This ambitious project required a facility with a 95-meter free span and a clear height of 29 meters, capable of comfortably housing an Airbus A380. The project started in 2024 at the beginning of February and was completed by the end of July, taking only 5,5 months from start to finish. Spantech delivered a turnkey solution, managing every aspect of the project from initial planning to final installation, including all features and options. The hangar boasts several advanced features. Thermoroof technology, a cost-effective solution, uses a light insulation material that allows natural light to pass through while ensuring the insulated roof liner remains watertight. The high-tech fire protection system includes fire detection cameras, extinguishers, and hoses. The integration of the vertical fabric door within Spantech frames was carefully designed, with an adjustable hanging system ensuring seamless installation and operations all year round. Additionally, the office space inside the hangar features custom-made containers that integrate perfectly within the building, maximizing interior space. Throughout the installation, Spantech also supplied  high-power electrical distribution, heating and cooling systems, safety lines and a compressed air system. Situated at an elevation of 1000 meters in the mountains of Teruel, Spain, the MRO hangar was designed with permanent engineering to withstand harsh weather conditions. It is built to handle significant snow loads and high wind speeds. Tarmac Aerosave has inaugurated its fourth Airbus A380-capable aircraft maintenance hangar in Spain, which it says has been built to alleviate near-term capacity issues. The fourth maintenance hangar at Teruel hangar was unveiled at a ceremony held at the airport on Oct. 8, attended by airlines and aircraft leasing specialists along with airport and local government officials. Tarmac Aerosave’s capabilities in Teruel include aircraft maintenance, recycling services and storage, with capacity for 140 aircraft and 20 engines. With an 87,000-ft.2 capacity able to accommodate one A380 aircraft or four A320 narrowbodies, Tarmac Aerosave says it built the metal-textile hangar in around nine months and invested €15 million ($16 million) in its construction. In terms of scale, the new facility in Teruel measures at 95 m (312 ft.) in length, 85 m in width and around 34 m in height. Tarmac Aerosave says the structure is built with a steel and aluminum frame with its insulation generated from rock wool panels, making it designed to be fully dismantlable and reusable. The new hangar brings much-needed aircraft maintenance capacity to the Teruel site. Tarmac Aerosave says due to a backlog of work orders and long-term maintenance contracts, its original A380 hangar, which has capacity for two of the superjumbos, is fully booked for the next two years. Tarmac Aerosave established a presence in Teruel in 2013 and following on from more than a decade in the eastern Spanish city, the company now employs 230 people at the site out of a total workforce of 530 across its operations in Spain and France. It intends to add 50 new roles at Teruel due to coincide with the operation’s expansion. Alexandre Brun, CEO of Tarmac Aerosave, says the company is building further as a sign of its faith in the potential of the site. “This hangar represents our ongoing commitment to supporting the growth of the aviation market, as more and more aircraft take to the skies,” Brun says. Tarmac Aerosave is a joint venture split as a three-way partnership between airframe manufacturer Airbus, French OEM Safran and industrial services company Suez.

