reproduces spotify without touching the mobile and keeps more surprises

by

It looks like a radio from another era, but inside hides functions that we did not see coming. Ikea has launched a Bluetooth speaker called Nattbadwith retro design, wireless function and something that usually reserves to some headphones: the possibility of reproducing spotify without having to look for the mobile at home. Vintage design with modern spirit Nattbad is designed not to go unnoticed. Its rectangular shape, its rounded corners and its front grid remind the desktop radios of decades ago. Ikea has thrown it into three colors – negral, pink and yellow – and presents it as an object designed not only to sound, but to be part of the space. The design responsible is Jon Eliason, who defines it as a “social meeting point at home”, inspired by those family radios that gathered people before streaming. One of Nattbad’s most curious details is his integration with Spotify tap. This function allows Put music by pressing a buttonwithout having to unlock the mobile or open the application. And if you don’t like what it sounds, you can press again for the system to choose another song. It is a more direct and unusual way of listening to music outside the headphones market. Nattbad In addition to sounding on its own, Nattbad allows you to link several speakers with each other to play the same music in different rooms. There is no need for an app, nor a specific Wifi network: it is enough to have more than one speaker and link them through Bluetooth. Nattbad Nattbad Cuesta 49.99 euros. It is not the cheapest speaker of the Ikea catalog, and of course it is not If we look at the market in generalwhere there are cheaper options. It remains in the hands of each user to decide if it fits their budget. Blomprakt This is not the only speaker that Ikea has on the horizon. The company has also announced Blompraktan integrated speaker lamp and a peculiar design, whose launch is scheduled for October. We do not know its characteristics and price. From JanuaryIn addition, Ikea plans to launch more than 20 new smart products Compatible with Matterthe standard that seeks to unify the domestic ecosystem. A relevant characteristic now that He directedits control center has finally added this promised compatibility.

Samsung’s triple folding did not appear in the Unpacked. The good news is that it will not take long to see it

by

Samsung’s unpacked left us with a whole new range of folding devices. The fold7 and flip7 They were the protagonists of the evening, also hollowing the Flip7 Fe and the new ones Samsung Galaxy Watch8. However, we stayed with the thorn stuck to know more about that rumored Triple folding of the firm. The good thing is that we will not have to wait for much more to know about him. Official confirmation. Roh Tae-Moon, responsible for the Samsung device division, has declared that he hopes to launch the ‘Trifold’ phone before the end of the year, he mentioned the media The Korea Times. “We are working hard on a Trifold smartphone with the aim of launching it at the end of this year,” the executive explained. The company is now focused on perfecting the product and its usability, although they have not yet decided its final name. A new member joins its folding. Samsung has been dominating and popularizing the folding smartphones market, which initially generated skepticism in the industry when they made an appearance For the first time in 2019. Now these devices have become an important segment for the company’s brand image, and the technological giant wants to continue marking the rhythm. The Trifold would represent the next natural evolutionary step after the popular Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Three folds, three sizes. The device would allow three different configurations: as a traditional smartphone, as a tablet when partially deployed, and as an even bigger screen when completely opened. It would also allow you to use one of the three faces as a support for a surface. Although it is rumored that it could be called Galaxy G fold, Samsung has not yet confirmed its official name. The company He gave little clues of this concept in January during its unpacked event, and several internal files of One UI 8 suggest that its development is advanced. The competition has aroused Samsung. The Korean firm is not alone in this race. Huawei already markets your Mate XTthe only trifold currently available in the market. Another Samsung executive who did not reveal his name, commented to the environment Android Authority That the company has the design ready and could “put it in production”, but that they must first identify a clear “purpose” for this new factor of form. “We have been with a trifold, designed and everything. What we are discussing is viability. Is there really demand for this form of form?” He explained. And now what. The launch of the Trifold would also be framed in Samsung’s strategy to create optimized devices for artificial intelligence. The company considers that smartphones are no longer only tools, but are becoming “colleagues” who see, understand and respond to what users are seeing in real time. Samsung plans to take the functions of Galaxy AI at 400 million galaxy devices that exist in the world before the end of the year. Cover image | Samsung In Xataka | Best folding mobiles in 2025.

