Break’ project for San Juan Park in Brunete is based on the sharawadgi concept
which avoids rigid lines and symmetry in favor of irregularity in garden design
It involves actions in a new natural scheme that courses the edge of the municipality’s urban space
with views of Madrid’s western mountain range
The starting point was a study and cataloguing of existing elements
with the aim of preserving the environment
Three actions along the urban edge stand out
for people to stop for a rest and enjoy the nature around
The second involves a new route under the existing trees
reusing the concrete pieces that used to form the curb of a path that had fallen into disuse
And the third is installing a metal catwalk to mark the end of the route
and generate a new perception of the space

The real estate developer LaFinca Real Estate will build luxury homes in the Brunete area and the inspiration will be the luxury homes of Pozuelo de Alarcón
new neighborhoods and cities that will multiply in size to cushion the city’s population growth
But there is an urban development operation that will take place in Brunete that talks about the construction of 17,572 homes
These seventeen thousand new houses to be built in the town in the northwest of Madrid will be accompanied by an ostensible multiplication of the population: there are reports that speak of a six-fold increase and others that say it will be a three-fold increase
a percentage close to 50% will be of protected or limited price
as reported in the newspaper El Mundo in these statements by the mayor of Brunete
the popular Mar Nicolas: “We have a big housing problem and Brunete needs to grow
Many young people want to access their first home and can not and
Our goal is to increase the supply to alleviate the price.”
But one of the operations that stands out is the creation of luxury housing
With a high percentage of the land in nearby towns inhabited by high income earners (Boadilla del Monte
Brunete looks like a special opportunity for real estate developers
Specifically for Grupo LaFinca Real Estate
the developer behind the coveted Pozuelo de Alarcón development
LaFinca has chosen the La Pellejera site (in the SR-7 sector of the development and which was once going to be a golf course) to build new luxury homes

“It is a Brunete population project where we will develop more than two million meters with an innovative and transformative concept that will mark a new milestone
as La Finca de Pozuelo did more than 20 years ago,” said CEO Susana García-Cereceda during the launch party for La Finca Grand Café

García-Cereceda also added that the homes will not reach the level of those built in Pozuelo
but they will still be for a premium market: single-family homes built on plots of between 500 and 2,500 square meters

The generation of 1995 was a great generation
but they were the first to do it and to make future generations believe that it is possible
Villarreal CF won for the first time the famous Torneo de Brunete
which later became known as LaLiga Promises and
To get an idea of the talent in that generation
a star like Pablo Fornals was not part of the the U12 (Alevín A)
With local kids like Rubén Fortuño or Sergio Segura and from the rest of the province
accompanied by some from further afield like Joel Melgarejo
who went on to play for Villarreal B and is still a professional footballer
Villarreal conquered the best youth tournament in the world
One of the curiosities of this team is that Juan Ibiza himself
known as such because he is a native of the island
was the first ever U12 player in the history of the Miralcamp residence
Other players who also made it to Villarreal B
such as the captain Ramón Bueno and Manu Viana
the Submarine have won the trophy twice more
a trophy they have grown very fond of and which they ended up hosting at both the Pamesa Training Ground and the Estadio de la Cerámica
I think the club started to take this competition much more seriously
but it was unthinkable that you could win it because it was so complicated,” confesses Jorge Peris
The Groguets had a very difficult road to win the tournament once they got past the group stage
FC Barcelona and Sevilla from the round of 16 to the semi-finals
Against the Catalan side they were liberated: “We were like the Spanish national team before
we had a burden with the quarter-finals in this type of tournament and we decided to go for it instead of waiting at the back
we defended the result well,” explains Peris with a smile on his face
the drama also reigned supreme: “We were 1-0 down because we were so tired from the Barça game
but in the end we managed to equalise and went to penalties
but then they missed the next two and we went through to the final,” said the coach from Burriana
Villarreal went into the final of the big tournament having lost the league championship against a Valencia side that were unforgiving
“We only lost one game against them there and we drew here when we were 2-0 up,” says the former coach
they lost at the tournamente against finalists Real Sociedad
Jorge Peris’s Villarreal defeated Real Sociedad’s Álvaro Odriozola
there were other future football stars such as Jon Bautista
José Manuel Llaneza could not be there because the final coincided with the Villarreal B promotion match
but a representative of the club’s board of directors was present to see how the Yellows Academy’s hard work was beginning to bear fruit

