“Accommodations are uploaded with stolen or AI photographs and an eye-catching price”

by

You are looking for a hotel for your vacation and you come across the perfect ad: well located, with everything you are looking for and at an incredible price. However, shortly after the bubble burst: The accommodation does not exist and you have been scammed. It’s not fiction, it’s what many travelers find on their vacations. It’s called a ‘ghost vacation rental’ and In summer the risk of suffering from it increases. Scammers know well what people are looking for on platforms like Booking or Airbnb and create ads to attract our attention: “their accommodations usually meet exactly what you are looking for, but at a much better price,” says Jordi Nebot, CEO of Paynopaina Spanish fintech specialized in payment solutions. Additionally, they often use “stolen or AI photos” that make the ads look more credible. Anatomy of the vacation rental thymus Once they get our interest, what follows is the psychological pressure. Scammers “always try to introduce that sense of urgency to put the victim in a dilemma”, such as “a message from the owner telling you ‘I only have one room left, make the reservation now or you will be left with nothing’”. They play with the card of high demand, because yes, “the scams change depending on the season. In summer they get very busy with the vacation theme,” says Jordi. “A message from the owner telling you ‘I only have one room left, make the reservation now or you’ll be left with nothing’” The next step is the one that should set off all the alarms: “They will usually tell you to leave the platform.” The excuse they usually give is that They can give us a much better pricebut this is where we can have real problems because “they look for ways to make you pay by some means by which you lose the dispute protection that the most common payment methods have (…) a transfer, PayPal or Bizum, are payment methods in which once you have sent the money, the only way you have to recover it is to take the person you have spoken to to court.” chow to spot a fake ad The first clue is the price. An offer well below the area average is not definitive proof, but it is the first warning sign. The second, much more reliable, is the lack of history: “scams have very short legs. Normally the platforms eliminate the ad within a few days.” That is, if someone reports it, Booking or Airbnb will take it down quickly. That’s why heFraudulent ads almost never accumulate reviews or age. “Look for that accommodation and see if it has networks, if it has opinions on Trustpilot or on any specialized blog” A real accommodation leaves more traces outside the platforms, like “a website, a telephone, a location that you can find on Google Maps.” If you have doubts about the legitimacy of an ad, it is best to “look for that accommodation and see if it has networks, if it has opinions on Trustpilot or on any specialized blog.” If you are still hesitating, Jordi’s advice is blunt: “choose another one, don’t risk it.” What to do if you have already fallen in a scam If you have paid within the platform, you are in luck because “you already have coverage with the platform itself.” Just report it to Booking or Airbnb to make the refund. If you have paid outside the platform, the steps to follow will depend on the payment method you used. If you paid by card, your bank also offers you protection. In this case you will have to file a report with the police and take it to the bank to file a dispute. It is normally resolved in a few days, although it can take up to 45, but it is a standardized process that is usually resolved without further setbacks: “It has to be very bad for you to have been a victim of a scam and not get your money back,” says Jordi. “You’re going to have to go to the police to report it and the only way to recover it is going to be through the courts.” The scenario changes completely if you paid by transfer or another means such as Bizum or PayPal: “You will have to go to the police to report it and the only way to recover it will be through judicial means.” In your experience, it is usually a lost battle: “everything ends up in court and today that is a big problem, because for certain amounts it doesn’t even pay to fight.” Image | Oberon Copeland @veryinformed.com in Unsplash In Xataka | Booking active reservation scam: how it works and how to prevent them from stealing your money thinking that they will cancel a reservation