Eighty-five years after the conflict that shaped modern Spain prospects for the first national museum addressing the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship look increasingly distant amid polarised politics and a lack of consensus about how to remember the country’s history Right-wing regional governments are seeking to reverse the Socialist central government’s historical memory law which passed in 2022 with the aim of bringing justice to the victims of the war and Franco’s rule After winning an election in Aragón in August 2023 conservatives from the Partido Popular (PP) and the extreme right-wing Vox party succeeded in pushing through their “Concord Law” in February overturning the historical memory legislation in this region of eastern Spain While Spain’s Constitutional Court has provisionally suspended Aragón’s Concord Law following an appeal by Pedro Sanchez’s Socialist government the PP and Vox have in turn announced that they will appeal the suspension The triumph of the right casts doubt on the future direction of the planned National Museum of the Battle of Teruel and the Civil War whose content will now be defined under the new PP-Vox leadership The museum is already under construction in Teruel the backdrop to a major battle in the war that led to Franco’s victory and the regime that lasted until 1975 “We’ve taken a hit morally,” says Enrique Gómez the president of the Association for the Recuperation of Historical Memory of Aragón the project was already headed in the wrong direction before the election In early 2023 it emerged that a memorial in the garden of the museum would include the names of those who died in battle without differentiating between those who fought for and against Franco In the wake of the dispute over the memorial those leading the development of the museum the historian Javier Paniagua and the museologist Joan Santacana wrote in an open letter in February 2023 that they were no longer in contact with the government and had no information about the museum’s development “We have doubts that the future museum of Teruel will serve to confront a past that has conditioned and continues to condition Spanish society,” Paniagua and Santacana wrote Three UN human rights experts warned in a May letter that “concord” laws like Aragón’s could contravene Spain’s obligation to preserve historical violations of human rights because “they order the suppression of multiple entities websites and historical memory activities,” according to media reports They said the laws amount to “revisionism”; the Concord Law in Aragón refers The Teruel museum’s construction is advancing slowly; The Directorate of Culture of Aragón confirmed to The Art Newspaper that the functions and the content of the museum are being defined but it could not provide details on the methodology or the timeline the Spanish minister of territorial policy and democratic memory earlier this year announced that his ministry will cooperate with the Ministry of Culture to set up a national “centre-museum” dedicated to democratic memory in Madrid The government’s Democratic Memory Law mandates the creation of such a centre to “safeguard the dignity of the victims of the war and the dictatorship with their participation.” But sources close to the Ministry of Territorial Policy question the solidity of these plans pointing to a lack of coordination between the two ministries The Ministry of Territorial Policy did not respond to requests for information “Such a museum has not been announced by the ministry.” Spain has a few local museums dedicated to the Civil War closed its doors after 25 years due to a dispute with neighbours and a lack of funding There’s no global museum of the Spanish Civil War out there and it seems there’s not going to be one Antonio Cazorla-Sánchez, Trent University“There’s no global museum of the Spanish Civil War out there and it seems there’s not going to be one,” Cazorla-Sanchez says. “So the objective is to bring to the public the very complex history of the Civil War, incorporating a lot of personal stories.” Shubert says that though a national museum is not a prerequisite for the country to reckon with its legacy, “it would say something about the seriousness with which a society, represented by its government, is taking it.” But as long as there is no consensus on how to address that legacy, it might be impossible for a museum to function independently from politics.

development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects with a portfolio in Spain that exceeds 400,000 tons of annual SAF production Solarig announced plans for a new SAF production facility in Teruel named ‘Turboleta SAF,’ which will have an annual production capacity of over 75,000 tons of SAF—equivalent to 33,000 flights between Zaragoza and London (with a 50% SAF blend) The plant will be located in the Platea industrial park in Teruel and is expected to begin operations before 2030 with COP29 underway and the pressing need to reduce CO2 emissions Solarig highlights the importance of SAF in decarbonizing the aviation industry which is responsible for nearly 14% of global transportation-related CO2 emissions The ‘Turboleta SAF’ plant will help eliminate 340,000 tons of CO2 annually and capture and utilize 160,000 tons of CO2 each year The total investment in the project is estimated at €1.15 billion ‘Turboleta SAF’ will incorporate renewable energy assets connected to the plant The project will generate nearly 1,200 direct and indirect jobs with 1,000 positions during the construction phase and over 180 during operations stimulating local development and taking advantage of existing infrastructure commented: “This new facility positions Teruel as a leader in sustainable fuel production It taps into the region’s natural resources—sun and water—along with biogas and biogenic CO2 from local agro-livestock waste Supported by public entities at the national as well as top aviation industry companies this project is part of our broader Spanish portfolio which exceeds 400,000 tons of SAF