In 1999, a manga predicted that Japan would suffer a great cataclysm in 2025. And now there are tourists canceling their trips

by

Samantha Tang is a yoga teacher, is 34 years old, resides in Hong Kong and is in love with Japan. So much so that since the Pandemia ended, he tries to visit the country once a year. Until recently, August was planned on the beaches of Wakayama80 km from Osaka. “I had,” in the past. Despite his passion for Japanese culture, Tang has recognized the CNN that he will postpone his plans for a peculiar reason: “Everyone talks about an earthquake.” Your case is not unique. Japan has found that a surprising number of tourists are canceling their trips to the country for fear of suffering a natural disaster. The most curious thing is not that “frightened” of tourists, but what has unleashed it. Behind psychosis is not the government, a seismological organism, a team of physicists and geologists or a revolution, but a manga comic. THE KEY: A 1999 comic. If Tang has rethink his next trip to Japan, just like others Assiduous and passionate travelers of Japanese culture is largely by a comic released a few years ago. To understand it you have to go back to 1999, when Ryo Tatsuki published ‘WATHI GA MITA MIRAI’ (‘The future I saw’), a manga in which the author talks about prophetic dreams. The work could pass without sorrow or glory through the libraries of the country if it were not because in it Tatsuki predicted a great disaster that would occur in March 2011, month and year in which Japan suffered A great earthquake With thousands of dead and injured. That coincidence gave a huge reputation to the comic. He began to talk about him on social networks, he commented on TV programs and his specimens were revalued. And why does it matter now? The work ended up becoming so famous that the Asta Shinsha publishing house signed Tatsuki to publish a new version, a “complete edition” that was launched in 2021 and ended up becoming a bombing. The company ensures that in total more than 960,000 copies. The book has also been published in Chino and has reached other points in Asia in which it has become popular, such as Thailand or Hong Kong. The point is that this new enlarged version includes a prediction that has shaken Japanese tourism and has put on guard not a few travelers in Asia, especially superstitious. 2025. The comic ensures that “the real disaster will arrive in July 2025” (an idea that includes on its own cover) and leaves Sound passages as the following: “I dreamed with a great disaster. The waters of the Pacific Ocean south of the Japanese archipelago will rise.” Such prophecy (of course) has no scientific support and the author herself has recognized in An interview with Mainichi Shimbun that people should act “taking into account the opinion of experts”; But that has not avoided that the influence of manga (and its prophecy) has spread. A manga … And something else. Although Tatsuki’s comic has played a decisive role is not the only thing that explains that the fear of a natural disaster has downed (and remote) apart from tourists who planned to travel to Japan this year. The ball has been enlarged after an alleged “psychic” Japanese predicted that an earthquake would hit Tokyo’s bay April 26 (something that obviously did not happen) and Qi Xian Yua Feng Shui teacher with some impact on Hongkonese TV, will advise people to stay away from Japan. If that is added the social networks speaker, the result that I commented Tang With the CNN: “Everyone talks a lot about an earthquake.” “It is better to avoid it. It will be very problematic if an earthquake occurs,” coincides Oscar Chu, another Hong Kong traveler, who usually visits the country of the rising sun several times a year but has decided to rethink his 2025 trip. Beyond the prophecies. Predictions and prophecies on the margin, the truth is that Japan is located in an area of ​​special seismic activity, the Fire belt Del Pacífico, already throughout the last decades, has suffered earthquakes such as the one that hit the Kanto region in September 1923, the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji, Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku (2008) or that of 2011, which caused damage mainly at the northern end of the country. At the beginning From this same year he suffered another in the southwest area, although with a rather lower intensity, of magnitude 6.9. Not long ago Japan issued Another alert and the government He has recognized that there is a high probability that an earthquake shakes the Nankai pit (located to the south of the country) throughout the next three decades. TO mid -April Even the Chinese embassy encouraged its travelers to take precautions. Reality, like They recognize the authorities Japanese, is that “with current knowledge it is difficult to predict an earthquake specifying date, time and place.” How has it affected tourism? Although it is difficult to anticipate the Ladies, the fear climate largely fed by the Tatsuki comic, it is being felt in the Japanese tourism sector. Especially in demand from other points in Asia, such as China, Thailand or Vietnam, important markets for the country. WWPKG travel agency, based in Hong Kong, He has assured to the CNN that the reservations to visit Japan during Holy Week fell to half. And forecasts for the coming months are not better. Greater Bay Airlines, an Hong Kong airline, He has chosen directly For reducing their services with the Japanese region of Sendai and the city of Tokushima, cutting both in a weekly frequency. The reason: a drop in demand between rumors of an upcoming disaster in Japan that add to the economic uncertainty generated by the tariff war initiated by the United States. A BOOM SECTOR. The big background question is how this suspicion will affect the growing tourism sector of Japan, which has been moving in historical figures and has even generated tensions in the busiest points, such as the surroundings of the Mount … Read more

