Madrid, is positioned as the new mecca for Luxury Property Investors worldwide. A report by the Luxury Real Estate Consultant Barnes, places it as the most attractive option for ultra -ups who want to invest or set their residence, unseating cities such as Dubai, Miami, Monaco or Milan. Madrid conquers the portfolios of the ultra -ups. The report ‘Global Property Handbook 2025‘Prepared by the consultant Barnes analyzed the investments of more than 100,000 clients, partners and collaborators, has raised Madrid as the most attractive city for Ultra -ups (also known as UHNWI) with an availability of at least 30 million dollars in net assets. Madrid has climbed positions until reaching first place in the index Barnes City Index 2025that every year classifies the best cities to invest in high -value real estate. The capital has climbed four positions in 2025 leaving behind the historical of this ranking such as London, Paris or New York. A door to Europe full of opportunities. One of the reasons for the rise of Madrid in this classification is its ability to offer ultra -up investors A balance between professional opportunities, thanks to the concentration of large multinationals that are concentrated in the capital, and a high quality of life. The rise of Madrid against other historical capitals is due to a booming trend among millionaire investors to possess a “Pied-à-Terre“In a city on each side of the Atlantic. These ultra -rank investors use those high -end homes as a basis for doing business on both continents. Hence the increase of Latin American investors with properties in Miami, which also have bought a residence in the most exclusive neighborhoods of the capital. The neighborhoods most demanded by the millionaires. Barnes’s report provides some data on the neighborhoods that monopolize all these multimillion -dollar real estate investments. Neighborhoods such as Salamanca, Justicia, Chamberí, Chamartín and Cortes have become The most sought afterreaching prices of up to 13,000 euros per square meter, with revaluation of up to 30% in a single year. The attractiveness of these neighborhoods is not only in the quality and dimensions of the buildings built in that neighborhoods, but is complemented by luxury boutiques and excellent restaurants. Barcelona and Marbella also shine with their own light. Madrid is not the only Spanish city that attracts luxury investment. Barcelona is in the 22nd position of the ranking and is the third city that has climbed the most positions with respect to 2024. In its ascent it has surpassed cities like Lisbon, Los Angeles, Amsterdam or Beijing. Its appeal lies in its modernist architecture, its cosmopolitan atmosphere and a consolidated business fabric. On the other hand, Marbella has also experienced A remarkable ascentclimbing 12 positions until position 35 on the list. Its privileged climate, its high -end leisure offer and the commitment to the Innovation of Technological Campus From near Malaga, they make it a highly demanded destination by international investors.

In the 70s, wines without vintage were the worst of the worst. Now there are CVC bottles above 700 euros

by

Harvesting, parenting, reserve, great reserve and, well, CVC. That is, the acronym of “set of several crops”; A denomination that, at least since 1974, usually designates The worst of the worst of Spanish wine. Or that thought most of the regulators, of the industry and, above all, of the consumers. And so? Because? European standards allow to introduce up to 15% of wine from previous crops to “improve” the wine of the vintage in question. In essence, except in systems such as young and soleras, wine is largely bottled luck. Each vintage is the result of a particular concatenation of human, climatic and geological phenomena: each bottle is the sum of a very long conversation between the world and the human being. Therefore, the usual practice told us that it was a bad signal that a vintage needs more than 15%. There was too much to fix. But they were prejudices. In 2017, Marcos Eguren He took the market A CVC to 750 the bottle. People were scandalized, but did it for pure prejudices. It is not only that the Sierra Cantabria has not stopped growing in price, but that some of the most important (and expensive) wines of the country were already CVC: the best example is The Special Reservethe top of the highest range of Vega Sicily. In a social context in which the “duplicate wines” They begin to appear strongly And in which climate change puts against the ropes to the warehouses of the main wine regions, it makes no sense to produce with one hand tied behind the back: the same wine mixing technique that serves to mask bad vintages can be used to generate exceptional wines. Rudy Kurniawan is The best example. Why were we going to give up it? And the answer is complicated. Above all, because there are a lot of ways of drinking wine. For a good part of consumers, this does not try broths with exceptional organoleptic properties (which also); This is taking sip to sip The history of a small portion of land on the planet. With their dramas, their water stress and the magic of fermentation. Even in wines such as those of the Jerez framework where a very high homogeneity and a higher quality, the differences between centuries of centuries is something wonderful is achieved. The issue is that for another much of the consumers, a glass of wine is not had to carry a oenological, climate and agronomic trip by the Rioja, the Burgundy or Bordeaux. These want a glass of wine to be a glass of wine, because they were not going to aspire to the best wine they can get for a certain price? A revolution that affects everything. It is a general trend: everyone seems to divide into boutiques that do something small, personal and high quality and franchises that produce simple, homogeneous and highly standardized products. Pass with hamburgers, Pass the gyms… How wasn’t it going to happen to the wine? The doubt now is how this wine revolution impacts without vintage in a sector that climate change and international competition is hitting very hard.

