If you have 400,000 euros you can finally fulfill the dream of owning your own island. The problem is how to get to it.

by

If you like nature, spend hours listening to the birds singing and the rustling of the waves, in Welsh you have a unique opportunity. There, in the Dwyryd estuary, a private island with a charming Victorian mansion is for sale for about what it costs an apartment in the center of Madrid. For around £350,000 you can become the new owner of Ynys Gifftana seven-hectare tidal island with a history connecting it to the Stuart lineage. Of course, the offer has a trick. In a place in Wales… More specifically in the Dwyryd estuary, very close to Portmeirion (Gwynedd), hides a curious island that has just gone up for sale. What is ‘curious’ is not only because of its remote nature, its surroundings or the fact that on its entire surface, of 7.2 hectares, there is a single stone construction. What is really striking is its nature. Ynys Gifftan is a tidal islanda portion of land connected to the rest of North Wales by a spit of land that emerges at low tide and disappears at high tide. Hence, access is not easy and, depending on the time, it must be reached by boat or on foot. Landowner for €400,000. For a few weeks now, the island has added one more peculiarity. The real estate firm Carter Jonas inform that it is for sale for a “guide price” of 350,000 pounds, equivalent to 400,500 euros. The price attracts attention in Spain and even more so in the United Kingdom, where it is not far from what an average home costs. In fact, it is much less than what someone who wants to buy a house in the capital must spend. A few days ago the BBC I remembered that those 350,000 pounds exceed the average house price in the country by just 50,000. If we focus on London, the average price for the last year marks just over 600,000 pounds (£656,694), making getting the Welsh island considerably cheaper. A golden opportunity? More or less. Owning a quiet Welsh island for almost half the price of a house in London sounds good, but Ynys Gifftan has several handicaps that recognize the agency itself. To begin its construction, a country house built with stone is not going through its best moment. “It needs a comprehensive reform,” notes Carter Jonaswhich remembers that the house is divided into two floors and has several living rooms, bedrooms and pantry. Annex has a tool shed. Good landscape, bad services. The truth is that the island takes decades empty and those who embark on the adventure of repopulating it will have to face a series of challenges, beyond renovating the house: there is no electrical connection, the water network channeling dates back to the 80s and the current owners of the land do not guarantee that it is still active. In addition, the drainage system is private. As for the rest of the 17.7-acre (approximately 7.2 hectares) island, it is now partially covered by weeds, almost reaching the house itself. From Jonas they slip that part of the island could be dedicated to grazing. The great challenge. Ynys Gifftan has, however, another more important handicap that any buyer should be aware of. Its inhabitants cannot happily leave and enter the island. Not at least how they want and when they want. During high tide a boat is needed to access the island. When the tide goes out, the way in and out is different: with a short walk along the stretch of land that is exposed. With a walk you reach the continent and from there you can travel to Harlecha town of around 1,600 inhabitants where you will find basic services, such as shops, restaurants or pharmacies. Nature… and history. The future owner of Ynys Gifftan will be able to boast of having an unusual property. To start with its location, in the heart of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Second, for his story. Its name, “gift island” in Welsh, is said to be a nod to the island’s past, which was a gift from Queen Anne to Lord Harlech’s ancestors in the 19th century. XVIII.

In Madrid they sell an apartment for 20.9 million euros. The question is not whether it is the most expensive in history, but what that means

by

He has earned the unofficial title “most expensive apartment in Madrid” and, although it is difficult to confirm it because in the luxury sector there are operations that never reach transcendence, it certainly has the potential to be so. To start with its price. The apartment that Property Partners announces in Jerónimos, in the heart of the capital, it costs a whopping 20.9 million euros. Beyond that figure, the home’s size (1,008 m2), display of luxuries and extras is striking. For example, it has no decoration. It has “works of art.” Not a typical main room, but a “social area” that covers about 200 m2. In any other advertisement that vocabulary might sound like an exaggeration. Not here. The most expensive apartment in all of Madrid? So suggests it Property Partners, which claims to have in its portfolio what is “considered” the “most expensive property in Madrid.” The same unofficial title has been recognized in recent days several economic means, premises and generalistsincluding Tele Madrid that refers to the luxurious apartment as “the most expensive in the history” of the city. In reality, it is very difficult to confirm whether this is the case or not because discretion prevails in the luxury market. Many operations are closed with hardly any publicity, almost with their backs to the market. Others don’t. Last year, without going any further, John Taylor, a French real estate company specializing in luxury, brokered the sale of a home that was valued at 20 million. The property in question was located near Retiro Park and measured about 1,100 m2. The 20.9 million flat announced by Property has been announced for several months, although the agency assures that “there are offer processes” underway and interested people who have already made several visits. Click on the image to go to the tweet. What is the housing like? Enormous. And that’s an understatement. According to the token Published by the real estate agency itself, the apartment has a constructed area of ​​1,008 m2, although it identifies 812 m2 as “housing area”. Seven bedrooms (five en suite), six bathrooms and three toilets are distributed throughout this vast space, as well as amenities such as a gym, wine cellar and large living rooms. A reporter from EPE was able to visit the apartment and says that one of the first things that catches your attention is a 200 m2 room named “social area”. Do we know more? Yes. And it points in the same direction: that of exclusive luxury. The house, located in Los Jerónimos, has five parking spaces and two storage rooms, terraces with views of the Botanical Garden and furniture in line with the profile of its market. Tele Madrid assures Its renovation alone cost two million, to which is added another for the furniture. As a finishing touch, it incorporates works of art. That the apartment (the agency dates it back to the 70s) is so spacious in the heart of the center is explained by its past: in reality it is made up of three independent homes that a former owner bought and mergedoccupying an entire floor. Why is it interesting? Because beyond how striking the price or the characteristics of the apartment are, the advertisement connects with a larger trend: the increase in price of the home. That the price per square meter has been rising for years (in Madrid and the rest of Spain) is nothing new. Idealistic sample that in the last year the m2 has skyrocketed by 14.8% in the capital, reaching a maximum of almost €5,900/m2, although there are certain areas where this value is much higher. In Retiro there are more than 7,800 and in Salamanca they are close to 10,000. The announcement of the Los Jerónimos apartment reminds us, however, that the price increase is not exclusive to the conventional residential market. It also affects luxury. At the end of 2025 Diza Market published a report which shows that the cost of prime housing in the region rose by 95% in a matter of a decade, between 2014 and 2025. The analysis focused, however, on the luxury sector in which houses worth several million are moved, without reaching stratospheric figures. Are there more indicators? Yes. Savills has published another report in which it points out that the price of prime housing in the capital “triples the rate of global growth expected for 2026.” “If we focus the analysis on the first consolidated, the average prices in Madrid are around €16,000-17,000/m2, reaching peaks of between €25,000 and €30,000/m2”, details Santiago de Miguel, director. “The forecast is that the market will continue slightly bullish, but with sustained demand. The international buyer continues to have his sights set on Madrid.” “The Madrid market super luxury has reached a degree of maturity that allows operations of this caliber,” agrees an interview with Five Days Felipe Reuse, from Property Partner. Data from the Notarial Statistical Portal show In fact, the dynamism of the market in the heart of Madrid, with the m2 above 11,000 m2, and where foreign buyers have a relevant weight, representing a third of the total. There are those who already points out that the demand is going outside the city, towards La Moraleja or La Finca.

