Volkswagen already has its first electric car of 20,000 euros ready. The rest of its cost will pay it with discomfort

by

“Mobility for all.” Those are the words that Volkswagen has used to present its Volkswagen ID. Every1the concept and first advance of the cheapest electric car in the company. A utility that has marked the border of 20,000 euros as a red line. We will not see it, yes, until 2027. Before the one we now know as Volkswagen ID. 2allanother car that used a word game to convince us that we are facing cars that should popularize technology. A challenge in itself. It is a challenge because we talk about cars of 20,000 and 25,000 euros … starting. Vehicles that undoubtedly improve the experience in city but almost abandon the idea of ​​being able to leave a radius of action of about 200 kilometers if it is not folding to important discomforts. What can we expect in the coming years? A little context As we have been following in recent months, the European Union is determined to generalize the use of the electric car above any other technology. At the moment, the prohibition of using Combustion engines that are not neutral in carbon from 2035 is still underway. But we must remember that the objectives in matters of Emissions for 2030 They are very ambitious and are largely electrifying the majority of the fleet sold by manufacturers. Before, in 2027, the average emissions sold by the manufacturers between 2025 and that exercise will be forced Do not exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2. The norm has recently been flexible because it was intended to force (and must still approve its modification) to the manufacturers complying with the aforementioned limit before the end of the year. If they would not have faced a thousand millionaire fines that are now in the air. The European Commission has been folded to MANUFACTURERS REQUIREMENTSYes, but only in part. If in this 2025 a company exceeds the volume of average emissions of 93.6 gr/km of CO2 will have to compensate in the coming years selling all the Electric and plug -in hybrids that can before 2027. And that is where electric cars of between 20,000 and 25,000 euros come into play, the great hope for companies that have pressed everything possible to avoid fines and have received an oxygen ball but will have to face a new red line in the short term again. The big doubt is: is the customer willing to buy these vehicles? Goodbye to the cheap car “for everything” … and “for all” The promise of an electric car of 20,000 euros that is defined as propitious “for anyone” is, in 2025, an ambitious attempt. At least, as we say, with the eyes of 2025 because it is possible that in a few years we have become accustomed to something completely different. It is something that should happen if you want to sell as churros cars like Volkswagen’s. The German company has given few technical details but A 95 hp electric car progresseslimited to 130 km/hy 250 kilometers of autonomy According to WLTP cycle. If those latest data are confirmed, we can expect a road exit to force us to stop every 170-180 kilometers. Of course, they are estimates based on the experience that gives us to try electric vehicles of all kinds. At the moment, as a general rule, at a sustained speed of 120 km/h We can expect a drop of 25-30% in the estimate presented according to the WLTP cycle. We speak, of course, to leave the drums dry. If we estimate 25% less electric autonomy, we talk about traveling 200 kilometers from the pull but If we don’t want shocks We will have to stop in a charger a little earlier. Is that a problem? It depends for those who but, with most of the people with whom I speak, yes. And it is nothing more than a sensation but it seems difficult to sell the benefits of an electric car with an autonomy of 200 kilometers on open road if the potential customer has to spend at least 20,000 euros. Or know very well what is carried or the most normal thing is that it rejects it. Why choose an electric car of 20,000 euros … Although it sounds difficult to believe, a 20,000 euros car with a 250 -kilometer WLTP autonomy can be a large purchase as the only car if the customer knows what he takes. Yes, I am convinced and these are the reasons. The ideal client would be that person who makes more than 40 or 50 kilometers on a day to day And he has a place to load the car. If you usually do not make long trips (one or two a year) you can assume the discomforts of stopping every 180 kilometers when you see the money that has been saved at the end of the month. To give an example, assuming a consumption of 15 kWh/100 km in city and a 10 cents/kWh recharge cost (nothing especially cheap in a home rate) will spend 1.5 euros per 100 kilometers traveled. If 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday, the cost of the week in energy will not reach 4 euros. On the contrary, a hybrid that, on average, makes a consumption of 5 l/100 km in the city, we will be talking about an expense of nine euros per 100 kilometers. Those same 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday increase to 22.5 euros. Every week the driver of an electric car with these figures is saving 18.5 euros. Every month we talk about 74 euros. A year are almost 900 euros. Here We are not counting the cost of maintenance (Change of oils, filters, mobile parts of the combustion engine …), so the expected savings is greater. In addition, we are not contemplating the comfort in comfort that an electric car is in a day -to -day basis. This part is purely subjective but the absence of noise, vibrations and the immediate delivery of the motor torque (although … Read more