[At the site where Wendorf’s letters are posted—see below—Nancy Phillips writes: “Paul Wendorf was my mother’s first cousin and my father’s best friend
in the sexy beret of the International Brigades
stood on the bookcase in our home for the first ten years of my life
and it was to learn about him that I sought out his letters from Spain.]
in New York City into a Russian Jewish immigrant family that became prosperous
He studied history and economics at Columbia
After joining the Communist Party a year later
he worked as an organizer for a white-collar municipal workers’ union and as a coordinator of welfare and relief for the unemployed
He married Leona Grossman in February 1937
the same month he enlisted in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade
During the nineteen months he was in Spain
The letters have been part of the ALBA Collection at Tamiment Library for many years
the love between Paul and his wife is evident
even in those that involve mundane concerns about cigarettes
a soldier’s account of his life as a volunteer in Spain during the period of the Jarama
Two themes emerge: Paul’s growing despair about the Republic’s capacity to prevail militarily; and his deep commitment to the Republic
with its vivid account of the historic crossing of the Ebro River and the early days of the Offensive
and hope against hope that the Republic would prevail
Paul arrived at the Jarama Battlefield on February 27th just in time for an attack that resulted in a horrific number of Battalion casualties
He carried food and ammunition and worked as a stretcher carrier
he spent in the water-logged trenches at the Jarama front
until in May he transferred to a machine-gun company as a private
the XV Brigade was in almost continuous action in the Battle of Brunete
Paul wrote: “Dearest… Because I want to tell you a truth—the war will not be over very soon
The fascist counter-offensive has been stopped
But the fascists are struggling like raging beasts
and although defeat is now clearly seen for them
they have the technical means of prolonging the defeat.”
Paul wrote to the wife of a fellow brigadista: “What I am trying to say
can’t be expected to keep carrying this burden forever
we will be going up to the lines again…Whatever it is
an attempt to make up for equipment by daring
and the capacity of men to face superior odds.”
Paul learned that his widowed mother had found out that he was in Spain
To Leona he wrote: “Dearest… In the letter I wrote [Mother] I said that I had come to Spain because
in my own mind; that I had to be true to the things I believed in
the things which have made my life worthwhile
you must explain to her that life could be worth living to me only if I came to Spain—to stay behind would have been to deny myself the life I wanted
and much more; you must tell her why you let me go
all the things that make me precious to you.”
having crossed the Ebro into fascist territory
a battalion meeting—the Army of the Ebro (under command of Modesto
formerly of the 5th Regiment of Madrid) is to cross the Ebro at a number of points
relieve the pressure on Valencia by forcing the fascists to transfer their forces
strike a blow at fascism on the international scale
We will cross in rowboats; after the crossing
pontoon bridges will be built and we will try to get our tanks and artillery over
We have found out that the fascists have a very thin line defending the river and expect to break through without much trouble
Our Brigade will be the reserve for the Division in crossing
I smiled at their smiling because I knew from Brunete that the ‘reserve’ does more fighting and marching in the toughest places than many of the ‘first-line’ units.)
The Catalans give their peculiar cheer: tricky
each file a different Battalion or different company
while huge trucks and artillery pieces rumble along
keep quiet while the trucks pick their way among the marching files in second gear
men cursing truck drivers for breaking their lines and making them lose contact in the pitch black night
drivers cursing the men for holding them up
Your cigarettes give a smoke to the whole machine-gun company of the Lincoln-Washington Battalion
There was enough left over for another cigarette to each squad later in the day
“We still had about a kilometer to travel to the river
Fascist artillery from across the river pounding on us on the way—march
Brigade Commissar Gates comes back from the river
‘What did you see Johnny?’ ‘A lot of water and nothing else
The Mac-Paps and 24th are over.’ Two Battalions of our Brigade have already crossed
Labor battalion carrying wooden planks for the platoon bridge
a huge swift fascist bomber comes down low
bedlam–the seamen from the British and American Battalions who are superintending embarkation are going nuts
A couple of rowboats were hit by machine gun bullets from the airplanes
I grab the oars which are tied to the gunwales by rope
A rope comes untied and we drift in the river for a quarter of a minute while it is being re-tied and we wonder if the next bomber will find us in the center of the river
One hundred yards of river and we are on the other bank
“Then starts the long hike of that first day up the hills
keeping off main roads that the fascist aviation will be watching
men with mules who crossed the river (the mules swam)
not knowing when the pontoon bridges would be built
or how many times the bombers would blow them up…
Our artillery finally came over and did some shelling of its own
although the fascist aviation still dominated the sky
the smell of the dead everywhere; no sleep for a week; my hands blistered and raw from picking through solid rock to dig machine gun pits; pants ripped to shreds by crawling around in the brush; (a Spanish comrade from another Brigade saw me walking along with my trousers flapping about my bare legs like skirts
and miraculously pulled out of his pack one of the 3 or 4 pairs of pants in Spain long enough to fit me—a beautiful pair of corduroy and gave them to me
which gave the sores on my knees a chance to heal
some Ouija Board will tell how that five foot six Spaniard came to have in that pack that pair of pants for my six feet
just when I needed them.) Strange how men’s personalities changed under the stress of this life on the verge of death
An article from the Daily Worker on August 24 included Paul’s name among those who received awards for good work in the last action

