Navigating from Madrid to Lisbon, the pharaonic real dream that gave rise to the failed Channel del Manzanares

by

The Manzanares river in Madrid has become one of the protagonists of recent days. March is being an extremely rainy month, so much that it has caused Solar energy ceases to grow in Spainbut has also caused the River overflow throughout the country. One of those rivers is Manzanares, which is usually a thread of water and Now it’s a torrent. But the river has not only become news for the increase in flow, but because during the works of Metro line 11 they have found a section of the real historical channel of Manzanares, an ambitious project that It was centuries on the table and that had a target target: join Madrid, Lisbon and Seville by boat. Felipe II’s dream Felipe II It is not just one of the most remembered kings in Spain: it may also be from Europe. Under his reign, The Spanish Empire reached its peak And it was a monarch interested in finance projects of several sciences. He also liked the sea, starting maritime engineering projects, stimulating the creation of large warships and the most ambitious of all: the idea of ​​making The main rivers of the peninsula were navigable. Another detail for which Felipe II is remembered is for the move of the capital of the country: he decided that Madrid would be the ideal location, so he transferred the court in full. But of course, Madrid did not have direct access to the sea and this was something important, especially for trade and those expansionist ambitionsso the project To open Madrid to the sea, he made eyes to the king. And the task fell into the hands of the Italian engineer Juan Bautista Antonelli. Nothing, something simple: Tajo, Duero, Guadalquivir and Ebro, among other rivers, would become navigable, with channels among them that would allow Madrid to have a way out of the sea and a river connection with some of the main cities of the country. For commerce, this was an extremely juicy idea between cities and between Madrid and European, Chinese, African and Indian cities. Fourth Lock of the Real Canal del Manzanares Felipe supported the project And he released funds to be carried out, but it was not going to be simple: a slope of more than 600 meters had to be saved and the necessary adjustments first to open Madrid and, later, that the 600 kilometers that separates the capital from the Atlantic coast were completely navigable. HE I would continue The route of the river and They would create 10 locks between the Toledo bridge and the Vaciamadrid jetty, many for a distance of just 20 kilometers. The capital would join with Aranjuez and, through the Tagus, it would have an exit to the Atlantic by Lisbon. A road was also projected to Seville. He did not set. Although the works are They started Among the Madrid and Alcantara Madrid nuclei, the money was not unlimited and the cocktail of technical difficulties, issues with private properties and, above all, The financing of the invincible Navycaused the money to be redistributed and the interior navigation project was saved in the drawer. He also influenced that, in 1588 Antonelli died and, in 1598, Felipe would. Madrid with double exit to the sea Later it was tried to recover, but the decisive moment came under the reign of Carlos III. Businessman Pedro Martinengo took the witness and presented In 1769 the project to recover the ambitious plan of Felipe II. The construction began in 1770 when Carlos III approved the proposal and the initial funds were in charge of Martinengo himself and private investors he had gathered. Under the direction of the businessman, the project advanced completing eight of the ten planned locks, but the costs were being tremendous and ran out of funds to continue. Martinengo had ruined, but Carlos III liked the projectso bought and thus officially became the Real Canal del Manzanares. The tenth lock Nor do we think that the monarch invested too much: he maintained what there was. Nor is it that he caught the economy at its most buoyant time and the river itself was not the most appropriate for navigation, since it needed water transvases to be able to operate correctly. Some companies were established, such as furnaces, but the channel was being underutilized. With Carlos IV, the thing didn’t improve either. Again, invested just as to maintain it, But in 1799 the disaster arrived: strong rains took part of the Gasco dam, a new construction on the Guadarraman that was the one that was taking the money. Another lock This set of misfortunes, and seeing that the Manzanares channel had been stagnant decades without contributing what was promised, caused the abandonment of the project until the arrival of a Fernando VII who tried to recover it, building the ninth and tenth lock and carrying the work until the vicinity of Vaciamadrid. But the work was not finished. Progress arrived Upon stopping, the channel was degrading, but the last nail in the coffin was the passage of time. In the time of Felipe II, the project could make sense. With Carlos III too, but already entered the 19th, things had changed a lot. The development of roads and, above all, the arrival of the railroad made the priorities change. Why keep investing a fortune to open Madrid to the sea when there were faster than the ship to transport goods? Apart from what The Manzanares channel looked like a money background wellin 1851 the Aranjuez train was inaugurated and, although with Isabel II some boats had sailed through the channel, in the second half of the 19th century it was decided to cut the tap of the funds. When not staying and being water is for a long time, health problems began to appear. The channel became a danger and, although maintenance work began again, around 1860 it was decided Cancel Definitely the pharaonic project. The irony: the railway bridge over the Manzanares … Read more