founded two republics of which he was president

At present, millionaires are focused on Your own space career for “save humanity“Of itself. In the nineteenth century, the millionaires concentrated all that impetus in conquering territories of third countries independently, using Your own private army and governing their colonies as former feudal lords. That was the case of William Walker, considered by many as “last great filibuster“, which acted as an independent mercenary that conquered territories in Mexico, Nicaragua. William Walker: The Central American dictator The story of William Walker is a story of ambition, power and the formation of Latin American identity. Born in Tennessee in 1824, Walker was the son of very influential entrepreneurs in local politics. He studied medicine, journalism and law. However, he abandoned these professions to become a filibuster, a kind of private mercenaries that encouraged revolutions not authorized by any country in order to take the territories and their resources. To understand the context of private invasions of countries, it is important to know the concept on which the DOCTRINE OF MANIFESTO DESTINATION. This doctrine, one of the pillars United States foundational. This 19th century doctrine justified the territorial expansion of the United States through North America, based on the belief of being a “chosen” nation with the divine right to extend its civilization. This idea is associated with annexation to the United States of territories such as Texas and California, and wars such as Mexico and Spain, promoting the idea that expansion was obvious and predestined, reflected in the phrase “by divine or God authority.” This ideology influenced intervention and expansionism policies, whose maximum expression It is the famous phrase of Thomas Jefferson: “America has a hemisphere for itself.” The Sonora desert, part of the Republic of Sonora. With only 29 years, in 1853, Walker recruited 32 American slave mercenaries and launched into the conquest of the southern borders of the country which Hernán Cortés, in search of power and wealth. The incursion were not bad and the cities of La Paz and Ensenada in Mexico conquered, self -proclaiming president of the Republic of Sonorawhere he hastened to impose a new permissive legislation with slavery to obtain a rapid profitability of his conquest. His presidency lasted little, since five months later, the Mexican resistance and the lack of supplies forced him to withdraw. To a scrambled river, invading gain Far from demotivating itself after the failure of the first foray into private colonialism, William Walker allied with the Democratic Party of Nicaragua, which at that time was in full territorial dispute over the control of the Central American country with the legitimist party. Walker saw the opportunity to put a trick in the matter and offered to the local bourgeoisie to help them militarily to achieve their goals, and incidentally, to gain their own economic interests a little more. After winning the battle in Granada with an army of mercenaries called “The immortals“He was symbolically elected president, imposing American policies and customs. William began to apply his colonialist policy in the area by initiating a government policy by decrees, in which slavery was restored, the English as an official language And the arrival of Americans was encouraged, in addition to changing the constitution and flag of the country. It also established by decree that all the assets of the “enemies of the State” would be confiscated in favor of the Republic and distributed by a specially generous special board with the interests of William Walker and the United States. There is in fact the “germ” of the Panama Canal. Given the strategic nature of the area, this conquest did not go unnoticed by the United States, which rushed to recognize the legitimacy of the new republic created by William Walker. The US interest in the control of this area was based on the importance of creating a Interoceanic Commercial Route that will connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. Immediately the traffic route that connected both oceans through the San Juan River in the south of the country was established. The return of the hero. Attenny by the pressures of commercial interests and their neighboring countries, the Walker government is overthrown and the millionaire must return to his native Tennessee acclaimed as a victorious hero. His banishment would not last long, since, three years later, William Walker returned to the streets and already planned the conquest of Honduras. This coup adventure lasted less than the previous one. Walker is arrested by the British troops settled in the area and is quickly delivered to local authorities in Trujillo, where without further delay he is judged and sentenced to death.