60 euros for a camera, 90 for a game. The worst (and best) of Nintendo prices for switch 2

by

More than 24 hours have passed since the announcement of Nintendo’s switch 2that we have even reached Person in Person in Paris With journalists from all over Europe. And after the impact of the novelty, one of the revelations (which was not done on the Direct, but subsequently leaked) does not end up dissipating: the price. In social networks and among fans it is one of the issues that are most doubts: Has it gone from braking Nintendo? Are there things you should not charge for? We have reviewed a few prices announced for devices and services related to Switch 2, and we clarify what they think. Switch 2: 469.99 euros. He came to rumore at the time that would cost 400 euros, and there were already those who shout in the sky. 329.95 euros was what cost the Switch 1, that is, with this Nintendo has risen almost 50%. It is a higher power console, but comparable to its predecessor, as demonstrated by the strong retrocompatibility between consoles. With Few novelties at hardware levelthe big question for this generation of Nintendo consoles is whether such a rise is justified. Games: up to 90 euros. He Price of ‘Mario Kart World’ It is being the meal of the fans for a very simple reason. Nintendo is not only taking advantage of the fact that the game is going to be sold as hot bread (or is forcing, between the lines, to buy the console with the game included): it is opening the door for AAA releases in the coming months. No one in the industry doubts that, after this step, ‘GTA VI ‘ It will cost at least a hundred euros, perhaps more. 90 euros for a game in which we are going to literally invest hundreds of hours may not be too much: what scares is what comes next. Nintendo Switch 2: 59.99 euros chamber. One of the Switch 2 Direct Dishes was the emphasis that was made in the possibility of chatting with friends (exclusive online function, by the way), on divided screens and in the same game or different. It will also serve for new ‘Mario Party’ games, where good use of the chamber possibilities will be made. In the must, it has no micro … and unofficial alternatives are already appearing such as This carnivorous plantsomething cheaper. For our liking, a very exclusive product with a limited life and a price of authentic whim. Nintendo Gamecube command (GCN): 69.99 euros. Highly exclusive, since it will only be available for Nintendo Switch online subscribers and, at first, those who have received an invitation to reserve a Switch 2 will be offered. In any case, another excess for a whim: Gamecube games are welcome in the online switch catalog, but some restriction like that it arrives exclusively at switch 2 Help Nintendo make friends. MicroSD Express cards: 59.99 euros. The fact that the first switch memory cards, the classic microSD are also not going to be compatible with the Switch 2. It is a necessary format, yes, so that the loads are faster. Switch 2: € 89.99 Switch command. Significantly, one of the most expensive gadgets that can be bought for Switch 2, but also one of the most profitable: the command is not only great and almost mandatory for more demanding games. You also have to keep in mind that the pro of the first switch will be compatible with Switch 2: The only novelty of this new version is button C to activate the chat. Of course, if you don’t have it the purchase is almost obliged. 1: 80 euros switch games. It is understandable that the improvements in switch games to be enjoyed on Switch 2 have a certain price, although here they are in the limits of the reasonable, around one thousand and two thousand yen (around ten euros). Less sensible seems to charge 80 euros for games such as ‘Breath of the Wild’ or ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, as well as other games that enjoy improvements in Switch 2, such as ‘Mario Part Jamboree’ or Kirby’s, if the original version is not available and they want to buy from new ones. ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Welcomo Tour’: around 10 euros. This kind of camouflaged technical demo is not especially expensive (990 yen are in the Japanese tab), but let’s not fool ourselves: it should come as a gift with the console. What a welcome is if charged! Let us remember a much more generosity case (and with a game that, in principle, paints much better): the magnificent ‘Astro’s Playroom’ that served to discover the characteristics of PlayStation 5 and was included with the console.

