According to data experts NIQ, Madrí Excepcional brought in annual sales of £93.3mn (€108.9mn) last year. Molson Co...

The US pop star is reportedly under investigation in Spain over potential environmental damage that took place on the shoot for the video of her new single ‘Lifetimes’. The new song is the second track to be shared from Perry’s forthcoming sixth album, ‘143’, and the filming of its video on Spain’s Balearic Island...

His return comes seven years after Catalonia's unauthorised independence referendum, a vote that was not sanctioned by Spanish authorities and which attracted a notorious police crackdown. Not long after that incident, Puigdemont smuggled himself out of the country in the boot of a car to avoid arrest, setting himself up in Brussels as successive Spanish governments sought to have him extradited to stand trial. Earlier this week, Pui...