A strike arrives at its airports to collapse European air traffic

by

“Today we had to go home and the first flight available is July 8. We don’t have a floor, we don’t find a hotel, a car, or train. We found nothing.” The comment He is from Mariano Mignola, an Italian tourist who last week suffered in his flesh the effects of the France’s air controllers strike just when he was preparing to take a flight in Orly with his children. Its case is not unique and reflects an alarming reality that has shaken the sector, both in France and in the rest of Europe, including of course Spain: The capacity of Gauling drivers to knock out the traffic European. What happened? That French air controllers have demonstrated their pressure capacity. And big, inside and outside your country. On Thursday 3 and Friday 4, just when thousands of Europeans made their bags to start their vacations, the collective He summoned a break that put the air traffic above the continent. The strike was organized UNSA-ICNA (The USAC-CGT union also added) after two unsuccessful meetings with the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and a clear purpose: improve workers’ conditions. According to Precise I mondeextended to 270 from a total template of 1,400 controllers. Was it affected traffic? Yes. On Thursday the break had already felt in 11 airports From the French network and some of the most relevant in the country were forced to suppress 25% of all its programming. To tackle the problem and adjust the operation to the number of controllers available, on Friday the DGAC even asked to airlines that canceled about 40% of their flights in the three main Paris terminals. Nor for those avoided the intense chorreo of complaints of tourists, Companies And even Professional associations. Can the impact be measured? Yes. The sector has not taken to share figures that give an idea of ​​the impact that the strike in air traffic had, both French and other nations. “The European skies are unnecessarily paralyzing during Le Grand Départone of the most busy weekends for trips “, He denounced Thursday Airlines For Europe (A4E)an association that includes Ryanair, Air France-KKM, Lufthansa, British Airways and Easyjet. To prove it, I shared Some figures: More than 1,500 canceled flights, almost 300,000 affected passengers and more than 500,000 minutes in delays (equivalent to a whole year). And that, he stressed, when the strike had not yet ended. Is there more data? Yes. A4E was not the only one to alert the consequences of the strike for the European sector. In its latest weekly Eurocontrol report Recognize that the network was “significantly affected” by the break and speaks of delays that directly blames what happened in the France control towers. According to your calculationsthe strike accumulated important delay in traffic management, both directly and indirectly. Regarding operations, Your balance It is resounding: “3,343 flights less from/to French airports compared to the previous week and (…), 1,206 less overflows with Gallic airspace.” Was Spain affected? Yes. And clearly. The Association of Airlines (Wing) He took stock Yesterday of what happened and concluded that “one in three flights operated in Spain” on Thursday and Friday was affected by the strike. In traffic that is equivalent to almost 2,000 flights with departure or arrival Spain with delays and thousands of harmed passengers. The collective estimates that during the stop days the average delay of the flights affected in our country was around 42 minutes. “On Thursday 1,082 flights operated in Spain (31% of the flights) suffered delays due to the strike in Gallic air control, with an average of 49 minutes per flight. On Friday, 873 flights were affected (23%) with an average of 33 minutes per flight,” he says. With those figures on the table, ClarifySpain would be the second most affected country, behind France. There he estimates that direct operation (take -off and landings) descended 32% due to protests. What does the sector think? Alert impact on air traffic and tourism. In fact wing claims that are protected with “urgency” the over -uelos in France when the controllers of the country declare themselves on strike to “avoid damage to passengers and airlines.” It would be nothing new, remember: it is already done in Italy, Greece or Spain. “Citizens cannot be captive to the strikers’ strikes in France, whose affectation extends beyond their borders, impacting worryingly in our country,” Crows Its president. Very critical The general director of Ryanair, Michael O’Lery, has also been shown, who recalled that much of the affected passengers did not fly with origin or destination France, but that they crossed the country’s airspace. “It makes no sense and is extremely unfair for passengers and EU families who go on vacation,” emphasize The manager, who has already asked Ursula von der to adopt “urgent measures” to protect the flying. “It is unacceptable that flights that survive France and that could operate without interruptions are unnecessarily canceled, simply because the European Commission does not protect overflow flights or defends the single market.” Images | Charles (Flickr) and Vincent Desjardins (Flickr) In Xataka | We have been binding to the suitcases to identify them at the airport for years. Your employees warn that it is a bad idea