Vivo started an adventure a few weeks ago: that of launching its first global wearable. He Vivo Watch GT 2 It is the first smart watch that the firm, which has experience in this field, launches in our borders. Your proposal? A relatively low price, fair and necessary functions for everyday life, a huge screen and an absurd battery. After two weeks wearing it on my wrist, this has been my experience. ✅ Buy it if… You don’t want to have to worry about charging the watch. You want a screen that looks exceptionally good. You are looking for a watch that offers the basics: health, notifications, calls, etc. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You absolutely need to pay with your mobile. You want to access third-party applications. You want the watch to be part of a larger connected ecosystem. The essentials in 30 seconds The Vivo Watch GT 2 is an affordable smartwatch, well built and with just what is necessary to satisfy the user looking for just that: a simple clock. It works well, the screen is huge, the battery is amazing and, although it is not a watch loaded with functions and options, it does its job. It is the living definition of a 100-something euro watch. In this price range there are many proposals, but few offer a screen this large and of this quality with an autonomy that safely exceeds two weeks. And it has a simple paddle mode that, without being a panacea, is more useful than 99% of the smart watches I have tried in my life. Now, the reality is that it is: it does not offer anywhere near the versatility of a watch with Wear OS or watchOS. It does not have an eSIM, it does not have a voice assistant, it is not integrated into a home automation ecosystem, it does not have mobile payments, it does not have third-party apps or maps… It is, as I said, a watch for the basics. 8.4 Design 8.0 Screen 9.5 Software 7.0 Battery 9.7 Interface 8.0 in favor Despite being large, it is quite comfortable. The screen looks outrageous. It has one of the best batteries I’ve ever tested in a smartwatch. against It lacks a catalog of third-party applications that allows expanding functions. It does not have mobile payments. It does not have a virtual assistant nor is it integrated with an ecosystem of products beyond mobile. Vivo Watch GT2 Smart Watch with 25-day battery, Bluetooth Calls, Paddle and Tennis Pro Modes, NFC Access Cards, more than 100 Sports Modes, 2.07″ Screen, GPS The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Vivo Watch GT 2 Vivo Watch GT 2 | Image: Xataka It’s huge. And to your question, yes, it is identical to the Apple Watch. It is not a small watch and it is certainly not designed for small wrists. It is well finished, it is very comfortable and very light. The screen, at more than two inches, looks great in broad daylight and responds well to gestures. Zero complaints here, it is one of the best screens I have tried on a watch. The strap is proprietary, so it can only be exchanged for other straps that use the same coupling. In other words, you can’t use just any 20 or 22 millimeter strap. The operating system. It’s called Blue OS, but it’s really a custom RTOS. That is, there is no store with which to access third-party apps. Luckily, the system comes armed with everything you need to use it, a good assortment of covers and, something I’ve never seen before, pre-installed games. Bloatware, wow. Luckily, they can be uninstalled. In any case, I haven’t missed any more apps for everyday life except, perhaps, a map app. One thing I can’t help but mention is that the “Do Not Disturb” mode does not stop the screen from turning on when you make the gesture of looking at the time, something that I think is very important when wearing it at night. What is fair and necessary. Everything works well and the expected options are there: you can make and answer calls via Bluetooth (it does not have eSIM), read notifications (and respond to them with default responses), and record heart rate, stress, sleep, SpO2, and cycle. The measurements are correct, but they are sometimes overly optimistic. It is noticeable, for example, in the step log. In terms of compatibility, the watch can be used with iOS and Android, so it’s hardware agnostic in that sense. Vivo Watch GT 2 | Image: Xataka The miracle was almost done. There must be someone in Vivo who has read Xataka’s analysis, because the watch has a paddle mode. And not a padel mode that measures pulses and that’s it, but rather it measures whether the blow is forehand or backhand, quantity and speed throughout the match. It is not as complete as that of Mibro GS 2 Probut it is more useful than the average report of most watches. The downside would have been to have more real-time information on the shots and to better detect volleys, lobs, shots and layups, but hey, it’s a step. It also works for tennis and more than 100 sports. The accuracy of the metrics is acceptable, although there is a certain upward trend in heart rate and calories burned. GPS also records the routes followed with relative precision. And this battery? I’ve been wearing the watch all day for two weeks and it still has 10% left. I think that pretty well defines one of the benefits of this watch. The battery is not a problem nor is charging, which is completed in just over two hours.

