OPPO is back on track. After launching last year the OPPO Find X8 Proa terminal whose camera we loved, the Chinese firm did not want to let the month of October pass without renewing its catalog with the OPPO Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. They are, as it could not be otherwise, two devices that aspire to the throne of the most premium high-end Android and that, to no one’s surprise, bet everything on the camera. The biggest differences between both models are in the screen and in the photographic section. The most striking thing is, once again, the zoom and the battery. OPPO has been betting on the silicon-carbon batteries and in its new models it has not skimped on milliamp hours: both terminals exceed 7,000 mAh capacity. That being said, let’s get to know them a little better. Technical sheet of the OPPO Find X9 5G and Find X9 Pro 5G OPPO Find x9 5G OPPO find x9 pro 5G dimensions and weight 156.9 x 73.9 x 7.99mm 203 grams 161.2 x 76.4 x 8.25mm 224 grams screen 6.59-inch ProXDR AMOLED Resolution 1.5K (2,760 x 1,256 pixels) Screen to body ratio: 95.4% 20:9 format 460 DPI Refresh rate: 30/60/90/120 Hz Touch sampling: 240Hz 10bit color Typical brightness: 800 nits Maximum brightness: 1,800 nits Peak brightness: 3,600 nits 6.79-inch ProXDR AMOLED Resolution 1.5K (2,772 x 1,272 pixels) Screen to body ratio: 95.5% 20:9 format 450 DPI Refresh rate: 1-120Hz Touch sampling: 240Hz 10bit color Typical brightness: 800 nits Maximum brightness: 1,800 nits Peak brightness: 3,600 nits PWM Dimming: 2,160Hz Dolby Vision HDR10+ HDR Vivid processor MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Arm G1-Ultra GPU MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Arm G1-Ultra GPU ram memory 12GB LPDDR5x 16GB LPDDR5x internal storage 512GB UFS 4.1 512GB UFS 4.1 rear camera Wide 50 MP, f/1.6, OIS Wide angle 50 MP, f/2.0, OIS Telephoto 50 MP, f/2.6, 3x optical zoom, 120x digital zoom 4K@60 FPS Video Dolby Vision Wide 50 MP, f/1.5, OIS Wide angle 50 MP, f/2.0, OIS Periscope 200 MP, f/2.1, 3x optical zoom, 120x digital zoom True Color Camera 4K Video@120 FPS Dolby Vision front camera 32MP, f/2.4 50MP, f/2.0 4K@60 FPS Video Dolby Vision battery 7,025mAh SuperVOOC 80W fast charging AirVOOC 50W Wireless Fast Charging 7,500 mAh SuperVOOC 80W fast charging AirVOOC 50W Wireless Fast Charging 10W reverse wireless charging operating system ColorOS 16 with Android 16 ColorOS 16 with Android 16 connectivity Wi-Fi 7 5G NSA/SA Bluetooth 5.0 NFC GPS Dual SIM eSIM USB Type C (USB 3.2) Wi-Fi 7 5G NSA/SA Bluetooth 5.0 NFC GPS Dual SIM eSIM USB Type C (USB 3.2) others Ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint reader IP66, IP68 and IP69 resistance AI Mind Space Connectivity with Apple devices Google Gemini Connected Apps Ultrasonic on-screen fingerprint reader IP66, IP68 and IP69 resistance AI Mind Space Connectivity with Apple devices Google Gemini Connected Apps steam chamber price 999 euros 1,299 euros A renewed design, although equally striking OPPO Find X9 | Image: OPPO If last year we had a huge circular module at the back and flat edges, the OPPO Find X9 returns to the origins with a rectangular module in the corner and straighter framessimilar to what we see in other smartphones. The module protrudes noticeably from the chassis, as does the new Snap Key (equivalent to the action button on iPhones and OnePlus terminals). On the right side we once again have the Quick Button to quickly launch the camera and zoom. Both devices are relatively similar in size, although the Pro model is somewhat thicker and noticeably heavier. However, the fact that the weight is around 200-220 grams and the thickness is eight millimeters is a more bearable sacrifice if we take into account the batteries of more than 7,000 mAh. All this accompanied by a resistance that leaves no loose end: IP66, IP68 and IP69. OPPO Find X9 Pro | Image: OPPO Regarding the screen, both devices incorporate ProXDR AMOLED panels about seven inches with 20:9 format. They share a large part of the technical specifications, namely resolution, maximum brightness and refresh rate, although that of the Pro model is slightly higher. While the OPPO Find OPPO has only confirmed that the Pro model is the one that has compatibility with HDR technologies, but it is expected that, although it is not expressly mentioned in the information shared with the media, the OPPO Find X9 will also have it. Another note that should be made is that, in the end, the fingerprint sensor under the screen is ultrasonicnot sonic. In short: more speed, more precision and no more needing to light up the sensor area to unlock the phone. MediaTek returns to the engine OPPO Find X9 Pro | Image: OPPO OPPO and MediaTek join hands again to sign the engine of the new OPPO Find X9. On this occasion, the SoC chosen is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500a chip made in three nanometers capable of reaching 4.21 GHz with its most powerful core. However, the most striking thing is the OPPO Trinity Engine, a system co-developed with MediaTek that, in essence, improves performance and the distribution of tasks between the CPU, GPU and DSU to optimize performance. According to OPPO, this system manages, for example, to reduce battery consumption by 16.1% during video recording by delegating tasks that would normally be done by the ISP to the processor. It also improves performance in high-stress scenarios (for example, when gaming) by up to 37%. To prevent the terminal from heating up, OPPO has implemented a vapor chamber in the Pro that is 33.7% larger than the last generation, so that it covers all critical components. OPPO Find X9 | Image: OPPO The system is accompanied by 12 gigabytes of RAM in the OPPO Find X9, a figure that rises to 16 gigabytes in the Pro model. Storage is 512 GB in both cases and it should be noted that the technologies chosen are the fastest available right now: LPPDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Another interesting aspect, … Read more

