Let's do an exercise. If we refer to Concha Alós, who recognizes this name? And to introduce her, which title sounds more familiar: that of former partner of the writer and journalist Baltasar Porcel or that of double winner of the Planeta prize in the midst of Francoism (a merit that she alone holds, by the way). The moment of change she had to live through, the sexist punishment, and her Alzheimer's contributed to the fact that today we still do not study Alós the same way as her contemporaries of the Mid-Century Generation –that of the 50s or the Children of the War–, such as Carmen Martín Gaite, Ana María Matute, and Carmen Laforet, and much less than them, Camilo José Cela, Juan Marsé, and the Goytisolo brothers. Alós was born in Valencia in 1922, lived in Palma in the 50s, and died in Barcelona in 2011, where she would have ended up buried in a mass grave if it hadn't been for the fact that she had a very good friend: Maria del Mar Bonet.

Vueling carries nearly a million passengers each year between Menorca and Barcelona, ​​but is cutting its flight frequencies because it claims the numbers don't add up. Even so, the route carries three times the traffic of the other busiest routes to Menorca Airport: Palma and Madrid, which handle close to 390,000 and 380,000 passengers, respectively. Both routes are maintained during the winter thanks to a subsidy from the Ministry of Transport, which declared them Public Service Obligations (PSOs) to guarantee the minimum necessary frequencies. Now, the unexpected reduction in connectivity with Barcelona—up to 36% compared to last year—has reignited the debate. Is the PSO the solution to protect the most essential air connection for Menorcans?

Two young Mallorcans have gone viral in recent hours for their "courage and determination" when they confronted and overpowered a man who was sexually assaulting women on a train traveling between Valencia and Barcelona.