Nothing returns to its old ways with new headphones, the Nothing Ear (3a). With a price of 99 euros, the headphones seek to compete in, probably, most saturated segment of the audio world. After having tried them, it is clear to me that they go straight to my list of products to recommend when someone asks me for advice. ✅ Buy them if… You have a tight budget of less than 100 euros. You want headphones with personality. You are looking for headphones that you can connect to several devices at the same time. ❌ Don’t buy them if… You want the best noise cancellation and transparency mode. Wireless charging is an essential requirement. You value high definition, although this applies to any TWS headphones. The essentials in 30 seconds The Nothing Ear (3a) are Nothing’s new mid-range headphones. They do not seek to be the reference TWS headphones, but rather to offer a solid alternative for less than 100 euros with three key pillars: design, sound and connectivity. They do not reinvent the wheel nor do they need to, since they work well and fulfill their purpose, which is what they have to do. Do they have the best sound? No. The best noise cancellation? No, but they cost what they cost and, for that money, you can say that they work very well. In addition, they are headphones with a lot of personalitydifferent from all those in this saturated market, so, at the same price, at least these put an eye-catching proposal on the table. One of its differential values ​​is Audio Snapshot, a function that allows you to record what is playing and transcribe it to revisit it later. Its practical usefulness on a day-to-day basis is questionable, but well tuned it could be a useful feature for those of us who, like yours truly, tend to think out loud and keep ideas in notes. 8.8 Design 9.3 Sound quality 8.6 noise cancellation 8.2 Ergonomics 9.0 Usage experience 8.7 Battery 9.2 in favor They have a lot of personality and are different from other headphones on the market. The sound quality is great for costing 100 euros. The multipoint connection is always a success. against The microphone sounds with some echo on calls. They do not have wireless charging. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Nothing Ear (3a) Nothing Ear (3a) | Image: Xataka How nice it is to be surprised. In a world where technology has become boring, Nothing products are a breath of fresh air. Not only because they are transparent and, in my case, yellow, but because they have personality. The case is one of the coolest I’ve seen in a long time (LEDs included) and the headphones, colors aside, are comfortable, light, and don’t fall out while moving. I have zero complaints in this regard. Good in sound. For 100 euro headphones, the Nothing Ear (3a) sound really good. They have been quite a surprise, in fact. The sound comes out clean, the bass is quite punchy and the treble is kept at bay, although when there are sudden changes you can see that the headphones are missing a bit. Nothing serious and we will notice it only if we know what we are looking for. For day to day they go like a shot. The noise cancellation is adequate and sufficient for mundane noises, such as the air conditioning or the hustle and bustle of the street, but it is not close to the best in this segment. The transparency mode is correct, but again, without highlighting; and during calls there is a certain echo in the microphones. Nothing Ear (3a) | Image: Xataka Audio Snapshot. One of the novelties that these headphones bring is the possibility of recording audio fragments of what is playing, storing them in their 32 MB capacity and transcribing them with AI (free and locally, although the most powerful model is paid and online). The idea is good, but I would have liked it if, instead of recording just a piece of a podcast or an audiobook, I could do it at the same time with my voice, so that I could record a reflection out loud or an idea that comes to me suddenly, and transcribe it. In theory, the headphones offer the possibility of recording and transcribing calls, but this function will not reach Spain, at least in the first phase. The minipoint of connectivity. Spending 99 euros is no small feat, especially now, which is why it is appreciated that we can use the headphones with several devices at the same time thanks to the multipoint connection. Being able to have them connected via Bluetooth 6.0 to the Steam Deck and to the mobile phone or the tablet and switching from one to the other interchangeably is fabulous, even more so in these price ranges. Not to mention that they are fully compatible with iOS and Android. Battery to get through the day without problem. The headphones deliver what they promise: around six hours of autonomy with noise cancellation activated, which rises to about a full day if we take into account the charging of the case. Charging is via USB type C, no wireless charging, something that, on the other hand, is to be expected.