about 100 euros per title

by

He takes so much speaking that ‘GTA VI‘It will cost $ 100 that almost nobody is surprised by the figure. It is normal: the launches of the large titles of the sector often are around 70 or 80 euros, and although the debate on that price increase without brake continues, there is something that we did not see coming: a Mario Kart at 90 euros. ‘Mario Kart World’ for Ricos. The presentation of the new Nintendo Switch 2 He has left a lot of open debates, but one of them revolves around the price of his video games. The first of its exclusive titles is a promising ‘Mario Kart World’ in which the graphics and options are more striking than ever, but there is a problem: the physical edition will cost 90 euros. A new ribbon. Nintendo responsible have clearly indicated in the official store of the company, which distinguishes between the digital edition (79.99 euros) and physics (89.99 euros). The other great Nintendo game for this launch, ‘Donkey Kong Baniza’, will cost 10 euros less in both formats, and the message is clear and crystalline: Nintendo’s exclusive will not come out cheap. If you want better graphics, it’s time to pay. The same will happen with the Remasterizations of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ and ‘Tears of Kingdom’, which return with improved versions that take advantage of the new and promising hardware of the Nintendo Switch 2. If however to enjoy them they will not serve the games we already had: We will have to buy them again. A hook to buy the switch 2 in ‘pack’ format. You also have to keep in mind that there will be two versions of the Nintendo Switch 2. The first, without the ‘Mario Kart World’, will cost 469.99 euros. The second, which includes that game, will cost 509.99 euros. That is a difference of 40 euros, although it is not clear if the version included is digital or physical. Be that as it may, savings in the price of the game is at least 50%, a very succulent offer that can shoot the sales of that first exclusive title. They are lentils. Little can players do in this case, and here Nintendo acts as a de facto monopoly because their games are absolutely exclusive and enclose you in the firm’s ecosystem. In other video games there is the possibility of opting for versions of other platforms (PC, Xbox, PS5), but with exclusive ones such as ‘Mario Kart World’ there is only one option. Something like this happened with the Price climb of game pass, very criticized by the FCC but that has been implemented anyway. Sony already did the same with the PS5. The arrival of the PS5 also marked a before and after in the price of video games. On that occasion the firm made it clear that the price of AAA games It would become $ 80 in its standard versions. But friends, inflation must be taken into account. However, price increases are reasonable when we adjust them to these times. As can be seen in the image, the average price adjusted to inflation at that time makes it clear that those of the PlayStation 5 were among the most expensive of the last 20 years, but there were still worse times. And above, tariffs. The tariff war initiated by the Trump administration probably aggravates the problem. China and Mexico have an important weight in the manufacture of games in physical format, and the measures imposed by the US probably cause physical games more expensive than ever. Nintendo may simply adapted to this new and reality. In Xataka | Nintendo Switch 2 had one of its battle horses in retrocompatibility.

400 million euros for the electric car and the same as always

by

The Government has confirmed the renewal of the MOVES III PLAN. More than two months after Congress knocked down the decree boum in which Aids for the purchase of electric cars were collectedthe Executive has managed to extend the plan that already existed and make it retroactive. It will be available until the funds are exhausted on December 31, 2025 The latter is important because it does not leave any buyer that he has acquired his electric car in 2025 behind. Remember that the approval of a new Moves Aids continued to be approved. From here, uncertainty. To start because, adding those days of 2025, The approved aids exceeded the budgeted amount. With the successive extensions, 1,550 million euros were available but the requests added 1,579 million euros. And, secondly, because from the beginning it has been ensured that all purchases made in January, February and March of an electric car that will enter the Moves Plan (less than 45,000 euros before the application of VAT) were going to be delivered to buyers. In spite Xataka different companies. Now we know that the program continues in the same terms we had with a Temporary extension of 400 million of euros. A program that can support at a time when the registrations of this type of technology have triggered. Aids that have the challenge of being more agile The aid of the Moves III Plan, which now recover, have the following format for the purchase of a tourism: Electric and electrical car of extended autonomy (more than 90 kilometers of electric autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle with more than seven years of seniority is accused. Plug -in hybrid (between 30 and 90 kilometers of electrical autonomy: 2,500 euros of minimal aid and 5,000 euros if a vehicle with more than seven years old is accused. Fuel battery (without minimal autonomy): 4,500 euros of minimum aid and 7,000 euros of help if a vehicle is accused more than seven years old. These amounts They increase by 10% When the task of the vehicle is taxi, it is purchased by a person with reduced mobility or in a municipality with less than 5,000 inhabitants. In addition, with the extension of the Moves III Plan, the 15% dismissal in the income statement for the purchase of an electric car (with a maximum of 3,000 euros. The fall in aid had arrived at the worst time because the market gave symptoms that this technology was taken off. In fact, with figures from the first quarter of the yearWe know that the electric car has grown by 64.22%, until reaching 22,028 registrations. But, above all, it has been 6.66% market share, which is a great advance for previous years where it did not pass or cost to reach 5%. It remains to know how many of these registrations were already closed before the fall in January of the Moves III Plan and are being registered now. With the registrations of the month of April we should verify If the fall of the Moves III Plan was leaving a lot of hangover in the market or purchases have continued. What we will not have is a change in the bureaucracy of aid. Asked for this, Sara Aagesen, Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, has assured that He has worked to expedite processes But aid will continue to be processed by the Autonomous Communities. The current process has been repeatedly criticized by manufacturers and buyers since the delivery of aid was delayed to the point that some clients did not see the entry of them Until more than three years old. More than a year ago than The Government promised To change this and deliver the aid as a discount that we would find when buying the car. At the moment, it has not happened.