New DJI ROMO, features, price and technical sheet

by

For years, DJI has developed drones andcameras that define a good part of the sector. Now, the Chinese company lands in a very different scenario: that of robot vacuum cleaners. ROMO is the first step in a strategy that brings to the home the same precision that the company has been honing in the air for years. The movement is not surprising so much because of the technology, but because of the change in terrain. DJI leaves the sky for a moment to test if its engineering also works on the ground. Its new line is the result of a technical approach that DJI has mastered for years: obstacle detection and precise navigation. Instead of focusing on revolutionary features, the company has fine-tuned the elements it considers essential for error-free cleaning. Each model combines optical sensors and planning algorithms to cover more surface area and avoid collisions. The proposal is also supported by the DJI Home app, which adds specific modes (carpets, thresholds, pet areas) and alerts about the status of the tank or cloths. Flight technology to avoid socks and cables The ROMO detection system integrates optical sensors and LiDAR wide scope to generate detailed knowledge of the environment. DJI explains that data from both is combined using machine learning, allowing you to accurately recognize and avoid obstacles. Among the examples cited are thin cables or cards in a deck. This recognition also makes it easier to move under furniture and plan routes without blind areas. For DJI, the value of ROMO is not just in the sensors, but in how it interprets space. The company states that it has transferred part of the planning algorithms it uses in drones to these robots, with the aim of tracing more coherent routes and avoiding unnecessary movements. According to its description, the device can identify obstacles such as socks or cables and adjust its strategy without stopping. It also reduces speed when it detects loose debris. DJI’s stated suction power for the ROMO series reaches 25,000 pascals and an air flow of 20 liters per second, although the company does not specify whether these figures correspond to a specific model or the entire range. The system combines a “high-performance” motor with an internal flow-optimized design, and sensors automatically adjust the speed and movement of the side brush to prevent debris from being dispersed. According to the manufacturer, roller brushes with high-torque motors help collect hair without clogging. ROMO incorporates dual flexible arms that extend and retract based on available space, guided by real-time mapping and edge algorithms. This mechanism allows for deep cleaning along walls, corners and irregularly shaped furniture. In parallel, the mopping system has a 164 ml tank that keeps the cloths moist and adjusts the water flow when it detects stubborn stains. Sweeping always precedes scrubbing, which prevents dirt from moving before being removed. The ROMO base station is presented as an autonomous cleaning and emptying system. It combines high-pressure water jets with a 16mm chute to remove debris from cloths and a mechanism that applies 12 newtons of downward pressure to improve washing. The set is designed to operate during long periods without maintenancewith an estimated autonomy of up to 200 days. In addition, the base incorporates a sound suppression system with chambers and silencers that reduces suction noise by around 80%. All ROMO management is centralized in the DJI Home app, which includes different smart cleaning modes. These include options for rugs, thresholds or areas where pets are present, as well as the ability to customize the intensity and order of tasks. The system sends warnings when the water tanks or dust container are full and allows the robot’s activity to be monitored remotely. Access to the camera requires two-step authentication and videos are transmitted encrypted, in addition to being able to disable the video function completely. Within the range, the ROMO P incorporates a finish with transparent panels that reveal the internal structure both in the base and in the robot itself, and an additional compartment for deodorizer that can be dispensed along with the cleaning solution on the mop cloths. The ecosystem is completed with a official accessories linesuch as brushes, cloths, self-sealing bags, cleaning fluids and an auxiliary ramp. DJI does not detail other hardware differences between P, A and S. ROMO will debut in a segment where actors with solid proposals already coexist. iRobot stands out with the Roomba Max 705designed to manage pet hair. Roborock has gone one step further with the Saros Z70which incorporates an extendable robotic arm. And Dreame, with him Aqua10 Ultra Roller Completehas focused its commitment on the cleaning and maintenance of mops. DJI thus enters a category where innovation is not measured only in power, but in the ability to solve increasingly complex household tasks. Price and availability of the new DJI ROMO The ROMO series is now available through the DJI online store and authorized resellers, with shipments beginning today. The range is made up of three versions: ROMO P: from 1,899 euros ROMO A: from 1,599 euros ROMO S: from 1,299 euros. DJI has not detailed the exact hardware differences between them.

