The other day, while I was brushing my teeth, my electric brush made a strange noise. I didn’t give it much importance, but a few days later it happened again and this time it was accompanied by a clear drop in power. Finally what was expected happened: it stopped working. I bought it in 2020 for 17.99 euros, so I am more than satisfied with the service provided. Plus, it caught me just the day Amazon’s spring sales ended, so I ran to look for a replacement. What I found left me quite surprised. A huge (and very expensive) offer It’s been six years since I bought my ill-fated Oral-B Vitality brush. Six years in which I have not found out what was going on in the electric toothbrush market, for whatever reason, it has not interested me either. First of all, I clarify that I went directly to see the Oral-B offer because I was happy with my previous brush, but above all because I still had several heads to use. In 2020 I was aware that there were models much more expensive than the one I chose and in fact this time I went to Amazon with the idea of ​​looking at a slightly more advanced model, what I did not expect was to find these prices. The Oral B spring sale cover The most notable offer on the Oral-B website is the Oral-B iO 10, which cost 299 euros (today it costs 309 euros), but those that followed were not short; 289, 199, some for 129 euros… truly crazy. At what point have electric toothbrushes become a luxury product, I thought. These ultra-expensive brushes have a color screen, magnetic base, travel case with charging function, seven cleaning modes and of course AI, Don’t miss out on AI. I understand that many of these functions will be very practical and have their audience, but personally I am not going to spend three figures on a toothbrush. In addition to prices, there are a lot of models and it is quite difficult to understand what their differences are. Suddenly I found myself looking for comparisons and reading spec sheets. For a toothbrush. The premiumization of the everyday Is a phenomenon that affects all types of products and services. We are seeing it with the gourmet bakeriesthe specialty coffee shops and even with the kebabs. Another establishment that we have seen premiumize recently are the stationery stores. They are traditionally cheap products that are given a patina of luxury and exclusivity to justify much higher prices. With electric toothbrushes, the point is also added techie. In mobile phones we have long since overcome the 1,000 euro barrier and have it normalized, but at the time we also it seemed crazy to us. They have achieved this based on exclusive functions, designs with premium materials and also the phenomenon of aspirational purchase. I didn’t expect that the same thing would have happened with toothbrushes; Providing them with countless functions, they justify paying 300 euros for something as basic as brushing our teeth. The chosen one Seeing the prices and knowing that I was not planning to pay more than 50 euros, my range was drastically reduced. The Oral-B iO 2 was one of the options I considered. Costs 50 euros and it is not the most basic model of all. Among its advantages is that it comes with a travel case and a stand to store two heads, as well as a pressure sensor and timer. I had it in my basket, but I finally ended up buying the Oral-B Vitality Pro, which is basically the same model that I already bought in 2020, but with a couple of new features and a black design. I paid 22 euros and I hope it lasts another six years. Images | Xataka, Amazon In Xataka | The price of housing in Spain is already higher than at the peak of the bubble. But the data has a little trick

The orchards allowed Galician households to save hundreds of euros on purchases. Now they are disappearing