In South Korea offered 14,000 euros to young people in exchange for them to get married. Young people did the same

by

With $ 14,000 you can cover holes, take a few sabbatical months to travel around the world or invest in that business that has been around your head for years. What you will not get is to match two South Koreans to marry, form a home and have children to help the country out of the deep crisis of birth in which it has been mired for years. We know it because in Korea there are administrations that already They have thrown out of a checkbook and reached those figures (more than 10,000 dollars) in their efforts to act as a casameros. All without success. Moreover, that commitment to administrations to encourage matches is having a peculiar effect: it has made singleness A true business. Question of love … and money. In his efforts to leave the demographic pothole in which he has been plunged for a long time, he has not hesitated to pull a check -up. Its reasoning is simple: if birth can be encouraged with money, the government is willing to put it on the table. In recent months the authorities of the country have proposed to deliver large ‘baby checks’ to its citizens, offer Fiscal incentives To families with children, expand parental permits or even guarantee that the new moms have access to select food. Another of the country’s great bets has been to match its young people. And that has gone so much to create appointment programs Designed specifically for single to find love how to make it easy at the economic level, offering money so that the cost of a romantic dinner is not an obstacle. Perhaps it sounds exaggerated, but there is a fact that explains it: in South Pareja and Bulality they go hand in hand. So much, that less than 5% From babies they are born out of marriage. How much money do we talk about? A lot A good part of the southern Korean pairing programs start from regional organizations, so that photography can vary from one area to another of the country; But it arrives with a quick turn by Google to see news from cities or districts that try to raise their birth rate with expensive pairing programs. Recently We talked to you of the Seoul case, where the Metropolitan Government studied to deliver 700 euros to the couples who marry there. It is a lot. Although not as much as in other cities. In Busan, one from the main ones Metropolitan Areas of South Korea and that is suffering the effects of the demographic crisis in a form particularly hardthey have gone a step further blessing the new couples with hundreds of dollars. What does that translate? In which money ceases to be an obstacle to throwing girlfriend (or boyfriend). In June The Korea Herald He informed That one of the districts of Busan, Saha-Gu, planned a pilot project with local singles born between 1981 and 2001 to which it offered 360 dollars (to spend on appointments) only for ‘doing Match ‘ With someone. That is, each couple who left the event grabbed by the hand and with plans to be added 700 dollars for their romance. A figure: $ 14,000. Those 360 ​​dollars per person to enjoy as a couple were only the first part of the SAHA-gu program. The idea was to increase support as the relationship progressed until you reach the great wedding gift: 20 million wones In advance for couples who give themselves the ‘yes I want’, about $ 13,600. The district was even willing to offer newly married a larger deposit if they decided to buy a house or help them with rent. Such a bet is better understood in the light of the demographic tables of the Metropolitan City of Busan: if at the beginning of the 90s it passed from the 3.8 million inhabitantsin 2010 it was at 3.4 million. The trend does not clash with that of the country as a whole, which At the end of 2024 It became a “aging super society”, with 20% of its population above 65 years. Do these aid work? That was the big question that was driving … and just answered The Wall Street Journal (TWSJ) with A report in which the title is almost a sentence: “Not even a governmental aid of $ 14,000 can make the single South Korea marry.” Despite the promise of receiving a wedding gift of $ 14,000, the Saha-Gu program was not very successful. TWSJ assures that no participant demanded that reward. And that Saha-Gu is just one of the aid to which couples can opt. TWSJ remembers that not all support leaves administrations and that there are also religious companies or organizations that try to reverse the country’s demographic crisis. Two examples are the construction company Booyoung Group, which offered $ 75,000 to employees who have a child; and the Yoido full gospel churchwhich gives its members almost $ 1,400. The big question. With such incentives the question is evident. Why don’t South Koreans marry? Why do your birth continue well below of that of years ago? Part of the answer are social and cultural changes. TWSJ He quotes a survey recent that shows that three fifths of the South Koreans with employment do not see the slightest problem in not going through the altar, a factor to which others of an economic nature are added, such as the long working daysincreased cost of living or how will be The parenting of children in a society characterized by their demand level and competitiveness. Another key are The difficulties with which women are to rejoin to the labor market after being mothers. In fact there are courtship programs that have ended up suspending precisely because they could not gather a sufficient number of interested women. Other young people rule out simply registering for the heavy bureaucracy that accompanies this kind of initiatives. “It’s more problematic than you imagine,” Recognize one to TWSJ.