annually.” The new facility will provide nearby airports with access to locally produced sustainable fuel It will play a major role in decarbonizing the aviation sector strengthening Teruel’s industrial ecosystem and improving quality of life by creating high-quality jobs in the Aragón region Solarig has submitted ‘Turboleta SAF’ to the “Incentive Program for Renewable Hydrogen Production and Consumption Projects (Clusters or Valleys),” launched by the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE) and supported by Next Generation EU resources This initiative aims to further Europe’s climate goals by promoting large-scale renewable hydrogen production and its derivatives ‘Turboleta SAF’ complements Solarig’s ‘Numantia SAF’ project in Soria as well as other projects throughout Spain which together will produce more than 400,000 tons of SAF annually This growth strengthens Solarig’s leadership in SAF infrastructure development leveraging its expertise and a circular approach through its Energy and Green Gas divisions and website in this browser for the next time I comment The solar power plant will be built on an area of 92 hectares near Samper de Calanda and Híjar and will not only protect the climate but also support local biodiversity Q ENERGY continues to expand its presence in the north of Spain and started construction of a new PV plant in the province of Teruel.The project will comprise more than 75,000 PV modules optimally positioned to the sun using tracking systems the system will produce as much carbon-free electricity as 23,000 Spanish households consume Q ENERGY is keen to accompany the development of this green energy facility with a broader environmental approach.This will involve adjusting the fences so that small animals can slip through them installing protective elements to prevent collisions and electrocution of birds and creating a green belt of hedges and plants around the site.  While nearby compensation areas are being adapted to the needs of steppe birds the measures on the site itself will focus on the reintroduction of the lesser kestrel New nest boxes and the restoration of the old field huts which are a favorite shelter and breeding ground for the birds will provide ideal conditions for the kestrels.  Head of Development at Q ENERGY Iberia says: “This is already the fifth Spanish project for which we can announce the start of construction this year and there will be more to come in the months ahead we will involve local companies to support the regional economy.”  the

initiatives The Fellowship provides recipients with the opportunity to gain an enhanced perspective on public policy issues related to nutrition and facilitates the acquisition of skills and tools necessary to become well-informed advocates for nutrition research and policy She is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Minority Health and Health Disparities Population Lab at the NIH National Heart I first got involved in nutrition science and research during my undergraduate studies in Dietetics & Nutrition in Brazil It was during this time that I served as an undergraduate research assistant in a project assessing the effects of Bolsa Família a Brazilian Government social welfare initiative aimed at providing conditional cash transfers to impoverished households to combat hunger particularly focusing on children’s malnutrition My responsibilities included conducting visits to evaluate children’s anthropometrics an experience that profoundly shaped my understanding of the challenges families encounter in accessing adequate nutrition my academic journey has been characterized by a steadfast interest in understanding the social determinants of health and their influence on nutrition Transitioning from my Master’s studies to my current postdoctoral research I have continually explored the intricate interplay between societal factors and nutritional well-being As I delve deeper into the intricacies of nutrition-related health disparities I increasingly recognize the profound impact of societal structures and the formulation of nutrition policies and laws on individual health outcomes My interest in nutrition policy stems from this profound realization I am driven by the conviction that the research conducted within our laboratories and workshops possesses the potential to drive positive change and promote health equity I am committed to leveraging evidence-based insights to advocate for policies that address the underlying social determinants of health fostering a more equitable and healthier society I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Minority Health and Health Disparities Population Laboratory within the National Heart  My research focuses on understanding the impact of social determinants of health on diet and cardiometabolic diseases I am currently working with the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) dataset specifically exploring the potential benefits of legumes in mitigating cardiometabolic diseases among Latino adults my work delves into examining how neighborhood food environment and social context acculturation influence legume consumption patterns within Latino communities In collaboration with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) I am involved in evaluating the global burden of disease with a particular focus on protein-energy malnutrition and mortality patterns across diverse racial/ethnic groups I am deeply interested in the study of Gestational Diabetes (GDM) and its intersection with physical and sociocultural environments particularly how these factors contribute to the risk profile for GDM among Latina populations My research endeavors aim to shed light on the complex interplay between social determinants particularly within marginalized and underserved communities Nutrition research has its fair share of hurdles these days the biggest one is figuring out how to do research that takes into account all the different factors that shape people’s eating habits I’m talking about everything from individual choices to