The Prado Museum closed its doors so that Dua Lipa could create content. That has generated a furious debate

by

Even the most venerable institutions are taking notes of the latest trends in communication, and that is why dean museums (but not necessarily anchored in the past and the analog) undertake promotion and communication strategies that come out of the normal. The latest: Pop influencers and stars visit Museums. Often, with the buildings closed for them alone. Dua Lipa likes Bosco. This happened with Dua Lipa, who, taking advantage of the fact that he was going through Madrid with the Radical Optimism tour, published some of his leisure plans through the city. One of them was look at the one who affirms that it is his favorite picture‘The Garden of Delights’. Of course, he did it with the closed building, in a promotional maneuver that was conveniently redifested by The Prado Museum account. Dua Lipa is not the first or the only one. What can be done. These types of actions are a content very desired by museums, since they give them a lot of visibility between an audience that is not the usual of their social networks. Among the activities that are usually carried out and that are analyzed in studies like this company Evespecialized in innovative museum projects, highlights private visits with the closed museum, advertising campaigns in which celebrities lend their image, special events and, as is the case, mutual creation of content for networks, disputed in struggle for every second of attention. More cases. As we say, the case of Dua Lipa is not the only one. In 2020 the influencer Italian Chiara Ferragni visited the Uffizi gallery of Florence, in a session for the magazine ‘Vogue Hong Kong’ and with a guided tour of the director of the Pinacoteca. The museum knew how to make good use of the influence of the influencer when comparing its physique with the Renaissance muse Simonetta Vespucci. The photos of other celebrities of high turns, Jay Z and Beyoncé are also controversial, when they are photographed by eclipsing works of art Like Nefertiti’s headimage for which they needed a special permit of the Berlin Museum Neues. Museums are modernized. Actions such as these obey a task of modernization of museums, which of course affect their contents in social networks. El Prado, in fact, has been Very praised for its studied mixture of entertainment and dissemination with a relaxed tone. They started with house experts that explained the intrígulis of the Great works and his restorationbut they currently have a very varied content, with all kinds of disseminators expanding the meaning of the works. It is one New form of art criticism. International tendency. It is a modernization of networks that other museums, such as Carnegie Museum of Art wave Tate GalleryThey have also put into practice. Pioneer was the New York Metone of the first artistic institutions with a Tiktok account and that reached a remarkable impact before the pandemic with initiatives such as #Metgalastyle, where they asked users to create their own content inspired by the famous annual gala. The complaints. Of course, sometimes so isolated proposals from your consumer-type as some of these can collide with the usual ones. For example, Dua Lipa’s videos have been Very criticized In networks because they see how he takes photos in the museum, something that is prohibited for normal users. But there is more: there is talk of a Banalization of artif the Influencers And your concern for Figure in the foreground and ahead of the works (as Beyoncé does) is the correct form to disseminate this type of contentand if This type of digital strategies They end up damaging institutions rather than spreading their catalogs. In any case, it is another symptom of the popularization of culture and how after a while, Art molar again. Much of the fault is the trends that dictate Influencers And superstar, but also, let’s not take me out of merit, that the Instagram account of El Museo del Prado is frankly well.

I have tried the new Android design 16. If this is what awaits the Google system … that they have my sword