The price of chocolate is rising so much that chocolate bars are no longer legally chocolate bars.

by

Imagine for a moment that Nocilla, the famous Spanish spread, reduced the chocolate in its recipe so much that they could not use its famous ditty about “milk, cocoa, hazelnuts and sugar” without incurring fraud. Imagine the shock, the controversy, the disbelief. Well, something very similar to that. just happened in the uk and, honestly, it is a warning of the future of chocolate. What has happened? For decades, McVitie’s tried to become in the UK’s quintessential chocolate cookie: “If you like your cookies with lots of chocolate, join our club,” has been their advertising slogan all this time. But that’s over: Pladis, the parent company (one of the country’s largest producers of cookies, sweets and salty snacks), has so limited the chocolate in the recipe for its Club cookies and Penguin bars that, legally, they are no longer chocolate cookies. Now They only have a chocolate ‘flavor’. But why? The explanation is simple: cocoa prices have risen so much (especially, in 2024 and early 2025) and skyrocketing production costs. As we have been warning for months, this pressure was wreaking havoc on the world of chocolate. Manufacturers very quickly realized that they could not transfer all the increases to final prices: demand was going to be savagely reduced. The reduflation and countless other strategies to contain prices. And as both in the United Kingdom and in the European Union, the regulation requires that at least 20% of the product are “cocoa solids”crossing that line requires a change of name. And what does all this imply? Although it may seem strange, the consequences of all this in October 2025 are that although consumption falls due to price, business improves. Although chocolate is 13% more expensive today than at the beginning of the year and almost 19% more than just a year ago; the sector has been able to generate more than 80 million profit than last year. However, the future is uncertain. In a recent report, Produlce (the sector’s employers’ association) recognized that consumption fell last year (according to their calculations, by 8.6%), although spending per person increased by 5.5%. But that is something worrying: because, despite the fact that cocoa is giving some rest, the price is still double what is usual. And everything suggests that will continue to rise in the medium term.

The average price of Mb/s in each country in the world, arranged in a graph in which there is a unicorn: United Arab Emirates

