with Amazon's procurement team investing heavily in wind and solar projects in more than 600 locations globally Iberdrola Europe's largest provider of renewable power two years running has provided Amazon with access to clean energy for several years the two corporate giants have signed a series of new PPAs which will see Iberdrola supply Amazon with an additional 476MW of energy Amazon's first PPA in Portugal will see the technology giant purchase 219 MW from the Tâmega Wind Complex The project is part of Iberdrola's wider green hybridisation initiative which seeks to maximise existing grid infrastructure Iberdrola has committed approximately €350m (US$359m) to the Tâmega development which will supply power equivalent to the annual consumption of 128,000 homes and create more than 700 jobs at peak construction Amazon has contracted 212 MW from the Ciudad Rodrigo solar PV plant in Salamanca and 45 MW from the Valdemoro wind farm in Burgos These projects will contribute to Amazon's goal of matching its electricity consumption with 100% renewable energy a key milestone in its net zero commitment with an Iberdrola investment of nearly €200m (US$205m) will generate enough clean energy for 150,000 homes while providing more than 800 jobs during peak construction Iberdrola has pledged to help restore the Plaza Amayuelas town square in Ciudad Rodrigo Executive Vice President Customer Business at Iberdrola highlights the importance of the collaboration “With Amazon we have a partnership that truly matches our own commitment to develop sustainable energy and drive the energy transition forward around the world,” Aitor explains “With Iberdrola’s extensive global portfolio of renewables we are continually seeking to expand such partnerships to accelerate decarbonisation and support businesses in reaching their climate goals.” Iberdrola has been increasing its reliance on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve operational efficiency the company designated AWS as its preferred cloud provider for Gen AI This move has allowed Iberdrola to enhance its wind farm design process by simulating wake effects and optimising turbine layouts using high-performance computing AWS's cloud solutions are also helping Iberdrola improve weather forecasting for its 400 wind farms worldwide The company is deploying a Virtual Desktop as a Service platform to streamline employee access to critical applications Iberdrola's transition to AWS extends to the AWS Spain Region enabling the migration of further workloads and increasing the company's operational agility “Amazon is committed to driving the carbon-free energy transition forward both to advance our Climate Pledge goals and support Europe's transition to more sustainable energy sources,” says  Lindsay McQuade “We are excited to further support Iberdrola in its growth plans leveraging the scalability and services of AWS in data and AI.” The Iberdrola-Amazon partnership is a shining example of how corporate alliances can help to kickstart major progress in renewable energy development whilst also harnessing digital technologies to optimise energy consumption With Iberdrola continuing to scale its renewable portfolio and Amazon advancing its cloud and AI capabilities both companies are set to benefit from one another's expertise for the foreseeable future.​​​​​​​ As Iberdrola expands its footprint across Europe and beyond further agreements with corporate buyers are likely to follow Amazon's energy procurement strategy suggests it will continue to set the pace for corporate sustainability initiatives pushing its suppliers and partners towards a greener future “Iberdrola and AWS believe that innovation is key to achieving our sustainability

the 1960s after it was donated by Samuel H On the second floor of the UA Museum of Art stands a fragile piece of Spanish history that has survived war of Ciudad Rodrigo consists of several panels depicting religious Catholic artwork created from oil paint on wood The retablo was created in Ciudad Rodrigo in the province of Salamanca Fernando Gallego and Maestro Bartolomé created the retablo in their workshops the Spanish expelled Muslim and Jewish people from the country The retablo was seen as a representation of Catholicism according to UAMA curator Olivia Miller.  The Hispano-Flemish style paintings tell the story of Jesus starting with the creation of the universe and ending with the last judgment Miller said the retablo originally would have been framed with panels stacking together The rest of the panels’ whereabouts remain a mystery Miller believes there could have been at least 30 or more panels total with the altarpiece that would have only been displayed on special occasions RELATED: UA’s Special Collections: History at your fingertips “In the 19th century when the Napoleonic wars were happening and so it was bombed a lot,” Miller said one of our panels actually does still have a hole in it from one of those artillery.” The retablo was donated as part of the Samuel H Kress Collection in the early 1960s and it has lived in the museum since then Kress was a teacher who decided to open a unique “five and dime” store where all items cost five or ten cents With his newfound wealth he collected artwork.  When Kress’ health began to decline he decided to give away his entire collection; most of it went to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.  the UAMA has a large portion of Kress’ collection because his sister-in-law was a UA alumna Miller was told that the UA received the retablo because of Arizona’s connections to Mexico and Spain “What I think is always really interesting is to come to the museum and look at our altarpiece and then go to San Xavier Mission and look at their altarpiece and kind of compare it and see how these cultures have blended,” Miller said Although it derives from religious significance being Catholic is not a requirement to appreciate the artistic merits of the retablo.  “Even if you’re not interested in the subject matter you can look at fifteenth century fashion,” Miller said “All the figures are dressed in the clothes that people would have worn when the artists were making the paintings.” There are two infrared reflector graphs on display at the UAMA They are similar to x-rays and their function is to allow people to see the drawings underneath the painting Miller said people can see where the artist changed their mind carpenters and painters also contributed to the creation of the retablo people can see Gallego’s handwriting underneath the painting where he left color notations for his assistants.  RELATED: UA museum highlights pharmacy history These important pieces of artwork are preserved in a 72-degree A lot of visitors come to see the altarpiece after watching “Secrets of the Divine: The Altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo” an Arizona Public Media documentary about the retablo

