Spain has made weddings a huge millionaire business that does not touch a roof

by

In Spain Give the “yes I want” It is more than a demonstration of love and commitment. Weddings are also a great huge business that moves every year thousands of millions of euros, he uses thousands of professionals and a considerable part of the savings of couples is carried. And to show a button: according to The last report of weddings.net, the average cost of the links held last year in Spain amounted to 24,618 euros, 17% more That only two years ago. And so Not counting with the 5,200 of the honeymoon. Question of love (and euros). Weddings in Spain are tradition. And business. One that moves thousands of millions of euros. That is no novelty. What is curious is that its cost has grown in recent years to Recover the land lost in the worst of the financial crisis. Let’s see. If we take a look at the historical series, we verify that in 2005 the “invoice” of the links stood in Spain above the 25,000 eurosfigure that was reduced during the worst years of the recession until it was below 13,000 in 2013. The trend in recent times has been different. According to statista, in 2019 organize a wedding in Spain cost on average $ 23,400about 20,800 euros to change. The data coincides with the one that managed by the same dates the wedes.net portal, which placed the total invoice in 20,808 euros. According to the same platform, in 2022 that invoice had already grown until lightly exceeding the 21,000 euros And now its most recent report estimates it in 24,618. An ascending curve. Although it may be shocking, weddings are not exactly the same in all of Spain. Weddings.net He manages studies that show for example that on average the number of guests to a link in Murcia or Castilla-La Mancha far exceeds that of the weddings of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia or the Canary Islands. If we take into account that, the different price between regions and the varieties of criteria when preparing the studies (what is taken into account when estimating the total cost of a ceremony) is understood that The calculation It is not simple. His latest report leaves a clear idea: marrying comes out more and more expensive. Of 21,056 euros on average per link three years ago 23,750 in 2023 and 24,618 in 2024. The figure that has been calculated thanks to interviews with 6,700 couples They gave themselves the “yes I want” last year. The authors of the study also ensure that they have taken into account people from all over the country and covered a diverse sample in terms of ages, ethnic groups, rent, age and sexual orientation. Is it a lot of money? There is an interesting way to answer that question: compare the average cost of weddings held in the country with what (at least) a Spanish worker enters on average for a year. Exercise shows revealing conclusions, such as if we add the average bill of a link (24,618 euros) and the honeymoon (5,178) The total invoice (29,800) is equivalent to a good part of what the Spaniards perceive over a year, at least via salarieswithout counting extra sources such as income. According to the INE, in 2022 the “average annual gain per worker” was in Spain in 26,948 euros while the medium salary marked 22,383 and the modal (the most frequent) was around 14,586. The most recent data show that in 2024 the Middle salary (before taxes) It was from 1,987 euros a month. One year of work. During 2022 the average wedding price was 21,056 euros, amount to which the honeymoon’s invoice was added: 3,000 on average For those who traveled through Spain and 6,000 for those who decided to leave the country. If we take into account that data, the result is that a wedding with a standard trip abroad added practically the same than an average annual salary. Reviewing the invoices. That weddings reach these high figures is greatly explained by the cost of banquets, which take a considerable pinched pinched. If in 2022 a link It cost average 21,056 eurosabout 10,600 corresponded to that chapter. The second expense, quite a distance, was the wedding dress and the accessories, which were around 2,150. To that amount It is added The price of the pedida ring and the honeymoon. Last year the average budget for the newly married trip was 5,178. Maybe it seems a lot, but According to Bodas.net 89% of couples ended up making their bags stop vacation or at least one getaway (NINIMOON). But … how do you pay? The report is interesting because it also answers that question. And the conclusion is that a good part of the invoices are financed with what the guests contribute. “48% of couples pay the wedding obtaining money as a wedding gift, while 39% use their savings account,” Precise. This distribution of expenses makes Spain a large extent one of the nations that most invest in links. In 2019 statista elaborated A ranking With a dozen countries and Spain occupied second place, ahead of France or Portugal. It only exceeded it, where couples were spent on average $ 29,200.

