Today you will see us in elDiario.es boast much of this special work on the types of building that we have built in Spain to live. We are a country of flats, with a bet the high blocks that is not common in other countries similar to ours. And that has a historical, social, political and economic reason. It is exciting and I invite you to read it carefully and then look for your neighborhood or your city: you will find street by street what is the type of housing that exists. It is a great work of the Datos team, profiled by Raúl Sánchez and Analía Plaza.
Look, this is Cádiz running out of space.
And this is a housing development in a wealthy town in Madrid, Boadilla del Monte.

Spain is bigger today than it was yesterday
The lava that is falling into the sea in La Palma is forming a natural delta of rock already solidified under water that is nothing more nor less than new territory for this island, which since its birth has been taking shape between eruptions and earthquakes. For those who measure patriotism in square metres, the figure: Spain is 50,000 square metres bigger today than it was yesterday. And it will continue to grow as long as the lava continues to fall into the water, which already extends along some 500 metres of coastline and is already 50 metres above the sea.
And whose land is buried under the lava? What a question. There is an answer: the land reclaimed from the sea is obviously the property of the state and is now the property of the government.The land is part of what is called “public maritime terrestrial domain”. But be careful: the private properties that are now under the lava (and will remain there) remain private property, although the state has a kind of preferential right to expropriate them. Here is a better explanation.
The next virus
We should not be alarmed, but we should be aware that it could happen again. At least 165 species of animal-borne viruses can infect humans, and this number could be underestimated. The colleagues of the science journalism agency SINC report it. A group of scientists is hunting for the next virus that is now infecting animals and can make the dangerous leap to humans, to anticipate and contain it. One of the conclusions is that there are many diseases that come from rodents or bats, not so much because they are genetically more suitable species but because there are many and therefore there are more likely to occur.
Today on the podcast we remember what we were saying about teleworking in the midst of confinement and what we are saying now. What has changed? Has the promised revolution of work-life balance in companies taken place? That’s what we’re talking about.
Don’t miss it
- A nurse in charge of doing medical check-ups of staff at Carlos III University has been arrested for amassing recordings of hundreds of naked women, taken during those check-ups. He was there for ten years.
- And meanwhile, the percentage of men aged 15 to 29 who give importance to the problem of male violence is decreasing: only 50% believe it is “very serious”. In fact, one in five boys under the age of 20 considers it to be “an ideological invention”, twice as many as in 2017. Data.
- Ayused to now. The president of Madrid has gone to the US to give press conferences with the Madrid media who have gone with her. Beyond that, she has said some nasty things about indigenous cultures and has allowed herself to disavow the Pope about the known abuses of colonization and evangelization. of Latin America.
- Sahara. The European Court of Justice has annulled the EU-Moroccan fisheries and tariff agreements that include Western Sahara. Ok, what does that mean politically? The Polisario Front comes out stronger in a moment of crisis with Spain after the dismissal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Andres Gil explains it to you.
- Journalist Antonio Gasset, iconic director and presenter of ‘Días de cine’, has died at the age of 75.
- “Put your legs up”. And in Nidos, as always, they publish those things that everyone talks about but few people say to their faces. Let’s see, write down the things you shouldn’t tell a person or couple who is looking for a pregnancy and it’s a long time coming.
Things I didn’t know
- I didn’t know there are several types of lava flows. Generally, experts name four: blocky lava flows are very thick, because of the type of molten rock, and they advance very slowly. When they solidify, they are elongated and irregular. The Aa casts are very fluid and remain extended with cracks. Pahoechoe (or Pahoechoe) looks like intestines going downhill. The pillow lava forms when it reaches the sea, as it happens now in La Palma, and they are like melted rock escerifications in contact with cold water. The ones you see in the photo above. Read in ABC.
- I didn’t know what inertial mass is. I don’t fully understand it now, but this video of Pedro Duque (who has changed his office again due to the lack of gravity) makes me understand that it is the resistance of a body to change speed. And the video is curious.
- I didn’t know that peanuts are not a nut but a legume that grows underground inside the pod we all know. I saw it on Twitter. The word peanut comes from an indigenous word in Latin America that means “cocoa of the earth” and in fact in Valencia, the first place where it was grown in Europe, many people still call it “cacau”.
Tomorrow is October. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but we’ll be here.
A hug,
Juanlu.