the 2018 judo world champion explains why he feels connected to both countries
Nikoloz Sherazadishvili sometimes goes by just "Niko Shera"
has lived in Spain since he was 14 and been a citizen of the country for six years
Sherazadishvili became the first Spanish man to win a judo world title when he beat Cuba's Iván Felipe Silva in the men's middleweight (90 kg) category
"I feel like I'm between two flags," he said.
A post shared by Nikoshera (@nikoshera) on Oct 12
Sherazadishvili began judo at a young age in Tbilisi
where he had practised both the martial art and water polo
and Sherazadishvili joined the Brunete judo club just outside the capital Madrid
That club was run by three-time Olympian Joaquín Ruiz
who remains Sherazadishvili's coach to this day
Quino is like a second father," Sherazadishvili said
"He has given his all for me and I didn't see any other way to thank him," he explained about his decision to compete for Spain
"It has not been easy because I love my country (Georgia) and I will never forget it
At first it hurt to see the Georgian flag or to see the Georgian team but I'm very proud to represent Spain and I enjoy seeing the Spanish flag."
Sherazadishvili was a polyglot who already knew three languages – Georgian
Learning Spanish was just a minor obstacle to overcome
"The language was the only thing I didn't know at the beginning
but within a year I had more or less learned it
I already knew Russian and English and Georgian
so maybe the other languages I knew helped me."
Sherazadishvili only returns to Georgia once a year to see his family for Christmas
It was clear to Quino Ruiz from the start that this new arrival from Tbilisi who spoke little Spanish had something special
"I realised he didn't just have talent
he wanted to be the best and he knew it clearly
These were the perfect ingredients to achieve what he has achieved," Ruiz said
One of those values is bravery and courage to face problems
Niko had the capability to face the world without me telling him what to do
I remember when Niko received (Spanish) nationality and competed for Spain for the first time
I told the president of the Spanish Judo Federation
'this guy will be a world champion'."
That came true in 2018 when Sherazadishvili made Spanish sporting history – before him only two women
had won world titles in judo for the country
His feat surpassed his coach's own best performance at a World Championships
which ended with a silver medal in Barcelona in 1991
Sherazadishvili dedicated his win to his late father
who had died a year and a half before his triumph in Baku
"It was important for me on a family level to have dedicated this medal to my father," he said
"I achieved my dream of becoming world champion
and I was able to see the hopes and motivation I created for the future generation
"There are kids in Georgia and Spain who want to be like me and that makes me happy."
The future continues to look bright for Sherazadishvili, who is working hard under Ruiz in preparation for Tokyo 2020 after a season disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic
"We haven't stopped (training) since the first moment we could go out," he said
"I've been living in Quino's house because he has a gym
and in the first few months I did a lot of physical work
Now that we've been allowed back to training we haven't stopped
"We're giving our all to go (to Tokyo) and win
We have no other mentality – the objective is to end up as champions."
Ruiz says his charge has the ability to change the sport
He will achieve so much for Spain that he will hook people onto judo
it has to bear fruit for him because he deserves it."
Image purports to show photojournalist who died during Spanish civil war being treated by a doctor
View image in fullscreenGerda Taro being treated by Janos Kiszely
Photograph: Picture supplied by John KiszelyA photograph believed to be of Gerda Taro
one of the world’s first and greatest war photographers
apparently lying on her deathbed in a hospital during the Spanish civil war
has been found 80 years after she was killed
The photograph was published on Twitter several days ago by John Kiszely, a retired British lieutenant general, whose Hungarian father, Dr Janos Kiszely, was a volunteer doctor with the International Brigades who fought against Gen Francisco Franco during the Spanish civil war
The photograph shows Dr Kiszely dabbing at blood that has trickled from the nose and mouth of a young woman with short
who died after she was knocked off the running board of a car by a tank during a fierce
An inscription on the back in Spanish and English
which appears to have been added much later
June 1937 (in Torrelodones) Mrs Frank Capa = of Ce Soire of Paris
German-raised Taro, who carried a Polish passport, published her photographs in Ce Soir. She worked with the future Magnum agency co-founder Robert Capa, who was also her partner and first became famous as a war photographer in Spain
She died while photographing a chaotic retreat after the Battle of Brunete
shortly after Franco’s troops had won a major victory
both Taro and Capa had become famous and Ce Soir organised a huge funeral for her in Paris
Taro had ignored warnings from Capa and others to stay away from the frontline at one of the most dangerous moments in the war and
had hitched a ride on the running boards of a general’s car that was being used to ferry the injured
As they were strafed by German aircraft supporting Franco’s troops near Villanueva de la Cañada
an out-of-control tank from the republican army ran into them and she was mortally wounded in the stomach
She was still alive and conscious when she arrived at the British hospital in El Escorial
where she was operated on by the New Zealand surgeon Dr Douglas Jolly – but she died that night
Witnesses spoke of her face being covered with blood
the Spanish poet Rafael Alberti and his wife
received a call telling them the body was at the hospital
Kiszely told the Guardian his father did not talk much about the Spanish civil war, but had said he worked with an English field hospital, doing triage on the injured.
English volunteers encouraged him to go to Britain with them after the war, when the Hungarian embassy in Paris made it clear that, as a supporter of the leftwing republican side during the civil war, he would not be welcome in Hungary. He eventually settled on the Isle of Wight.
Kiszely was handed the photograph after his father’s death by Reg Saxton, a British volunteer who had worked with the international medical services on the republican side.
“I never looked at the back,” he said. “To me this was just a photograph of my father with another patient.” But after he posted it on Twitter two days ago, Spanish civil war enthusiasts began to ask him more – and he then looked at the back.
Spanish media are hailing it as a remarkable find.
“It certainly looks like her,” agreed Richard Baxell, a historian and expert on the Spanish civil war – though he also called for further investigation.
“My very first impression is that it does look very like Gerda Taro,” said Rogoyska, adding that many people in Spain had thought that she was Capa’s wife. “The thing that inclines one to think it is Gerda Taro is the short hair and those very thin eyebrows, and just the fragility of the body.”
Rogoyska said further corroboration was needed about the origins of the mysterious photograph along with more information about Dr Kiszely’s movements before anybody could be sure. “Otherwise it is guesswork,” she said.
The inscription on the back of the photograph gives the wrong month for Taro’s death and talks of Torrelodones, a town 15 miles away from El Escorial – adding further mystery. The fact it names “Frank Capa” suggests that whoever wrote it mixed Robert Capa up with the famous film director Frank Capra.
For many years photographs taken by Taro were attributed to Capa and Rogoyska said that, after her death and during the early Magnum years, their pictures often ended up being “lumped together”.
“There was a covering over of her presence, not maliciously, but because there was no one there to say ‘this is by him’ or ‘that is by her’,” she added.
Capa co-founded the famous Magnum agency in 1947 and died after stepping on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954.

