Spanish News in English EL PAÍS

Dear readers,

This week the news was dominated by the Pandora Papers, a global investigation led by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) into murky business dealings of politicians, millionaires and artists from more than 90 countries. Colombian pop star Shakira, Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, soccer coach Pep Guardiola and Nobel-prize winning author Mario Vargas Llosa are among the notable names listed in the secret files.

In coronavirus news, the national incidence rate in Spain has fallen below 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for the first time since July 2020. Experts, however, are still calling for caution. Meanwhile, Spain is to begin administering third shot of the Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna to the over-70 population starting October 25.

And finally, the new volcano on La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands continues to wreak havoc. In this infographic special, EL PAÍS looks at how an underwater "hotspot" is fueling the eruption.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.

Thanks for reading.