Madrid has its own ‘dead language’ with dictionary and translations. There are those who resist that they fall into oblivion

by

In Spain there is an official language, Spanish, and A handful of co -official languages. The country’s complete linguistic photo is however much (much) richer and includes a wide range of Dialectal varietiesin addition to countless jargon and Sociolectsways to use language limited to a specific group. For years Madrid managed his own, Chelia speech that left a mark in the Royal Academy, inspired novelists and film directors, and even has its own dictionary and several translations. His golden age may be behind, but that does not mean that there are people who still claims its value and fight so that (if not spoken) at least it is talk about him. What is Chelii? A sociolect, a speech, a kind of dialect without fix but with abundant vocabulary, a sign of identity associated with a city (Madrid) and a time (especially the 80s and the first 90), a “Generational slang”in the words of the novelist Paco Umbral … or If we ask him to the RAE dictionary, a “jargon with castizos, marginal and countercultural elements.” Cheli is all that and some more things, like a improbable link of union between Camilo José Cela, Enrique Tierno Galván, Ramoncín and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; But above all it is a rich, spontaneous and diverse way of communicating that enjoyed its particular golden age mainly during the movement. What is its origin? It is counted that the term as Francisco Umbral coined it in The countrybut As I remembered a couple of years ago Álvaro de Benito, journalist and passionate about linguistics, one thing is the baptismal act and a very different birth. To know the origins of Cheli you have to probably go back much further back, the 18th century and the rise of the Casticism. Over time he gained background and form, vocabulary, expressions and style. It expanded. His great era was, however, the last decades of the twentieth. It is in that period, in the late 70s, when places its hatching The French linguist Henriette Walterwho came to dedicate a couple of pages in his essay ‘The adventure of languages ​​in the West’published in 1994. “It began to speak in Madrid in the criminal environments, is inspired by the drug slaughter and in the caló,” says the expert, who refers to him as “Cheli, passage or roll language.” Who spoke it? As I remembered A few years ago The journalist Arsenio School, Walter places the origins of “El Pasota” between Barcelona and Seville, but the land in which he managed to consecrate “as a social phenomenon” was another: the Madrid. There he fell deep. The neighborhoods were linked in a moment of profound political and social changes and sneaked into stores, taverns, factories, markets … although as with most languages ​​and dialects, Cheli was not an unalterable, unidimensional and static reality. In An article Posted a few weeks ago in The Spanish newspaper (EPE) Pedro del Corral remembered that depending on the age and training of speakers it was used in one way or another. It was also linked to some neighborhoods. All this served to somewhat cheli will be used for more than talking: it was a sign of identity between groups. Was it only used in the street? No. Cheli reached the screens and books, institutional acts and even aroused the interest of laureate singers and novelists. They reproduced him in some of his works Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio and Camilo José Celait rang in ‘The glass ball’ or the movie ‘Navajeros’ from Eloy de la Iglesia and threshold dedicated him in 1983 A dictionary whose presentation It was headed by the tierra Galván mayor, who even started talking to the public at the Palacio del Conde-Duque in Madrid. It was not the only one. In 1993 Ramoncín launched ‘El Toccho Cheli’that self -defined as a “dictionary of jargon, Germanías and jerigonzas”, and three years later it followed ‘The new billy cheli’. Entremedias, in 1994, Antonio Alonso, chaplain of the Carabanchel prison, decided to go further and develop an adaptation to Cheli of the ‘New Testament’. He titled it ‘El Chuli, the colleagues and the basca’a declaration of intentions: in its pages Jesus becomes Chuchi, the Apartlets in colleagues and the fishermen in Basca. Is it the only translation? The answer is not again. And explain why Cheli has become news again in recent years. In 2022, after an investigation of year and a half Álvaro de Benito, journalist and passionate about languages ​​and dialects, decided to launch A translation to the Cheli of one of the great classics of universal literature, ‘Le Petit Prince’of the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The adaptation is already reflected in the same title of the work: ‘The main kids (with the fetal ticks of the Menda)’. 92 pages that are a vindication of Madrid slang and have served to return it to the spotlights. Why ‘the Little Prince’? De Benito explained it clearly in an interview to Madrid Secret. “Regardless of whether we like it or not, ‘the Little Prince’ is a universal and valid tool for the dissemination of languages. Every time something comes out of it, a stir is assembled,” confesses. Cheli is not in fact the only adaptation published by its editorial, From tuma. In Your catalog There are others in Cantabrian, Manchego, fritter, Hoketía, Gacería or the Talk about rebollar. How was the process? Álvaro de Benito was born in 1980, so that during the years of splendor of Cheli was still a child. In addition to pulling your own experience It was documented With philological studies, articles, magazines, films, novels … the result, however, is not the same as a conventional translation into an official language with an academy behind it in charge of defining its canon. “In English you can translate well or badly, but Cheli can only adapt it. It is not a matter of doing it right or badly,” Explain from Benito. “I picked up the greatest possible vocabulary. There have been people who … Read more

