Coronavirus cases continued to rise this week in Spain, where some regional officials warned about healthcare staffing shortages due to infections that are keeping many workers at home. Hospitals said they are treating more patients than during the fourth and fifth waves, although the growth in admissions has slowed down.
The economy provided better news as Spain returned to pre-pandemic employment levels through the creation of 776,000 jobs last year. And thanks to a legal change, some young migrants without legal papers are now able to apply for work permits, get jobs and carve out a future for themselves.
Another inspirational story involves an effort to restore ancient irrigation channels built during the days of Al-Andalus to help rural communities and support sustainable agriculture.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.
