The volcanic eruption in the Canary Island of La Palma continued to dominate the headlines this week. The lava flow from the new volcano finally reached the sea on Tuesday and has since formed a delta around 20 hectares in size. EL PAÍS was on the scene to speak with the residents who have been confined due to the risk of toxic gas from the contact of lava with the sea. A third vent also opened up on Friday, sparking fears of a new lava flow.
In coronavirus news, the epidemiological situation continues to improve with the incidence rate falling to levels not seen since July last year. What's more, 77% of the population is now fully vaccinated against Covid-19. This has prompted several regions, including Madrid, to lift restrictions on the capacity and opening hours of food and entertainment venues. Spain's regional and central authorities have also agreed to allow outdoor stadiums to open at full capacity starting this weekend.
And finally, we looked at why is that in 2021, there are still expanses of Spain where people can barely use a cellphone, send a text message or surf the internet.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.
Thanks for reading.