Madrid libra a new existential battle in its tourist process: the invasion of the tuk tuk

by

Until not so long ago tuk tuk They were associated mainly with Thailand or India, populations of Asia where they circulated through crowded streets, often with foreigners on board. Not anymore. As Spain Win weight in the International Capital Tourist Circuit as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville either Alicante They have begun to see how These vehicles Light and three -wheeled, they reached their neighborhoods, becoming passing through A headache For the authorities. In Madrid They know well. So much that the City Council has launched to the complicated task of regular Your activity. Fever Tuktukera. In the most busy destinations the Tourist It is felt in different ways and on different fronts: in the real estate marketin The commercial fabric And in the streets. In February we told you how in the center of Madrid there are already bass that They have passed to host banks to become private and payment WC. The tuk tuk They are another test. A few years ago they associated with cities like Bangkok. Now they are common in Spanish destinations (Valencia, Alicante either A Coruñato mention three) where they offer tours for tourists who want to save walks. Click on the image to go to Tweet. THE CASE OF MADRID. Another clear example is Madrid. At least in the summer of 2023 the sector calculated that they operated there about 50 tuk tuk managed by a dozen companies and freelancers. It is not bad if you consider that fever Tuktukera It started in Spain makes less than a decadetowards 2016. That is a quick search for that year and a half In networks either Google It shows that in Madrid there are still people who offer tours aboard these light vehicles. In fact their number is high enough (or visible) so that they can be found in X complaints from neighbors who denounce their presence in THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE REAL PALACE either San Migueltwo Hot Spots of Madrid tourism. They also have been under time The media focus and of the municipal authorities, which They have put themselves To analyze your situation. But … why? Because although its number can be much lower than that of taxis (Madrid has 15,700 licenses) either VTC vehiclesthe tuk tuk They present certain peculiarities that have generated debate. Both in Madrid and other cities, including Seville, Barcelona either Alicante. The controversy usually revolves around several points: its presence in the streets (with the consequent Effect on traffic), its regulatory framework and the competition they pose for traditional mobility alternatives, such as taxis. The Tourism Area of ​​the City of Madrid I explained recently to The Spanish that belong to the category l of motor vehicles with less than four wheels and, therefore, have a circulation permission. Its normative lace seems, however, less clear. The city mayor itself, José Luis Martínez Almeida, I recognized A few months ago being “worried” about “the phenomenon of tuk tuk“ Click on the image to go to Tweet. Ordering the sector. In addition to recognizing your concern, in September Almeida revealed that had ordered the Councilor for Tourism to specify “the regulatory framework” that protects the tuk tuk. The objective: “to be able to make decisions about it.” The opposition itself He has shown In fact, their “doubts about the legal margins” in which these vehicles provide their tourist services, in addition to the competition they exert on licensed taxis. At the beginning of the year the City Council assured that he is studying “everything” related to the service, but warned that it is not the only administration that must act. “All this is being studied, but first it is necessary tuk tuk“, They remembered from the municipal area of ​​Finance. “They hinder traffic”. The debate around the regulatory framework has not prevented the tuk tuk Be well visible, especially in the points with the greatest flow of tourists in the city. “Apart from the Royal Palace, Bailén and Major the San Miguel market is horrible,” They recognized Recently from the sector. “Legally in these areas you can stop for a moment if it is to collect or leave the client; but many companies and self -employment stop, park, and offer their services to capture tourists, hindering traffic.” {“Videoid”: “X80ZM7F”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “How your town or city has changed in 40 years: This is the new function of Google Earth”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “135”} In Atocha as in Bangladesh. The taxi drivers are also very critical and in 2023 they warned of the competition they suffered. “We begin to see that they take tourists in the hotels with suitcases and take them to the stations. We have detected them around Atocha, as if this were Bangladesh,” regretted At that time the professional federation of the Taxi of Madrid. Among the professionals who are in charge of driving these vehicles, they would “love to” have stops for tuk tuk regulated.