rent balconies at 1,000 euros

by

Who has a balcony has a treasure, a very profitable one and that can be measured in hundreds (or even thousands) euros. The important thing is that the terrace in question is located in the right place, such as the route they follow The steps Holy Week in the main cities of Andalusia or the Mascletás that are held in Valencia. There, in the capital of Turia, the rental of viewpoints overlooking the pyrotechnic show has become a lucrative business that moves great sums. There are those who assure that in very special cases, with a company in between, they have come to disburs More than 100,000 euros. The value of a good balcony. A few years ago Ikea launched A campaign in which he invited to take advantage of the unused terraces of Spain. What the Swedish multinational was not imagined is to what extent its advice is applied on some balconies in Spain, viewpoints strategically located for their views of tourist points. Andalusia leaves A good example Every Holy Week in the balconies distributed over the route of religious steps. Bilbao offered another A few months ago during the Copera del Athletic celebration. And every March, in the heat of failure programming, something similar happens in Valencia. The business of renting views. He arrives with a quick search on Google to meet a good handful of websites that rent balconies in buildings in the center of Valencia from which to enjoy The Mascletásthe pyrotechnic show that during Much of March It is celebrated every afternoon (with rain permission) in the Plaza del City Council of Valencia. The viewpoints also serve to follow the night shows that organize certain days, such as L´Albà de las Fallas. Although the experience can be enjoyed perfectly from the ground, there are those who prefer to look for a privileged (and exclusive) viewpoint, several meters high, on the balconies with better views of the square. And that has translated into a lucrative market in which the demand and supply of places of viewpoints and terraces are crossed. It is nothing new. It has happened for now Some time. But that does not mean that the prices that are requested (and paying) for the best places call attention. And how much do they cost? Depends. You can rent loose places. O You can rent complete balconies for a day (or several) of Mascletá. The price varies from one option to another, just as it can do it between balconies. After all, not everyone enjoys the same views of the square, amenities or services. There are some in which the owners, in addition to leasing the space, include A catering service With snacks, snacks, desserts, Free bar drinks And even Ambientation with DJ. Maybe it seems too much, but like I recently remembered The newspaper Levante-El Mercantil Valenciano With the passage of time the rental of balconies during the professionalizing. There are individuals who take advantage of the fact that their houses or offices give to the town hall square to get extra money, but there are also companies that offer more than a terrace with views: they appeal to the experience. Budget issue. Something is clear. Unless you are lucky to live in the surroundings or get one of the squares that are drawn – the City Council It offers invitations Doubles to follow the show from the town hall – enjoying a mascletá from the heights requires scratching the pocket. Prices vary quite a lot, but from the real estate sector they recently recognized that the average daily income from balcony moves between 700 and 1,000 euros during the 19 consecutive days of the show. As for prices per person, they go from the 45 euros that were charged the first days of the festive calendar at 120 of the large days. “Making many gold”. The sector goes further and Recognize a Levant That “profitability is very high” and, despite the high competition that has been generated in recent years, there are those who have managed to make balcony rental during failures a lucrative business. “It’s making many gold,” they add. The figures of course point in that direction. The 7Televalencia regional chain He explained in February That renting a complete balcony for a day from Mascletá costs 4,000 euros. Maybe it seems a lot, but the reserves are being advanced and there are viewpoints that They have almost exhausted Already all its localities, extending the offer beyond the town hall square, to streets such as the blood or marquis of Sotelo. The big figure: 100,000 euros. The regional chain Precise That there are companies that rent for 40 euros/person, others in which this rate rises to 100 euros and signatures that directly offer private viewpoints, without a balcony, but with views through the windows, by minutes that move between 1,200 and 1,300 euros. Who wants something more exclusive and has a private terrace can pay even more, between 1,900 and almost 4,000. If there is a bulky figure, it is nevertheless the one published by the newspaper Levant In 2024When he reported that some companies were offering their most luxurious terraces for between 4,000 and 5,000 euros per day and session. As there are large companies interested in hiring the entire package along the faults that has derived, assured The Valencian newspaper, in payments that exceed 100,000 euros for all parties. Not even those disbursements can fight however against the great enemy of the Mascletá, as it has been clear this year: the rains, which already have forced to suspend Some shows. In fact one of the firms that balconies rent confessed Recently: the forecast was good, but “it has left us headdresses.” Images | Hermenpaca (Flickr) and València’s Decue and JJ Merelo (Flickr) In Xataka | At Christmas tourist, who has a balcony has a treasure: 1,000 euros to see the horses of kings

