El Cabanyal and #Ruzafa are the two boho neighbourhoods everyone wants to be in. It's rare for a full house to come up so get on this quickly. This is #Cabanyal at its best. The beach is a couple of hundred metres away. The market is a few streets behind the house. buff.ly/DnkBpLt

1/5 🧵 Entering Spain irregularly through Ceuta or Melilla does not grant any right to remain in the country, travel to mainland Spain, or move freely within Europe. It also poses a grave risk to life. No court ruling has changed this. 🔗 www.exteriores.gob.es/en/Comunicac...

For the last few years this report has opened the same way. More demand, less supply, more demand, less supply and so on. This year it's different, not radically so but different all the same. buff.ly/093zLYc

Ceuta isn’t in mainland Spain. Is on Morocco’s coast. Under Spanish control since 1500 Is one of 2 Spanish cities that form the European Union’s only land borders with Africa, While Ceuta is part of the EU, it operates under special rules that restrict people from entering Spain and the rest of EU.

Nestled in a private residential complex of just eight houses, this townhouse offers the peace and privacy of a gated community with the convenience of city life on your doorstep. Positioned at the back of the complex, it enjoys extra tranquillity away from the main road. buff.ly/JFIveQP

A playbook repeated from Turkey to Norway to Belarus. Rather than recognising it Europe’s right took an opportunity to pile on to a centre-left leader they resent: domestic troubles aside, Sanchez has outperformed them on economic growth while seeing a green energy switch pay off

This apartment is located on a very quiet street just a 100m from the #Abastos market (not a market anymore), and while it is perfectly equipped so as to move in straight away, my own personal opinion is that it could do with some improvements. buff.ly/CmrMWyC

FIFA's COO goes in two footed and high on Infantino. See's he is still alive so kicks him in the head for good measure. FIFA really should downgrade the red card he will obviously get to a slap on the wrist and a bottle of champagne for good measure

The apartment is nice and high on the 8th floor with two good sized balconies to take in the city views and we have 4 bedrooms, an open plan kitchen / living room and 2.5 bathrooms. As you can imagine, at a smidge under 200m2 every room is a really good size. buff.ly/evB8cwq

It's basically inevitable that we're all going to make the shift to clean renewable energy for one simple reason — at the current trajectory of solar and battery tech it's going to be substantially cheaper.