At the beginning of this year, and with the crisis of mobile components and prices looming, Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, commented that it was not necessary launch a new high-end mobile every year. He didn’t say anything about the mid-range ones and, after the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro a few months ago, it is time to discover all the details and features of the Nothing Phone (4b). Next, we go with the company’s new mobile phone that has arguments to convince anyone who needs a mid-range mobile phone, but which is an example of the impact of the current component crisis. Technical data sheet of the Nothing Phone (4b) nothing Phone (4b) SCREEN 6.77-inch Super AMOLED panel Resolution of 2,344 x 1,080 pixels 381 dpi density Refresh up to 120 Hz 480Hz PWM 2,000 nits peak brightness Highlight brightness of 1,200 nits Typical brightness of 600 nits DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 164.4 x 78.2 x 8.6mm 210 grams PROCESSOR Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 RAM 8GB LPDDR4x STORAGE 128 or 256 GB UFS 2.2 FRONT CAMERA 16 Mpx, f/2.4 REAR CAMERAS Main 50 Mpx f/1.8, OIS 8 Mpx f/2.2 wide angle BATTERY 5,200 mAh 33W charging 7.5W wired reverse charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 16 CONNECTIVITY 5G NFC Bluetooth 6.0 Wi-Fi 6 GPS, CALILEO, GLONASS, BDS, QZSS OTHERS IP64Glyph Bar PRICE From 326 euros Very Nothing design with a bit of iPhone 17 Pro Where the crisis does not impact is in the design and, as the company is accustomed to, the Phone (4b) boasts very particular lines. The new terminal is a mix between the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. For example, it has the unibody design of the second, as well as the LED Glyph interface at the top of the back to notify of notifications, battery or general status of the mobile of the first. It has an even more marked industrial design than its generation brothers, with interesting elements such as a camera module that is reminiscent of the iPhone 17 Pro, but is covered by a completely transparent polymer. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person, although we’ll have to see how it stands the test of time with everyday micro-scratches. Regarding durability, the mobile phone has IP64 certification, so it is resistant to dust and splashes of water and, although this has not been confirmed in the analysis, the side buttons seem to be located at an ideal height for the thumb. It has volume and blocking ones on the right side and an extra one on the left. If we move on to the front, we have a Samsung flat screen, a Super AMOLED panel that makes good use of the front, which has the typical notch for the front camera in the central part. The panel is 6.77 inches, so we are not talking about a compact one, and the pixel density is 381 for a total resolution of 2,344 x 1,080 pixels. It has adaptive refresh rate of up to 1,200 Hz, peak brightness of 2,000 nits, but a more realistic HBM brightness of 1,200 nits and the PWM stays at 480 Hz. It is not too much, but in the end we are talking about an entry-level mobile in the mid-range. Qualcomm interior with a very personalized Android 16 Inside we see curious decisions, and it is here where we see that the power/price relationship is marked by the component crisis that is currently destroying the market. Nothing is betting on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, although they claim that it has similar performance to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 of the Phone (4a). Maybe they’re going to take it further than it could thanks to a 4,400 mm2 vapor chamber that they say keeps the device a couple of degrees cooler during demanding tasks, reducing performance loss caused by heat. Come on, thanks to better dissipation, they can keep a modest chip “at full” for longer. If we look at the RAM and storage, we have the same as in the Nothing 3: 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM with 128 and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It’s not the fastest, but We already know how the patio isunfortunately. And the battery in Europe has 5,200 mAh, a capacity that promises a lot with a low-consumption SoC like that Snapdragon. The charge is 33 W and has 7.5 W wired reverse charging, interesting for headphones. And regarding the system, Android 16 with Nothing 4.1 above with all the animations, aesthetic section and functions of the brand. The most interesting thing is that they point to three years of Android updates and six years of security patches. Double camera without surprises In the photographic section, this camera module concentrates a main camera signed by Samsung with a 50 megapixel sensor with a size of 1/2.76″, f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization. The accompanying camera is an 8 megapixel wide angle in a 1/4 inch sensor with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, 16 megapixels f/2.2 and maximum video functions at 4K 30 frames per second with the possibility of reaching 1,080p and 120 frames per second to make slow motion. According to Nothing, the system adds a series of algorithms to optimize portraits. Nothing Phone 4(b) launch and price Given the features, it’s time to talk about the price of the Nothing Phone (4b). In the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the price is 329 euros. It is the same one that he already had Telephone (3a) with better features, but as we have already mentioned, the situation is… what it is. What is clear is that, in the sections in which Nothing can continue pushing, which is that design so pampered even in mid-range devices, they nail it.

The price of apartments in Madrid is so sky-high that it is cheaper to buy an island in Scotland