47% of employees save more than 100 euros per month in derived expenses

by

Teleworking has lost part of the thrust demonstrated during the last four years after the hardening of the policies back to the office. According to him ‘Teleworking Report 2025‘Prepared by the labor consultant Robert Walters, 67% of teleworkors enjoy two or less work days from home. This reflects a clear tendency towards More flexible work modelsbut with greater presence in the office. That paradigm change supposes An added cost both for companies and For workers. The price of teleworking. A study The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) revealed that employees were willing to give up up to 25% of their salary in exchange for continuing to telework. Robert Walters’s study has completed the monthly average economic cost for workers associated with the return to the office. 47% of the interviewees ensure that the return to the office represents an additional economic disbursement of between 100 euros and more than 200 euros per month. On the other hand, 46% of employees who thought remote work negatively affected its internal visibility And the options to ascend to better positions will see how their opportunities are matched. Less remote, more hybrid. The study reveals that only 2 out of 10 workers who currently do so before 2020, showing the impact of pandemic on the extension of remote work. However, this modality has been contracting to leave space to hybrid models with every time More predominance of face -to -face work. The data collected by Robert Walters analysts suggest that 36% of the hybrid days only allow teleworking one day. 31% of companies allow two days to work in remote and 7% leave three days to work outside the office. The data of the companies that allow teleworking full -time is 13%, a figure close to the percentage of employees who telework in Spainaccording to INE data. Face -to -face or flexibility? The data collected by the study also reveal a change in employee preferences. 48% of respondents would prefer to have a more flexible schedule instead of another day of teleworking. In addition, 32%of the participants said that their company did not allow them to choose the teleworking days, being Monday (with 44%) and Friday (32%) the most common days to telework. “In recent months, we are attending the decline regarding flexibility in many companies that just a few years ago, they defended the conciliation and flexibility globally so that their workers could adopt and balance their personal and professional lives with the aim of turning companies into a pillar, support and support of the mental health of their employees,” said Jane Bamford, Managing Director for the southern Europe of Robert Walters. No teleworking, there is no job. 79% of respondents said they would change jobs if their company will eliminate teleworking options or time flexibility policies. 74% expect your company to maintain the same conditions at least this year, while 25% are convinced that Teleworking options will be reduced. Among the advantages that value teleworking most is the saving in the time of the displacements (78%), as well as their cost (44%). 74% points to Advantages for family reconciliation that allows them to work from home, although 16% say that at home they are much easier to concentrate. Manage from distance. Among the arguments that companies have given to reduce teleworking days, 26% of the companies participating in the study have felt the decline in work quality. At 32% it costs more loyalty to the employees in remote and that complicates them the Internal talent retention. On the other hand, 42% ensure that teleworking has complicated the assessment of workers’ performance and, therefore, cannot value your productivity as They did it from the offices. In general, 73% of those responsible for teams that worked at a distance indicated the communication problems between employees as one of the most frequent problems of teleworking.