playRemembering the best of Andrés Iniesta's legendary career (2:41)ESPN FC's pundits and analysts share their favourite memories of Andrés Iniesta's legendary playing career
Luis Enrique dubbed him Harry Potter, Xavi Hernández reckons he is Spain's greatest-ever player, David Silva once claimed he was the game's No. 1 ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
and Pep Guardiola said he helped provide him with a better understanding of football
If that doesn't give you an idea of how good Iniesta was, take a look at his trophy cabinet, which includes a FIFA World Cup, two UEFA European Championships and four UEFA Champions League titles among his 38 trophies for club and country
The creative midfielder -- a genius on the ball, either gliding forward or playing killer passes -- spent the final years of his career in Japan with Vissel Kobe and the United Arab Emirates with Emirates Club
He had an option to extend his stay with the latter
but instead has decided to hang up his boots
he chose the eighth day of October to make it official
8 shirt he wore for the majority of his club career
here are eight of Iniesta's most defining moments
There was never any doubt that Iniesta would make it as a professional
He stood out in every age category and youth tournament he played in
Two tournaments famously marked his early career
At the 1996 Brunete Championship -- a renowned youth competition in Spain at the time -- he won the MVP award as a 12-year-old for Albacete
Iniesta starred in Barça colours at the Nike Cup
Guardiola watched the finals and he told teammate Xavi
who had just broken into the Blaugrana first team: "You will retire me

