@ezpzfun I tried buying products from ezpz Spain online last weekend and all I got was a receipt. No email about shipping or when I'll get it. When I contact company, nothing. Seems like a scam. What's going on?

I gave my toddler my phone for a minute and now I have 254 photos of her ear to delete.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... Wholesale Spanish extra virgin olive oil prices have climbed this week further, hitting a fresh all time high above €8,200 per metric ton (almost $9,000). (And no, no, and no: I will not consider buying anything other than **Spanish** olive oil).

@OracleOfIberia Hahaha can't resist Twitter when I'm this outraged. As much as I want to hate it, still the public complaint board extraordinaire.

This Luis Rubiales speech has to be subtitled. One of the most shocking speeches that I've ever seen. A Trumpian offensive blitz instead of a resignation. And part of the man-filled room clapping as he gives lessons on feminism. What a bombshell. youtube.com/watch?v=jqh9NV…

For Turkiye's news agency... Because women won in football, the world gets a glimpse into Spain's brand of machismo, far-right discourse and what the country's left and more moderate forces are fighting against. aa.com.tr/en/europe/-i-w…

He vivido el arropo d la asamblea d @rfef a Rubiales como una agresión individual y colectiva Su aplauso ha dejado al descubierto todo el sistema q ampara las violencias q sufrimos desde la infancia las mujeres y recordar x qué no las denunciamos Duele este nuevo abuso de poder
Patricia Simón ✍️@patriciasimon

Cuando Rubiales se vaya, seguirán en la cúspide todos esos hombres y mujeres que le han aplaudido cuando ha tachado de "plaga" al "falso feminismo". Ell@s son el sistema que se resiste a perder el poder. Pasó su tiempo. Pero morirán matando. Toca arropar a @Jennihermoso

@E_Staniforth Fun! 'Libs' might be good for 'progres' as in 'own the libs' and maybe 'red-blooded Spaniards' for early risers? Tell me what you come up with for chiringuitos!

I'm translating a long report on the Spanish far-right party Vox this week and I'm having great fun translating the typical right-wing terms and slogans: "progre" (pondering whether "woke" is too loaded here), "la España que madruga"... Even "machos empotradores" 😂

Today was by far the hottest day in Oviedo on record, with the max temp reaching 38.7°C. The previous record was 35.8°. Nuts! With the humidity, this meteorologist said the real feel could have been as high as 49°. Of course, since the weather is usually mild, no one has A/C. 🔥
Estación Meteorológica Oviedo-Buenavista@DaniPerez_Meteo

RÉCORD ABSOLUTO DE TEMPERATURA superado hoy en esta estación. TEMPERATURA MÁXIMA JAMÁS REGISTRADA : 38.7 °C. Registro anterior: 35.8 °C (18/07/2016) Esto supone rebasar el registro en 2.9 °C. ¡Una auténtica barbaridad! Día más que histórico en la meteo en Asturias.

@grahunt Nice! You should get someone to buy it.. Or not totally sure if someone could fully purchase it, but the government could definitely do multi-decade leases ;)

Imagine if your job subsidized a two-week holiday on the Asturian coast. Well, that fantasy was made true by the Franco regime & Spain's sole legal trade union at the time. For my first foray into travel writing, allow me to introduce Perlora. atlasobscura.com/articles/perlo…

Its state of disrepair is depressing to those who saw it in its glory, and there is still hope that it can be redeveloped by the gov or a private company. But if you're in Asturias, it's a pretty cool spot to check out. Tarragona and Marbella have similar workers resorts too.

In the 80s, it passed to the hands of the left-wing Asturian government. It was open until 2005. Although not official, most people believe that its fascist past is the reason the gov has let this unique complex, one of the rare places directly on the Asturian coast, crumble.
