Night trains in 2009 and 2022, in Spain and Portugal In Spain, the night train route map is bleak, and the pandemic dealt the final blow. The Spanish railway company RENFE dispensed with its last four night trains in 2020 and is not considering reopening them or launching others. And they claim that they are not profitable.

But the situation is changing, at least in Europe, and Spain and Portugal have to join the change. European night trains network In Europe things are being done differently. 2024 will bring good news for travelers

Monterrei The Monterrei Castle, today converted into a Hotel-Parador According to the Royal Spanish Academy of Language (RAE), the word gastronomy is born from the union of two Greek words: gastros (stomach) and nomos (knowledge). In a strict sense, its object is culinary art and enjoyment, the relationship between preparing, serving and consuming food.

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) is turning into a circus with the excuse of saving the climate. It is celebrated these days in the United Arab Emirates, one of the largest oil producers in the world and which has also been increasing its production over the years. To the accusations of wanting to take advantage of the summit to close oil and gas agreements with at least 15 countries is added to the fact that the president of COP28 is an oil magnate and that, as already happened at

Another fight over oil. Venezuela against Guyana. The big fish wants to eat the small one because of his resources. Reference lines of the controversy The oil industry, despite being condemned by the environmental sectors of society, continues to advance in an attempt to recover oil from where it was previously impossible.

With the climate problem that the world has due to the consumption of fossil fuels, oil companies continue searching for oil, and every time they find it, they generate a new conflict that confronts several countries. Now it’s Guyana’s turn. What Latin America was missing was a war between Venezuela, Guyana and who knows who else, (in addition to Exxon Mobi

​Evolution of Oil demand based on the different scenarios 2,000–2,050 The invasion of Ukraine has caused the oil majors to be experiencing a golden age. The price of a barrel of Brent once again traded above $100 for the first time since the fracking boom sank prices.

According to the 2023 Production Gap Report, globally, governments plan to