Drought is a real threat after an extremely warm, and also dry June

by

The month of June has been the warmest since we have records, as confirmed by the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet). Perhaps more striking is the fact that, despite successive storms interspersed among the warm episodes, the first summer month of 2025 has been drier than average. Warm and dry. Aemet has published Your meteorological summary of the month of June. In this confirm something that we already sensed: last month it was extremely warm, with an average thermal anomaly of 3.6º Celsius above what would be common at this time. It has also been drier than usual, with 68% of the rainfall that would be expected from the sixth month of the year. 23.7º. According to the published summary, the average temperature during the month of June was 23.7º in the Peninsula, which implies the aforementioned anomaly. June 2025 has become the hottest in the historical series for a wide difference: 0.9º above the previous record, marked in 2017. The Balearic Islands also saw a month “extremely warm”, with an average 3.1º above the average. The Canary Islands however remained in a somewhat less extreme record: with an anomaly of 0.7º, its June was listed as “very warm.” Returning to the Peninsula, in some areas of the northeast thermal anomaly in this month exceeds 4.5º. Lack of water. The Meteorological Summary Results With regard to heat they are expected, but there is another important detail and is referring to rainfall. Last month it was also drier than usual in peninsular Spain, with average rainfall of 21.7 mm, more than 30% below the average June. This can be striking if we take into account the various stormy episodes seen throughout the month. These storms were interspersed, serving as relief among the successive warm episodes that occurred during the month. Balearic Islands, with hardly any water. But the most extreme case was not that of peninsular Spain but the one lived in the Balearic Islands. In the Mediterranean archipelago, rainfall fell about 99% compared to the average. During the past month the archipelago received only 0.1 mm of rain. Without reaching such an extreme, the Canary Islands also experienced a dry month: 0.7 mm, 27% of what would be conventional in June. In the peninsula some isolated areas saw rainfall higher than average, especially in the northern plateau and in the Ebro valley. Change in the trend? Between the past fall and the last spring, the high rainfall managed to get a good part of the country out of the drought situation in which it was. Swamps and reservoirs before under minimums saw their volume of water significantly grow. Great news that was welcomed with a certain degree of skepticism after more than a year of drought. June is not the first month dry than usual we see in the last year, but the less a reminder that the hydrological bonanza era will not be eternal and that we must prepare for when the drought prevails again.

It is possible to grow to beast and be about to break at the same time

by

Last week the news jumped: the Asterion Investment Fund, through its Olin Group division, reached a principle of agreement To acquire Finetwork for about 200 million eurosto which another 100 million are added to deal with their main problem. Escaping from the wolf. The acquisition is a movement that will allow OMV to face Your debt Of more than 100 million with Vodafone, thus preventing your service provider from converting the debt into shares and ends up taking control of the company. The Finetwork case is paradoxical: it is the best example of how it is possible to grow and be about to break at the same time. The context. Finetwork has in Pre -conclusion of creditors Since May 2025. The Alicante operator signed in 2019 an agreement with Vodafone to function as a virtual mobile operator (OMV) using its network. A key alliance To expand through Spanish territory, be competitive in rates and try to stand up to unstoppables such as Digi. The debt. In 2021, Finetwork starts to breach payments for the use of Vodafone network: months without paying, partial payments and out of time. At the same time, Finetwork did more than visible an aggressive marketing investment. Sponsorships to the Spanish National Team and LaLiga teams. Sports figures such as Fernando Alonso either Pedro Acosta. Musical events with stars such as Alejandro Sanz or Manuel Carrasco. In 2022, Finetwork spent about 10% of its annual turnover in sponsorships. Óscar Vilda, CEO of the operator, aimed after knowing these data that the objective of the company was to cut its exposure to sponsors in 60%. The rocket. While a debt was cooked that would end up being unassumable, Finetwork exceeded the 1.2 million lines in 2024with an expected turnover of 165 million euros (year -on -year growth of more than 30%). A company that returned to benefits in 2023, continued to expand in 2024 and faces a 2025 key. Asterion will assume the debt of more than 100 million and close the purchase for about 200. The challenges. Finetwork has been maneuvering for months to ensure the service despite the conflictsomething that has not prevented him from offering aggressive and competitive rates, With fiber and mobile from € 14.90 direct hunting of competitors fighting in the lowest prices. The acquisition comes in full reconfiguration of the Spanish telecos market. Masorange is stronger than ever, Vodafone in the hands of Zegona, and Telefónica in full race to lead in Spain. Beyond the three big names, Finetwork will be as a player to stand up to the earthquake in Spain: a digi that does not stop growing and aspires to become In third Spanish operator in the short term.