museum is open everyday of the week.

Rodrigo compartió su gusto por estar en la capital y contó que había realizado algunas actividades como turista antes de su concierto. La velada incluyó temas como “vampire”, “drivers license”, “traitor”, “happier” y “pretty isn’t pretty”. Entretenimiento El tour ‘Sin llorar’ aterrizó en el YouTube Theater de Inglewood e hizo vibrar a una de las ciudades que más quiere y aprecia a la cantante de Hermosillo, Sonora Rodrigo lució un minishort de cuero con un enorme cinturón con estoperoles y un corsé plateado que combinó con unas medias negras de red y botas de suela gruesa hasta la rodilla. Tenía varias pasarelas de cristal sobre las que cantó y bailó mientras una cámara la filmaba creativamente desde debajo. También estuvo acompañada por bailarinas en ropa interior vintage de color blanco. Tocó el piano y la guitarra, pero sobre todo se dejó llevar hasta las lágrimas cuando interpretó “enough for you” y sus fans mostraron carteles que decían en inglés “you’re enough for us” (eres suficientemente buena para nosotros) en referencia a la letra de la canción que habla sobre un amor para el cual Rodrigo no fue suficiente. “La escribí cuando era una chica triste, un periodo en mi vida en el que tenía el corazón muy roto y era muy insegura”, contó Rodrigo. “Parece una locura, pero si pudiera regresar en el tiempo y decirle a esa chica de 17 años con el corazón roto que un día estaría cantándola en un estadio lleno de gente en la Ciudad de México, creo que ella se habría emocionado, así que muchas gracias a ustedes por ayudarme a cumplir mi sueño”. “teenage dream”, “deja vu”, “brutal”, “get him back!” y “good four u” fueron otras de las canciones que interpretó para un total de hora y media de concierto. Rodrigo, quien en sus fechas en el Estadio GNP tuvo como abridora a la rockera estadounidense St. Vincent, se presentará nuevamente en la Ciudad de México el jueves y después viajará al festival Tecate Pa’l Norte de Monterrey de este fin de semana. Olivia Rodrigo celebró su gira mundial Guts en la Ciudad de México. (Eduardo Verdugo/AP) Sus conciertos forman parte de su gira mundial Guts iniciada en 2024 y con la que ha visitado Chile, Argentina, Brasil, buena parte de Europa, Canadá y también ha recorrido Estados Unidos. Los fans, que son muy vigilantes de la lista de sus canciones, sabían que había posibilidades de que su debut en México no fuera una de sus presentaciones más largas. Al salir con un grupo de amigos, la empleada de logística Camila Nieto, de 27 años, tenían sentimientos encontrados. “Está hermosa, canta increíble, yo estaba llorando, tenía una energía muy cool, nos transmitía su energía, pero a mí me faltaron canciones o más outfits (vestuarios)”, dijo. “Que regrese y cante más… pero aún así la amo, disfruté mucho del concierto”. ‘Huevos Revueltos Tour’ arrancará en Nueva York, recorrerá las ciudades importantes de Texas, así como Georgia, Miami, Chicago y culminará en Los Ángeles Deportes Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map Has elegido rechazar las cookies basadas en consentimiento que utilizamos principalmente para gestionar la publicidad y las recomendaciones de contenido para aceder a nuestra web tienes que elegir alguna de las siguientes opciones Has cambiado de idea y quieres NAVEGAR GRATIS Y CON PUBLICIDAD..

