Academy0-1: Decisive goal sends UD Almería 'B' top of the tableThe UDA Academy prospects defeated CF Villanovense to place themselves as Segunda RFEF Group IV leaders they host Linares Deportivo on the Anexo pitch In an at once urban and peripheral position the new Congress and Exhibition Center reflects a dual nature in two senses: on the one hand the program is concealed in a partially buried ring that adapts to the terrain and to the boundaries of the plot; on the other a bold cubic volume rises giving the whole complex visibility and absorbing the necessary volume to house the stage box It is introverted and neutral in its earthy materiality because it seeks vantage views from the roof terraces and also wishes to be seen as an element wrapped in a skein of ropes Burrowing part of the program has allowed to generate large green public spaces: a big park a parking area and a sloping plaza that functions as an entrance to the complex and also as outdoor auditorium a crack opens up around a large plaza that is accessed through a ramp; on the other The lobby maintains a tight relationship with the outdoor space congress closings and small talks and lectures The space can also be subdivided into three closed lecture rooms The screen columns can serve exhibition purposes as well There is a large continuous public space consisting of the lobby and exhibition gallery which are joined to close the ring with a services and installations area that includes dressing rooms divided into three floors the building has a great thermal inertia thanks to the concrete walls and the green roof; on the other it is a large threshold that acts as a ventilated tower parched natural environment during several months of the year; but its underground interior spaces show a more artificial freshness The whole itinerary through the lobby that gives access to the halls is accompanied by a taut mirror of white fabric that reflects a more unreal context The auditoriums are built with different pieces of light green polycarbonate an underwater world without a specific size The center harbors one auditorium for 800 spectators and another for 275 and which can be used at the same time depending on the event The top floor restaurant becomes a watchtower over the landscape The materials chosen reflect the ambiguous and dual character: outside they mimic the dry context – the hue of concrete while the polycarbonate of the halls conveys an aquatic The building adapts to the climate conditions of the area proposing a low-energy use and simple maintenance and seeks offering the best services program in versatile spaces of adequate proportions The project adapts to the economic context in which it was developed adjusting the building process in order to comply with the tight budget The new Congress Center is a quiet volume that wishes to go unnoticed but that lights up at night to be seen from afar like a beacon in the dry sea of Campo de la Vega José Luis Gómez /adobearquitectura (arquitectos técnicos quantity surveyors); Gilberto Ruiz (maquetista models) Jacinto Ruiz Carmona / Mecanismo (ingeniería estructuras structural engineering); Rafael Úrculo Sergio Rodríguez / Úrculo Ingenieros (ingeniería instalaciones mechanical engineering); Higini Arau - Arau Acústica (acústica acoustics) ­ Placonsa / Eloy Montero (director de producción production manager); Julio Oreja (jefe de obra site supervision); Daisalux (iluminación de emergencia emergency lighting) there arent any match using your search terms Sign up for our daily Newsletter and stay up to date with all the latest news You are receiving this pop-up because this is the first time you are visiting our site You are using software which is blocking our advertisements (adblocker) we are relying on revenues from our banners So please disable your adblocker and reload the page to continue using this site.Thanks a hailstorm was recorded in Vegas Altas del Guadiana which took a toll on various crops in the towns of Don Benito and Villanueva de la Serena some nectarine and plum orchards have been affected most of which were in the flower thinning phase "Several plots of land have been affected by the hailstorm although only a few specific locations appear to have suffered damages," said Miguel Ángel Gómez Managing Director of the Fruit Growers Association of Extremadura "We are still evaluating the impact of the storm in the affected areas The hail was small in size and had a lesser or greater impact depending