It turns out that it is destroying innovation

by

In recent years, many companies have sought formulas to convince their employees to return to offices. The main argument to justify that return to face -to -face was the loss of Equipment cohesion But, above all, the assumption Freezo to innovation and the productivity that Telework had meant. To appease the employees that they raised in rebellion, the companies implemented Hybrid Day Modelswhich has ended up being the Type of majority day. A Published study In Nature magazine he has just demonstrated that this type of day was the worst option for employees to generate new ideas. Hybrid work: the hook to return to the office. The hybrid work model, which allows us to work a few days from home and others from the office, has been presented as the ideal solution for combine the best of both worlds However, a recent study by researchers from the universities of Essex and Chicago maintains that this modality could be having A negative effect Unexpected: Innovation in organizations is braking. The Promise of hybrid work has been raised as A reward For whom They accept to return to the officeallowing them to telework between one and four days per week. The study analyzes work habits and its impact on the generation of ideas, and reveals that the hybrid model not only does not improve innovation, but also reduces it. The hybrid model: the most implemented and ineffective option. According to data from the ‘Hays Guide of the labor market 2025’42% of companies have opted for this model of day with a series of face -to -face and others remote days. The research was carried out with “highly trained technology professionals; practically all have university or advanced titles in an engineering field” working in HCl Technologies, a technological company in India. The study indicates that “during the next hybrid period, the new ideas generation rate decreased.” In addition, it is concluded that “an employee takes about 111 months, or a little over 9 years, generate an idea.” During hybrid work, employees generated an average of 0.007 ideas per month (143 months or just under 12 years). The model that best lent to the generation of ideas was the 100% face -to -face model, but the results They were very similar to those shown by those workers who made their day 100% remotely. The importance of being in the same space. Researchers highlight that innovation usually arises from “random and spontaneous interactions among employees.” These interactions can be given both in physical spaces, as well as the office cafeteriaas in virtual environments, through chats or informal channels. Both work in the office and 100% remote allow employees to share the same space (physical or virtual) and, therefore, facilitate these coincidences and the generation of ideas. In this way, both the face -to -face and remote model can adapt to encourage the generation of ideas through common spaces. On the other hand, in the hybrid model, “an additional coordination problem arises if some employees are in ‘virtual coffee shops’ while others are in real coffee shops“This makes it difficult for all members to coincide in the same space and at the same time, which reduces spontaneous interaction opportunities. Where is my team? The researchers emphasize that “innovation falls particularly abruptly in teams that vary greatly between being at home and the office, compared to the less scattered equipment.” Thus, while office employees can Talk to each other In person, remote employees have the tools to generate these online conversations, and “programming a conversation can be more difficult in hybrid mode.” This lack of coincidence and coordination not only translates into a lower generation of ideas, their quality is also reduced.

The new Samsung are three folding phones. Your official store already has them cheaper and even with a gift cover