by

Yesterday was one of those days that are marked forever in the technological calendar. We may not be aware of the impact that everything presented yesterday will have, but Google marked a before and after not only in the future of Gemini and Android, but in how we relate to consumer electronics. While showing us how they will work Android XR glassesthe Project Beam holographic callsand the Ai mode in the searchThe company launched one of Android’s greatest resideños to date. The Google Pixel selectable can already enjoy Android 16 With this change in design, and we have tried it. The launcher. He launcher It is one of Android’s most iconic parts and, and Google never dares to change it too much. It remains almost equal to what we had seen so far, with some small aesthetic change in the search, voice and icons Google Lens of the application drawer. The notification bar. Android (at least in Google’s native interpretation) does not give up to the iPhone control center, unlike the rest of customization layers. We continue to have a quick access bar above and, just below, notifications. This panel has completely redesigned: we have new icons, new easier design and access to the notification history and the notification configuration menu. And yes, the mythical battery icon is now horizontal, Android has lost one of its greatest hallmarks and now looks more like iOS. Android 16 does a better job with complementary colors. The color palette. Something that can be seen instantly with Material 3 It is a better integration of automatic issues. From the arrival of Youthe Android color palette adapts to the colors of the wallpaper. With Android 16 this remains so, but integration is even deeper and (to taste a server) more aesthetically. The icons, the transparency of the notification bar … absolutely all the elements of the system mix the colors of the Wallpaper so that everything looks good. The multitasking. At least in this beta, it is much easier to interact with the apps that we have in Multitasa. We continue without having the button to remove all the apps in an accessible way, but there are interesting options. We can quickly select the contents of an app in multitasking without even having it open in the foreground. We go to multitasking, click the image button, and we will have quick access to Google Lens, copy, share and save. We can also capture screen or select some concrete area of ​​the app. In the drop -down, we have the divided screen options, pause the app, the app, capture, select or close. The adjustments. This is, by far, the point that I liked of Android 16 and Material 3. I cross my fingers to be just a matter of beta and that there are changes in the final version. The adjustments are worse about what we had previously, going fast and at the foot. Even having tried this beta in a Pixel 9 Pro, everything is too compacted and small. It is difficult to distinguish between the sub -rush, and it becomes quite tedious to find adjustments that we saw before with the naked eye. Nor does I fall in love with the design too much. Now it is simpler and more minimalist, but there is neither a especially clear order, nor has it taken too careful at aesthetic level. The best is missing, apps. I have stayed with the desire to try one of the reasons for being of the new version of material 3: apps. This redesign makes sense when apps adapt to it, both aesthetic and functionalities. Live activities are not available in this beta, and there is still work to do. Be that as it may, this new version is good news. Android is more consistent than ever at the aesthetic level (waiting to see how they solve the design of the adjustments), and prepares For a revolution by Gemini. It will not be the one who stays outside this ship. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Google has put a price on the future of AI: $ 250 per month

Let’s tell you the News of Android Auto 14.4the new version of Android Auto that Google has begun to make available to all users. Again, it is the operating system that is integrated into the Android mobiles, but that by connecting them in your car is executed directly on its screen. We all know that this system does not usually bring great visible news from version to version. However, in this case There are news on Google Maps That you can use now, although in the rest of the interface there are no changes. News of Android Auto 14.4 The new version 14.4 of Android Auto brings some small changes in the Google Maps application.