The Steel Tank of the huge Cz-9 rocket has just manufactured

by

Spacex continues years away from any competitor, including the Chinese government. Like the rest of the world, China has been late for reusable rockets and the Starlink satellite constellation, which has an undeniable strategic value. But with Starship, the giant rocket that Spacex is developing in Texas, China is determined to cut distances. The Chinese starship. While Spacex continues to put the highest and most powerful pitcher in the world (not without some difficulty), China has stepped on the accelerator in the development of its own reusable superpesado rocket: the long march 9 (CZ-9) of 114 meters high. The renders are over. This time, the Chinese Academy of Release Vehicle Technology (CALT) has presented two real -scale prototypes of stainless steel tanks of the CZ-9. Its dimensions are not trivial: they measure 5 and 10.6 meters in diameter (Starship has a width of 9 meters). While the 10.6 meter tank fits perfectly with the CZ-9, the purpose of the 5-meter prototype is … less evident. Perhaps CALT is exploring a stainless steel version of the CZ-10, the rocket with which China wants to send astronauts to the moon, or simply using this diameter as a test bench to validate rapid manufacturing technologies (it took only 60 days to design and manufacture the tanks). The SpaceX recipe. While Spacex has the manufacture of stainless steel dominated, for China the production of tanks of this size steel is an advance, since the rockets usually be made of aluminum and carbon fiber. Calt has encountered the challenges of the material: it is more difficult to mechanize than aluminum, and more prone to buckling and deformation in the welds. Overcoming these obstacles has required, according to the state company, “several key technical advances” in assembly, welding and forming. But there are two good reasons why Spacex chose steel: its price (it is cheap and can be manufactured on a large scale) and its resistance (Starship has demonstrated a great capacity to resist the atmospheric braking), a crucial feature for a rocket that aspires to be total and quickly reusable. From partial to totally reusable. China’s plan is first develop a partially reusable version of the CZ-9, scheduled for 2030, and then evolve towards total reuse with version CZ-9BR at some point between 2033 and 2035. Another similarity with Spacex is the number of engines and the chosen fuel: 30 YF-215 methane with 200 tons of thrust each in its first stage, for a total load capacity of 150 tons to the low orbit. So that. The potential uses of CZ-9 They are so varied As in the case of Starship: establish a manned lunar base, display central gigantic solar energy in spaceto launch space telescopes and, yes, manned missions to Mars.

Its formula goes beyond a huge power

by

Irobot returns to the load with a new incorporation to its most advanced range. THE MAX 705 VAC ROOM arrives by muscle: nothing less than 13,000 suction pathe highest figure ever reached by a brand model. To get an idea, it is 180 times more powerful than the models of the 600 seriesa line that has been in the market for years and has been one of the most popular of the Irobot catalog. The American manufacturer, that was in conversations with Amazon for a possible purchase that finally did not come to fruitionHe wants to highlight this power as his great asset, although in the market there are equally ambitious rivals. He Roborock Qrevo Curv reaches 18,500 pa, and the DREame X50 Ultra Complete Raise the rod to some imposing 20,000 pa. More power implies better cleaning? If we talk about carpets or deal with the hairs of our pets, more power should guarantee greater cleaning. According to Irobotthis model is thought precisely for this type of households: it combines powerful suction with Two anti -re -gum brushesthat adapt to the type of soil and are designed to maintain constant contact with the surface. To this is added a corner and edges brush, and Carpet Boost technology, which automatically detects carpets to intensify the power. The Max 705 empty Roomba has also evolved in navigation and detection. It incorporates an artificial intelligence camera that allows to avoid common obstacles such as cables or socks, and has the Clearview Pro lidar technology, which maps the home with precision even at night. Thanks to the Dirt Detet system, it is also able to identify the areas with greater accumulation of dirt and repeat passes in those areas automatically. Of course, who looks for a scrubbing model must look at other catalog options. This model does not include a mop or system for cleaning wet spots. Where it does stand out is in connectivity. It can be controlled from the new Home Romba application, which allows you to schedule cleaning By room or specific areasadjust between four power levels and activate additional passs. It can also start from the robot itself or through voice commands. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home and, at the end of the year, also with Apple Home through the Matter standard. As a good high -end model, the Max 705 vacu Roomba arrives based on AutoMpty highway. This system collects and stores dirt automatically up to 75 days in a closed bag that prevents the dust from returning to the air. As for the design, Irobot has opted for its well -known elegant lines and modern finishes. Price and availability of the new Max 705 empty The new Max 705 empty 699 euroswith shipments planned for “within a week.” In the United States, curiously, the price rises to $ 899.99. As of May 11, 2025, it will also be available in selected online stores. Images | Irobot In Xataka | The 2025 vacuum robots arrive with something we never saw: arms and legs have come out