Tokyo has four times more population than Madrid and traffic jams are non -existent. The secret is called Shako Shomeishho

by

Spain has an extension of 506,030 square kilometers And they live 48.35 million people. Japan has an area of 377,974 square kilometers where 124.5 million people live. In the city of Madrid it is calculated that they live 3.23 million peoplewhile in Tokyo a total of 14.22 million people. The difference is even more striking if we take into account population density. In Madrid they live 5,265.91 hab./km², while Tokyo rises to 6. 501.58 hab./km². Which of the two cities is hell to drive? If you throw one eye to photographs of Japanese citiesyou will have realized that there are a lot, many people walking and in public transport. But how many cars do you see on the street? The answer is simple: very few. If we attend to the 2020 dataSpain had in use 29,875,896 million cars, while in Japan 76,702,773 cars were counted. How can it be that a country with a much lower surface and that walks to triple our population Don’t be a car hell If you have a car density per person very similar to ours (629 cars/1,000 inhabitants for Spain for the 609 cars/1000 inhabitants for Japan)? They have achieved, of course, limiting to the force the number of cars that can be possessed in the big cities where, by logic, a greater number of cars should accumulate. As? The secret is Shako Shomeishho Although the density of car per inhabitant is very similar to the Spanish, the truth is that it collapses if we focus on large cities. In Japan it is estimated that each home has 1.06 cars of the total. That figure collapses to the 0.32 vehicles per household In Tokyo. The great Japanese city is, in fact, the rich city where the car is used. According to Deloitteonly 12% of the daily journeys in Tokyo are carried out by car, while 17% are bicycle. Figures that are not understood without two express prohibitions: that of parking on the street and buying a car … without space to park it. And a little luck. Andre Sorensen, professor of urban planning at the University of Toronto, says that part of Tokyo’s success to get this low vehicle density begins by a chance. At the beginning of the 20th centuryjust 15% of the Japanese lived in cities. That figure is now 91%. Tokyo (above) and Rotterdam (below) two examples of cities rebuilt after World War II. Source: Google Maps The explosion came with the end of World War II. The cities were razed and the growth in Tokyo was so chaotic that the buildings began to grow without control, some glued to others. You can compare with Google Maps photographs how Tokyo grew, completely uncontrolled with countless tiny plots, and how Rotterdam grew, with a planning studied to combine green areas in residential areas. Sorensen explains that this population explosion caused the flowering of narrow streets that hindered the passage and storage of the vehicles themselves. The wave of workers to the cities forced the institutions They will turn off with public transport And in 1957 the first measure was taken to regulate the use of the car in cities. And, with rebound, a good reason to discourage its use. Since then a law is applied that prevents the car on the street. What is usual in any European city, in Japan it is strictly prohibited. The fine is also no nonsense. They apply sanctions of up to 200,000 yen for leaving the car irregularly parked what is a fine of more than 1,200 euros. Just a few years later, in 1962 the Shako Shomeishho. This name refers to the certificate that the buyer of a car has to present when acquiring the vehicle. With him it is guaranteed that this person has a place to park the car. That is, it has a parking space to park the car every night. If you don’t have a garage, you will be forbidden to buy a car. The Kei Cars, like this Daihatsu Copen, do not need to have a parking certificate except in Tokyo and Osaka This Shako Shomeisho does not apply to Kei Carsthe small Japanese cars that measure less than 3.4 meters in length, 1.48 meters wide and 2.0 meters high and with motors of less than 660 cc that cannot exceed the 64 hp of power. Of course, in the larger cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the obligation to have the garage certificate to get a vehicle is also applied. The Shako Shomeishho has triggered the price of the land of parking lots. In fact, the expensive thing is not to buy a car, the expensive thing is to get the possibility of buying a car. Is Something similar to what happens in Singapore With a subtle difference: there are spaces available to park cars in Tokyo that are sold for more than one million euros and in the ads themselves the yield that can be taken out allowing the rental of vehicles per hour is reflected. And you have to keep in mind that Not all parking lots are valid. The garage to save the car must be less than two kilometers from the usual residence and to get the certificate, it must be able to corroborate this with plans or even require the entry and exit measures of the garage. If the car is too large, the buyer can have problems for the authorities to approve the certificate and have nowhere to park … or rent it. The solution can go through rent the garages But there are neighborhoods where monthly rentals can easily go above 500 euros (about 77,000 yen). In some very specific places in the most expensive neighborhoods, the spaces They are quoted with rents above 700 euros (110,000 yen). How could it be otherwise, the houses for sale are offered with triggered prices when the “central” combiance and “parking space” shake hands. With offers that exceed 3.5 million euros (550 million yen) … Read more