The government wanted to promote the electric car after the Dana with 10,000 euros of help. Everything indicates that he has not delivered any

by

On October 29, 2024, tragedy began. Various autonomous communities of eastern Spain but, above all, the Valencian Community saw how strong rains and the posterior floods left 225 dead in their path and three missing people that have not yet been found. Although the Term Dana refers to an “isolated depression in high levels” (the famous cold drop), in memory it has remained as Dana de Valencia What lived on the border between October and November 2024. Some floods that also left the material damage that affected 360,000 people. Months later we have known that he points to 141,000 cars affected by the floods. Most of them insurmountable although we have had images that leave us some optimism, saving vehicles with half a century behind them. Trying to recover normality, populations faced the challenge of What to do with the greatest scratch in history of Spain and how to recover from the consequences. Among those measures to replenish all those vehicles, At the end of November 2024 the government announced that launched the Plan Reinicia Auto+. With him he wanted to give financial aid to those who had lost his car with the floods, delivering an economic amount for the purchase of a new vehicle. The program contemplated the delivery of aid both for the purchase of new and second -hand vehicles but rewarded those who jump to zero emissions. Specifically, the Aid They are distributed as follows: New vehicles with zero label: 10,000 euros. New vehicles with ECO label or C: 5,000 euros. Second -hand vehicles with zero label: 4,000 euros. Second -hand vehicles with ECO label or C: 2,000 euros. Vehicles for people with reduced mobility will have extra help of 1,000 euros more and 500 euros on three -wheeled motorcycles. Motorcycle aid vary between 2,000 euros and 500 euros depending on whether they are new or second -hand and its ecological rating. The problem is that the Ministry of Industry and Tourism has already submitted the accrediting document with the relationship of the beneficiaries of these aid. But, there is no help to a car of zero emissions. What happens? Aid that seem frozen First of all, the first thing to be clear about is how the aids of the Reinicia Auto+Plan are delivered. As explained in the Article 9 of Royal Decree-Law 8/2024 in which urgent measures are collected to help those affected by the DANA, the procedure is the following: If the client had already bought the car before the aid was opened (they did it on December 18), the dealers had to make an entry to the beneficiaries once the aid was approved with the corresponding file. If the client had not yet bought the car, the concessionaire processed the aid and it was discounted from the final price of the car once all taxes were applied. In The automotive tribune They explain that the first aid began to surrender last February. By then, more than 10,000 subsidies to purchase had been requested and as the delay in the deliveries of the aid was affecting customers, in some cases the vehicles began to be delivered before receiving the money with the concessionaire’s commitment to return that money afterwards. But these grants have only been arriving in vehicles with a C and echo label of the DGT, according to Digital economythat raise the number of aid to More than 25,000 files For this type of vehicles. These aid are reflected in the accrediting document of the beneficiaries of the same. Indeed, as can be seen in this document, there is no approved help to cars with zero DGT emissions label. That is, no plug or electric hybrid (both new and second -hand) has received confirmation of such aid for purchase. In the middle they ensure that sources from the Ministry of Industry confirm that “the aid of 10,000 euros are on zero label. Electric cars are paid with European funds, and its processing is being carried out.” From Xataka We have put ourselves in contact With the Ministry of Industry to confirm if this situation is true and where the funds of these aid come from, as well as the procedure that is carried out to deliver them, trying to understand why any car with zero emissions stickers of the DGT has received the approval still for the delivery of said aid. Similarly, we have contacted Faconauto, the largest representative of the Spanish dealers to know if it is true that the aids related to electric cars are frozen or have not received any approval.