Nvidia graphics cards have become the new iPhone. If you want a decent, prepare to pay 1,000 euros

by

Do you want to change graphics? No problem: Go preparing 1,000 euros. At least, if you want a modern and decent model, because that is the price at which we will have to get used to. The situation is demonstrating with the new Nvidia graphics. When launched its new RTX 5000 family cards range He did it with recommended PVPs that already taught the teeth: RTX 5090: 2,369 euros RTX 5080: 1,190 euros RTX 5070 TI: 899 euros RTX 5070: 659 euros Those prices are just a reference, because as soon as the availability is on sale, the availability is scarce and prices have shot. It is the same That has passed previously With Nvidia cards. Let’s put for example MSI models more affordable for each version: RTX 5090: From 2,549 euros RTX 5080: From 1,539 euros RTX 5070 TI: From 889.90 euros RTX 5070: Not available Except in the case of the RTX 5070 ti – that it is possible to find those recommended PVPs – we find that Prices already begin to be higher than those announced As soon as they go on sale. It is something totally legitimate – Nvidia speaks of recommended PVPs, not that manufacturers cannot modify them – but it again makes this market get more and more inaccessible to many users. There are several stores that especially sell these graphs as part of a new PC. Finding it otherwise is difficult, something that makes it clear that the availability is limited and that if you want to access one of these cards, you will have to think about totally renew your PC and not just that component. But something else is happening. In our ANALYSIS OF THE RTX 5090 AND RTX 5080 Our partner Juan Carlos López made his recommendation clear: The conclusion I have reached is that to users who have a GeForce RTX 20 either 30or an equity proposal of AMD, it may be interested RTX 40 I would recommend that you think about it well before buying an RTX 50. This jump I do not see anything clear unless the money is not a problem and you are willing to have the latest at almost any price. The performance improvement is there, but it is not so striking if we come from a relatively recent graph. In fact, the jump seems to modest except when we can Take advantage of DLSS 4. And the problem is that not all games can take advantage of This improvementalthough certainly the number of titles compatible with DLSS 4 goes up. But that also raises a danger. If you want to notice a performance improvement, the real person is no longer the hardware of these cards, but the AI ​​software that Nvidia has created. Until now, DLSS technology seemed to be a curious option, but now it has become the great sale argument for this manufacturer. But there is a problem with that. DLSS 4 It is a owner technology. That’s how it is. You will not be able to enjoy it unless you do not have one of the new Nvidia cards, and that is starting the creation of a dangerous vicious circle. One in which developers want to offer more fluid experiences to their users, but for that they have to modify their games to make them compatible with DLSS 4. That leaves out the competition (AMD), but also force users to bet on that new Nvidia walled garden. DLSS 4 is compatible with the old manufacturer’s old graphs – but Only RTX 50 offer multi frame generation-. This characteristic is what is possible to generate up to three frames for each rendering frame, and is therefore responsible for “multiplying” the performance and frame rate of the compatible games. That makes us facing a strategy similar to that of the iPhone: great in many things, exclusive and with a high price that usually surrounds the 900-1,000 euros, such as these Nvidia cards. That puts us all in a brete, especially since DLSS 4 could become another CUDA. Today that technology is the great responsible for the success of Nvidia in the world of AI. AMD also has chips for very competitive, but the problem of this manufacturer It is not hardware, but software (and specifically, CUDA). If Nvidia manages to convert DLSS 4 into another de facto standard, We will find a worrying situation in which a proprietary software standard ends up catching users and the industry. If a single manufacturer ends up dominating the market, you can do what you want with it. And that are potentially very bad news for users. In Xataka | Nvidia has beat its income record again. Paradoxically, Wall Street does not seem to import much