He said somewhere between 45,000 and 50,000 people had been attracted over the weekend to this year’s four-day fiesta, that included afternoon bullfights and bull-running events. Ciudad Rodrigo – population 14,000 – is a small cathedral city close to the Portuguese border. It retains its ancient defensive walls and was the site of key battles between Napoleon’s army and British forces under the Duke of Wellington from 1810 to 1812. 20221:09 PM UTCScorching heatwave sparks wildfires in EuropeOver 20 wildfires raged across Portugal and several burned in western Spain menacing villages and disrupting tourists' holidays amid a heatwave that meteorologists expect to push temperatures into the high 40s Celsius [1/34]Sheep graze as a wildfire rages on during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Guadapero [2/34]A helicopter works on containing a wildfire during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Guadapero [3/34]Smoke from a wildfire billows during the second heatwave of the year behind Ciudad Rodrigo [5/34]A helicopter works on containing a wildfire during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Guadapero [6/34]Sheep graze as a wildfire rages on during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Guadapero [8/34]Firefighters watch a wildfire in Ourem [9/34]A fire fighting aircraft works to contain a forest fire in Leiria [10/34]Local women help firefighters after they controlled the fire near their homes [11/34]A fire fighting helicopter works to contain a wildfire during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Riomalo de Arriba [12/34]Firefighters from Extremadura work to contain a wildfire in the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Riomalo de Arriba [13/34]A plane flies over a wildfire in Ourem [14/34]People carry their dogs while they evacuate after a wildfire [15/34]A view shows smoke rising from the Gironde forest fires as seen from Landiras [16/34]A person stands as a wildfire continues [18/34]A firefighter walks on burned ground after a wildfire in Ourem [19/34]A fire fighting helicopter works to contain a wildfire in Leiria [20/34]A helicopter works on containing a wildfire during the second heatwave of the year in the vicinity of Guadapero More in this CollectionSee all picturesItem 21 of 34 A general view shows smoke rising from the Gironde forest fires as seen from Dune de Pilat Quentin/via REUTERS[21/34]A general view shows smoke rising from the Gironde forest fires as seen from Dune de Pilat , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

He won’t start on stage 16 of @lavuelta today.#LaVuelta20 #AstanaProTeamNovember 6, 2020 It's hard to say exactly what could happen on today's stage There's a chance that crosswinds affect the race and it looks like a good day for a breakaway The GC men might try some moves over those climbs in the second half of the stage though with the final (unclassified) hill 18km from the line it might be better to save themselves for the La Covatilla summit finish tomorrow With 2,600 metres of climbing on the road to Ciudad Rodrigo the stage is tougher than the originally planned flat run from Portual "I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody tried to make a move on Friday's stage 16 The last first category ascent is a fair way from the finish and there are some draggy unclassified climbs straight afterwards but one to test the water a bit and see how the other GC rivals are going."