Madrid only produces 4.8% of the energy it consumes, but has found a place to solve it: the subsoil

by

In 1980, a group of geologists set out to investigate the depths of Madrid and I did not speak of the Movebut discover if under its soil there was oil. The black gold fever had reached the Castilian plateau. However, what seemed like a dream of energy self -sufficiency ended up opening the door to unexpected energy. Today, that story continues to be written, but with a turn that nobody anticipated. The search. One of the first and most serious drilling attempts was the one made by Shell in 1980 in the well known as “El Pradillo-1” where no hydrocarbons were found. At that time the Spanish capital dreamed of becoming an oil city attentive to the prevalence of fossil fuel above other alternatives at that time not yet sufficiently exploited. More than 3,500 meters deep, engineers did not find oil but very valuable data about the subsoil temperature, which gave rise to the exploration of geothermal energy. Thus, They found a geothermal aquifer with temperatures between 70ºC and 90ºC at depths that range between 1,500 and 2,150 meters. Over the years, More perforations were performed In nearby areas, such as three songs, San Sebastián de los Reyes and Geomadrid-1, where multicapa aquifers found with temperatures to produce geothermal energy. Although exploitation has not yet been developed on a large scale, investigations continue, and this renewable resource is expected to be used in the future as an alternative energy source in Madrid. Among the pros of this discovery, intrinsic characteristics of this type of clean energy that are based on the use of heat stored in groundwater stand out to generate electricity and for homes. But why isn’t it exploited? Despite the discovery of a significant geothermal potential in the Madrid subsoil, the exploitation of this energy source has not yet developed on a large scale Due to several factors Among those that include, in the first place, the high cost of initial investigations and perforations, the infrastructure necessary to take advantage of the heat of the subsoil efficiently, such as the construction of geothermal plants and water reinjection systems. Energy comes from other communities. Madrid only produces 4.8% of the energy it consumes. This fact only represents the urgency that the Autonomous Community should have to resolve the scarce of alternatives to meet its domestic demand. At present, the ranquin between the communities that more depends on the energy of other areas. If the Madrid region will diversify its energy mix through the use of geothermal energy, not only would it increase its self -sufficiency, but also contribute to a more balanced energy model between the different autonomous communities with economic redundancies throughout the country. In addition, it would lead to rethinking The installation of data centersamong other alternatives, and would reduce Energy generation concentration In certain areas of the country, the pressure on energy transport and distribution infrastructures, which would benefit the entire national energy system by reducing the carbon footprint. The forecasts. With the progress of drilling technologies and improvements in thermal use systems, such as geothermal heat pumps, Madrid could already be able to begin to take advantage of their geothermal resources more efficiently. This is what the Basque Country has done with Geothermal rings at the university. Another possible alternative is to take an example to Iceland, which has turned geothermal energy at the base of its energy model, representing 66% of the total primary energy consumption of the country.

