El PSOE quiere tumbar el plan de Madrid contra los pisos turísticos

📅 Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid (TSJM) admitted PSOE's appeal against "Plan Reside" on October 2023, targeting Madrid's initiative to regulate tourist apartments. The plan, criticized for potentially transforming up to 73% of central buildings into tourist accommodations, faces claims of legal irregularities. The proposal allows for 215 private facilities to convert for affordable housing, restricts tourist flats in residential buildings, and permits a 15-year tourist use for obsolete buildings.

Galicia y Baleares pierden capacidad aérea mientras el resto del país crece

✈️ Galicia and Baleares face significant flight cuts this winter: Galicia will see a 17% capacity drop, losing 440,000 seats, due to Ryanair's closures in Santiago and Vigo. Baleares will lose 150,000 seats, with Menorca hit hardest (9% decrease). A 1,000-million-euro debt from resident discounts is partly blamed. Contrastingly, Canarias gains 700,000 seats (up 2.4%), and Ibiza grows 1.8%. Elsewhere, seat availability increases—Andalucía 6.7%, Madrid 5.6%, Barcelona 6.1%, Alicante 11.1%.