by

A new July that has arrived with a new samsung’s unpacked. The South Korean firm chosen this month to present Its three new folding phonesthree very different options that allow us to have several options according to our needs, preferences or budget. Yes indeed: It is in the official store Where cheaper is cheaper to buy them. We tell you more about your launch promotion. The best prices for these folding we have them in the official store No matter what new folding of the three that we announced, since in the official store it is where we will have the best purchase conditions. Everything starts with Fold your storagewhich will allow us to take a memory option of these devices and pay the price of the immediately lower option. Said more easily: If we buy a 512 GB model we will pay the 256 GB model price. To this, we must add the delivery and premiere program of Samsung. Thanks to this, we can deliver our old device and save to the fullest in the purchase, specifically up to 800 euros discount. In addition, we will obtain an additional discount if we use Bizum as a payment method (50 euros for the Z FLIP7 and 100 euros for the Z FOLD7). If, in addition, we make the purchase from the official Samsung app, we will get an additional discount of 10%. We will also have payment facilities, since the company allows to finance purchases up to 36 months. And be careful, because the exclusive colors of the official store also come with a gift cover and we can save up to 100 euros in the new Galaxy Watch8 and Watch Ultra if we make the joint purchase. Samsung launches a new galaxy z flip much more affordable Although traditionally the Korean company has launched two folding in each generation, this time we have three options. That is because, for the first time, Samsung has opted to launch a cheaper version of one of them: the Galaxy Z Flip XX. This device is ideal for anyone who seeks Samsung’s folding experience, But at a much more tight price. Despite its reduced price, it has many strengths. Its exterior screen, for example, is 3.4 inches, just like the one that mounted The galaxy z flip6. Besides, comes with an exyn 2400 insideprocessor accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of storage according to which we choose. All without forgetting its 4,000 mAh battery and its double camera system. If we like this type of fold, but we want the best option that Samsung has right now, then perhaps the galaxy z Flip7 fits more. This new device premieres The largest exterior screen of a Samsung flip to dateoccupying the entire outer surface of the device on this occasion (except for the cameras, of course). And eye: because it also has a 120 Hz soda rate. To this we must add that there is a step above the previous model at several points, as in its processor (exyn 2500 in this case), in RAM (12 GB) and even in the battery (which is 4,300 mAh). Besides, It is also finer than the previous modelwhich makes it easier to carry it in your pocket even when we have it folded. Now to talk about Samsung’s launch promotion. The device reaches stores from 1,209 euros in its 256 GB version, but thanks to bending your storage We can take the 512 GB version at this price. At that price, we can apply a discount of 50 euros to pay with Bizum and the additional 10% of the app. All this leaves it in 1043.10 euros. * Some price may have changed from the last review The new Galaxy Z Fold7 is the best folding of the company to date In addition to the previous two, we will also be able to put the glove to the new Galaxy Z FOLD7, a device that exceeds in many ways to the previous z fold6. It is the finest and most light folding that Samsung has manufactured to date, both when we carry it closed and open. In fact, precisely one of the things that most attracts attention is its thickness, which is just 8.9 millimeters closedpractically as a conventional phone. The two screens grow with respect to the previous model, reaching the interior at 8 inches. Besides, It is also the most powerful folding to date (Thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy) and also the one with the best cameras, being its main sensor of 200 megapixels. Not only that, but it is also more resistant thanks to its Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and Armor aluminium. A round device and the best folding work of the company to date. How much can this new folding come out? Its launch price for the 256 GB version is 2,109 euros, but now we can take the 512 GB version at this price. If we use bizum to pay we will take A direct discount of 100 euros To which, in fact, we can also add the 10% discount by making the purchase from the app. All this leaves us at a price 1,808.10 euros. * Some price may have changed from the last review Some of the links of this article are affiliated and can report a benefit to Xataka.

There is a region in Latin America that has more oil than all Saudi Arabia. And yet it produces 12 times less

