Albert Solaz had been working as a chef for 15 years when he arrived in Menorca. A large part of his career had revolved around vegetarian, healthy, and sustainable food: he ran workshops, worked with local produce, and looked for different ways of understanding cuisine. On the island, however, there was an ingredient that particularly surprised him: xeixa wheat.

The Government presented this Wednesday the Strategic Project Accelerator Unit (UAPE), with which it aims to reduce bureaucracy and facilitate the processing of projects that diversify the islands' economic model. "A red carpet for investment," stated the President of the Executive, Marga Prohens, after presenting the UAPE to unions, the business sector, and professional associations at Ca n'Oleo, reported Europa Press. The Governing Council will approve the decree law that will regulate the operation of this body on Friday.