by

Accessing the Internet is a necessity. In an increasingly connected world and in which we trust practically all aspects of our lives to online applicationshave a good coverage and speed It has become something essential. In fact, a server “blackout” like him recently lived with those from AWS demonstrates to what extent we depend on this connection. However, although the Internet is global, there is a huge digital divide. To the point that there are some who pay a cent per Mbps… and others exceed four euros for the same amount. The graph. With data from We Are Socialthe graph prepared by Visual Capitalist compare the price of megabit per secondor Mbps, in more than 60 countries in 2025. Before commenting on individual cases, because there are very striking ones, it must be said that the estimate is that the average price of Mbps worldwide is around 45 cents. The global average is also around 40 euros, but as we can see in the data, there are countries above and below that completely distort that average. And something important to understand is that the price of Internet responds to infrastructure and population density (it is expensive to bring broadband Internet to remote populations), but also to factors such as competition and tax policies. One question: United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates perfectly exemplifies those last two points. It almost seems incredible, but the price of Mbps in the country exceeds four euros. Data from We Are Social puts it at $4.31 per Mb/s, almost double what is paid in the next most expensive country: Ghana with its $2.58 per Mb/s. On average, an Emirati pays between 100 and 140 dollars just to have Internet, and the big question is what is happening to make that happen. The answer? Politics and competition. In the UAE there are only two companies that provide the service, so this lack of real competition means that they do not have a need to lower the price. Do you want Internet? Well, take it or leave it. Plus, there is the political part. The State forces operators to transfer up to 30% of their profits to the country’s coffers, and it is something that directly affects the price of the final bill for the consumer. The speed not bad (an average of 300 Mbps), but it is evident that the price is prohibitive for many, potentially generating the aforementioned digital divide. The Romanian secret. In it opposite side On the spectrum we have the countries of Eastern Europe, specifically in a country whose flagship company we know well in Spain: Romania and DIGI. The average prices for fiber optics in the country are around 10 euros and the price of Mb/s is just 0.01 dollars. Russia and Poland are not far behind, and what has caused this is precisely the opposite of what is happening in the UAE. After the fall of communism, dozens of private operators They began to deploy decentralized fiber optic networks. Taking advantage of community wiring in cities and building blocks, the “last mile” problem was solved, allowing Internet to be offered to a large number of people with minimal costs. It is estimated that almost 90% of Romanian homes have high-speed Internet and DIGI has exported that “policy” outside its borders, offering the longed for 10 Gbps at the price of 1 Gbps in countries like Spain. Above the dollar. Commenting on each country is a complex process because there are multiple factors that come into play, but I find it almost more interesting to see which countries are whose Mbps exceeds the dollar. In fact, these countries perfectly exemplify everything that comes into play when it comes to offering a cheap connection: Swiss: The average price is just over two dollars per Mbps due to the dominance of a single operator and the country’s salary structure: high salaries and, therefore, high maintenance costs. Kenya: averages about $1.54 per Mbps due to its poor fiber infrastructure that makes the country depend to technologies like starlink or the google balloons. Now, the competition is increasing little by little. Morocco: its $1.16 is explained by uneven infrastructure and just three companies that dominate the market. Australia: At its $1.33 per Mbps, the tremendously dispersed geography comes into play, with rural areas very far from each other. Germany: It is the one that is around a dollar per Mb/s and is not the fastest connection in Europe, far from it. In fact, it is a paradoxical situation as it is a power in Europe while having a worse cost/speed ratio than its neighbors. Reason? A large operator that dominates the sector and an old infrastructure, with many areas in which copper continues to be the trend. The Spanish situation. Within our borders, Spain has a comfortable position. There is enough competition so that prices are affordable, with an average of about 10 cents per Mb/s and 1 Gbps packages that are around 30-40 euros per month, depending on the company. Unlimited data is not uncommon on smartphones either. There are many companies that compete in a controlled and regulated environment, with obligations such as sharing infrastructure, and all of this has caused Spain to be a benchmark in the fiber deploymenteven in rural areas.

Toyota has been practically absent from the electric car. He has done so by his own decision, ensuring that his fight was in the hybrid and in a strategy that he said was based on give each market what was expected of it. But also because Toyota bZ4X It has had an almost testimonial reception. Its production has been a headache, it came with significant construction problems that led to calls for review by problems with your wheels. And the car was expensive for its autonomy, derived from very high consumption. Now, Toyota wants to remake itself and take positions. With an electric car that continues to grow in Europe and encouraged by the recent update of its first electric car that has given it a step up in sales, it arrives with an electric car that the customer seems to be asking for: contained size, commensurate price and a battery that promises good autonomy data. Technical data sheet of the Toyota C-HR+ Toyota C-HR+ Body type. Five-seater SUV. Measurements and weight. 4,520 meters long, 1,870 meters wide and 1,595 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,750 meters.