but Iniesta was still the side's heartbeat
A Spain hero, non-confrontational and a thoroughbred of a player, Iniesta is idolised in his homeland. There aren't many grounds in Spanish football where he has not been given an ovation -- and that includes Real Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabéu during El Clásico
Madrid fans took to their feet as Iniesta left the pitch in 2015 after he had set up one goal and scored another in Barça's 4-0 win at the home of their biggest rivals
The scriptwriters came up with the goods for the 2018 Copa del Rey final. Iniesta, approaching his 34th birthday, had already announced he would leave Barça at the end of the season. He did so feeling that his time at the top level was coming to an end, but his performance against Sevilla suggested otherwise
he was the best player on the pitch in a 5-0 win
He ran the game like a 20-something again and crowned his performance with a brilliant goal
rounding the goalkeeper and rolling the ball home
He left the pitch to the umpteenth ovation of his career
with tears in his eyes and the curtains coming down on an incredible 22 years at Barça with another trophy
✨ Las mejores CROQUETAS sobre el terreno de juego las hacía @andresiniesta8. 🤤 Spoiler: este vídeo es una DELICIA. #DiaInternacionaldelaCroqueta pic.twitter.com/ZsV2w1aKyl
This is not a single moment like the others on this list
but this piece of skill was magical to watch every time he pulled it off
Iniesta did not invent "La Croqueta" but he did help return the move to prominence
It is a skill that characterises his brilliance and his ability to manoeuvre out of tight spots
It involves shifting the ball with speed from one foot to the other and using the second foot to power away from your defender
It was magic every time Iniesta pulled it off -- even if defenders knew it was coming
"There is always a moment when you think you're going to catch him
when you think you're going to get the ball off him," former teammate Messi said

