Andalusia speaks English this week

The corners of the power centers in Andalusia give a lot of themselves, especially if one is in the right place and at the right time:

In the USA

Through the corners of sevillian countryside The results of the North American elections are awaited with special expectation, although with little hope that the attitude of the White House towards the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump and maintained by Joe Biden to the black olives of this province. This Andalusian product was the leader in the US (it is used in slices for pizzas, hamburgers and salads) until they punished it with those taxes that World Trade Organization (OMC) has been considered illegal, but which the North American administration continues to impose without the European Union raise your voice clearly. The losses in these years for Sevillian black olives (this province is the largest producer in the world) already exceed 300 million euros.

A Gibraltar

Through the corners of Algeciras, The Line, Saint Roch and other municipalities in the region, we live with concern as the days pass without an agreement being reached between the governments of Spain y United Kingdom on the integration of the British colony into the Schengen area behind him Brexit. After four years of negotiation, the EU forces to impose as of this Sunday, November 10, the border controlwhich will complicate life for more than 15,000 workers from Campo de Gibraltar who cross the “gate” (currently non-existent) daily to work on the Rock. All parties trust in an agreement in extremis, but none wants to give in on the multiple red lines that this complex situation has that has lasted for three centuries.

A new edition of the great tourist fair is being held this week in the corners of the British capital World Travel Marketto which the president of the Junta de Andalucía finally did not attend, Juanma Morenonor the Tourism Minister, Arturo Bernalas well as some Andalusian mayors who had planned it but who have preferred to remain in Spain due to the consequences of DANA not only in Valencia but also several points in Andalusia. Despite this, the Andalusian presence will once again be very prominent with its own pavilion and numerous contacts between companies and administrations to consolidate British tourism, which is the main one in the region and which is already back to pre-pandemic numbers.

Around the corners of the bar: “Give me one Valencian paella and something typical to toast those incredible volunteers.” “Typical…? a horchata?”