by

The proverb says that ‘he who has a friend, has a treasure’. In the Spain of 2026, that of house price skyrocketedthe accumulated inflation two digits and loss of power purchasing power, the reality is much more mundane: those who really have a ‘treasure’ are families with access to a garden, a corral, fruit trees or a small stable with sheep and cows, self-consumption tools that help save and lighten spending in the shopping basket. Curiously, at least in Galicia, fewer and fewer people take care of their own vegetables or livestock. And that allows you to save more than 100 euros per month. What has happened? That the garden is losing weight in Galicia. And in an accelerated and indisputable way. So revealed it on Monday Vigo Lighthousethat after styling the published data by the Galician Institute of Statistics (IGE) has concluded that in the region fewer and fewer families resort to self-cultivation, fruit trees or small farms to alleviate their economy. It’s not just that their number has decreased in the last decade, it’s that it is already at historic lows. If in 2007 45.1% of the community’s households saved thanks to the potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots… harvested in their gardens, in 2024 that percentage was already a meager 25.1%, the lowest level in the historical series. What do the figures say? If you walk through Galicia it will be increasingly difficult for you to see people working in small gardens or taking care of animals. The IGE statistics They do not talk about large agricultural holdings or farms with a business focus, but rather about family savings, which is why they focus on a very specific part of the Galician agrarian map. All in all, its reading is resounding. If in 2007 there were 452,200 families that saw their economy lightened thanks to the cultivation of their own vegetables, at the end of 2024 there were already 278,500. In between, years of almost uninterrupted decline. There are small swings, but they are largely explained by the context. For example, between 2019 and 2020, coinciding with the pandemic, the number of households with gardens grew slightly. The IGE also reflects that the trend is not equally clear throughout the region. Although the garden is losing weight in the community, it is holding up better in the interior provinces. Its decline is much more pronounced in A Coruña and Pontevedra. Does it only happen with orchards? No. The IGE also investigated how savings have evolved thanks to other forms of self-consumption, such as the use of fruit trees, the production of homemade wine or cheese, the care of livestock to obtain meat, milk or eggs, fishing… And the ‘photo’ is practically the same always. For example, in 2007 there were 372,000 homes saving thanks to their own hens, chickens and eggs. In 2020 there were already 298,300 and at the beginning of 2025 they barely exceeded 202,600. The collapse is not only due to a loss of population. Its incidence rate also fell: from 37.1% in 2007 to only 18.3% in 2024. Exercise Households that save on food thanks to the garden (no.) Households that save on food thanks to the garden (%) 2007 452,188 45.09% 2011 444,843 42.00% 2016 406,384 38.34% 2021 384,283 35.81% 2024 278,519 25.12% And other forms of self-consumption? The same. The same thing happens with the food (and savings) obtained thanks to fruit tree cultivationhe cow milkingthe elaboration of wine or spirits homemade, the cattle breeding or the ‘pig slaughter’, which despite its roots in rural Galicia has also deflated. If in 2007 it was practiced in 20.7% of homes, in 2020 it was already reduced to 7.6% and in 2024 to less than 5%. In practice, this means that the slaughter has gone from being a saving for 207,300 homes to being a saving for 55,100. And why is it important? Beyond the greater or lesser interest that weight loss in gardens may have, the phenomenon is curious because it coincides with another, also noted by Lighthouse: Taking care of orchards or farms pays off. And a lot. After years of inflation and increases that have been fueled by products like eggsself-consumption has become a way to cut spending by more than 100 euros per month. In certain cases the savings can reach 120. On average, the garden allows you to reduce the shopping basket by 30 euros, chicken farms by another 22, beef (or rabbit) farms lighten the basket by almost 40 euros and domestic fruit trees by 18. The greatest source of savings continues to be the slaughter of pigs. Those who practice it save 51 euros every month, since they avoid buying pork. So why does it decline? The million dollar question. Having a garden, a corral or even a small farm with cows and sheep may save money on purchases, but it requires other precious resources: time and space. Added to this is the expense involved in caring for vegetables and livestock. In a Galicia that is no stranger to demographic crisis and she is getting older, that is a challenge. The region is not spared from the rural exoduswhich makes it difficult for families to have space for gardens.