Robots with flamethrows fight against shotguns

by

That the war in Ukraine is breaking all the molds of the war tactics of conflicts of the past, is out of any doubt. Interestingly, the battle that is fought is a test field where the more advanced technologies of military artillery, with other ideas that worked in such distant contests Like World War I. In fact, to the Ukrainian application of the “Davis Canyon”, Russia has replicated with a plane of the same era. And, in the meantime, the first flamethrower robot appears. Reinvent the obsolete. As we said, Russia has resorted to such an unusual method as revealing the growing pressure that Ukraine exerts with its unmanned air attacks: adapting the old training plane YAK-52 as a rudimentary anti -Didish platform. As? Armed with A semi -automatic shotgun and a multispectral sensor under the wing. The aircraft, now called YAK-52B2, has been redesigned to detect and knock down long-range drones that fly over the Russian territory, especially those of unidirectional attack such as the AN-196 Liutyi or non -manned versions of ultraliger planes such as Airrakt A-22used by Ukraine to hit the enemy borders. This adaptation remembers the experiments of the Soviet era with the YAK-52B, a counterinsurgent version armed with guns and rockets that never reached serial production, but now finds a Luck of rebirth Forced by the new conditions of the battlefield. Improvised solution. The Appearance of YAK-52B2 It responds to the growing limitations of traditional Russian anti -aircraft systems, increasingly saturated or deployed in the front. Putin himself publicly admitted, after a wave of attacks in May 2024, that Moscow’s aerial defense worked in shape “Satisfactory” but improvable. In this context, a slow, cheap plane, with good maneuverability at low altitude and capable of operating from makeshift airfields can offer an additional layer of punctual defenseespecially useful for protecting critical infrastructures away from the front. The use of electrooptic sensors and an on -board shooting computer allows nightly or adverse climatic conditions, just when Ukrainian drones are usually launched. However, the chosen armament (A 12 caliber shotgun, probably a Semi -automatic saiga) raises serious operational doubts due to its extremely limited reach, especially In combat Aire-Airewhere shooting at such a short distance can involve collisions with debris or the premature detonation of the enemy drone. FrEE OF THE SENSOR TORRET BELOW THE YAK-52B2 WING A new phase of unmanned war. At the same time that Russia has used its modified Yak-52, an unprecedented evolution of drones has appeared. Ukraine has approved officially the Incorporation of Krampusa non -manned land vehicle (UGV), who has earned the nickname of “ruling robot” for its ability to launch thermobárica rounds RPV-16an ammunition that disperses fuel in the air and lights it, generating a devastating explosion. This authorization places it among the more than 80 designs of terrestrial drones already supported by kyiv, consolidating a tendency of technological diversification that seeks to maximize the operational autonomy of the Ukrainian army. The Krampus, of Local designit has been conceived as a robust platform for missions so much offensives as defensive against infantry and light armored vehicles, and is driven by two silent engines that allow it to cross complicated land such as thick forests, swamps or slopes, without losing mobility under extreme weather conditions. The flamethrower used RPV 16 Lethal effect With the ability to be transported in the back of a truck, this hybrid incorporates a video camera and even Four RPV-16 pitchers On a single use, which suggests that the robot can shoot those four times before requiring replenishment. Although the ministry has not revealed its operational autonomy or the amount of ammunition that it can load, it has confirmed that its control systems are designed to Resist electronic interferencewhich is crucial in a saturated front of electronic warfare. Your battery also allows you to remain in motion for several hours or stay in waiting mode For long periods, which increases its tactical utility in prolonged or ambush operations. Advantages of weight and permanence. The incorporation of krampus, what’s doubt, is an evolution (Another one) In the use of drones, traditionally focused on aerial vehicles, taking advantage of the unique advantages of the UGVas its ability to transport major explosive loadsits usefulness for mining cleaning missions, or even the evacuation of injured in extreme situations. This versatility has caused Ukrainian units to develop Your own UGV models With mounted machine guns, capable of operating at distances of up to 20 kilometers and normally coordinated with aerial recognition drones to detect mines, traps or enemy positions. Technological mutation: the past. The appearance of Russian Yak-52 “Vitaminate”together with the Krampus Ukranian They are faithful mirrors of what is happening in the front: past and future intermingle. The conversion of Yak-52 in a kind of drone hunter reflects the deeply adaptive and decentralized character of modern conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In the absence of clear technological superiority, both sides are forced to reuse available resources with creativity and urgency. As we have told before, the proliferation of Cheap and effective drones He has caused even air forces to be forced to rethink their doctrines. Technological mutation: The future. On the other sidewalk, the adoption of robots, Like Krampusit is not only a sample of technical innovation, but a direct measure for replace soldiers in the most dangerous areas of the front. In a context where human casualties accumulate and the exhaustion of personnel is a constant, the UGV represent an alternative to maintain the offensive without depending exclusively of human sacrifice. Its implementation also sends a clear message about the evolution of the conflict: the war in Ukraine is no longer only a territorial or geopolitical dispute, but an extreme laboratory where the role of military technology of the 21st century is redefined … with help of the last century.