how communities are set up and ever-broader societal structures we researchers usually get trained to focus on one specific area the real challenge for us nutrition folks is to think beyond our usual boundaries and tackle the complexity head-on especially in a world that’s always changing I’ve chosen to apply for the ASN Science Policy Fellowship program because I am interested in leveraging nutrition research to influence nutrition policy and prioritize initiatives that advance health equity While I haven’t had formal training or direct experience engaging with policymakers I’m enthusiastic about delving into the intricacies of policy development This opportunity presents a chance for me to gain insight into how these processes unfold and to expand my skill set in this arena As I explore potential science career paths in both government and non-government sectors the fellowship is a valuable avenue for networking and discovering various career opportunities within these realms It’s a chance for me to connect and gain a deeper understanding of the roles and impact that science can have in shaping policies that positively impact public health and well-being Attending the ASN’s annual meetings has been an incredible chance for me to stay on top of the latest research trends and connect with fellow professionals in the field I’ve found the webinars hosted by the Early Career Nutrition Interest group to be particularly enlightening The 2023 webinar on career paths beyond academia was especially insightful for me as a postdoc sparking new considerations for my future career trajectory I’ve found immense value in the ASN’s Health & Nutrition Policy newsletter It’s become my go-to resource for staying informed about pertinent policy changes It offers a quick and comprehensive overview of the developments shaping our field which is invaluable for professionals like myself looking to stay engaged and informed I’d like to encourage you to make the most of the incredible resources and opportunities available within the ASN community this is an exciting time to dive deep into the world of nutrition science and ASN provides a vibrant platform to learn and meetings organized by ASN to expand your knowledge and network with professionals in the field These avenues offer invaluable experiences and insights that can shape your journey in the nutrition field keep exploring new avenues within the realm of nutrition science and never underestimate the power of collaboration and mentorship I urge you to actively engage with the broader nutrition community and advocate for issues that matter to you Your voice and contributions are vital in driving positive change and advancing the field of nutrition for better public health and well-being The

the tower and church of San Pedro de Teruel; the church tower of San Martín de Teruel; the church tower of Salvador de Teruel; the apse and tower of the collegiate church of Santa María de Calatayud; the parish church of Santa Tecla de Cervera de la Cañada; the church of Santa María de Tobed; the surviving Mudéjar features of the Aljafería Palace of Zaragoza; the tower and parish church of San Pablo de Zaragoza; and the apse on account of the formal solutions adopted and the techniques and materials of construction employed as well as a vivid reflection of a moment in history when three cultures with very different roots flourished together on Aragonese soil Decorative motifs from a great variety of traditions can be seen in the ten monuments that make up this property including: Greco-Roman we can identify in these Aragonese monuments the rhombus-shaped mouldings (sebqa) as well as elements of construction characteristic of Islamic art such as alfiz panels Other structures employed include Almohade-style minarets for the belltowers and Moamar-style carved ceilings to cover various spaces and wood; all materials that are generally not very durable over time Such materials were used as to follow the Islamic philosophy that everything is transitory and impermanent but for Allah The ten inscribed component parts are the most representative and reflect best this particular historic and cultural phenomenon symbolising pacific cultural coexistence and the exchange of knowledge and experiences the monuments that make up this historical legacy are silent witnesses to a a key moment in the history of Spain Criterion (iv): The Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon is an eminently representative example of a type of construction with a unique technology developed over the course of several centuries (12th to 17th) thanks to the co-existence of cultures and the combination of forms and building methods employed by Christians through the exchange of their knowledge and experience It expresses the evolution of Mudéjar construction techniques in both structural and formal terms and symbolises the integration of a range of art forms (architecture and painting) as an aesthetic process of approximation to beauty Mudéjar architecture developed in a concrete time period that lasted from the time of the decision that permitted the Mudéjars to stay in the Kingdom of Aragon in the 12th century until their definitive expulsion at the beginning of the 17th The architectural forms and the unitary character of the Mudéjar tradition as a historical and cultural reality employ a wide range of techniques: painting and ceramics are preserved within the inscribed component parts The historical and social factors in the 17th century led to a decline of the Mudéjar tradition and its replacement by other artistic movements such as the Renaissance and Baroque artistic form survived from the 18th century until the present day giving rise to a new artistic style called Neomudéjar The nine religious buildings are still in use today and thus have been maintained and restored in an excellent state of conservation In the case of the Aljafería Palace of Zaragoza the use of part of the building for other functions did have an impact on large sections of the structure the Mudéjar section was the