by

The island that you see on these lines on the left belongs to the Summer Isles archipelago, it is on the northwest coast of Scotland and it can be yours: a 35.9 hectare piece of land located in the heart of the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, with caves, beaches, cliffs, a fully equipped cabin and even a jetty. Luxury. Buying an island is not something that most of us can do on paper. Or yes: it costs less than the average price of a 90 square meter apartment in Madrid, According to Tinsa data, one of the large multinational appraisal companies. The idea is no longer so crazy because if you can afford an apartment in Madrid, you can afford an island where Christ lost his lighter. The accounts don’t come out. The island of Mullagrach, as it is called, is available for bidding at the modest price of 350,000 pounds sterling, about 406,000 euros. And according to Tinsa, the average price of housing (new and used) reached an average value of 4,605 ​​euros per square meter in the first quarter of 2026. And rising: 18.07% annually, that’s nothing. That average value for a small apartment in Madrid is 414,481 euros. Idealista has fresher data and even more dizzyingly high: 5,984 euros per square meter in May 2026, so a 70 square meter apartment would cost 418,000 euros. Madrid is not alone: Tinsa has a map where you can choose provincial capitals, provinces and autonomous communities. Taking as a basis those approximately 400,000 euros and that area of ​​90 square meters, the reality is that it would also be better for you to buy that Scottish island than an apartment in Donosti or Barcelona. Average house price in the first quarter of 2026. Tinsa Why is it important. Beyond the joke of the island, because an acquisition like this has its substance and its fine print, the comparison is powerful to highlight once again the runaway price of housing both in purchase like for rentconcentrated especially in large nuclei. When buying a remote island is better than a medium-sized urban apartment, it becomes clear that there is a structural problem in large cities like Madrid, Barcelona, ​​London, Lisbon, Amsterdam: people who work there but cannot afford to live there. A reminder: the average salary in Spain was 29,540.26 euros per worker in 2024. To meet the 30% you need to undertake the purchase with a mortgage, you would need to allocate your salary in full for more than four years. Yes, you can buy an affordable apartment in Villaconejos del Caudillo, but your job is not there. And the offer of basic services in towns, after decades of depopulation and concentration in large cities, leaves a lot to be desired. The agglomeration economy At its best: the value of land depends not so much on its size or how fertile it is, but on its location relative to employment, services and transport networks. Context. The increase in housing prices in Madrid is neither new nor random: it has its explanation in a strong imbalance between supply and demand of a basic necessity common to the majority of large European cities, which concentrate more and more population and employment, while rural areas become empty, as confirmed by the OECD. The result? Urban housing is rising in price because many people want it and there is not enough housing available, nor is there public housing nor is there regulation. On the other side of the coin, rural land is stagnating or declining because fewer and fewer people want to live there. The island for sale is a good example: it is isolated and lacks basic services nearby. In fact, the offer is not rare: according to Fotocasa You can have your own island from 320,000 euros, although without construction. In detail. There are several economic mechanisms that explain this price gap between the Scottish island and the Madrid apartment. To begin with, the elasticity of supply: in a large city there is the space that there is and a series of restrictions (heights, assets, etc.) that do not exist or apply to a lesser extent on remote rural land. Demand is also different: you need to live close to your work, so the need for urban demand is inelastic. The demand for remote islands is a luxury good with a small interested base. Yes, but. Thus, the comparison between an island and an apartment is juicy enough to pass up, but in practice having an island implies a series of hidden costs that are not within everyone’s reach. And we are not talking about something as simple as not being able to get a mortgage: you have to get there by boat or helicopter, there is no doctor or supermarkets, there is no infrastructure, services and even coverage can be a problem. And if you regret it, let’s see how you find a buyer to get rid of it.

Honor Watch 6, analysis – Review with features, price and specifications

by

I think I have hit the ceiling when it comes to the battery of a smartwatch: I have not tested any with greater autonomy than the Honor Watch 6. This is already a merit, but it is not the only thing: I had not tried a watch from the brand for a while and it has just become one of my future favorites to wear on my wrist. I liked it a lot. And, despite what I missed, I won’t have a hard time recommending it. After 14 days testing the new Honor watch, this has been my experience The last thing you want is to worry about the battery. You are looking for a quality sports watch at a price that is not exaggerated. You want continuous health monitoring without draining your battery. You are looking for an operating system to install applications on. You want to pay with the watch: I couldn’t use payments. You need a smartwatch with eSIM. The essentials in 30 seconds It is a large watch, somewhat heavy and with a 100% sporty appearance. You have it in stainless steel (brown) and aluminum (black). In both the hardware is identical, as well as the touch and finishes: it exudes premium essence. Although that is not what stands out the most: The Honor Watch 6 lasts more than four weeks on a charge. With a sports record at a very good level, sensors that measure general health and that send the data to an easy-to-read application. I found it to be a smartwatch that is a couple of steps away from becoming a blind choice: it lacks mobile payments (Honor includes support for Fidesmat the moment it does not work) and be able to install applications. You stay with what comes from the factory. It is more than enough if you are an amateur athlete, but it cannot replace the telephone. It receives and makes calls, yes, but it cannot respond to messages, even with text templates. It also cannot work in standalone mode. It is very precise in the exercise, covers some sports in an expanded way (such as soccer) and even includes a voice coach (only in English). The Honor Watch 6 is a watch that you don’t worry about, in exchange for suffering shortcomings if you come from a complete operating system, such as Wear OS or WatchOS. 9.0 Design 9.5 Screen 9.0 Software 8.2 Battery 9.7 Interface 8.5 in favor Battery that never runs out. A high-level sports meter. Excellent construction. against Payments are not available. Little independence from the telephone. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Honor Watch 6 A smartwatch with a certain bracelet inclination. Honor equips the Watch 6 with its own system. It is functional and fast, it is enough and more than enough to measure the sport, send notifications and interact at a basic level with the mobile. You can call from your wrist, not reply to messages. It also does not allow you to install third-party applications or spheres. Of course, it comes with the best collection of “watchfaces” that I have seen on a watch of its type. All free, good here. It looks wonderful. The screen is large, as is the watch. I have had no problems seeing it even while playing sports under the June sun. The interface makes it easy to interact with all the apps and services, it has a flashlight and a collection of very well finished widgets. Quality is appreciated in all aspects of the watch: from the exterior design to the interface navigation. If you have used a smartwatch you will not miss out on the Honor Watch 6. Did someone say variety of sports? Up to 120 practical time clock. The GPS measures routes outside (it is fast and sufficiently accurate), the races have a somewhat heavy trainer that can be deactivated (too bad it only has English), there are unusual exercises (there is paddle tennis, but not the mountain bike) and Honor specializes in practices such as soccer. The clock knows how to return in case you get lost in the mountains. It’s not a medical watch, but it comes close. With its quotes, since it is not certified as a health device. Even so, it measures the usual variables and is capable of doing a body analysis to know the general physical condition. Heart rate measurement is acceptable, although it presents some difficulty in recording rhythm changes at high heart rates. It measures the lactate threshold and can even provide an age estimate based on the recorded exercise. He told me that I am eight years younger, for that reason alone the review has already been worth it. The jewel in the crown: autonomy. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to charging my watch and forgetting about it until the next month. In fact, I haven’t even charged it twice during my analysis: once was enough (approximately an hour and a half of charging). It should last just over four weeks with average use, daily sports recording and even outdoor training with GPS (according to the records I obtained during my test). I haven’t spent even 1% per hour on the race. With screen on, trainer and all sensors running. The closest I’ve ever come to giving a watch a ten.