by

To the east of Venezuela, the Orinoco oil strip wants to return to its golden age, but faces political, economic and technical challenges. Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserve in the world: 300,878 million barrels. To put it in perspective, Saudi Arabia has in its territory a reserve of 267,000 million barrels. A Treasury. The Venezuelan crude is concentrated in the Orinoco oil strip, a region of 55,314 square kilometers east of the country that extends over the Orinoco River basin. The Orinoco oil girdle It is rich in heavy and extrapeted oil, a type of dense and viscous crude that requires more expensive and challenging refining processes to transform into usable products, such as gasoline and diesel. The twenty -first country in oil production. The Orinoco oil strip has been known since January 1936, when the American company Standard Oil of New Jersey did the first well: “La Canoa-1”, in the state of Anzoátegui. But gigantic. Despite its age, the Orinoco oil strip remains the largest crude oil reserve. And yet, he has been unable to lift his head for years due to the political and technical and economic sanctions that surround it. In its oil peak, Venezuela produced three million barrels per day. Today is the Twenty -first country in the world In oil production with 770,000 barrels a day, from behind even neighboring Colombia. The United States, Saudi Russia and Arabia lead the ranking with 8-12 million barrels per day. A challenge and an opportunity. The sanctions on Venezuelan oil, led by the United States government, rose for six months in October 2023, which allowed a shy return of foreign companies to the Orinoco oil strip. The moratorium evidenced that the Venezuelan oil sector has problems beyond the political; structural problems. After years of negligence, corruption and economic crisis, Venezuelan oil needs foreign investment to modernize the expensive infrastructure with which it extracts and processes heavy crude. Although the sanctions were activated last year as a pressure measure of the Biden administration against the government of Nicolás Maduro, now foreign companies have the opportunity to obtain individual licenses to mitigate their effect, which shows some sprout of hope for a country in which oil remains an economic engine. The Petroleum Momentum of Latin America. The modernization of infrastructure, the attraction of foreign investment and the stabilization of the economy are crucial steps, but we do not know if enough to recover all the economic potential of the Orinoco oil strip. The context seems flattering. Latin American countries are involved in A “gold fever” of oil in which the most extreme case is that of the also Guyana neighbor, which has seen a growth of 33% of GDP thanks to the reserves discovered in its coasts in 2015. Meanwhile, Brazil has climbed to the 8th place in the world production of oil and Mexico is in the 11th place. What if falling? The question that floats in the air is the same for all these countries, what will happen to their investments when the expected drop in oil demand By effect of energy transition? For now, much of the world moves as if we were going to continue burning oil for many years. Maybe that is the answer.

Exactly 100 years ago we began to understand how the world works. Quantum physics has radically changed our lives

by

Well, not exactly 100 years ago. 100 years ago and one day. On July 9, 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg sent a letter to his friend Wolfgang Pauli, who at that time was already a very renowned theoretical physicist of Austrian origin. Heisenberg had been engaged for several months in the development of an idea that was permanently breaking with The classical conception of the atom as a tiny planetary system in which electrons orbit around a nucleus constituted by protons and neutrons. That letter contained several reflections that Pauli knew how to appreciate. In fact, shortly after receiving it Max Born, Pascual Jordan and Wolfgang Pauli himself took the work of Werner Heisenberg as a starting point to prepare for the first time in history a mature formulation of Quantum theory. The content of that letter supports nothing more and nothing less the most ambitious and precise framework in the history of science: Standard model of particle physics. Without him many of the technologies we enjoy today would not be possible. Quantum mechanics is very present in our day to day “Dear Pauli, if he believes that I read his letter laughing mockingly, he is deeply mistaken. Actually, the opposite happens; from Helgoland (it is a small German island located in the North Sea) my views on the mechanics have become more radical every day that passes, and I am firmly convinced that Bohr’s theory of the hydrogen atom in its current form Zeeman “. The article ‘Umdeutung’ (‘Reinterpretation’) of Heisenberg is considered the birth certificate of modern quantum theory The first lines of Heisenberg’s letter They clearly reflect the trust and respect he professed towards Pauli. And also how much the revolutionary ideas I had in mind were disturbed. In fact, a few lines later confess to having many doubts about the way he could carry out The rigorous formulation of those thoughts: “As for my own opinion about this scribble, with which I am not at all satisfied: I am firmly convinced of the value of the negative and critical part, but I consider that the positive part is rather poor. Even so, perhaps those most capable that I can get something sensible to it.” The scribble that Heisenberg speaks was actually the draft of his famous article ‘Umdeutung’ (‘Reinterpretation’), which shortly after was published. Many physicists consider that text the birth certificate of Modern Quantum Theory. Neither more nor less. Anyway, there is no doubt: during the next 100 years Heisenberg’s ideas and other physicists who also made decisive contributions to quantum theory, such as Wolfgang Pauli, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, Paul Am Douc, Niels Bohr or Albert Einstein, triggered the birth of many of the technologies we currently use. Integrated circuits containing all our electronic devices, Solar panelsmagnetic resonance machines, The lasers or the atomic watches that allow the human being to measure time with an unprecedented precision would not be possible without the knowledge that modern quantum theory has given us. And, of course, without this model we would not have Quantum computers. Objectively, and it is not at all an exaggeration, Quantum physics is present in much of modern technology. And all probability will continue to be in many of the innovations that will arrive in the future. That is not the slightest doubt. After all, it is the best tool we have to understand how the world works.