A huge two -kilometer ring and 20 meters high

by

Osaka It is known by its port, Your gastronomic offerthe district Shinsekaihis emblematic castle and sanctuaries, among other claims. Now (and at least during the coming months) to all of them A new Guinness record Fascinating: the world’s largest wooden architectural structure, a gigantic ring of 61,000 m2 raising following an old Japanese construction technique and has become one of the icons (and the most recognizable) of Expo 2025which has just opened in Osaka and will have its doors open until October. The name of the gigantic structure, which It has already sneaked into In the Guinness book, leave little room for interpretation: they have baptized it Grand Ring. A ring to govern them all. Although the Osaka-Kansai Expo2025 has the participation of more than 160 countries and regions, Its inauguration In Yumeshima it was headed by the highest Japanese authorities and its goal is Grand Ringa ring -shaped construction that will serve as a catwalk so that the visitor move to the shelter of the rain, the sun and the wind. And it is normal that it has generated so much interest. After all, Grand Ring is not just any ring. There is no other Like him in the world. Why’s that? How much it measures. And especially for how it has been done. The structure is basically built with Japanese cedar and cypress wood and wild pine. Moreover, its creators claim the symbolic value of that mixture of native and foreign materials, although the former represent about 70% of the construction. Worldwide there is no larger wood architectural structure. And so the Guinness World Records judges, which already They have granted him The official plusmarca. Question of measures. Grand Ring figures impress. The outer diameter of the ring reaches 675 meters (615 m in the inner face) and covers a construction area of Something more than 61,000 m2. As for the huge circular structure, it has a width of about 30 m with a height that at the lower end reaches 20 m. On the internal side it is somewhat lower and is around 12 m. The jobs to shape them started in June 2023 and did not end until August last year. In total the operators used around 27,000 m3 of wood. Something more than great figures. The ring is interesting for more than its enormous size or its record size. The organizers of the 2025 Expo insist in which the structure was lifted by combining modern construction methods and the Tradition “Nuki” used in the building of Japanese sanctuaries and temples. In fact the ring is inspired by the millenary temple Kiyomizudera of Kyoto. In practice, Swissinfo needsthat means that Grand Ring was manufactured with a technique that does not dispense with screws or nails to hold the wooden beams. To assemble the structure, the vertical and horizontal pieces are intended, forming a scaffolding composed mainly of cedar sugi local and Hinoki Ciprés. While the environment specialized in architecture and design Designboom precise that in the case of Grand Ring its creators resorted to metal elements to reinforce the resistance of the structure to the earthquakes. The Japanese manufacturing system has allowed for example that the kiyomizudera temple has remained standing For centuriesalthough over time it has been restored and rebuilt. And what will your future be? Expo 2025 It was inaugurated Sunday 13 and will remain until mid -Octobera period of time during which the organizers hope to receive some 28 million visitorsincluding 3.5 million foreigners, with an economic impact that according to some estimates will move between 12,270 and 17.6 billion euros. What will happen to Grand Ring once the exhibition ends is something that is not yet at all clear. His architect, the architect Sou Fujimoto He has recognized since he would like to be preserved at least part of the structure in his current location. The key It is that its land belongs to the city of Osaka and the construction to the Japanese association for the Expo. The international appointment has also been launched between news about the high cost of the installation (enough greater than initially expected) and a warm moment interest by the public. Claiming the wood. “I would like to keep it, preserve it … because it is really wonderful and a symbol of how our society can live together with nature,” says Fujimoto in An interview With CNN. In case it should be dismantled, ask the wood to be used in other projects. “Although the building disappears, the spirit of the materials will remain alive.” For now, Grand Ring has served something more than conquering Guinness records: it is a sample of the possibilities of wood architecture (An upward bet and that is already being used in The construction of skyscrapers), especially in Japan, where According to the US chaintoday about 90% of single -family homes rise with wooden structures.