Multivize Computing is the Startup of San Sebastián that “compresses” the AI. The government has just invest 67 million euros in it

by

Óscar López, Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, announced within the framework of the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona something interesting: an investment of the government to support a promising Spanish startup of artificial intelligence. Multivize Computing. The Spanish company Multivize Computing It has venues in San Sebastián, Toronto, Munich, Paris and London and aims to “revolutionize artificial intelligence through the understanding of models.” Its products are able to compress large language models at 10% of its original size, with cost reduction and efficiency improvement that implies. Compressing the AI. Its main product is compactifai, a “compressor of AI models” that allows more fast, cheap and efficient ia systems. According to Your dataa model as it calls 3.1 405b has an operational cost of about $ 390,000 if we want to run it at home (13 GPUS H100, 9100 W of consumption), but thanks to Compactifai it is possible to reduce that cost to 60,000 dollars (2 GPUS H100, 1,400 W). 67 million for this European “unicorn”. López has announced that the Government will enter as a shareholder in Multivrse Computing through the Spanish Technological Transformation Society (SETT). In 2024 Digitaleurope, employer of industries in the process of transformation in Europe, recognized the company as the future European Uniccorn. It is one of the most promising emerging companies in Spain according to LinkedIn, and this investment is of course a commitment to that future. And aids for companies. The minister took the opportunity to announce a call for 130 million euros (up to 5 million euros per project) from FEDER funds for companies that incorporate AI “in their value chains.” There is also another additional call of 50 million euros for the integration of AI in companies in the health sector. There are already real cases of use. A previous call endowed with 50 million euros and launched by Sedia in 2021 concluded in December and there have been real cases. One of them is Tartaglia, focused on the health sector and endowed with seven million euros. This project has developed a system so that health institutions can safely share data. Another of these projects is agrarian, with an investment of nine million euros and that has taken advantage of AI to for example foresee the yield of the crops through satellite images, early pest detection or modeling of the energy expenditure of large fridge cameras.

Microsoft will invest another 2.9 billion euros in a new installation in Zaragoza

by

Microsoft sends more in Aragon. In October 2023 he announced that would build a megacampus with data centers In that region, and now this bet has been reaffirmed, because the Redmond company will increase the initial investment significantly. 2.9 billion more. As indicated In the worldthe president of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, advertisement Last Friday that Microsoft would expand its previous investment in 2.9 billion euros. The project consists in the creation of a new data center near Zaragoza. 59 hectares for the new campus.Este nuevo centro de datos ocupará 59 hectáreas en la zona de Puerto Venecia, en Zaragoza. It is expected to begin to develop in 2026 with an initial investment of 582 million euros for three years – the cost of building it, they point out In El Heraldo– And the rest of the phases for 2.3 billion more, to be executed in the next 10 years. 10,000 million in total. That makes the figure invested by Microsoft in Aragon already reach 10,000 million euros, a spectacular amount that yes, will benefit from a reduction in fiscal charges. The fourth data center in this region will be added to those already planned in the Recycling Technology Park (63 hectares), Industrial Polygon Centrovía de la Muela (147 hectares) or in Villamayor de Gállego (87.4 hectares). These three centers have a joint investment of 6,600 million euros in the next 10 years. More jobs. The construction phase will allow to create between 1,000 and 2,000 new jobs, and the project expects to be completed in ten years and creates 300 jobs. If the rest of the planned data centers are included for the region, there will be between 900 and 1,200 jobs in total. Economic impact. This last data center will make the impact for Aragon GDP estimated at 2,685 million euros between 2026 and 2030. Aragon is becoming a true nerve point for the technological industry, and in May 2024 already announced a technology park of 42 hectares next to the Ebro River Campus of the University of Zaragoza. Amazon is also installed in Aragon. Amazon was the first to want to create new data centers in Arat what. As indicated In the avant -gardelast year confirmed an investment of 15.7 billion for the construction of four centers (the Burgo de Ebro, Villanueva de Gállego, Huesca and Empresarium). Goal also seems have raised A data center in the region, although this project has not been confirmed at the moment. They will need a lot of energy. These great projects are also generating doubts about how the region will face the enormous energy consumption of these centers. Azcón indicated that the government should continue to invest in infrastructure and in the energy transport network to favor these Big Tech investments, but the truth is that these centers will consume more energy than the entire community. Aragon generates a lot of renewable energybut it is also that the demand imposed by these new centers probably put that supply in trouble: only AWS will duplicate The electrical consumption of Aragon, and Microsoft will further aggravate the problem. And a lot of water. Not only is the energy problem, but that of water. It is true that large technology companies are developing promising cooling systems For data centers, but the requirement is clear. Amazon already estimated that he would need 750,000 cubic meters of water a year, but most would return to the network after fulfilling his target as a refrigerant. We have no data on how Microsoft raises dealing with these needs in Aragon. The unique provision of Aragon to host these investments contrasts with that of Lleida, which vetoed these types of facilities in January 2025.