The AI ​​and technology of today drive the dream that Glass promised

by

The augmented reality is not new for Google. In fact, it is a segment in which they have wanted to play their foot for more than a decade. Glass It was the project that made us dream of glasses with which we could obtain all the information we would like directly from our retina. The problem is that Technology was simply not ready At that time. With the arrival of the generative AI, the balance has ended up balancing a lot. During The Google I/O.the company showed a prototype of glasses that reminded us of Google Glass, now driven with Gemini. Us We have been able to test this same prototype During our visit to the event and under these lines we tell you what we have found. Notice for navigators: they are still a prototype, so Google’s mission has been to collect feedback through closed -door tests. Glass lacked two keys: an AI like Gemini and the technology we have today Google’s return to the field of smart glasses seems to be more alive than ever, especially after knowing the development of the platform Android XR and his collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm for the creation of Project Moohanthe augmented reality glasses that have the objective of standing in the Apple’s proposal with Vision Pro. Real -time translation can become one of the functions most demanded by these types of devices | Image: Google The company seems to come back with A renewed approachimportant strategic alliances and a much more mature technology. Android XR wants to spread through glasses of multiple formats And during the event we have been able to get back a bit with their glasses designed to wear them throughout the day. Google and Samsung They have not hidden with design Project Moohan and have not done so with these glasses either. This discreet approach seems inspired by the recent collaboration of Goal with Ray-Banand it is a clear recognition that smart glasses need to be, above all, glasses that people want to wear. The test (with failures) during the Keynote of the Google I/O | Image: Google During the test with this prototype I could check How Google has integrated its artificial intelligence assistant Gemini in a format that takes advantage of the first person vision. Unlike the original Glass proposal, where technology was the protagonist, here the experience flows more naturally. We would have loved to show you the interface during the test or a closest close -up of the glasses themselves, but unfortunately were some of the restrictions we had to meet. Sergey Brin himself, Google co -founder, recognized during the event the mistakes made with Google Glass, admitting that then They did not understand the complexity of supply chains in consumer electronics or how difficult it would be to make smart glasses at a reasonable price. The I see what you see Gemini It develops really well While we interact with the assistant through the glasses. The wizard uses the camera incorporated in the glasses to ‘see what we see’. In one of the demos, I stopped in front of a painting and directly asked who his author was and what he represented. Without having to specify to which table I referred to, the assistant responded precisely by providing data on the work and other related details of interest. Prototype glasses in the test with Gemini | Image: Xataka In another of the tests, I could also taste slightly Its potential capacity to help us with any type of taskasking him about the operation of a coffee machine in front of me. The wizard not only identified the model, but detailed the step -by -step procedure to prepare coffee. Although all the tests were in a safe environment where Google workers had control in case something strange happened, these tests implied me Everyone of possibilities that Google counted thanks to Gemini and a technology that is now ‘. Gemini drives device capabilities | Image: Google This ability to “see” and understand the context makes a substantial difference with respect to attendees who only depend on voice or text commands. It’s like having a partner who observes the world from your perspective and helps you when you need it. A ‘todologist’ that helps you in whatever. And that concept of direct aid has also been extended in other projects that Google has underway and that we could also see on Google I/O, as is the case of Search Live. In the current state in which this prototype was, the glasses had A touch button on one of the pins that allows you to activate or pause Geminiso that the assistant is not constantly listening and observing. In addition, when the camera is active, an LED lights so that people around you know that you are recording. This is the prototype on the demos | Image: Xataka The information was projected from one of the crystals, and everything we heard from Gemini could also see it in text. In the current state, the text is something uncomfortable to read, and that I have no view problems. However, we must remember that It is a very premature prototypeso it is a characteristic that surely changes a lot during the development cycle. And it should be remembered that Android XR is beginning to develop this year for this new concept of glasses, as the company has revealed during its Keynote. A strategy of alliances and price will be everything to determine its success What also makes this project of previous attempts distinguish is The collaboration strategy What Google is deploying. The company announced during the I/O associations with glasses manufacturers As Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, in addition to deepening their technological alliance with Samsung and Qualcomm. Google is investing up to 150 million dollars In his association with Warby Parker. Despite the enthusiasm, you have to be realistic: What I could try was a very early prototype with limited functionalities and in a controlled … Read more

Buying a Bad Bunny ticket is easier than reserving a Madrid-Vigo. So Galicia already plans to denounce Renfe

by

You enter the application and everything is busy. There is no option to opt for another time slot. Touch wait, put the alarm and try tomorrow again. We do not talk about the nth battle to reserve a class in a gym too saturated, we talk about what Galician users who intend to reserve a Renfe train and check with stupor how You can’t do it two months in view. Or, in the worst case, how they can never do it. The entrance of the dynamic prices He has caused many travelers to be in the position of not knowing what will happen with a trip. With numerous discomforts when booking tickets. With the confirmation that each trip is a battle to free from the phone. Especially when we talk about complicated dates such as summer or Christmas holidays. And that’s why Galicia’s Xunta threatens to denounce Renfe. Some tickets impossible to buy This happens because there is “a monopoly position.” This is how Diego Calvo has defined, Ministry of Presidency, Xustiza and Deportes de Galicia the situation in which they are living with Renfe. A situation that is born, in his words, for an “abuse of domain” that “prevents Galicians from planning trips.” This situation derives from the fight involved in seats since the dynamic prices that is, those who fluctuate depending on the availability and demand. Faced with the fear that prices are triggered, users try to reserve the train squares as soon as possible and these are exhausted in a very short time Two months seen. The company itself warns of this On its website But the problem is especially serious when dates indicated as festivities, holidays or Christmas. First because high demand triggers prices and because, second, days or hours apart you can make you buy the same ticket at a much higher price. That, if you can buy it.