Spain has a huge problem with contaminated waters. These researchers believe that the solution is the poplars

by

We say little, but Spain is an aquifer country. According to data from the Ministry of Ecological Transitionthese cover more than 90% of the national territory. To the point that the supply of two out of ten Spaniards depends on them. In this context, it is still worrying that the country has been overexploiting them, contaminating them And even making them disappear. And, eye, between 20,000 and 30,000 cubic hectometers of water come from there. Is there any way to save them? There are many. Many. But historical experience tells us that everything that entails rationalizing consumption is not simple in the medium term. Is the “Say law“In full performance: each resource is free for the efficiency improvements that the water system has achieved thanks to the new restrictions, investments and management improvements, they are dedicated to other economic sectors. They take it pointing at the Datadista For years: decades of “emergency measures” in front of drought has only ended up serving to “expand irrigation, increasing the problem of overexploitation and contamination of aquifers and wetlands.” The point is that the problem continues to grow, we continue to take water from the subsoil and the consequences begin to be very serious. The management that never comes. Wwf Spain revealed in 2019 that The four most important aquifers in the country have been sheared for years.Beyond: According to the reports of the Geological and Mining Institute“For decades, salinization of Mediterranean and insular Spanish coastal coastal aquifers have been known.” Despite this, “only in a few cases this situation is well managed.” What if we look for another way to ‘save’ the aquifers? That has been asked at the University of Granada and Institute for Agricultural and Fishing Research and Training of the Junta de Andalucía. And thanks to the European project Life Wood for Future, they have analyzed the impact of the chopperras on aquifers. Your findings They are very interesting because “It has shown that the chopperras purify the waters contaminated by agricultural fertilizers and that this crop has the capacity to take advantage of nitrates in their growth and prevent contaminating groundwater.” And no, it is not a theoretical issue. The researchers They are convinced That “the chopperras prevent the most important groundwater from the province, which covers 39 municipalities and widely exceeds the maximum concentration limits of legally established nitrates, 37.5 mg/l in groundwater, be contaminated.” An incredibly powerful approach. Because “due to their rapid growth, since they can reach about 20 meters high in ten years”, the poplars not only purify nitrate water naturally, but “They have a great ability to kidnap CO2 of the atmosphere, up to 20 tons per year. “ It is funny (so to speak) because suddenly two of the country’s large pending subjects, the management of aquifers and The health of treesare so intimately connected.

Green hydrogen consumes huge amounts of water. A new incredibly simple invention allows you to use seawater

by

Green hydrogen is the missing piece in the puzzle of decarbonization. In a day like today, in which Spain It has produced 107.3% of the country’s energy demand From renewable sources, a greater storage capacity (batteries or pumping centrals and a more flexible demand is needed. Produce green hydrogen When electricity is very cheap It is the country’s commitment to take advantage of that surplus. There is a problem. While green hydrogen It occurs with solar or wind energy (That is why it is said that it is an energy vector that stores clean energy), the process to produce itwater electrolysis consumes huge amounts of fresh water, an increasingly scarce resource for billions of people in threatened regions For chronic drought. The obvious solution is to use seawaterthe most abundant resource on the planet. But of course, salt and impurities run the equipment and reduce the efficiency of the process. External desalination makers are needed, adding costs and energy consumption; or super -resistant electrolyzers, which are still under development. There is a third way. MIT researchers, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University and Michigan State University joined forces to find an alternative that nicknamed the “triumph of sustainability.” The system, detailed in Energy & Environmental Scienceproduces green hydrogen directly from sea water. It does so using solar energy with impressive efficiency, and generating drinking water as a byproduct. How they have done it. Taking advantage of the entire solar spectrum. The central idea of ​​this new approach, officially called HSD-We (Hybrid Solar Distillion-Water Electrolysis), is to squeeze the maximum solar energy. We know that photovoltaic panels convert only part of sunlight into electricity (The most efficient are around 25% efficiency). The rest of the energy dissipates as a residual heat. What if that heat, instead of wasted, will be used for something useful? Eureka! Simpler than it seems. Like many other systems for the production of green hydrogen, the HSD-We integrates solar panels that turn light into electricity and an electroly of protons exchange membrane (PEM) that breaks down the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The secret is at the rear of the solar panels, they are where the HSD-We has an interfacial thermal distiller coupled that uses the residual heat of photovoltaic cells to evaporate seawater. A simple membrane that absorbs salt water. It is a genius. The best thing is that it works. The electricity of the solar panels directly feeds the electrolyz. At the same time, the residual heat of the panel heats sea water in the interfacial distiller, evaporating it. This pure water vapor (already without salt) is transported by a small air space to the electrolyz, where it is directly condensed in the anode, adding ultra -patrol water for electrolysis. The prototype, tested by the MIT both in laboratory conditions, under simulated sunlight, and outdoors, on a partially sunny day, threw impressive figures. They achieved 35.9 liters of dry hydrogen per square meter of solar panel per hour, using real sea water. In terms of efficiency, The system turned 12.6%a comparable rate or even above current green hydrogen production technologies with drinking water. Cheap hydrogen finally? Beyond technical feat, preliminary economic analysis is also promising. Not depending on external supplies of electricity or purified water, the operating cost is minimal, so the price of hydrogen produced with this system could drastically fall with the scale. While conventional electrolysis fueled by the electricity grid and using drinking water It costs about 10 per kilothis HSD-We system, in exchange for a slightly larger initial investment, could reach 5 dollars per kilo after 3 years of operation and lower the kilo at 1 dollar in 15 years. A price that would undoubtedly change the rules of the game. Image | Nickelgreen In Xataka | Europe waste so much renewable energy that needs green hydrogen. And the country that leads it is Spain