Ciudad Rodrigo looking down towards the town’s makeshift bullring But then people who come to Ciudad Rodrigo don’t exactly come for art This initially comes as a shock to those whose understanding of Spanish bullfighting is based solely on the modern corrida with its emphasis on stillness and its sense of tragedy But this is a relatively recent phenomenon and was born in Seville and Ronda in the heart of Andalusia The north is where one comes for a glimpse of a cruder more primeval iteration of Spain’s relationship with the bulls One of its oldest elements is the encierro which translates literally as the corralling of bulls though we know it better as “the running” of them My first desencierro – a bull run leading the animals away from the bullring at the conclusion of a capea – is about to begin I am trying not to look at the place on Angus’s neck where a bull’s horn grazed the skin along his jugular after he slipped while leading the bull through the ring I am trying not to think about the 21-year-old Puerto Rican – dressed in a cow costume – who received 25- and 40-centimetre horn wounds when he was gored by a bull moments later The bell above the town hall begins to ring get out as quickly as you can,” Angus says in his thick Glaswegian accent He has run more than 75 encierros in towns and villages all over Spain and is the one who invited me here “I’m going to get out before the arch,” I say Before we have time to discuss it any further the ringing of the bell speeds up and three steers appear at the bottom of the street These enormous animals are used to help herd the fighting bulls and are not usually dangerous themselves though they have already knocked someone unconscious during the course of this year’s festivities attempting to get around them on their right side – three smaller faster and much angrier fighting bulls suddenly come into view Pamplona’s eight encierros during the yearly fiesta of San Fermín remain the most famous in the world where hundreds of horsemen drive a herd of fighting bulls across the plain every morning before runners pick them up at the edge of town Tafalla and countless other tiny pueblos that Hemingway never wrote about and that remain virtually unspoiled by tourism as a result Saint-Sever in France holds its own yearly bull run as well 89 kilometres south-west of Salamanca and 25 kilometres from the Portuguese border no fewer than 11 runs take place over the course of a mere four days We arrived in town on the first evening of the Carnaval del Toro and made our way up into the old city The long rectangular bullring that the council sets up in Plaza Mayor was already a hive of activity in anticipation of the midnight capea that kicks off the festivities Harking back to the days when bullfights were held in such plazas Constructed out of what appear to be random planks and wooden poles it looks as if it could come tumbling down were one to remove a single piece We joined the hundreds of people skirting about in the half-light beneath the bleachers ducking in and out of bars and cafés with entry ways lit by fluorescent tubing rigged up hastily on the underside of the seats Eventually we climbed up one of the various stepladders The carnaval’s schedule includes two corridas two novilladas (bullfights for aspiring bullfighters who have not yet achieved the full rank of matador) one performance by professional recortadores (athletes who dodge and leap over bulls without using capes or swords) and seemingly countless capeas are among the most popular at the carnaval They are also free-for-alls: amateur bullfights in which locals While one occasionally sees flashes of brilliance in the capeas – a beautiful pass here another one there – this brilliance is never sustained Either the man runs away before attempting a second pass or else one of the other hundred people in the ring distracts the bull and prevents the amateur from generating any sort of rhythm For those who believe that only beauty can redeem the Spanish bullfight of its inherent cruelty the sense that the bull is vastly outnumbered and is simply being teased quickly becomes tiring Which is not to say that respect for the bull was nowhere to be seen during the carnaval The most moving experience of the week revealed true afición They said it had died of a heart attack during the morning’s encierro They said the sound its head made when it hit the cobblestones was dull and terrible A young man came up and grabbed one of the bull’s horns An older man slapped the young man’s hand away and chastised him People with cameras and iPhones were similarly reprimanded We followed a tractor up along the street to the old walls of the city centre and watched as it lowered its hydraulic backhoe to pass beneath the too-low arch that led to Calle Madrid and the bull Someone had covered the animal’s body with a tarp by the time the tractor arrived made sure the bull’s tail was safely tucked into the tractor’s loader before everyone backed away The tractor made a three-point turn and began to return up the street as though making a kind of offering to some god in a strange but reverential funeral procession Now I am running in that procession’s wake Plaza Conde comes up alongside me on the left people crowding the barriers but with enough room for me to squeeze through I aim for a gap in the railings and begin to veer towards it I cannot hear my blood thumping in my ears like they say you’re supposed to in a moment like this their horns – are closer to me than

dejado en nuestro país un legado arquitectónico cargado de historia Prueba de ello son las diferentes murallas que podemos encontrarnos por todo el territorio que servían para proteger los pueblos y controlar la entrada y salida de personas son auténticos tesoros que merece la pena visitar De origen medieval y construida en el siglo XII la muralla de Ciudad Rodrigo servía para guardar la frontera entre España y Portugal Tras los asedios de los siglos XVII y XVIII las murallas fueron restauradas y modernizadas y actualmente cuenta con 2 kms de extensión.  A pesar de haber estado ocupado por romanos y visigodos no fue hasta la llegada de los árabes que se construyó la fortaleza en este pueblo a orillas del río Júcar En la actualidad tanto la muralla como las puertas y torres se conserva casi en su totalidad.  Se trata de uno de los destinos más perseguidos de la sierra madrileña y es que este pueblo rodeado por una muralla construida en el sigo XI completada por un castillo gótico-mudéjar del siglo XV guarda uno de los complejos arquitectónicos medievales mejor conservados de la Comunidad de Madrid.  Construida en 1458 con mampostería la muralla de este pueblo de Soria es una de las mejores conservadas del país Fue mandada construir por el obispo Pedro García de Montoya para proteger el grupo urbano.  En La Rioja alavesa encontramos este pueblo recogido dentro de una muralla de 2 metros que fue construida por el rey Sancho el Fuerte de Navarra La muralla de Laguardia conserva intactas las cinco puertas que se construyeron para controlar la entrada y salida de gente de pueblo Construida en el siglo XII a base de sillares y tierra compactada es la mejor conservada de la época construida con dichos materiales 4 puertas y nada menos que 40 torreones.  Con el objetivo de proteger el reino taifas de Algeciras Actualmente el castillo que completa la muralla es un hotel y a mediados del siglo pasado con la llegada de turistas extranjeros se habitaron las casa vacías que tenía el pueblo por lo que Castellar de la Frontera se conserva en perfecto estado.  A pesar de que los romanos conquistaron este pequeño pueblo hacia el año I a.C. sus defensas no fueron construidas hasta el siglo XIII Aún se conservan dos de las entradas de la muralla: la puerta de la Villa y la puerta del Azogue En el Valle de Alagón se encuentra Galisteo un pequeño pueblo amurallado desde el siglo XIII además de la muralla se conservan las tres puertas originales de entrada al pueblo y la Torre de la Picota.  Casi mojado por el embalse de Gabriel y Galán se encuentra Granadilla un pueblo de la provincia de Cáceres cuyo casco urbano está rodeado por una muralla el pueblo fue expropiado por la construcción del pantano aunque finalmente este no llegó a inundar el pueblo.  Queda prohibida toda reproducción sin permiso escrito de la empresa a los efectos del artículo 32.1 a los efectos establecidos en el artículo 33.1 de Ley de Propiedad Intelectual la empresa