on the area." the impact is not significant," said José María Naranjo "We are more concerned about the impact that excess rainfall could have on the quality of the fruit which is why we'll have to invest and pay close attention to the health of stone fruit crops in the field." Frontpage photo: © Ionel Vinatoru | Dreamstime FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com a small plaza in the small city of Villanueva de la Serena will echo with the sound of mixing concrete and masonry tools Workers will not be repairing infrastructure or constructing a new building but rather erecting a large piece of art celebrating Villanueva’s unique and delicious claim to fame Historical research has determined that the tortilla de patatas one of Spain’s most legendary and culturally important foods and the construction project scheduled for next spring will be a €20,000 monument to the dish which resembles a dense quiche and is served in triangular slices called pinchos will be memorialized in Villanueva via a giant concrete slice from which a metal fork will extend fifteen feet into the air the local government’s Deputy Head of Cultural Affairs says she hopes to have the monument done in time to be inaugurated at the city’s 2018 tortilla festival which packs Villanueva’s maze-like streets for three days each June Local sculptor Antonio Ramos Calderon will be paid €3,000 for his design one of the many accolades he’s received during his artistic career “I didn’t betray my artistic sensibilities [in creating the monument],” Calderon says “I wanted to do something more classically artistic yet contemporary The fork will look like a drawing made in the air.” Calderon’s design was the winner of a 2017 contest hosted by Villanueva’s government designed to “promote and spread the Villanuevan origin of the tortilla.” Entries came in from all over the Iberian Peninsula the judges selected a local artist’s entry in a blind selection process Calderon previously completed a monument to the Villanuevan who conquered what would become Chile and said he is honored to memorialize a part of Spanish culture that doesn’t have so much historical baggage The surreal and elegant sculpture will help cement—literally—Villanueva’s cultural importance “The tortilla is said to have come from all over Spain but we have it documented!” Lozano says “Now everyone associates it with Villanueva and we’re just making it official.” Villanueva de la Serena is a town of around 26,000 people located in Extremadura an agricultural state in southwestern Spain Villanueva was founded in the 13th century and has all the accoutrements of a traditional Iberian village: fountains The tortilla is everywhere in Spain—any establishment that serves food has the tortilla as one of its staples A finished tortilla is a little smaller than a dinner plate and is almost always comprised of only four ingredients: potatoes (Onions are the most common exception to this rule.) To make a tortilla the potatoes are cut thin and softened in hot oil before being tossed with beaten eggs This mixture is fried in oil on both sides and the heat solidifies everything into a crust-less potato pie a good tortilla is simultaneously light and filling a comfort food that is the perfect accompaniment to everything from espresso to gazpacho to jamón serrano López Linage uncovered what is so far the earliest mention of the dish by Villanueva landowners Marquis of Robledo and Joseph de Tena Godoy y Malfoy who were looking for a filling but inexpensive way to feed their serfs They worked alongside local cooks and perfected the potato and egg mix into a tortilla that resembled the tortillas of today “The tortilla is one of the most democratic foods in Spain,” Calderon says “People from all strata of society enjoy it as a national tradition.” López Linage said that the tortilla creates “more cohesion in Spain than the constitution.” But the potato is not native to the country Salaman explains in The History and Social Influence of the Potato the tuber originated in South America and was grown there for thousands of years The Spanish conquistadors encountered hundreds of varieties of potatoes as they marauded across the continent and they recorded their impressions of the strange food Pedro de la Cienza de Leon wrote in 1538 that potatoes were like truffles but with less-firm skin and produced a pulp like roasted chestnuts when cooked Another chronicler wrote that the potato helped people of the