While Lanzarote and the Canaries appear to be successfully slowing down the second wave of coronavirus, it is still rising alarmingly in Spain as a whole. Why is the coronavirus taking such a toll on this country in particular? Yesterday the national total of new cases was 14,389, the highest single-day figure since the end […]
If you’re going to the beach today, you’d better nab a spot early.