This optional package costs 230,000 euros

by

The Bugatti Tourbillon is not a car, it is a declaration of purchasing power in the form of Hybrid supercard with zero label. The basic model of this Bugatti filigree has a base price of 3.8 million euros (without taxes), but the extras They can inflate the invoice end. An example: the New package “Equipe Pur Sang” Cuesta The same as a new Porsche 911 GT3. Bugatti justifies this additional cost with a clear philosophy: its customers not only look for speed, They seek absolute exclusivity. Bugatti said that only 250 units of the Tourbillon will be manufactured, so it is not known how many of those will leave the concessionaire with this “vitamin” equipment. That will turn these jewels of mechanical engineering into museum pieces very coveted by collectors that can afford to pay an invoice of almost 4.5 million euros since the personalization “Equipe Pur Sang” would have a estimated price of 230,000 euros. Eight exhaust tubes and carbon fiber in sight The check @bugattitourbillon.registry He has leaked the images of the “Equipe Sang” package mounted. This personalization visually transforms the Tourbillon by adding some elements that enhance the sporting character (in case it did not have it sufficiently marked). Without a doubt, their most striking feature are the Eight exhaust pipes Chrome that looks like its rear, in front of the four rectangular tubes in double tube configuration of the original model. The four added escapes do not improve performance, but the visual effect, creating an aggressive silhouette that dominates the rear. This configuration of four tubes on each side marks a milestone itself since it is the largest number of escapes that have ever ridden in a bugatti. Thus, the Bugatti Tourbillon “Equipe Pur Sang” would be overcoming the six -escape configuration that the Bugatti La Vaiture Noire. The details of this customization are not limited to the rear, the front has been modified by redesigning air inlets, leaving a more aerodynamic divisor. The impressive aspect of this beast with zero DGT labelIt is completed with carbon fiber finish exposed in the body, painted in Matt Vermillion tones (orange red) and Matt Red. Details such as the “Equipe Pur Sang” logo on the bumper, spoiled and dashboard underline their exclusivity. The personalization of the “Equipe Pur Sang” reaches the interior with a new airline color for the upholstery, which is finished with the logos of the limited series embroidered in the heads of the seats in the same colors Matt Vermillion and Matt Red that looks in the body. V16 hybrid with electric soul Under its hood no modification is known, so it is expected to maintain its atmospheric V16 propeller of 8.3 liters combined with three electric motors, delivering 1,800 hp and 3,000 Nm. This brutal combination allows to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2 seconds and reach 445 km/h, stratospheric figures for a 1995 kg car. To counteract Its voracity of fuelincludes a 24.8 kWh battery that offers up to 60 km of electrical autonomy. A technical paradox: the same car that burns fuel with eight tubes can move silently through the city. Bugatti demonstrates that even in the electric era, the show of a combustion engine continues to sell.