part that was least affected Due to the respectful restoration work carried out at the end of the last century Mudéjar architecture is particularly vulnerable to various causes of deterioration The continuous use of nine monuments by the Church and the use by the Parliament of Aragon of the Aljafería Palace as its Council Chamber ensures their continued conservation and overall protection from threats this continued use can also generate problems related to uncontrolled changes and alterations provisions in management and conservation plans are crucial to guarantee adequate conservation the component parts need to be considered in relation to the surrounding built environment Enforcement of regulatory measures that have been included in the respective cultural laws and urban planning tools will be essential to guarantee that the relationship between the monuments and their historic setting is maintained in the future Mudéjar art is the only style unique to Spain due to its particular historical trajectory The particular forms adopted and the exceptional techniques and materials of construction employed are evidence of the characteristics specific to the Mudéjar architecture of Aragon The decoration of these monuments is an additional documentation of Aragonese Mudéjar art as the vast majority of Aragonese Mudéjar roofs conserved are adorned with paintings This decoration features the usual heraldic and geometric motifs and narrative scenes of daily life during the Low Middle Ages This is the case of the roof of the cathedral of Santa María de Teruel where scenes relating to the traditional trades of carpentry representations of the various social strata (the king and other motifs illustrating medieval bestiary can be seen La Seo in Zaragoza and the church towers in Teruel written documents have been preserved that record the construction process and allow for the understanding of relevant details These documents also contain a large number of terms from Arabic which survive in the Castilian (Spanish) language and are another testament to its authenticity in a multicultural In the churches of Cervera de la Cañada and Tobed information was recorded on the monuments themselves masters in charge of their construction left proof of their work through two inscriptions Mudéjar architecture is recognized today as an art form in its own right It is represented by a series of historic monuments that have been largely conserved; their materials preserved through the use of appropriate techniques in all restoration works by respecting internationally established principles and maintaining the use and functions of the buildings as they were intended their location in historic settings and urban areas continues unaltered The urban zones in which the religious monuments are located conserve the characteristics of religious and political hubs within their metropolitan areas while the Aljafería Palace displays a setting that is consistent with the isolated environment within which it was originally constructed These conditions will need to be maintained through adequate protection of the settings in the ten component parts All component parts of the property were classified as “cultural properties” by the Spanish State Following the transfer of authority in the area of culture to the Autonomous Community of Aragon in 1983 the enactment of the Aragonese Cultural Heritage Law 3/1999 entailed that all such monuments were subject to a thorough review with a detailed description and precise definition of the movable elements and surrounding area in need of protection the component parts of the property are administered according to the general regulatory framework for the protection and conservation of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Cultural Heritage of Aragon two key elements are the reports issued by the Provincial Commissions of the Cultural Heritage Directorate and the supervision conducted by the technical staff of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of the Government of Aragon which carry out periodic inspections to the inscribed sites Although there are currently no benchmark indicators (such as the monitoring of humidity etc.) periodic comprehensive checks of the structural condition of the buildings are conducted (supporting beams as well as the decorative elements (frescos and the fixtures and fittings in each building training courses have been designed for the technical staff that works on the property in collaboration with the Central Office of the World Heritage Site Commission in Aragon and the various restoration training workshops and laboratories in Aragon (including the Aragon Restoration Laboratory courses for administrative staff and on-site workers equipment for the analysis of materials and diagnosis of problems the Government of Aragon provides the necessary means for the inscribed component parts and for other Mudéjar sites in the region with conservation and restoration as the main priority The need for maintenance and conservation work has prompted a series of technical interdisciplinary studies undertaken by the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of the Government of Aragon These resulted in the formulation of a Management Plan for the Mudéjar sites with particular attention to the ten inscribed components as well as comprehensive documentation to facilitate research and dissemination It is expected that conservation work will also be systematically analysed to better understand the historical evolution of these buildings For the purpose of raising awareness of the importance of Mudéjar architecture a plan for visits and field trips has been elaborated in collaboration with local bodies in order to improve various aspects of public information through with specialised training and publication of information material and the development of a feasibility study for visitors with reduced mobility to improve access to some areas Extension of the "Mudejar Architecture of Teruel" he’s since established himself as a formidable soloist – he