The last thing was a Navy submarine for 130,000 euros

by

The Spanish Navy embarked on the path of renewal some time ago, one in which the old glories are left without a place and must make way for new generations. Within this strategy, Spain put up for sale last year one of the last submarines of the S-70 family, a Tramuntana which for almost 40 years was the backbone of the country’s submarine force. The price? Little more than what it costs Xiaomi SU7 Ultraand it is an important step in the cycle of weapons renewal in which Spain finds itself. What you pay. The S-74, baptized ‘Tramontana’, was the fourth of the Navy’s S-70 series submarines. Based on the French designs of the Augustaleft the shipyards of the old Navantia in 1984 and served the Navy since 1985. With about 68 meters in length, capacity for 60 crew members, four torpedo tubes and a propulsion system with a double diesel engine of 3,600 HP and an electric engine of about 3,500 kW, the submarine could last up to 45 days without surfacing. After participating in numerous exercises and the occasional international deployment, his moment came in February 2024. After 38 years of service, and after a stretch in his useful life while awaiting the ddeployment of the first S-80the Tramontana was decommissioned and immobilized at the docks of the Cartagena Military Arsenal, ready to await its fate. What you take. In May of last year, the BOE published a resolution detailing the sale of the Tramontana. As is usually the case with this type of sales, it is not about anyone arriving and being able to get hold of a military submarine: the operation aims to serve as scrap metal. The base price was set at 138,468.53 euros and whoever was interested had to leave a provisional deposit of the base price: 27,693.70 euros. The final deposit will also be 20% of the amount reached in the auction. Is it easy to sell one of these things? Not at all, and if not… Ask the Prince of Asturias. The legendary Spanish aircraft carrier that was once the spearhead of the Navy also went up for auction after completing service. After having to repeat them with succulent discounts because no one wanted it even for scrap, he undertook a last trip to the Aliaga ship cemetery in Türkiye, where it ended up scrapped. In fact, the BOE already contemplates in these operations that, if no one opts for it, three additional auctions will be held, one every seven days and with a 15% discount compared to the previous auction if the previous one is void. Emblematic. For some it will be sad, but when something so enormous reaches its life cycle, there are only two alternatives: keep it as an element of maneuvers for training or auction it to recover money and have it scrapped. Unlike the aircraft carrier, the S-73 Mistral submarine has already been acquired by a scrapping company in Cartagena. A third option is to display it, but it is something much easier to do with a plane than with a submarine (although there are some, of course, as a museum ship). Scrapping. Speaking of the Mistral, after decommissioning it in 2021 after 35 years of service, it sold for 150,000 euros to a scrapyard that dismantled the vehicle to recover the valuable metals inside. The starting price was slightly lower than that of the Tramontana: 136,078.53 euros. Inflation affects everything. If we get philosophical, it is a bitter end for a submarine that, for decades, acted as a protection element in the Mediterranean. He participated in several NATO missions, but perhaps the most remembered operation was when he patrolled the waters around the Perejil islet in the dispute with Morocco in 2011. The S-73 Mistral, to get an idea of ​​the size Renewal. In the most pragmatic sense, it is still a 40-year-old submarine, so it didn’t make much sense to sell it to other nations (especially when looking for clients for the S-80newer and whose sale would help defray the costs of development). Because Spain has been creating for years – not without a few problems – its new fleet, the aforementioned S-80. They represent a generational leap in absolutely all their capacities, and they held out for the S-74 as long as possible until the arrival of the S-81 Isaac Peral. Now, the only one of the veteran submarines operational is a S-71 Galerna which keeps alive that strategy of at least two ‘live’ submarines at a time in terms of defense. And when the next units of the S-80 begin to arrive, the easiest thing is for the S-71 to have the same fate as its brothers the Siroco, the Mistral and the Tramontana. It’s still the weapons cycle, which can be stretched to a certain point, but when the time comes… better to get some money than have a dead asset.

The Portuguese AVE has a much juicier promise than the connection with Madrid. One of 7,000 million euros

by

When talking about trains and infrastructure, there is a country that rubs its hands every time a new project is approved: Spain. Our country has a network of construction companies and rolling stock manufacturers that are among the most leading in the world. And they are already taking positions regarding a new project. One that has 7,000 million euros at stake. The Portuguese AVE. We said a few days ago that Portugal continues to move into an internal high-speed rail connection and that, in fact, its plans go directly through connect Lisbon with the south of Galicia before with Madrid. There are two reasons for this: the movement between Galicians and Portuguese has always been very high but, in addition, it means connecting the two largest Portuguese cities, finally, with a high-speed train. The objective is for the AVE between Lisbon and Porto to be ready in 2033, as well as its connection with Vigo. A year later the link with Madrid should arrive. If the deadlines are met, we will be talking about close a chapter that opened more than 20 years ago. 61 kilometers. It is the distance that runs in the Aveiro-Soure section, which the Portuguese Government has put out to tender. Although, really, we should say that “it’s back in the competition.” And from Portugal they have already tried to award this section without success through a public-private tender. To this tender only The Portuguese company Mota Engil was presented but his project has finally been rejected. This company had already gotten the go-ahead to build the first section between Porto and Aveiro but this time it was not so lucky. 7,000 million euros at stake. They explain in elEconomista.esthat the Portuguese Government has republished this contest with the aim of attracting more companies and projects. And the attraction is clear: now the contract has a potential of 7,000 million euros. The contract is launched to build the high-speed section and the required connections, which requires an adaptation of the Coimbra station, modifying the Northern Line between Taveiro and the southern entrance of said station and building an electric traction substation in the area. But, above all, it has something more juicy: the maintenance of all infrastructure except the section of the Northern Line and the Coimbra station. They explain in the middle that the maximum amount of the award is 1,603.36 million euros but that, in addition, payments are contemplated for a total of 30 years that can reach 4,765 million euros. Added to this is that the project will be partially financed during its construction with 600 million euros. The sum of the project, therefore, is more than 7,000 million euros. The Spanish options. In the middle they also point out that from Spain there will be competition on two fronts. One of them will be Acciona, FCC and Ferrovial, a “team” that has already attended together on other occasions and that, in fact, they dropped out of the tender for the first section of this new high-speed line. Sacyr will also present itself to the project but will do so accompanied by DST and ACA Engenharia & Construção, Portuguese partners with whom it is also presenting itself to the projects in the neighboring country. Again, Sacyr is also another company that already has experience obtaining contracts related to Portuguese railway lines. Pointers. Portugal is the last scenario that Spanish companies will attend, but it is by no means the only one. In recent years, Spanish construction companies have taken over the business of what is known as “AVE to Mecca” and They have found a gold mine in Saudi Arabia for your accounts. They have also found a vein in Vietnam. Although on other occasions this expansionism across half the world has cost some of them some displeasure. CAF, which had been acquired “the contract of the century in Belgium”decided accept the construction of a light rail in Jerusalem. One that passed through Israeli colonies on Palestinian land, which ended up leave the company out of the competition on the new Barcelona Metro trains.