Deliveries in the first quarter of 2026: Spirit (front-wheel drive): from 36,500 euros Advance (all-wheel drive): from 44,000 euros Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? The expected electric Toyota Although we had already had a first preview of what we could expect with this Toyota C-HR+, it was not until today that all the details have been completely revealed… including its price. Aesthetically, the new Toyota C-HR+, the electric version of the SUV, does not differ much from the already known hybrid models. Of course, it grows in size until it reaches 4.52 meters in length. In width it remains at 1.87 meters and the height goes to 1.60 meters. That is, it grows about 16 centimeters in length and 5 centimeters in height but maintains its width. The battle takes advantage of the fact that the car is stretched and goes to 2.75 meters of wheelbase, 11 centimeters more so the interior size should grow obviously. It continues to use the e-TNGA platform like the Toyota bZ4X but being smaller it places a 77 kWh battery (72 kWh useful) that is combined with two motors. The front-wheel drive model has a single motor with 165 kW (224 HP) and will offer a range of “up to 609 kilometers.” The approved consumption (pending confirmation) Toyota anticipates will be 13.8 kWh/100 km. The all-wheel drive option mounts two motors (one on the rear axle) and together they combine 252 kW (343 HP). In this case, the autonomy will be “up to 500 kilometers.” In this case, the expected consumption is 15.4 kWh/100 km. What does this mean in terms of highway data? In the absence of testing it and checking whether Toyota has improved the efficiency of its electric motors, the aforementioned consumptions indicate runs of more than 400 kilometers without recharging for the single-motor version and around 350 kilometers for the two-motor version. Regarding its charging power, the car can be charged in direct current at a maximum of 150 kW (the brand promises to be able to go from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes) and in alternating current at 11 kW in the single motor version and 22 kW if we talk about the double motor option. Once inside the car, behind the steering wheel there is a seven-inch instrument panel and is accompanied by a 14 inch central screencompatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The top version includes an 800W JBL sound system with a nine-inch subwoofer and eight speakers. As for driving aids, the car comes from the start with Toyota Safety Sense that includes blind spot detector, automatic light control, emergency braking and parking sensors. If you opt for the higher version, front cross traffic alert, lane change assistant and 360º camera are added. In addition, an alert warning is incorporated when opening the doors, whose handles light up red if the presence of an approaching car is detected. Regarding availability, the first units will arrive in the first quarter of 2026 and can be obtained with the following prices before applying the aid from the MOVES III Plan: Toyota C-HR+ Advance 165 kW (224 HP): from 36,500 euros Toyota C-HR+ Spirit 252 kW (343 HP): from 44,000 euros Photos | toyota In Xataka | While half the world doubts the electric car, Toyota smiles: it is achieving the best results in its history

