MADRID, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Spaniards protested in Madrid on Sunday against possible plans by acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to grant an amnesty to Catalan separatists to keep himself in office after an election he failed to win.
Today we have started the third round of #olive picking. I'll see if I can post the occasional picture, might have to fill in ALT text when I'm home (it's tricky to keep on taking off gloves).
It's my first time working from a co-working space today, like a proper digital nomad 🏝 I wouldn't mind doing this more often :) #remote#remotework#wfh#spain

#ClimateDiary Our neighbour country #Spain expects an extreme #heatwave with 40°C. This is more than 6-10 degrees than normal because we have APRIL! In some regions this is 15-20 degrees over normal. Crazy!
We are sitting in the middle of the #climateCrisis, which is already on our doorstep. Have we ever considered that 1.5 degrees is an average temperature? How will those who get the extremes live? Here it's rather cold but we have winter #drought in France. Never had one in winter ...
Meanwhile in #Spain, the country has woken up to find the #election has produced an inconclusive result with neither Left nor Right really in a strong enough position to quickly form a Govt.
The good news: #Vox while gaining 33 seats, have 19 less seats than in 2019.
And while PP gained 47 seats from 2019's result, with the Vox losses, the Right overall cannot form a majority...
With none of the obvious alliances gaining enough seats, Spaniards now may wait a while for a new Govt. to emerge!

Only to hear "we are full for the next two weeks." 🫠😭
Now free for all to read... You'd expect to find many direct trains between Lisbon and Madrid - but in fact there are zero. This is how I made the trip by four regional trains:
“The extreme conditions will follow the driest March in 20 years in some areas which has increased growing concerns about the nation's water reserves and officially placed Spain into long-term #Drought.
