The most expensive Christmas tree in the world stands in Spain.

The most expensive Christmas tree in the world is located in Estepona near Malaga, in the south of Spain. It measures three and a half meters high and is decorated with diamonds, emeralds and other precious stones with a total value of about 12 million euros.

The Christmas tree is part of the traditional Christmas market and stands in the lobby of the luxury Kempinski Bahia. It is decorated with multi-colored diamonds from well-known jewelry companies, including Bulgari, Cartier and Chanel, emu eggs and snowflakes impregnated with 24-carat gold. Baubles richly decorated with precious stones were inspired by the art deco style.

In addition to local merchants, there was also a place for charity organizations collecting donations from the inhabitants of Málaga and tourists who came to admire the unique tree.

The author of the Christmas tree is the British jewelery and luxury designer Debbie Wingham who became famous for such creations as the world's most expensive wedding cake or the most expensive shoes in the world.

Wine from Spain

Wine from Spain Have you ever noticed the name and the origin of the wine you drink? Did you know, that Spain is famous for wine production? Spain is the second oldest wine producing country in the Mediterranean area. Spain produces modern wines, such as fruit or grape, both of very high quality. The Spanish wines have a potential of aging and a combination of character and diversity that allows them to conquer the world market. The most famous wine is, without a doubt, Rioja . This red and dry wine can come as young wine with fruit flavor (Tinto Joven) or as exquisite wine (Gran Reserva).

The last one is Cava , a sparkling wine, that's made using traditional methods. If you haven't ever tried a Spanish wine, I highly recommend that you do!

Spain and the drought problem

Spain is slowly turning into a desert, and temperatures are constantly rising Today I will write about the latest news about the drought problem in Spain. The Spaniards have been struggling with the drought problem for years. Unstable weather and ever thinner soil layer make life more difficult for farmers, and it will only get worse. Recently, part of southern Spain has suffered severe droughts, lowering the water level in Murcia water reservoirs.

According to a special report announced in December 2018 by the European Court of Auditors, three quarters of Spain wi...

Contratiempo, movie

Copious amounts of plot twists can confuse the viewer in a matter of minutes. Once the viewer thinks he is following the plot, a sudden detail shows up and destroys all of his assumptions.

Adrián's retrospections are the backbone of the whole story. The hero stubbornly tries to deduce an alternative version of the events. The woman interviewing...