Samsung has just launched its long-awaited rival for Apple Vision Pro. Your new mixed reality glasses are the Samsung Galaxy XRand certainly its benefits are promising. We have a device that does practically everything that the Vision Pro does, but that also does it by opening a new alternative with the Android XR operating system. Not only that: they have achieved it with a lighter design and, above all, with a price that is half that of the Vision Pro. We already tested them at Google I/O a few months agobut finally we have them with us officially. Let’s get to know them in depth. Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy XR Samsung Galaxy xr Screens 3,552 x 3,840 Micro-OLED displays, 27 million pixels, 95% DCI-P3 60, 72 and up to 90 Hz refresh rates FOV: 109º (horizontal) / 100º (vertical) SoC Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 Platform Memory 16 GB Storage 256GB Camera Supports 3D (spatial) photo and video capture 6.5MP, 18mm, f/2.0 Sensors Two high-resolution cameras for pass-through Six cameras that capture the exterior Four cameras that capture the eye Five Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) depth sensor Flicker sensor Audio and video Two two-way speakers (woofer + tweeter) Six-microphone array Support Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos Support 5K Video at 60 FPS, HDR10, HLG Battery Up to 2 hours of general use Up to 2.5 hours of video playback The glasses can be used while the battery is recharging Connectivity Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 Biometrics Iris recognition support for unlocking the device and entering passwords pupillary distance 54-70mm Prescription lenses can be purchased separately Weight 545g (with pads) External battery: 302g Price $1,799 Light, promising… and much cheaper The first thing that surprises about the Samsung Galaxy XR is its weight, which is reduced to 545 grams compared to 800 grams of the Apple Vision Pro (2025) with band included. Samsung’s intention here is evident: to ensure that we can use the glasses for prolonged periods without ending up with any discomfort or those marks around the eyes that the Vision Pro usually leave when used for long sessions. The design of the glasses is similar to that offered by the Apple model, but here we have a kind of “visor”, a pad on the top of the glasses that allows us to barely receive any light from the outside as soon as we put them on. The Samsung Galaxy XR look like somewhat bulkier ski goggles: the front is dominated by glassand behind it you can see several cameras that capture both what surrounds us and the gestures we make with our hands. Inside it has micro-OLED screens that support 4K resolutions at 90 Hz but also allow you to enjoy 8K video at 60 FPS. There are no specific details about the battery capacity, but Samsung promises that in general use it can last two hours and When playing video, this autonomy is extended to a maximum of two and a half hours. The limitation here is similar to that of the Vision Pro, although like them, the Samsung Galaxy XR can be used with the external battery (which weighs 302 grams, slightly more than a large mobile phone) connected. There is another important element in this design: the strap with which we adjust the glasses cannot be separated from the glasses: it is a light plastic band with a padded back and a dial that allows you to adjust it firmly at the head. This seems to be one of the sections in which Samsung has preferred to make sacrifices: the Apple bands are interchangeable and the materials are more advanced, but in the Galaxy XR the objective was to simplify that section and, we suppose, reduce costs. In fact, the price is one of the most powerful arguments of this device: while the Apple Vision Pro costs $3,499, The Samsung Galaxy XR costs $1,799. Practically half the price for a product that promises to do the same thing with the same quality as its rival. If it lives up to that promise, we are looking at a particularly attractive product. A user experience modeled on visionOS… but with Gemini Once we have them on, we can expect a user experience practically identical to that offered by the Vision Pro. To begin with, the cameras allow us to capture the outside and make we can see it at all times thanks to the passthrough which promises to be remarkable although not perfect: we will see everything around us, but there are still differences with seeing that exterior with our own eyes. As in Apple’s glasses, Android XR and the eye-tracking cameras inside the Galaxy The appearance of this interface is that of Android XR, but with a design and interaction that once again They are basically the same as what Apple proposed with visionOS. Samsung promises immersive environments, spatial photos – there is also the option to convert 2D photos into spatial photos – and the ability to connect to a PC or laptop to use the glasses as an external monitor on which to open several windows. However, a potential advantage of these glasses that on Android XR we have the power of Gemini. The executives of Samsung and Google stressed in a conversation with the media that this device had “AI at its core” in reference to the ability to use Gemini to interact with the Galaxy XR. This means that, for example, if we read a physical magazine with glasses on (thanks to passhtrough) we can use the “Circle to search” function at any time to obtain more information about a certain part of the text or an image. If we see an immersive 3D map in Google Maps, we can ask Gemini things about that area. And if we watch a YouTube video, we can open a Gemini Live session, share our screen with the AI ​​and ask questions about what we’re watching because Gemini “will see what we … Read more

We know that the price of housing in the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands is skyrocketing because neither the British nor the Germans can afford it.

by

The price of housing in highly stressed tourist areas, such as the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands, has reached levels so high that neither the British nor the Germans, traditionally the most active foreign buyers and wealthy people on the islands, can afford to continue acquiring properties at the rate of previous years. As and how they collected in Express this trend well supported by the latest data of the General Council of Notaries, in which a very relevant change can be seen in the Spanish real estate market, especially on the islands, where international demand has always been noted as part of the problem. Fewer houses are sold. According to the log data Notaries, during the first half of 2025, the Balearic and Canary Islands have experienced a real turnaround in the home buying and selling market. The percentage of home sales by foreigners fell by 7.7% in the Canary Islands and 6.8% in the Balearic Islands during the first half of 2025. In the same period, only two territories showed a behavior similar to the islands: Valencia, which fell by 3.6% and Navarra, which reduced the number of purchase and sale operations with foreigners by 3.7%. The reason: too expensive housing. It is enough to continue reviewing the data provided by the College of Notaries to find one of the reasons that could have caused this. drop in trading volume: prices have skyrocketed. The figures show how the traditional appeal for British and German buyers is declining. The data reveal that the average price paid by foreigners in purchase and sale operations in Spain as a whole was 2,417 euros per square meter, which represents an increase of 7.6% compared to the price in 2024. Non-resident foreigners continue to pay higher amounts for their homes (€3,126/m2) than resident foreigners (€1,912/m2) and nationals (1,809 €/m2). In the Canary Islands the average price rose by 14.1%, far exceeding the national average, while in the Balearic Islands the average increase was up to 9% compared to 2024. Source: General Council of Notaries Foreigners continue buying in Spain. The data indicate that the volume of foreign sales operations in Spain has not decreased in the territory as a whole, where the total number of homes bought by foreigners increased 2% compared to last year, reaching 71,155 operations. This variation in the volume of operations on the islands, together with the increase in their price, leads us to suspect that price pressure is differentially affecting the most touristic and stressed areas, especially those that, as in the case of the islandsthe options to expand the surface area for residential housing are very limited. That is to say, it is not that foreigners are buying less, but that they are doing so in less tense and with more reasonable prices. Who buys in Spain? Despite the drop in sales from the islands, the British continue to lead the list of foreign buyers in Spain, with 5,731 registered transactions, followed by Moroccans (5,654 transactions) and Germans (4,756 purchases and sales). However, operations carried out by foreigners represented 19.3% of total sales, a slightly lower proportion than that registered in 2024 with 20.3%. This loss of prominence is felt above all in the islands, where the British and Germans clearly dominated the statistics. The end of the “Golden Visa”. Besides, the advertisement of the elimination of the so-called golden visas or “Golden Visa”“, which allowed you to obtain residency in Spain in exchange for investing a certain amount of money in real estate, has also conditioned the decline in demand. In the first six months of 2025, foreign residents accounted for 60.9% of the purchases made, which represents 6.4% more than the previous year. On the other hand, non-resident foreigners who were affected by the elimination of the ‘Golden Visa’ and had to assume new tax limits, they reduced their purchases by 4.1%.