was also the first recipient of the new ICMA Classeek Award Esteemed double bassist Michael Bladerer is one of today’s most respected and prolific classical musicians performing at the heart of the Vienna Philharmonic for two decades alongside residencies at the Vienna State Opera and Komische Oper Berlin Mentor and protégé – Bladerer and Teruel are pioneering talents pushing the boundaries of tradition MAT: It had to be a string instrument – the feeling of having the bow touching the strings felt like breathing to me I started the violin at the university in Vienna but I remember the teacher always had to lure me in with chocolate because I was always hiding under the piano [laughs] I always complained [the violin] was too small A year later we figured the cello would be a better fit for me so I played the cello for five years until I was ten Then I had an accident where I broke both of my arms at the same time and I couldn’t practice any more I became very famous in my school for that accident because the helicopter had to land and take me to hospital everyone could sign [my cast] and I was even on TV SHIRT BY HERMÈS FW23;

Most notably, without its support, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wouldn’t have been able to form the country’s first coalition government four years ago The party’s political strategy: It rejects conventional ideological debates and focuses on securing infrastructure and services for Teruel’s long-neglected constituents it has become a model for regional movements in other parts of so-called España vacía (“empty Spain”) — interior regions that have declined as the country’s population gravitated toward Madrid or prosperous coastal cities like Barcelona and Valencia As Spain heads to the polls Sunday movements like Teruel Existe are poised to make further gains in Spain’s increasingly fractioned political landscape With neither Sánchez’s Socialist Party nor the center-right Popular Party projected to gain outright majorities it may once again be up to parties like Teruel Existe to determine Spain’s political fortunes Geographically located in a fertile area halfway between four major Spanish cities — Madrid Zaragoza and Valencia — one can imagine a scenario in which Teruel could have been a major intersection for trade in the country’s northeast as centrally-minded authorities sought to link all of Spain’s territories to the central government in Madrid with highways railways and public service infrastructure the province was conspicuously sidestepped Driving across the countryside outside the province’s eponymous capital — which with just 35,900 inhabitants is the smallest in Spain — Guitarte pointed to a once handsome stone a brick train station that lies in ruins “That’s station was meant to service a railway line that was supposed to link Andalucía with France passing right through Teruel,” he said but they never bothered to put in the railway tracks … At some point they just changed their mind and abandoned it Guitarte said that during Francisco Franco’s dictatorship that the rare national politician who bothered to drop in on Teruel would only do so to remind local communities that they were condemned to go extinct “At a speech at a school here in the 1970s an education minister told us it was important for us to study hard so that way we’d add value to the other Spanish regions to which we’d inevitably migrate,” he recalled Spain’s transition to democracy didn’t dampen the national disdain toward rural Teruel Fed up with the systematic neglect, in 1999 locals formed the Teruel Existe movement named to ironically emphasize the province’s invisibility within Spain.  Guitarte said that the movement stood out from the country’s Basque or Catalan regional parties because it had never flirted with separatism and always identified itself with Spain For more polling data from across Europe visit POLITICO Poll of Polls “We’re not asking for anything special for us, just to be treated the same as everyone else, as is guaranteed by the Spanish Constitution, which explicitly lists territorial balance and equal opportunities as fundamental principles.” even as the movement swelled in membership Guitarte said that its success was limited “Politicians were delighted to meet with us nod vigorously when we expressed our demands decry the sorry state of things,” he said “But that was it: They’d pose for a picture and not actually do anything to address our needs.” The turning point came four years ago, when Spain held elections that resulted in a hung parliament. As the country prepared to hold a new vote, Teruel Existe decided to evolve from a popular movement to a political party Forging additional deals throughout this legislature “What’s most surprised me about the people in the parliament is that when we have to try to address a problem the big political parties are usually only interested in seeing how they can use that challenge to attack their opponents,” he said “We just want to solve problems and sometimes people react badly when you don’t agree to join them on the attack.” Guitarte has stepped aside to let 27-year-old Diego Loras take his spot as the candidate The move is meant to highlight the long-term projection of the party and its ultimate goal of making Spain’s interior regions a viable alternative for the country’s younger generations At a campaign rally in the village of Alfambra said that he was representative of so many other Turolenses who had been obliged to leave their homeland to attend university because their field of study was not offered at any of the centers located within the province Some nine in 10 of his graduating class moved away to study you generally get an internship in that far-off city and it just becomes much more difficult to ever come back home,” he said “We shouldn’t have to abandon our province in order to get an education and build a life.” With polls indicating that he will almost certainly secure a seat in the next legislature Loras said that he would continue pressing for the key services lacking in Teruel “Right now there isn’t a single place in this province where someone can receive radiotherapy so people with cancer have to travel three hours to Zaragoza and then travel three hours to get back home,” he said we pay taxes here … How can we be forced to live in these conditions?” Teruel Existe’s success has inspired parties like Soria ¡Ya! (Soria Now) which has sprung up to promote the rights of Spain’s least-populated province Party leader Ángel Ceña said that local communities across Spain had understood that political representation was key to “obtaining the essential things we need to survive.” “There are parts of Soria where you can’t even get a television signal so you can imagine how it is with the internet: It hasn’t even made it to some towns,” he said a high-speed connection is as essential to citizens as electricity and running water was in the 1960s … It’s shameful that it continues to be inaccessible in this region.” a political scientist at Madrid’s Carlos III university said that Spain’s polarized political landscape made it a good moment to be a regional party “Spain is fragmented right now: There is no single right and that volatile context in which absolute majorities don’t exist means that smaller parties can gain unprecedented relevance,” he said Simón added that Spain’s electoral laws meant that thresholds for securing seats in the national parliament were relatively low in less populated parts of the country a party needs around 100,000 votes to secure a seat in parliament but in a place like Soria you can get by with around 18,000 votes; if Soria ¡Ya performs as well as it did in the regional elections Given the tightness of the election regional parties could hold the key to the next Spanish government.  there’s virtually no scenario in which Sánchez can govern without their support if the Popular Party wins enough seats in parliament smaller parties could help it secure a minority government without having to rely on the far-right Vox party Teruel Existe’s Guitarte said that a hypothetical Popular Party-Vox coalition would never have his support “Vox is against everything we stand for: It defends a centralized state, wants to eliminate regional governments, pretends to support farmers but then supports deviating rivers to funnel water from the interior elsewhere,” he said. “Moreover, the party’s approach to gender-based violence and other issues is completely incompatible with us.” democracy and plurality; the bare minimum for making a deal with us is respecting those values,” he added ideologically opposed European politicians are united in their ban of the practice Residents are demanding a role in the reconstruction of their cities People rarely think about Europe’s criss-crossing energy system what went wrong (and right) on Monday and what happens next “This has never happened before,” said Sánchez warning it may take longer than expected to restore power Frontier first  between Muslim and Christian Spain Teruel was afterwards a strategic scenario of the Civil War In the winter of 1937-1938 the city staged one of the bloodiest wars of the conflict in which a large part of the historic center was destroyed but that the Mudejar towers – on the World Heritage List since 1986 –miraculously survived the monumental neo-Mudejar stairway that since 1920 links the train station with the urban center and other buildings with which the architects of Regiones Devastadas (Devastated Regions) reconstructed Teruel after the war are part of its western facade along the banks of the river Turia In 2001 the General Council of Aragón called an international competition that aimed to improve as much the urban image of this complex as the connection between the station and the center It also suggested potentiating the balcony of the Paseo del Óvalo as a viewpoint and to restore the spaces around the stairway the project carried out extends a stone strip of two meters and a half in width and one hundred and twenty in length that leads the travellers from the station to an enormous vertical cavity open in the wall Through it one reaches two elevators – each one of them for a maximum of thirteen people – which allow to surmount the unevenness of 17 meters until one reaches the Paseo del Óvalo The cavity takes on a funneled shape that manages to tense the access space in such a way that it is this shape and the discovery of a column of light coming from the upper part what guides the travellers on their itinerary Core ten steel clads the opening – the white concrete foreseen in the initial project was given up – while a combination of paving and steel shapes the aedicule that looks over the promenade an austere small square brings out the scenographic qualities of the stairway The project aims to maintain the relevance of this neo-Mudejar staircase in the urban fabric historically the most important physical link between the lower part of the city - where the train station is located - and the Paseo del Óvalo Its scale and monumental presence create a bridge with the historic centre that maintains continuity between the different levels of the city through the spaces and levels of transition offered by its large dimensions The creation of a new civic square provides an appropriate framework for this monument The project defines a new gate to the city Through a 120 meter long and 2,5 meter wide stone carpet the travellers who leave the train station cross a tree-lined space and enter the wall The Paseo del Óvalo project is above all an exercise of urban development one which does not compromise the existing Eliminating the parking lot here has allowed to ensure more space for strollers The ground surface has been homogeneized with stone paving placed both on the position lights that delimit the area for traffic and on the lower part of the stone benches the wall parapet and the facade of the promenade emphasizes the entrance of light and leads to the two elevators that span the 17 meter unevenness between the wall’s footing and Paseo del Óvalo’s balcony David Chipperfield Architects;