highlands of Peru live well past the age of 100 while others contended that it likely caused leprosy More than one scribe noted that the potato causes serious flatulence while Gaspar Bouhin wrote in 1619 that potatoes “excite Venus and augment the semen.” In any case and the tuber’s first appearance in Spain is pegged at around 1570 The potato was initially considered a luxury because it was difficult to adapt to the Spanish climate But cultivation was widespread by the late 17th century and the potato is credited with ameliorating widespread hunger at the time the Spanish tortilla was developed for the same reason (The Villanuevans were hardly the first to put these ingredients together—people in South America had been doing this for generations—but the tortilla was a novel creation in Spain.) the tortilla ranks with flamenco and paella in giving Spain its international renown which is why Villanueva’s government jumped at the chance to tout its relationship to the food Spain is in the midst of an ongoing economic crisis and thus the idea of spending €20,000 on a sculpture was met with some disapproval (Villanueva’s unemployment rate is around 10 percent.) But Lozano says that more or less the whole community is behind the idea to build it some of the biggest disagreements were over the design itself Calderon’s design “wasn’t my favorite,” she says but she’s pleased the winner ended up being from town Food origin stories are notoriously hard to track down—an earlier recipe could surface somewhere in the archives of another small town But in a testament to people’s desire to link themselves to food history Villanueva is already committed to staking its claim to the tortilla During Villanueva’s annual tortilla festival in 2015 chefs set a record for the world’s largest tortilla de patatas by cooking one up with 3,700 eggs That giant tortilla was sliced into 3,500 servings and a giant tortilla monument will soon preside over the creation of future gargantuan tortillas at Villanueva’s festivals Calderon’s monument design doubles as a bench Visitors and townspeople can sit and reflect on the tortilla’s history and the small town where it got its start “The bench is the base of the sculpture and the tortilla is the base of our culture,” she says “The tortilla is going to be associated with Villanueva de la Serena forever.” We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the world’s hidden wonders Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month Follow us on Twitter to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders Like us on Facebook to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page the Vuelta a España has now drawn to a close finishing in Santiago de Compostela with its spectacular cathedral as a backdrop Israel Start-Up Nation rounded out the three week adventure through Spain with their heads held high despite suffering endless bouts of bad luck and countless crashes that saw five of their riders abandon the race the moral and motivation to keep trying never deterred leaving the final three men battling to the very last metres “Obviously it was a challenging Vuelta for the boys and the team in general We finished with just three soldiers as we were unlucky throughout the three weeks with repeated crashes it was a great chance for a lot of the team and then Sebastian (Berwick) Guy (Niv) and James (Piccoli) in the final phase of the race to really have a free card and take their opportunities when they could It’s a special thing to finish a Grand Tour and especially for Seb as it was his first one it was possibly his best Grand Tour performance yet and James has really stepped up from last year the fact that they were able to do that and tough it out through less than ideal circumstances They should all be proud of themselves for fighting through it we went into the race aiming for stage results and GC hopes happened and now we just need to keep looking and moving forward from here.” showcasing Israel Start Up Nation’s 21 days of racing across some of Spain’s most challenging STAGE 3SANTO DOMINGO DE SILOS > PICON BLANCO STAGE 4EL BURGO DE OSMA > MOLINA DE ARAGON STAGE 8SANTA POLA > LA MANGA DEL MAR MENOR STAGE 9PUERTO LUMBRERAS > ALTO DE VELEFIQUE TIGNES STAGE 10ROQUETAS DE MAR > RINCON DE LA VICTORIA STAGE 13BELMEZ > VILLANUEVA DE LA SERENA STAGE 15NAVALMORAL DE LA MATA > EL BARRACO STAGE 21 – ITTPADRON > SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA © 2025 Factor Bikes.