Regarded as the first woman photojournalist to work from the frontlines of war
the short life of Gerda Taro has been commemorated in Google's latest Doodle on the 108th anniversary of her birth
Her reportage and lens shed light on the brutality of the Spanish Civil War which would ultimately claim her life
Born Gerta Pohorylle in 1910 in Stuttgart to a Jewish family
She was arrested in 1933 for distributing anti-Nazi material and her entire family had to leave Germany
She studied photography under the Hungarian photojournalist Endre Freidmann with whom she was romantically linked and whose pseudonym
Her photos of the war were published internationally and her reports for the leftist newspaper Ce Soir from the Brunete front ran counter to the Nationalist propaganda being touted
She died aged only 26 on July 26 1937 while she was photographing a retreat after the Battle of Brunete when a tank crashed into a car carrying soldiers she had hopped onto
Jane Rogoyska, who wrote a biography of the photographer, told the Guardian: "She shouldn't have been there
It was a far too dangerous part of the battle
But she got into this conviction that she had to bear witness
Capa warned her not to take so many risks."
Alexander Szurek, an adjutant to a Republican general said of Taro: "We all loved Gerda very much… Gerda was petite with the charm and beauty of a child. This little girl was brave and the Division admired her for that," the BBC reported.
She was buried at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris after a funeral given by the French Communist Party
a photograph of her apparently on her deathbed was found and published on Twitter by a retired British lieutenant general
was a volunteer doctor with the International Brigades
Many images that had been taken by Taro were actually attributed to Capa
who blamed himself for introducing her to the profession that led to her demise
"There was a covering over of her presence
but because there was no one there to say 'this is by him' or 'that is by her'," Rogoyska said
Capa co-founded the famous Magnum agency in 1947 and died after in Vietnam in 1954 after he stepped on a landmine

On Google.com is a special Google logo for Gerda Taro
just a week or so before her 27th birthday
while capturing images on the front line of the Spanish Civil War in July 1937
She is known as the "the little red fox" for being the first female to photograph on the front lines of a war
The Doodle has gone live on Google properties that are already on August 1st
1937 from her wounds while capturing the Republican army retreat at the Battle of Brunete
Germany and had to flee the country when Hitler and the Nazi party took control
She was born into a middle-class Jewish Galician family and thus didn't really see eye-to-eye with the Nazi party
she was arrested and detained for distributing anti-Nazi propaganda
Google wrote:
Known as “the little red fox,” the ginger-haired photographer fearlessly turned her camera lens to capture sensitive and critical images of conflict around the world
producing powerful black-and-white images that informed readers of the newspaper Ce Soir
Taro is considered to be the first female journalist in the world to cover the front lines of conflict
She moved to France in moved to Paris in 1934. In her short 26 years, she really left a legacy for her name. You can read about her on Wikipedia

Coach who uncovered Iniesta recalls his beginnings
Send to multiple recipients separating emails with a comma
Albert Benaiges discovered and signed Andr�s Iniesta for Barcelona
The former manager of grassroots football at Barcelona is currently in his second year in charge of youth development at Al Wasl
the team that had Diego Maradonna as first-team coach until recently
If people want to talk about Iniesta his first reaction is: "What do you want to know?"
I was coaching Bar�a's top youth team and for the second time there was a seven-a-side tournament being played in Brunete
and so intelligent… That's the first thing I remember about him"
"We need to find the father of the number 5
My mum really had a soft spot for him – he seemed very fragile and he found it very difficult when his parents came to visit every 15 days
I remember thinking that I wasn't sure if we could get this kid through
He stayed strong and that was an early demonstration of his determination."
The last time Albert saw him was at his wedding last summer