Catalonia is determined to lead the conversion and sale of the electric car. His great objective is called Madrid

by

It is fulfilled a month since aids to MOVES III PLAN For the purchase of electric cars they fall. Silence since then. From experience with what lived in other countries, the electric car needs Purchase aids If you want to gain ground. An ambitious, stable and lasting aid program is the one that has achieved that almost all of the cars sold In Norway, they are electric. On the opposite side, Germany has seen how Their sales collapsed After withdrawing the aid forced. Taking into account that Spain was costing to take off in sales, we run the risk of unplugged with this technology And take a step back in the penetration of this technology just now that brands begin to propose vehicles at more affordable prices, with options of between 20,000 and 30,000 euros. In the middle of all this context, the Generalitat de Catalunya has presented a project to reimprorate sales of this type of technology, which also depends on its own automobile industry. A plan that revolves around the electric car Last January 2025, plug and electrical hybrids added 11,358 units in Spain. Of these, 4,571 units were recorded in Madrid. It accounted for 40.24% of sales throughout Spain. The figure is far from any other that can shade. Catalonia is the Second most populous autonomous community From Spain and takes more than one million inhabitants to the Community of Madrid. Barcelona It is also the second largest city in Spain, only behind the capital. Despite this, in January they only enrolled 1,624 cars classified as plug or electrical hybrids. 14.30% of the total sales of the territory. Given this perspective, the Government of the Generalitat has presented a plan to reimpulse the sale of this type of technology. The project, as we said a few days ago, has a transverse perspective because also Electrify the motorcycle fleet. The final intention is to make the electric car industry the stone on which the future of the automobile market turns. To achieve this you want to attack points that are considered keys: Multiply by five the recharge points network available in the next five years. Loans for self -employed and companies electrifying their fleets. Electrify 90% of the fleet used by the Catalan administration. The intention is to dedicate 150 million euros to sow the Catalan land of electric plugs. You want to move from the current 9,000 load points to a total of 45,000 plugs available. As for loans, a credit line of 400 million euros will be established to facilitate access to this type of technology and try to eliminate the barrier from the equation price. During the announcement of the Project, the Generalitat Catalan emphasized the importance of maintaining the good health of an industry that in the region generates 35,000 people occupied in 10,300 companies. By turnover, automotive represents the third sector of Catalonia.

Madrid has discussed whether the horses that patrol the retirement must wear diapers. They would not be the first

by

Madrid municipal policy has these days A peculiar protagonist: the horses with which the police patrol through the park of The retirement. And for an even more strange reason: diapers. Perhaps both concepts seem little related to each other, but the PSOE has proposed to unite them and that the horses that walk through the emblematic garden of the capital must use a system that collects its feces. They would not be The first. Horses with diapers? Yes. The image is shocking (at least), but that is basically the idea that the PSOE Plan to carry today To the Municipal Board of Retirement: that the horses with which the police patrol the park use a system that retains their feces and prevent them from falling to the ground. In short, give them diapers. “Avoid the presence of horse droppings in the park and its surroundings, stenores, bad image and unhealthiness,” argues The socialist group in the motion that will lead to this afternoon’s meeting. “No one has stopped us”. The idea will be discussed during the plenary of the Municipal Board of the Retiro Districtbut the PP has already seen that it welcomes it with skepticism. For the delegate of Urbanism, Environment and Mobility, Borja Carabanteit is a “anecdote” and even took the opportunity to launch a small polish to socialist mayor. “Madrid goes extraordinarily well because if the main problem that the city has for the left is whether the horses as they pass through the retirement carry diapers or not …” Ironized. “These are the things that the PSOE thinks.” To finish off, Carabante assures that anyone has stopped him through the streets to transfer him that horsepower in the park suppose “a real problem. Criticism, but with nuances. Despite criticism and subtracting importance to the proposal (already expenses of what happens today in the Plenary), the delegate of Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility has advanced since the idea of ​​the PSOE will not fall into a broken jacket. Carabante says that he will study the proposal with the cleaning services because, reason“At the end of what is a proposal so that the cleaning staff does not have to work collecting excrement.” Shocking yes, but … novel? When arguing his proposal, the PSOE remembers that using systems to retain horses’ excrement, a kind of ‘equine diapers’, is not entirely new or something that has occurred to Madrid socialists. “This measure is already happening in other cities with quite successful”, claims In the motion. Beyond Madrid. In Spain there are precedents. Years ago the City of Seville and the coachmen signed an agreement so that mid -2012 The latter added a “Excrement bag” to the horses that pull their calese. The idea was more or less the same: Incorporate a device between the rear rooms of the animals and the car itself to collect the stool. Something similar can be seen in Other cities Spanish or even from the rest of Europe, such as London or Viennaespecially in cars for tourists. The goal is always the same: prevent horses from getting dirty the areas through which they pass. In The specific case From El Retiro, the focus is on the horses of the patrols, which would affect above all, Tele Madrid said yesterdayto those of the Municipal Police.