In full Tourism expansion international and with housing turned into the Great broken down With the head of the Spaniards, the government wants to cut short of short stay rents. To achieve it A few months ago presented its system of Single window and “registration number”, A new formula with which he intends to guarantee that those who rent their houses to tourists (even rooms) or through seasonal contracts do so complying with the laws of the sector. Now, with the new system of registration already advanced, the ministry has The first data. And they give us an interesting clue about the regions of Spain (surprisingly few) that suffer the most of the holiday rental pressure. What happened? That the government is putting the new system with which it intends to order the short -term rentals. A few days ago the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (Mivau) revealed that since January 2, it has received more than 215,400 applications from owners interested in obtaining a “rental registration number” for its properties, the tuition that since July 1 they need to announce and operate on platforms such as Booking or Airbnb. Something more than half of those requests (134,300) arrived at the Ministry last month, which explains that not all are at the same point. According to the governmentthere are 94,200 that have already been activated definitively and 102,700 that have provisional green light, so you must still receive the guarantee of the College of Registrars. Another 18,500 have run worse luck and were revoked. Sum and follow requests. Although the system has just activated an idea of ​​the amount of short stay rents operating in the country. On Monday, a week after the balance of Mivau, Idealista published Updated figures that raise the total requests to more than 260,000, which shows that the drip of requests remains at a good pace. Moreover, the platform appointment A manager of the College of Registrars who estimates that at the end of June the 30,000 daily applications were reached, a rhythm that would now be around 10.00 or 15,000. Idealist Share Another interesting fact: To date, 22,000 homemade requests have been denied that have run out of the registration number that allows them to operate on the main digital platforms. The reason? Many incurred in the same three errors: their homes lacked license, they did not have the endorsement of the community of owners or can only be dedicated to residential use. For rent or season. Before following it is important to understand that not all owners request a registration number for the same. There are those who do it to rent their houses to tourists (the majority) and those who want to opt for the market of the season leasewhich is the one who demand, for example, the storms, researchers, students, athletes … in general any person who needs a house in which to stay a few months. The first case represents 78.9% of the requests until July. The second, 21.1%. Although these are different casuistics, both are considered “short -lived rentals” that from now on operate with the single digital window and a registration number that must be visible on the platforms. The objective, Underline Minister Isabel Rodríguez, is “to end the illegal tourist floors that expel families from their neighborhoods” and to use temporary rental to mock the law. What the data reveals. The figures Published by the Rodríguez department are interesting for another reason: they give us an interesting clue about the regions of the country most pressured by the short stay rentals, especially holidays. Of all the applications activated definitively at the end of June for tourist leases, the majority (82.22%) are concentrated in five regions: Andalusia, Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Catalonia and the Valencian C.. If we talk about provisional authorizations, that half dozen regions agglutinates 69.22% of permits. “This assumes that more than three out of four requests for registration numbers for tourist rental are concentrated in these five autonomous communities,” Clarify The Ministry of Housing. That 82% do not mean that the five communities agglutinate eight out of ten tourist rentals, but eight out of ten applications processed and approved today (the final photography can still vary). Still it is revealing. Can you get off in detail? Yeah. Mivau requires that at least at the end of June it was possible to identify Hot points in each of those five communities. In the case of Andalusia, which accumulated 49,397 requests, the vast majority (27,936) of Malaga. In the Canary Islands highlight Gran Canaria and Tenerife, which brought respectively 16,7100 and 13,300 applications of the 30,000 of the archipelago. Ministry data shows a similar trend in Catalonia or the Valencian Community. The bulk of the requests part of the provinces of Costa. Barcelona processed 9,500, Tarragona 6,600 and Girona 9,500, which between the three total 92% of the total. In C. Valenciana (21,900 applications in total), 14,500 left Alicante, 2,900 of Castellón and about 4,500 of Valencia.