Holy Week has become a huge marketing campaign. Now you have even board games

by

The Easter week It is not only a meeting point for Catholics throughout Spain, which They share a faith and customs indicated in cities such as Seville, Malaga or Zamora. It is also a key moment for the country’s economy: promoted by institutions, backed by tourism and in constant evolution in search of new commercial forms, Holy Week also moves millions. And commerce, services and, now, internet, know it well. Economic engine It is absolutely indisputable that Holy Week is an economic engine for different cities in Spain, which receive income in sectors as diverse as tourism and hospitality (with Figures in Seville that are around 95% occupation and influx of two million people), trade, crafts and, of course, the expenses derived from processions, such as rental rents. In Seville there is talk of 415 million euros In income these dates, in Malaga 393 million And in León, 5 million. Complex relationship. There are, of course, tensions between those who defend recollection and religious feelings as keys to living Holy Week and those who see it as a unique possibility of economic impulse. But this conflict is not new: Already in 1972 A critic to the situation denounced that “there is a tourist map, a commercial gear that lacks any point of contact with faith”, so it can be said that we are facing a clash that comes from afar. But now it is taking new forms. New ways to explain Holy Week. The arrival of new forms, beyond the traditional ones, to commercially exploit the holidays is also the result of a change in the perception of Holy Week. Few have known how to read that change in tradition as the Channel 101TV from Seville, which of course is broadcasting live multiple processions, but that has found a particular dialectic with The ‘A Cielo’ program. It is a kind of chiringuito of jugones in the brotherhood where a group of experts in images, brotherhoods and traditions analyze with a light tone but very felt the Holy Week … throughout the year and with the viral apollo of the social networks. Boarding Board Games. Among these new ways of getting commercial performance of Holy Week highlights the new industry of board games. They are very simple games, often with an innocent point, but in other aspects they have some complexity and even adapt mechanics of non -religious games. Artes Cañete is the brand that is responsible for the simplest and most handmade, such as the Oca brotherhe Party Game Cofrade meetingthe card game inspired by the rhythms and codes of the steps There it was And my particular favorite, the Who is who cofradewith editions for seven Andalusian cities and where you have to identify a wide variety of images of steps. One step further. But of course, Holy Week gives for a lot of fun, and we have recently seen games of a certain complexity: The Holy Meeting It is a game of charges of collecting and stealing steps. Certain similarities have Processions and Cofrade Citywhere strategy and resource management are involved in a struggle to be the most noticeable brotherhood. And finally, there is the elegant GO CERC a skill game with die -cut steps and in which you have to go collecting promises with a throne miniature. Products for all. It is debatable if Holy Week and its relationship with industry and tourism has not been, for decades, a commercial product. But it is clear that the last times, new technologies and the Internet have taken a special turn. Only then have they been able to be born Escape Rooms Holy Week theme, Immersive experiences 360 or 3D printing businesses Brotherhood products. The market continues to evolve so that the passion does not vain.