Vinícius will continue in Real Madrid

by

Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has assured that this Wednesday “no” will be “pending” other results On the last day of the League Liga Phase of the Champions League, in which a round would be saved if they manage to finish in the ‘Top 8’. Ancelotti has insisted that they will only be “focused” on their party against Brest, in addition to being convinced that Vinícius “will choose the glory” to the money of a possible offer of Saudi Arabia. “We are not going to be pending, we will be pending after the game. The goal is to win it to finish as high as possible in the table, and then we will have the raffle and see what happens. We are only focused on the game, trying to win it and nothing more, ”he told a press conference. In addition, he believes that it will be “a difficult game” because the French team “has done very well” this course, especially in the Champions League. “It has a point more than us. It has the possibility of qualifying well in the table, it will be a game with a lot of at stake, both for them and for us. We want to close this group stage, which has been complicated, and finish as high as possible in the table, ”said Ancelotti. “It is a team that plays taking advantage of the quality of the players. They have a very high striker, very good head. They play a lot for the center, but it is a team that can create problems against it because they have fast extremes. It is a well -organized team, it is no accident that has made 13 points in this first phase, because it has played better than the rival. It is a team that we respect a lot, ”he continued. Ancelotti also assured his continuity In another order of things, the white coach was quite convinced of his continuity in the white club. “I think so, there is no doubt in this. The club and I want to continue as far as possible; If something strange happens, there could be a change in this regard, this is what normally happens in football. But we are fine, we are working well, we have confidence, the club has confidence in my work, I have confidence in what the club gives me to me … ”, he valued. “We do not think about what will happen in a year, we think about trying to make a good season. We are well positioned, despite all difficulties, because many forget that many players are still missing and that they are gradually improving, demonstrating a good attitude. We have confidence in this season, as we have had in the past years, ”he added. In addition, he did not refuse to talk about the alleged offer to Vinícius of Saudi Arabia, recognizing that he could understand that it was for a huge amount of money. “I understand everything, in football I understand everything. I have also understood that, for example, Toni Kroos has left football, when few have understood. They are individual decision making. I see the happy player, wanting to win, to stay here, to win titles with Real Madrid. I think he is thinking of choosing glory “he said. MBAPPÉ MOTIVATION About the French Kylian Mbappé, he stressed that “It has needed adaptation time to the team” and that is now “very well and very motivated”. “What highlights a lot is that he likes to play with the team, he likes to play with colleagues. We are enjoying it, everyone is enjoying their quality, ”he said. “The team is improving, and although we are not at our best level, I think we are quite close. We are very clear about what we have to do. The truth is that the team has improved as a team, with collective work, but also the individualities are contributing a lot, obviously especially Mbappé, but we cannot forget what Rodrygo has done in this period, what Bellingham has done, which, which He has done vinicius too. That leaves me a little calmer, ”he concluded.

