Watch Your Steps!
The Spanish Steps in Rome, a renowned cultural landmark, have become the center of an international dispute between France and Italy. A recent report by France's Court of Accounts suggested that the steps, built with French funds in the 1720s, are part of France's property portfolio in Rome. This claim has sparked criticism from Italian officials, who argue that the steps are a public space maintained by Rome. The historical context reveals that the steps were originally constructed by France to connect a convent and church, with the Spanish embassy at their base leading to their current name. The dispute highlights ongoing cultural tensions between the two nations, with both sides asserting historical claims over the landmark.

Philip V, a reign without a day of peace: this is how he subdued resistance in Catalonia
Historian Rubén Sáez Abad's book 'Felipe V. Un reinado en guerra' explores the tumultuous reign of Philip V of Spain, marked by constant warfare, including the War of Spanish Succession. The conflict began after the death of Charles II, leading to a power struggle between Philip V and Archduke Charles. The Treaty of Utrecht eventually ended the war, with Philip V renouncing his claim to the French throne to separate the Spanish and French crowns. The siege of Barcelona was a significant event during this period, resulting in the city's capitulation and the loss of Catalan privileges.

Koh Kood The Thai Island For The Food Lover
Koh Kood, a Thai island, offers a pristine and authentic experience reminiscent of Alex Garland's novel 'The Beach'. Unlike the heavily touristed Ko Phi Phi Leh, Koh Kood remains largely untouched, with its economy centered around fishing, agriculture, and limited tourism. The island is home to unique experiences such as staying at the eco-friendly A la Koh Kood hotel, enjoying high tea in a tree pod at the Soneva Kiri resort, and dining on traditional Thai cuisine at Kruua Mae Tuk. The island also offers fusion dining at the Nikkei restaurant and a mushroom cave lunch at Soneva Kiri. Visitors can engage in local activities like fishing in the Thai Gulf, with the option to have their catch prepared by resort chefs. Koh Kood embodies the romantic notion of an unspoiled Thai paradise.

Colombian mayor who called Hitler ‘great German thinker’ could be country’s next president
Rodolfo Hernández, a 77-year-old businessman and former mayor of Bucaramanga known for his offensive remarks and social media diatribes, could become Colombia's next president. He has made it to the run-off election against Gustavo Petro, a former urban guerrilla. Hernández's campaign has been marked by populist tactics, lack of detailed policies, and controversial statements, including praising Hitler and making derogatory comments about women. Despite being under investigation for corruption, he has gained support from those opposed to Petro. Colombia's political culture, marked by dissatisfaction with traditional politicians, has allowed Hernández to embody the non-traditional politician. The country's history of violence and authoritarianism, as well as the slow implementation of the 2016 peace deal with Farc, continues to influence its politics.
