The roots of Madrid's Municipal Historical Library date back to the year 1875. Since then, it has been located in different areas of the city until it reached its final and current location in the Condeduque Cultural Center .

With a collection of around 220,000 volumes, from the 15th to the 21st century, in its almost 150 years of history, it has become a reference institution and one of the most relevant libraries in the region.

he phrase "They just dont make them like they used to" has a whole lot of truth to it... The term 'planned obsolescence' refers to the idea that, when things are made, they're made to break after a period of time so that you'll have to buy more. Spain's Ministry of Consumer Affairs has recently proposed a new bill which would, among other things, target planned or programmed obsolesence with a series of measures... It's far from being approved, but we decided to take the opportunity to talk about planned obsolescence today, with Raquel Duque, of the Spanish Asociation of Consumer Rights. How could planned obsolescence be vanquished? Escuchar audio…
