard-working group. We've analysed 15 videos in the last three days. The players work tirelessly... they're incredibly hardworking and do whatever it takes on the pitch. Playing against Spain is an additional incentive for us, against the European champions at home.

In the government-funded video, actor Paco Leon asks: "Let's talk about balls... What does it mean to have balls? One way to have balls is to go shopping or make a Spanish omelette or dare to tell your colleague that if he sends another photo of that woman, you'll report him. Having balls means doing the right thing." But rather than being anti-men, the Ministry hopes reshaping the use of ball-based expressions can be a positive for everyone.

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente said his players were "upset" with their second half display, despite cruising to a 3-0 win against Bulgaria on Thursday.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus -- Defending champion Spain was eliminated from EuroBasket in the group stage when it lost 90-86 to Greece, which was led by Giannis Antetokounmpo's 25 points and 14 rebounds Thursday. Tyler Dorsey chipped in with 22 points as Greece advanced to the round of 16 atop Group C. It will face Israel on Sunday for a spot in the quarterfinals.

A few years ago, camping with friends, I watched in awe as Becky set up her pitch. While the rest of us were stringing out guy ropes on tents as glamorous as giant cagoules, she arrived with a bell tent, duvets instead of sleeping bags, sheepskin rugs and vintage folding chairs. For all the talk of breathability, practicality and high performance gear, it was Becky's tent we all wanted to sleep in.

The wildfires that have devoured 373,000 hectares of land in Spain and killed four people underscore the need to readjust and recalibrate the country's preparation and response capacities.

A single geometric figure, the rotated square, underpins the entire composition, anchoring visual continuity across timber ceilings, floors, and the street-facing facade.

Shooting in the Extremadura countryside became an unexpected challenge as a nationwide blackout left the team without phone signal, internet, power, and water supply.

When I moved from the US to Spain to build a new life, I hoped to find someone to share it with. I mostly dated men who spoke both English and Spanish, but never felt a true connection - until one night at a Latin dance event when I was paired with my now-boyfriend.

Cannibalism was likely the result of a violent episode between competing Late Neolithic herding communities about 5,700 years ago.

Spain's defense ministry announced it would not pursue the US-designed F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, choosing to invest in European-made aircraft instead. This decision was influenced by NATO concerns regarding the US commitment under President Trump's administration.

To qualify for the contributory state pension, you generally need at least 520 full-rate paid PRSI contributions, equivalent to 10 years' worth of paid work.

Chloe Kelly was the hero again as England retained their European Championship crown with a 3-1 penalty shoot-out win over Spain, netting the winning spot-kick after a 1-1 draw in Basel. Kelly's Arsenal team-mates Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo both scored headers in normal time, and though world champions Spain pushed for a winner in the additional period, they were unable to prevent a shoot-out. England were made to regret a big miss from Lauren Hemp when Spain took the lead in the 25th minute.

The Parque de Berlin was filled with people braving the 35C heat to stand in front of a large screen, excited for the women's Euro final.