Spain has a plan to become the European green hydrogen leader. And it will cost us 1,214 million euros

by

With the corridor of H2Med almost run by A recent conflicthe First Iberian Price Index From established renewable hydrogen and a recent millionaire injection of European funds, Spain has everything to emerge as a leader in this sector. The ambition has come to stay. Injection of funds. The Government of Spain has announced which will allocate 1,214 million euros of the Newgeneu funds to seven projects located in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia to develop hydrogen valleys. These European aid will be distributed among green hydrogen production and distribution projects to decarbonize several energy and industrial sectors, under the H2 Valles program. The companies that are behind the projects are Moeve, Enagás, Reolum, Repsol, Ric Energy, Capital Energy, Fertiberia or Ercros, among others. The goal. In a press release, the vice president and minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, He has highlighted that “it is a call for strategic relevance that advances on the decarbonization agenda.” Requirements such as the purchase commitment of at least 60% of production by industrial consumers have been established. The Institute for Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), attached to the miteco, manages this line of incentives to integrate hydrogen into the energy mix and reduce CO2 emissions. Spain is consuming 500,000 tons per year of Gray hydrogen (of fossil origin), so this new form of hydrogen will help change to be dynamic. Hydrogen valleys. The seven selected projects will add 2,278 MW of electrolysis power for the production of renewable hydrogen in 11 facilities, since the bases of the call allow more than one cluster site if the distance between them is less than 100 km. These plants will use renewable energy (solar and wind) to generate green hydrogen, and many will be integrated with ammonia or ammonia facilities fertilizers to reduce industrial emissions. In addition, 90% of electrolyzers will be manufactured in Europe and most promoters They have opted by alkaline electrolysis technology, considered efficient and scalable. Aid distribution. The distribution of European funds is carried out prioritizing projects with greater impact. Starting with the community with the largest renewable cluster: Aragon, which will receive 384 million euros for two hydrogen valleys, one of them shared with Catalonia. They are followed by Andalusia with 304 million, Castilla y León with 259 million, Galicia with 170 million and Catalonia with 98 million.

The new kitchen ally of Thermomix, The TM7 modelis now available for reservation in Spain. Is the successor of a Themomix TM6 that had been with us since 2019 and that I was already asking for renewal cycle. In addition to finding a home in the Spanish cuisine, the Thermomix has found another home: Wallapop. The sale platform is full of these devices and, although there is no unique reason, there are several suspects on the table of which we may not inform ourselves when buying a Thermomix. The Thermomix, Wallapop’s whim. 1259 euros. This is what it cost to buy a Thermomix TM6 in 2019. It is not an economic device, but it is a price that many are willing to pay to earn something that is even more than money: time. A look by Wallapop It lets us see many, many TM6. “It is sold due to lack of use” and “in perfect condition” is what is allowed to be seen. The average price is around 700 euros, just over half of what it cost in its day. Taking into account that the TM7 is priced at 1,549 euros, it is not a bad idea to get the previous model. As long as we know what we are buying, of course. The price does not end when you pay it. To the more than 1,000 euros that the device costs, we must add 60 euros of the payment subscription to Cookidoo. They are annual, but there are 60 euros. It is not mandatory and the Themomix works without it, but that easy access to recipes from the device’s own screen has this price can be an important deterrent. Its accessories are not forever. Like every kitchen apparatus, he suffers wear. Thermomix accessories They have to replace them with time, which adds new costs to the initial disbursement. Spatula, butterfly, glass base, blades, joints … The list of pieces that may need replacement Over time it is not small. Some of these pieces can be found on Amazon or Aliexpress for less than 10 euros, but prices on the official website are the following. Spatula: 16 euros Varoma tray: 15.90 euros Glass base: 16 euros Cestillo: 20 euros Knife game: 69 euros Together, between 3 and 9 euros It is a huge device. Practically we have ended a pot of excessive dimensions in the countertop. Thermomix, Airfryer, bread kneading … and the fate of many is oblivion in a drawer, or Wallapop. The Themomix has the peculiarity of being one of the kitchen devices that occupy the greatest volume. Specifically, 34.1 cm long, 32.6 cm wide and 36.6 deep. Vorwerk doesn’t care. Vorwerk’s numbers, a company after the Thermomix, They are quite healthy. The “culinary” division (Themomix/Bimby and Cookidoo) recorded record sales in 2023, entering 1.7 billion euros. While there is talk of a small fall in 2024, the group’s financial situation is solid and bullish.