The fight between Ouigo and Renfe goes far beyond the price war. The last battlefield: the workshops

by

Beyond the corridors and the prices proposed by the different companies, the battle between Ouigo and Renfe seems to have no limits. Competitors in Spanish high speed are intensifying their crashes. The last: the use of workshops. But the last crash is by no means the only one. The workshops. The information is brought Chain Being. The media outlet claims to have had access to internal documents in which Renfe accuses Ouigo of carrying out maintenance operations that exceed the marked limits. From Chain Being They point out that Renfe understands that Ouigo is carrying out work that is not permitted in space. The Spanish company understands that the type of repairs carried out there are contrary to the signed agreements and current regulations. It must be taken into account that, for its maintenance operations, Ouigo uses Renfe workshops under a rental contract. However, the contract does not allow any type of activity to be carried out there. Heavy or light. That is, according to the media, the key. Renfe understands that Ouigo is carrying out heavy maintenance work at its facilities, which is not supposed to be allowed. According to the Railway Sector Law, Renfe is obliged to allow access to its facilities (even if it charges for it) so that other companies can carry out light maintenance such as cleaning the vehicles or minor repairs. Renfe assures that the Alstom-Ateinsa workers, whom Ouigo hires to carry out this maintenance, are carrying out heavy maintenance tasks such as replacing parts, fixing breakdowns or changing wiring, always depending on the medium. This contravenes the signed agreements since Renfe would not be obliged to provide said service in its facilities. But, yes, the problem is that the regulations do not clearly specify what is or is not “heavy maintenance.” The problem is that everything is a gray area. The Directive 2012/34/EU on the single railway space, all non-routine activities are classified as heavy maintenance. However the standard EN 15380-4:2021 understands that heavy maintenance will only be understood if parts of the train have to be dismantled. Viability. In Xataka We have contacted both companies but, so far, we have not received a response. What they point out in the radio is that Ouigo assures that denying them access to the workshops would imply that they would not be able to provide the service adequately and, therefore, their two-year viability plan would be at risk. Ouigo points out that they are only doing work on “greasing and controlling levels, leaks and temperatures in the pit”, in words that would be included in the documents. For Renfe this exceeds light maintenance but Ouigo defends that they are within the regulations. The alternative presented by Renfe, according to the documentation, is that Ouigo carries out these actions in its workshops but pays for them accordingly, hiring auxiliary services to be able to carry them out. Beyond the tracks. What is at stake between Ouigo and Renfe goes beyond the typical price war that we see on the roads and corridors. Both companies have clashed over the prices offered by each other but also over the access that Renfe has to the most central stationslike that of Atocha. And not only in Spain. Renfe has tried to return the move in France but has been complaining for some time that there land they are putting all possible suits on the wheels to prevent them from competing on French soil. On this occasion, the problem would lie in Renfe’s technical compliance to be able to operate on French roads.