the price of goodbye to a symbol

by

Telefónica has closed the terms of the sale of its former headquarters in Madrid, the iconic building on Gran Vía 28, to the Cartagena developer Tomás Olivo for around 200 million euros, as announced Digital Economy. The operation could be formalized in August. The panoramic. The Ignacio de Cárdenas building, inaugurated in 1929 and protected with the highest heritage level in Madrid, no longer belongs to the company that gave it its name. Telefónica gives up waiting for an urban reclassification that could have triggered the price, preferring to close the operation now with Olivo, the second largest shareholder of Unicaja and owner of shopping centers such as La Cañada or Nevada Shopping. In detail. The agreement includes a clause that benefits both parties depending on how the municipal file evolves: If the Madrid City Council authorizes a change of use of the property (from residential to residential, commercial or hotel), the final price could rise between 40 and 50 million more, via premium in favor of Telefónica. If this reclassification does not arrive, Olivo is left with a historical asset that can “only” be used for cultural or educational uses, the only ones allowed by the current General Urban Planning Plan. The regulatory risk, before Telefónica, now passes into the hands of the buyer. Why is it important. The sale confirms the pattern that defines Marc Murtra’s management since he became president in January 2025: divest assets that do not contribute to the telecommunications business. No matter how symbolic they are. Before the Gran Vía 28 building, Telefónica It has already sold its subsidiaries in almost all of Latin America: Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia, and only Venezuela remains pending. It is expected to be resolved before the year ends. The context. The sale of the historic building is not an isolated movement. Just a few weeks ago, Murtra rented more than 40,000 square meters of the Las Tablas headquartersempty after successive employment regulation files and voluntary resignation plans that have been reducing the workforce. José María Álvarez-Pallete, his predecessor, had avoided touching both buildings due to their symbolic value, despite internal complaints about excessive teleworking and the consequent underuse of space. Yes, but. Selling offices and subsidiaries reduces debt and frees up cash, but it does not by itself solve Telefónica’s underlying problem: a telecom company competes in a sector where the margin has moved towards whoever controls the software and data, not towards whoever lays cables and antennas. Lightening the balance sheet can buy time, but it cannot buy differentiation. The contrast. Tomás Olivo, with a real estate asset that exceeds 3,000 million euros and a personal fortune estimated at 4,600 million, is betting on an asset that the urban planning regulations themselves limit almost completely. Its investment profile, built on shopping centers in Murcia, Almería or the Canary Islands, anticipates patience in its movements: the real business to be exploited with Gran Vía 28 depends on a decision that sooner or later the Madrid City Council will have to make.
