Starting with the hosts, while Sporting Gijon might have found themselves at the heart of a worrying rut on either side of November's international break, Borja Jimenez's side have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion over the past fortnight. Last seen over the weekend putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 victory at home against Granada, Los Rojiblancos have found a route back into the play-off places.

The basketball arena is hardly the second thought here, but it's much more a piece of this broader civic space than the typical pro sports facility. Especially compared to the U.S., where the stadium is often the only element of such a project, Roig Arena and its public amenities offer a refreshing take on a form of urban development that favors the "development" over the "urban." Open since September, the project was designed by the international architecture firm Hok and Valencia-based Erre.

MADRID -- Spanish club Valencia said on Monday they filed a lawsuit against Netflix claiming falsehoods in a documentary about Brazil player Vinícius Júnior. Valencia said the documentary mistakenly accused a large group of Valencia fans of making racist chants against the Real Madrid forward in a LaLiga match in 2023. The club filed the lawsuit after its public demands for corrections by the documentary's production company were not fulfilled. The lawsuit is against Netflix and the production company for damaging "Valencia's honor." It seeks financial compensation, corrections of the subtitles in the documentary, and the publication of the sentencing, the club said.

Spain's Aemet weather agency warned of "extraordinary danger" in Tarragona (Catalonia), Castellon, and Valencia for Sunday afternoon and evening, and Monday, a warning echoed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. As forecast, it rained heavily throughout Sunday night in the eastern region, with more than 80 litres per square metre accumulated in several parts of Valencia. In the town of Aldaia, where the ravine has burst its banks, 57 litres per square metre fell in 35 minutes.

Sunshine, tapas, siestas (and, let's be honest, fiestas); Spain has all the ingredients for a pretty dreamy digital nomad lifestyle. But beyond the sangria and palm trees, there are some practical things every remote worker has to think about: solid Wi-Fi, a welcoming community, staying safe, and, yes, making sure you've got travel insurance that actually covers you when things go sideways.

I thought I'd covered all my bases, but little did I know, some redirection would be necessary.