Seems as good a time as any to ask the question Want more Junkee in your life?

(Writeups of corridas appear in the arts section of the Spanish national daily El País not the sports section.) Certainly it is true that there’s more to a bullfight than a dude with a red cape fighting a bull to the death – the corrida goes through a number of delineated phases Strictly speaking, Benjamin Miller wasn’t injured in a bullfight but in the preliminary encierro, or “running of the bulls”. In Ciudad Rodrigo’s annual carnival the bulls are run between pens and the bullfighting ring erected beforehand in the town’s main square and foolhardy locals and tourists can attempt to outrun them A similar and more famous running of the bulls occurs in Pamplona Bullfighting isn’t just a Spanish activity – bullfights also occur throughout the Spanish-speaking world Famous Matadors form part of an international circuit and frequently travel around South and Central America in order to take part in flights there are other forms of bullfighting practiced around the world: there are local variants in both Portugal and the south of France as well as a number of bullfighting-like events in the Middle East and South-East Asia Bullfighting is banned in several areas of the world: in Spain’s Catalonia and Canary Islands regions if you can stomach the pictures of his injuries.) Bullfighting aficionados also like to charge its attackers with hypocrisy: given the terrible conditions of life and death for factory-farmed animals why do animal rights activists concern themselves with the relatively small number of animals who die in bullfighting But perhaps the staunchest defence is cultural. Humans fighting bulls is a long tradition, dating back to Roman times (although the current practice is much more recent dating back to the middle of the 18th century) it’s an integral part of Spanish national identity While bullfighting is legal in much of Spain, it isn’t legal everywhere. The Canary Islands banned the practice in 1991, and Catalonia followed suit much more recently How this happened itself reveals a great deal about the fraught politics of culture and regionalism in Spain Spain is not technically speaking a nation but a kingdom under the rule of the Spanish royal family; the kingdom bundles together a group of disparate ‘nations’ and regions into one official entity spanning two continents (parts of Spain, such as Ceuta and Melilla and the Canaries Like a lot of other countries in the European Union Spain is highly regional: each separate region has its own distinct culture and sometimes even its own officially-recognised language (There are even more officially unrecognised languages.) And there are conflicts within and between regions – for example Valencians believe they speak a separate language called Valencian while their Catalan neighbours to the north insist that Valencian is merely a dialect of Catalan The Catalan ban on bullfighting thus has to be understood in the context of an increasing cultural and political autonomy for the region in post-Franco Spain: by banning bullfighting the Catalan government is asserting not only its relatively recent autonomy from the central Madrid government but is also repudiating non-Catalan cultural traditions The idea that the Catalan government might be using animal welfare as a fig-leaf to cover less pure motives is supported by the fact that the non-fatal but arguably cruel Catalan tradition of bou embolat – a running of the bulls where flaming balls or fireworks are attached to the bulls’ horns – has not been banned the 1991 ban on bullfighting in the Canaries barely registered at the time; the movement for Canarian independence is much less developed than the Catalan one and bullfighting had never really taken off there.) Broadcasts of bullfights on state television Polling in Spain seems to indicate that bullfighting will be around for a while yet: a 2010 survey by El País indicated that 60% of Spaniards do not enjoy bullfighting compared to 37% who do The prevailing attitude in Spain seems to be a laissez-faire one: let the minority who enjoy it watch it If that doesn’t sit well with you, there’s much you can do: you can give a donation to the Spanish Asociación para la Defensa de los Derechos del Animal (Association for the Defense of Animal Rights) and you can endeavour to avoid supporting seemingly harmless festivals with bullfighting at their core One of the great things about the diversity of Spanish cultures is that there’s more than enough to go around without tourists having to see a bullfight Feature image by Paul Arboleda, for AFP/Getty Want more Junkee in your life?