Are the 200 euros difference worth it or has Apple been left behind?

by

Xiaomi has released not one, not two, but three tablets that once again embrace the quality-price ratio that we have seen so many other times within the brand. Therefore, we are going to stop a little to see if they really are as attractive as they seem at first glance, and what better way to do it than by comparing the Xiaomi Pad 8 with the iPad Air M4since Xiaomi usually uses Apple as a reference, mentioning the brand in its presentations. Can it compete head to head with the iPad? Let’s see it. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links iPad Air M4 (128GB, 11-inch) The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The differences between Xiaomi and Apple tablets Big differences in screens While it is true that in any case we are talking about tablets that offer good image quality, both Xiaomi and Apple have small peculiarities. All Xiaomi tablets come with an 11.2-inch screen that offers both a 3.2K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate, thus achieving greater fluidity when navigating the menus, when we want to play a video game or even if we read an article on a website. The Xiaomi Pad 8 Mate adds a very interesting feature, and that is that this model has anti-reflective treatmentwhich means that if you are going to use it outdoors, the sun will not reflect as much on the screen. Instead, the iPad Air M4 is available in two sizes of 11 and 13 inches respectively. While it is true that it also includes a good Liquid Retina screen, the refresh rate remains at 60 Hz, so it does not offer the same fluidity as the screens of Xiaomi tablets. In short, if you are going to use the tablet at home, you will have a good experience with any of them, even if the Xiaomi screens offer better fluidity. Things change if you are going to use it outdoors: the iPad Air offers a maximum brightness of 500 nits, which is a fairly fair figure. Xiaomi tablets raise that figure to 800 nits, so in these cases it is better to bet on Xiaomi tablets, especially the Pad 8 Pro Mate if we are going to use it a lot outside the home. Processors and operating systems What are you going to use the tablet for? If you want to buy one of these tablets to watch multimedia content, you will have a good experience with any of them. But If you want to play demanding titles, choose the iPad. Because? Basically because it comes with a more powerful processor than Qualcomm, even allowing you to move console games. Not all models of the current generation of Xiaomi come with the same chip: the Xiaomi Pad 8 incorporates the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, while the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro and 8 Pro Mate come with the Snapdragon 8 Eliteone of the most powerful processors in Android devices. Instead, the new iPad Air comes with the M4 chipa processor that is capable of moving many titles, as we have seen many other times in Apple computers. On the other hand, both brands have different operating systems. Xiaomi tablets come with Android under the customization layer HyperOS 3while the iPad Air M4 comes with iPadOS. The choice is very particular, but we can mention two things: HyperOS has better artificial intelligence functions, since Apple Intelligence It’s still a little green. iPadOS has some very interesting productivity apps, such as Final Cut Pro. Depending on the use we are going to give to the tablet, we may be interested in making the jump to one operating system or another. If we want artificial intelligence functions, right now Xiaomi tablets offer better options. On the other hand, if we want to play, study or work with the tablet, we may be more interested in opting for the iPad. All RAM and storage configurations Depending on the model we want to buy, we can find very different RAM configurations. The Xiaomi Pad 8 and Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro are available in two versions of 8 and 12 GB, and the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Mate and iPad Air M4 are only available in a 12 GB version. Take into account the RAM memory It is important in the era we are living in when it comes to artificial intelligence. The more a device has to process AI locally, the more RAM it will need to avoid being fried. Various storage configurations are also available, although here Apple offers a more interesting option: The Xiaomi Pad 8 is available in two versions of 128 GB and 256 GB. The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro adds a 512 GB version. The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Mate is only available in a 512 GB version. The iPad Air M4 can be purchased in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions. In this case, the interesting thing about Apple is that it offers a configuration with double the storage than the Xiaomi models. If you are going to save a lot of photos, videos or files, especially if you want to use the iPad as an alternative to a computeryou may be more interested in the 1 TB model. In the case of Xiaomi tablets, with the 512 GB configuration you can get by for a while, but you may fall short in the long term. What your batteries say Although at the moment we do not know too many details about the battery of the iPad Air M4, Apple has mentioned that its theoretical autonomy is up to 10 hours of browsing, which means that it does not vary too much compared to previous generations. The three Xiaomi tablets come with 9,200 mAh batteries, but with different fast charging: 45W for the Xiaomi Pad 8 and 67W for the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Mate.

