Malaga thus joins other cities and territories that have promoted similar or more restrictive measures, such as Balearic Islands, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Gijón, Madrid, Seville and Valencia, where a one-year moratorium on new tourist housing licences came into effect on 30 May.

Luis de la Fuente's side have perhaps been the most impressive team in Germany so far this summer. Their combination of technical mastery and speed out wide has made for thrilling viewing, and they've so far made light work of two nations currently ranked in FIFA's top ten. Croatia were torn apart in Berlin, and a resolute Italy struggled to get near La Roja last time out in a 1-0 defea...

Sun-worshippers have another reason to celebrate today, as solar power is set to peak at a fifth of the world’s electricity for an hour. Analysing midday highs on 21 June, clean energy think tank Ember says the renewable will make up 20 per cent of the global power mix, up from 16 per cent last year. Global solar generation typically performs best in June due to longer summer days in the northern hemisphere, where around 89 per cent of the world’s solar panels are installed. “At 20 per cent share, solar is now a serious global electricity source,” says Kostantsa Rangelova, electricity analyst ...