the Asturian technician come the end of the season. what is the minimum the coach must achieve this season in order not to be sacked he must win a trophy—although there are a few caveats if Barcelona were sent crashing out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals but went on to win the domestic division for a second year running provided performances in La Liga and the Champions League were still strong—say second place and a semi-final defeat—then it would be hard for Josep Maria Bartomeu and Co to wave goodbye to the man who brought them the treble last season Emilio Morenatti/Associated PressIt’s even possible for the manager to end up with nothing and keep his job provided at a bare minimum they reached the Champions League semi-final Copa del Rey final and finished a hair’s breadth behind the La Liga winners Normally that would not be enough for a Barcelona coach to stay Luis Enrique has a few factors in his favour—or but which are reasonable excuses for failure The primary one is FIFA’s ban on the club registering players which has left them unable to add to the squad that won the treble despite some significant departures at the end of the previous season By losing Xavi Hernandez to Al-Sadd in Qatar and Pedro Rodriguez to Chelsea Matt Dunham/Associated PressNeither of those two players would be in the club’s strongest XI last season but they were the next in line to join the team then it wouldn’t have had a negative impact just three of those players have been available throughout the season Rakitic and Busquets have managed to avoid injury or disciplinary woes Sergei Grits/Associated PressBarcelona have signed Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal but are unable to register them until January Luis Enrique can certainly make a case that he has not been able to put out his best Barcelona side yet and by then it might be too late for some of the other players who may have run themselves into the ground Furthermore, the coach has asked to sign Celta Vigo’s Nolito, per Sport but the club’s financial situation dictates that they must look for a cheaper option if they want to add extra firepower in January So the minimum achievement of winning a trophy has several get-out clauses which Lucho can use in his favour if he needs to and the way Barcelona have kept pace with Madrid at the top of the table thus far The agricultural organizations Apag Extremadura Asaja and the Association of Farmers and Ranchers of Villanueva de la Serena (Agryga) criticized the tomato prices imposed by the industry in 2025 Farmers consider that the 107 euros per ton price is "ruinous" and endangers the sector's economic viability in the region the tomato sector's situation in the region is unbearable and could lead to producers abandoning this crop which would affect the sector's sustainability and rural employment He also said that producers were selling at a loss because producing a ton of tomatoes costs 128 euros and farmers were only being paid 107 euros per ton when the industries paid 130 euros and the cooperatives 150 euros per ton implies the sector is losing 43 million euros Metidieri criticized the ineffectiveness of the Food Chain Law "The law requires the autonomous communities to publish production costs He demanded sanctions for companies that impose prices below production costs Metidieri denounced that Chinese tomatoes are entering the European market at low prices and that they harm Spanish producers "It's not fair that our farmers compete under unequal conditions," he stated The agricultural organizations are proposing measures to guarantee the sector's survival: setting a minimum price that covers production costs maintaining last year's prices; effectively applying the Food Chain Law to avoid abusive prices; limiting tomato imports from third countries to protect the domestic market; and approving direct aid for affected producers tomato production in Extremadura will be in danger The agricultural organizations plan to intensify their demands and mobilizations to demand answers "We'll continue to fight until the countryside is guaranteed a decent future," Metidieri stated The resolution of this crisis will depend on the political will and the sector's capacity to unite in defense of its interests Uncertainty persists for Extremadura's tomato producers who expect concrete measures to stop the debacle of their activity Source: agronewscastillayleon.com Frontpage photo: © MartinBergsma | Dreamstime FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 HortiDaily.com In July 2022, it will be five

well-deserved victory in Friday’s chaotic bunch sprint Sénéchal is currently building for the World Championships and Paris-Roubaix at the Vuelta a España this year.  Sénéchal revealed to reporters after his stage victory that he is also the Belgian team’s Plan B for Vuelta bunch sprints when double stage winner Fabio Jakobsen is not feeling on top of his game “He radioed through to me with two kilometres to go to say he wasn’t going to be able to go for it and that I had my chance,” Sénéchal said minutes after adding his first-ever Grand Tour stage win to the two northern semi-Classics already in his palmares "He said on the radio he had a flat tyre or something and said 'Florian you can sprint' I eased back as best I could and then went for it at about 200 metres from the line.” Second in the E3 Harelbeke Classic this spring Sénéchal said he had done a lot of sprint training over the summer to try and be in form “for the Vuelta and from there for the Worlds and Roubaix," he said But this is my reward for all my hard work.” Sénéchal explained that although there are a large number of sprinters in the Deceuninck-QuickStep roster he still has his options when it comes down to a mass dash for the line “Fabio is maybe the fastest of us all Davide Ballerini … I’m maybe the fourth or fifth In terms of pure numbers I’m less strong than a Fabio or Ballerini or Alvaro Hodeg