Mercadona suppliers have invested 1.7 billion euros. That gives you an idea of ​​what a huge business it has become.

by

when you want present your model Mercadona’s business strategy usually cites five pillars: “the boss” (the word used to refer to customers), its staff, society and capital. The fifth is his wide network of suppliers. That the Valencian chain includes them on that list is no coincidence. If it has managed to lead the sector until it has gained a business share that is already close to 30%, it is thanks largely to its bet on white labela wide catalog of articles impossible to articulate without a “industrial cluster” with 2,100 suppliers. As Mercadona grows they do it too, but that link is not free. In order not to lose step, they are forced to invest millions. One figure: 1.7 billion. The data has revealed it Expansion. Last year, Mercadona suppliers made investments in Spain and Portugal worth 1.7 billion euros. The figure is not only interesting for its volume, it is also interesting when put into perspective: it represents 31% more than the previous year, when the sum of investments amounted to 1,300 million. If compared to 2023, when ‘only’ 500 million euros were mobilized, the increase in investment is much greater, close to 240%. Of course, not all suppliers have spent the same nor do all the projects in which they have invested have to be 100% focused on Mercadona, although it is true that the chain is the main client of some of its suppliers. Who has invested the most? Mercadona has not yet presented its 2025 report, but we do have that of the previous yearwhich details the suppliers that mobilized the most investment and generated the most employment. At the head was Casa Tarradellas, which supplies Mercadona with ready-made pizzas and fuets for the Hacendado brand. In 2024 the Catalan company invested 104 million to build two new factories, dryers and production lines. The published data by Expansion show that in 2025 it once again led investment in the Mercadona supplier ecosystem, with the mobilization of 117.6 million. At the beginning of last year the firm presented a new mill for wheat flour in Gurb (Barcelona) that required 25 million of euros and throughout the year it also promoted a storage center of species. In 2024 Casa Tarradellas achieved increase 12% its profits to reach 38.4 million euros, consolidating the positive trend already registered in 2023. The result was largely possible due to the increase in income. An investment cluster. The list The greatest investment effort is completed by companies such as Vall Companys (70 million euros), Incarlopsa, Avinatur, Essity and Cañigueral, all four with investments close to 60 million, Covap (42.5 million) and Entrepinares (27 million). Names such as Familia Martínez, Huevos Guillén (50) and Elaborados Naturales (40) also stand out. Not all of that money has had to be allocated to projects focused on supplying Mercadona, but a review of the reports deposited in the Commercial Registry reveals that the supermarket chain has become the main client of its suppliers. In some cases the company founded by Roig actually represents more than 50% of all his income. “Joint planning”. The data is interesting because it does not only tell us about the resources that Mercadona suppliers have dedicated to strengthening their infrastructure and productivity. It also suggests that these companies are forced to make this effort to keep up with the Valencian chain, which in 2024 increased its turnover by 9%, to exceed the 38.8 billion euros. Looking ahead to 2025, it expected to continue growing and reach 40.1 billion. Although Mercadona has not yet presented its report for the past year, we do have studies that show that it has achieved increase your quota of business, moving away from rivals such as Carrefour or Lidl. As its sales grow and its catalog of private labels and ready-to-eat foods triumphs, the Valencian firm needs to rely on its “industrial cluster” of suppliers. Hence the urgency for them to strengthen their production capacity. “These investments are possible thanks to trust and joint planning,” they explain from Mercadona when remembering the 1.7 billion mobilized. Investment… and something more. That these companies are willing to dedicate millions and millions of euros to modernize their facilities, gain production capacity or expand is explained by a very simple reason: keeping up with the Valencian chain has become quite a lucrative business. Recently Five Days he wondered how the companies that supply it with products are doing and, after investigating the Commercial Registry, it found out that in 2024 the 20 main suppliers of the chain increased their sales figures by 18% to exceed 12,000 million euros. In total, aggregate profits grew by 5%, exceeding 360 million. Curiously (or not) at the top in billing volume were Casa Tarradellas, Incarlopsa, J García Carrión and Covap, with sales increases ranging from 12 to 29% between 2022 and 2024.