China controls the solar energy supply chain. Europe wants to change it with a huge factory in Asturias

by

If you had ever thought about how form a solar panel Your process is not easy. This puzzle that passes from a Fine wafer to photovoltaic He has all his framework. Asturias will begin to manufacture this small piece, which is essential for its operation. The heart of a panel. A Catalan company, Sunwafebacked by Innoenergy, are in the process of building the first large bullion factory and wafer for photovoltaic solar panels in Spain. To do this, he has obtained an aid of 199 million euros from the Ministry of Ecological Transition, aimed at supporting this installation in Gijón, As Efe has had access. The company has obtained both public and private financing to develop this project. In fact, he has received one of the largest subsidies in the State in Asturias, within the framework of the government’s renewal call, which allocated 297.3 million euros to key projects in renewable energy, According to the trade. The first piece of puzzle. In this puzzle that is the process of manufacturing the solar panel, the plant will focus on silicon purification, its foundry to form ingots, and the subsequent cut of these bullion in thin wafers. All this and then send it to other plants with which the photovoltaic will form. As for the objective of the initiative, Sunwafe seeks to produce 2.5 billion wafers per year by 2030, which will allow you According to the voice of Asturias. The most standardized material. Solar cells They have experienced A radical transformation in recent years. In all this time, the element that dominates the sector remains silicon, since they are The standard in industries. Along the same lines, there are A boom with Perovskitas panelsbut silicon tandem cells are still the most promising for its generalized use. Zero dependencies. Today, China is the undisputed leader of solar energy export, how demonstrates an Ember study. However, this new factory raises a change in the photovoltaic value chain, reducing the dependence of this supplier and others for Spain and, in turn, the European Union, the European Union, According to RTPA. At the moment, the European Union Continue depending In much of China for the manufacture of their renewable energies, but projects like this can open a new path. An impulse for Spain. Although the country managed to close last year with a fee of Total renewable generation of 63.9%the production of materials has not yet settled after the rise of Chinese production. In this way, this new factory will become the third EU factory that will produce silicon wafers, how They have reported in New Spain. This opening in Gijón is a good example of the shy reindustrialization that institutions are looking for.

A huge blue spiral appeared in the sky of Europe at 9 at night. It was the wake of a spacex rocket

by

It is hard to believe, but the last night were not aliens either. If you were looking at the sky at 20:55, European central time, you could see a bright blue spiral illuminating the night. It was a Spacex rocket. A strange show. In United Kingdom, Belgium, Poland either Ukraine. From The clean skies of Sierra Nevadain Granada. Virtually all of Europe has managed to capture the spiral light that crossed the sky last night. They soon appeared photos on social networks. People asked what that strange phenomenon was. It is not a usual show, although it has already been seen in Hawaii, Alaska either Iceland. A Falcon 9 of Spacex. Neither a missile, nor a satellite, nor a galaxy about to swallow us. Nor a UFO. The object had a name and surname because it was a Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex by recentrating in the earth’s atmosphere. He had taken off from Cabo Cañaveral, east of the United States, two hours before. The Spy Nrol-69 satellite of the American National Recognition Office (NRO) had put in orbit. And he was returning to the earth to disintegrate in the atmosphere in a controlled way. What caused the spiral. Before a controlled reentry, the 13.8 -meter length rocket rotates to get rid of the fuel that is still in its deposits; A process called passivity. The low temperatures instantly froze the propellants released by the rocket, which added to the turn movement and the position of the sun caused the light show over Europe. The turn is what made it look like a spiral, and the sunlight was what illuminated the frozen wake. Nothing to do with the incident of Poland. In February, the second stage of a Falcon 9 rented without control over Europe. Several pieces of the rocket fell into populated areas of Poland, without causing damage (except the dismissal of the president of the Polish Space Agencyfor its management of the incident). In this case, and as is usually the case, the second stage of Falcon 9 successfully turned on its engine to fall controlled in the atmosphere, far from populated areas. They were the light conditions and the flight profile that made its wake visible in the European night sky, without further consequences than the scare of some European spectators.