Inditex has just presented the best results in its history. For the first time in its history, the company founded by Amancio Ortega has reached 6,220 million, with a turnover that was close to 40,000 million euros. In that context of historical numberswhat its top managers earn draws attention…and not precisely because they are modest figures. Marta Ortega, president of the company and youngest daughter of Amancio Ortega, has been in office for four years and her remuneration has not moved a single euro since it stabilized at one million a year. Meanwhile, the CEO, Óscar García Maceiras, has just raised his salary for the third consecutive year. The CEO who rises while the president remains still. As reflected in the Annual Corporate Governance Report 2025 of Inditex, García Maceiras closed 2025 with a total remuneration of 11.55 million euros, which represents an increase of 3% compared to the previous year and a cumulative increase of 38% since he assumed the position of CEO in November 2021 after the departure of Pablo Isla. Their remuneration is broken down into a block of 7.4 million euros in cash which includes a fixed salary, short-term variable percentage and long-term variable percentage. As and as usual In senior management positions, remuneration is completed with a package of shares or other financial instruments valued at 4.1 million euros. These new shares are added to the 118,329 titles which he already has. This salary growth for the CEO caused the total amount allocated to the board of directors to also increase, going from 14.28 million which they registered in 2024 to 14.5 million euros in the last financial year. One million euros a year: the price of presiding over Inditex. Martha Ortega became president non-executive of Inditex in 2022 and since then her salary has always followed the same line. In his first year he received a salary of 834,000 euros. However, in the following three years and unlike the rest of the directors of the Zara parent company, his salary has remained unchanged at one million euros. Neither the company’s record results nor the increase in dividends to shareholders have moved that figure. Now, that million is not the only income that Marta Ortega receives from her ties to the group. According to published Digital EconomyIn addition to her remuneration as president of Inditex, she receives remuneration for her participation in the boards of directors. of Pontegadea Investments, Partler 2006 and Pontegadea GB 2020, the companies with which the Ortega family controls the textile group and manages the rest of your investments. In addition, its shareholding percentage also brings some dividends, although without reaching the levels that this year Amancio Ortega will receive. A top management that also wins. García Maceiras is not the only one who has seen his income grow after the company’s good results. The joint remuneration of the 19 executives who form Inditex senior management It amounted to 139.5 million euros in the last financial year, compared to 132 million the previous year. That is, an increase of 7.5 million distributed among that select group of managers. In contrast, the average Inditex employee he earned around 40,000 euros in 2025, 5.26% more than the previous year. The difference between what the CEO earned and what a standard employee of the company receives exceeds 280 times. It is a gap that does not go unnoticedespecially in a year in which the company has broken all its historical profit records. ​Amancio Ortega does not care about his salary. There is a surprising fact when the remuneration of the Inditex leadership is broken down. Amancio Ortega, the man who founded the group and who remains its main shareholder with control of more than 59% of the capital through family officehe repeated in 2025 with an allocation of just 100,000 euros per year as a member of the council. Without a doubt, this is a figure that, compared to the 3,234 million euros that it will receive in the context of the dividends that correspond to its participation, has more symbolic than practical value.
