Las instrucciones son simples: galleta, dulce de leche, galleta, baño de chocolate. El alfajor es un clásico del Río de la Plata, ese inmenso estuario que separa a Buenos Aires de Montevideo y que la poeta Ida Vitale llamó el río mar.

El 28 de abril, a medida que el sol iba cayendo sobre la Península Ibérica, buena parte de España y Portugal fueron recuperando la luz luego de un apagón total que dejó a 55 millones de personas sin energía eléctrica. Sin embargo, en algunas zonas el corte persistió hasta la mañana del 29. Durante esa noche, tres satélites de la NASA (Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20 y NOAA-21) capturaron la extensión del apagón y rastrearon la recuperación gradual de la electricidad desde la órbita de la Tierra.

The study of dreams is often an imprecise and unpredictable field. What lies within the realm of dreams is deeply personal and difficult to verify scientifically. Compounding this is the fact that dream memory is fragmented, incomplete, and often shaped by emotions, recent experiences, health, and even stress levels. The question of where consciousness travels during sleep and what happens to it remains, for now, a mystery.

Paz Rey Duarte hasn’t been able to get the message out of her head for 24 hours: “possible risk detected.” Although she hasn’t been formally diagnosed by a doctor, the 73-year-old woman with impeccable grey hair is now convinced that she has Alzheimer’s. “For some time now, I’ve noticed that I forget the simplest things,” she says, adjusting a cotton shawl she wears around her neck to combat the Atlantic coastal chill in her home town of Vigo, in the northwestern region of Galicia in Spain.