Real Madrid has an almost impossible mission in the Champions League

by

Forced to win, even to win, and wait for results of up to five gamesthe current European champion, the real MadridVisit to Brest In search of an impossible carambola that allows him to end among the first eights the league phase of the new format of the Champions Leagueto avoid a qualifier prior to the round of 16. Three losses – before Lille, Milan and Liverpool – mark the first experience of Real Madrid in the new ‘Champions’. Victim of his irregular start of the course, the final reaction with the victory at the Atalanta Casa scared ghosts and The winch to Salzburg left a remote possibility of direct access to the eighths open. To do this, Carlo Ancelotti’s team should not just win, winning for more than three goals difference to Brest, You must also wait Barcelona’s victory against Atalanta, from Inter Milan against Monaco, a draw between Lille and Feyenoord, the defeat in his home in Aston Villa against Celtic and that Bayern Munich does not go to Slovan Bratislava. With the whole day at play at the same time, aware of the difficulty of avoiding the previous qualifier of the eighths, Real Madrid will go their game. Its objective is to extend the good dynamics initiated after the hard blow of the classic lost with a win in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Four consecutive wins with 17 goals marked. Encounters in which Kylian Mbappé assumed the leadership that was expected to arrive. Five consecutive games marking. Eight targets that show the dimension of a footballer who marks the differences. At a time when, in addition, the sanctions moved vinícius junior. Absent in two days of LaLiga. It also goes down in France on the last group day of the Champions League for card accumulation. It will be the first confrontation of history between both clubs, an adequate scenario so that Alaba will be closed again the chapter of your long recovery process After a serious knee injury. After thirteen months away from the playing land needs rhythm and Ancelotti has been giving minutes announcing nearby ownership. In case it is substitute, Raúl Asencio will return to the center of the rear for Lucas Vázquez’s return to the right side. The main doubt to resolve ‘Carletto’ is in the center of the field if Aurélien Tchouaméni returns to the medocentro demarcation. There would be no room for everyone, and that Eduardo Camavinga is still missing about to reappear after a muscle injury. The sweet moment of Dani Ceballos would have a break. Above, Brahim appears as the main candidate to occupy the vinícius hole, with Rodrygo Goes returning to his preferred demarcation on the left. The Brest, meanwhile, wants to close its participation in the group stage of the Champions League with a good mouth taste that has brought this competition and exhausting its latest options to end among the best eight, although they know about the power of the power of the power of the Real Madrid. After winning three of the first four games in that competition, the Bretons lost in Barcelona and their series deviated a little, until they ended the defeat of last week against the Shaktar Donesk that took them in 13th place with thirteen points. Insured to be at least in the playful, Eric Roy’s face the duel after have chained three consecutive wins in your championshipwhat has straightened his Andean in that competition where they are eighth. The French coach, who knows well that his aura of the surprise team of the Champions League has been diluted, recovers to face those of Kylian Mbappé to the defense Soumaïla Coulibaly, absent since last November 6 due to injury. But with four casualties for the left side, which will force Roy to place in that position the Portuguese midfielder Mathias Pereira Lage, which can constitute a weak point. In attack, the trident led by Ludovic Ajorque, backed by Romain del Castillo and Abadallah Sima, will seek to create problems to the Madrid rear. The grass of the Guingamp stadium, where the Brest has to play its games because yours does not meet the UEFA rules, has supported the storm that Brittany has crossed in recent hours thanks to a good drainage system and its system of its system of heating. Probable Brest alignment Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Pereira Lage; Camara, Fernandes, Magnetti; Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima. Real Madrid probable alignment Lucas Vázquez, Alaba or Asencio, Rüdiger, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Fede Valverde, Bellingham; Brahim, Rodrygo and Mbappé.

by

The Spanish LaLiga Classic between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, corresponding to the next May 10/11, could be played outside Spain Given the problems of the Catalans with the construction of their stadium and not having the municipal permission to continue playing at the Lluís Companys Stadium on that date. According to information from Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga Español, the status in which the advances of the Spotify Camp Nou and Although the other option is the Lluís Company, said permit for use is in force until April 30 and have not yet received the respective renewal. “They have not communicated anything to us (that the classic cannot be played at Barcelona’s house). I know what I have been able to read. There was talk outside Spain, but we don’t know anything. In fact, if there is a problem of force majeure due to the works, as there have been on other occasions, it has played outside its stadium, ”explained Thebes on Monday. “They would have to have the authorization of Real Madrid, and it would be studied“He added about the possibility of playing abroad. Thebes also referred to the controversy over the schedules of LaLiga, with complaints from some clubs. “Every year there are complaints about the schedules, it is very difficult to square the schedules when there are European competitions and Copa del Rey. One feels a lot, but sometimes they touch these circumstances, ”he said. Finally, the head of the Spanish competition also spoke about the complaints regarding the actions of the referees. “It is an issue that, unfortunately, we have seen a couple of years. It is not a new topic. I do not like such criticism, such as those that are being carried out by Realmadrid TV or those of Joan Laporta. On February 6 we have a meeting with all the clubs and the Technical Committee of Referees and see if we advance or see some type of solution. A year ago LaLiga clubs said the arbitration system had to be changed, ”he said. Even though In the past there have been a history of editions of the classic outside of Spain, so far there are no indications of a country that can receive the clash.