Villanovense, the visit of Barça will be a special day for midfielder Francisco Sánchez Curiel ‘Curro’, who spent part of his teenage years in the U16 and U19 sides at La Masia where he was a team mate of former blaugrana keepers Pepe Reina and Víctor Valdés. Jose Ruiz Cutillas ‘Casi’ is top scorer for Julio Cobos’ side in the competition with three goals, all coming in the win over Peña Sport in the round before last. In his traditional pre-game press conference on Tuesday at the Ciutat Esportiva, Luis Enrique revealed that he would have liked to have selected more B team players in the squad were it not for Cup regulations regarding eligibility: "We are limited in the number of Barça B players that we can use. I would like more players to rest, but that's what the rule is and it has to be followed." Luis Enrique’s team have won their last nine matches in the Copa del Rey, culminating in the victory over Athletic Bilbao last season in the final at Camp Nou. The victory over Eibar at the weekend in the league keeps them level on points with leaders Real Madrid and was their third consecutive victory following on from the recent international break. Villanovense currently sit in 11th place in the regionalised third tier of Spanish Football, the Segunda B, there they compete in Group 4. Julio Cobo’s side have lost just once in their last five matches and to reach the last 32 in the Cup they have disposed of Navarran club Peña Sport and Galicians Racing Club Ferrol. The two side have never met before with Villanovense never having made it out of the Segunda B in their short history. Last season they reached the play offs after finishing fourth in the league but missed out on a chance to gain promotion to the Segunda A with defeat in the first round. Barça have met teams from the region of Extremadura on two previous occasions in the Copa del Rey, each time coming through without problems: Don Benito in 1930/31 and Mérida in 1997/98.

There’s no clear urgency, but the recommendation that has been given to the board is this and they are working to sign a special player. The board is not opposed to the idea and will study the options, but the budget is nearly nothing. There will be no extravagance until June.  it’s noted Barca’s technical secretary Robert Fernandez has met with “various agents” of “interesting players.” Miguelsanz claims that with money so tight the club may even look at a loan deal in order to get targets in adding an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the term Despite sitting pretty atop La Liga heading into this weekend’s massive clash with Real Madrid the possibility of not spending any money in January will be a concern to some Barcelona fans the likes of Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal will add some welcome relief in the January window when they’re permitted to join the group but the Blaugrana are light in a lot of areas LLUIS GENE/Getty ImagesAs noted by Spanish football expert Sergi Dominguez it’s worrying for the Camp Nou club that the Blaugrana don’t have depth to compete with sides who are in a much less privileged financial position: A loan deal may be the way forward for Barcelona in January with that in mind; if things do go well the Blaugrana have isolated the versatile midfielder as a potential transfer target The La Liga giants are said to be running the rule over a host of Serie A stars as they seek to add to their squad and they see Florenzi as the “perfect fit for the team.” Here’s a look at what the 24-year-old is capable of: .css-az13ih{width:100%;aspect-ratio:3/2;border:none;}There’d definitely be value in signing someone like Florenzi as was evident by his remarkable long-range strike against Barcelona earlier in the season he’s someone capable of producing the spectacular The Italy international is having an exceptional season filling in at right-back for the majority of the term Gabriele Maltinti/Getty ImagesHe’d be unwise to jump at the chance of moving to Barcelona and while that’s allowed Florenzi the opportunity to flourish it’s not something he’d be afforded at the Camp Nou he is one of a few players in this current squad that have a strong bond with the region and the supporters When Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi do eventually hang up their boots the Giallorossi faithful will turn to Florenzi to be the heartbeat of this team a challenge you suspect he'll be keen to take on How do you like yours… with onion or without the number of possibilities with a potato omelette are almost endless it's just a matter of taste and imagination The popularity of the tortilla de patatas is so widespread the dish now has its own day in the international calendar of special events • Giant-sized omelettes made by a Ukrainian chef in Malaga province The potato omelette can be served as an appetiser but how it originally came about is still unknown Some theories suggest that it was invented in 1604 by a Belgian priest others claim the Spanish origin of this staple dish in Spain and point out that it was invented in Extremadura in the town of Villanueva de la Serena at the end of the 18th century in 1798 And in this municipality the tortilla is a very precious commodity and in summer they hold a fair with this dish as the centre of attraction Although numerous ingredients can be added these are three pillars of the dish: fresh eggs It is recommended to use specific pans to prepare the dish and make sure that the tortilla fits snuggly in the pan the omelette should be well protected with a thick cloth Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados [[DES_1]]‘CF Villanovense will play FC Barcelona’ the roar of delight could probably have been heard some 130 kilometres away in Portugal The squad had gathered to follow the live draw for the last 32 of the Copa del Rey in the home side’s dressing room at the Romero Cuerda Stadium via the Spanish Football Federation’s website the squad and club officials pouring out on the pitch to crack open the champagne to celebrate what will be the biggest day in CF Villanovense’s history since its foundation in 1992 The last 32 of the Copa del Rey is traditionally when the top teams enter the competition and so for smaller clubs like CF Villanovense who play in Spain’s regionalised third tier of football it is an opportunity to dream of a tie against top flight opposition Victories against Peña Sport and Racing Ferrol put the club from the town of Villaneuva de la Serena into the draw and the rest Club president José Maria Tapia was in the dressing room with the squad when the draw brought his team together with Barça: “For us it was an immensely joyous moment whilst we are one of the most modest teams in the Segunda B The man who leads the board at the club is unable to overestimate the importance of the visit of the blaugranes to a CF Villanovense who are yet to make it to Spain’s second tier of football “For our city it is an historic event because we have not made it out of the Segunda B We expect a huge influx of fans both of CF Villanovense and FC Barcelona.” The tie against the current Copa del Rey champions has served to strengthen the links between the football club and the town: “The Club has always had a good relationship with the community but now anyone from here identifies more with Villanovense…on every corner people are talking about the match.” One of the beauties of football is that it throws up these occasions when a club with an annual budget of 300,000 Euros gets the chance to measure up to one of the biggest clubs in the world president Tapia is keeping his feet on the ground: “Our dream is to keep on the path we set for ourselves when we took over the club That is none other than to pay our employees on time and to be able to sleep at night.” On every corner people are talking about the match Knowing that Barça fans from all over the world will be focusing on the town of Villanueva de la Serena and Villanovense on Wednesday evening at 8.30pm CET Tapia is keen to present to a wider public a true picture of  “a modest club who try to things in the right way This humility and the ability to take things as they come without losing our head has given us the chance to enjoy a place in the promotion play offs to the Segunda A last season for the very first time and now the chance to welcome none other than FC Barcelona.” The Dutchman was dropped by his own lead-out train in the final Fabio Jakobsen admitted he didn’t have the legs to follow his lead-out train on stage 13 of the Vuelta a España.  The Dutchman was the favourite to take the sprint on the flat run from Belmez to Villanueva de la Serena having already won two stages in this year’s race But in the rapid run to the finish, Jakobsen’s Deceuninck - Quick-Step team-mates set a blistering pace through the roundabouts and sharp turns stringing the bunch out with 3km to ride.  At the 2.5km mark Deceuninck caused a split near the front of the bunch on a fast right-hand turn with Jakobsen forced to close down too many gaps leaving his lead-out to fight for the victory with Florian Sénéchal doing the job in Jakobsen’s place While Sénéchal said after the finish he believed his sprinter had suffered a puncture in the final Jakobsen has now revealed he just didn’t have the legs to keep up with his train Jakobsen said: “I tried to close the gap but I couldn’t.  “I didn’t have the legs to sprint so I told Florian he should do the sprint.”  It was a remarkable turnaround for Deceuninck who have been phenomenally consistent in the sprint stages at this Vuelta who is still leading the points classification after the stage already has two stage wins and two second-place finishes to his name in this race.  He now leads the points competition by 86 points over Magnus Cort But the Vuelta’s brutal final week could turn the tables as the Spanish Grand Tour traditionally favours the climbers in the points classification Primož Roglič is currently third in the green jersey race on 106 points which means it could be a close fight for the jersey in the final week.  Thank
