The most accurate point is always on Twitter. “For a kiss that I gave in the port/To a lady I didn’t know/For a kiss that I gave in the port/They wanted to kill my joy/For a kiss that I gave in the port/I find myself stuck in this prison “. It is the fragment of a song by Manolo Escobar in the film Un beso en el puerto (1966). Remember her @andres_trasado. A genius only available to true cinephiles. “Rubiales is already preparing his version”, adds @adicaescribe. The singer kisses a tourist twice on the cheeks; the president of the RFEF, a footballer in the mouth. But the stanza doesn’t suit him as it was made to order for the hairs.
In the sixties, when Escobar, tourism was a great invention. Here, in Soria and the Ozores. Today it is a burden in some cases. But everything can be solved, because the de-massification of tourism in cities like Barcelona will come in two ways: thieves will make off with tourists wearing 500,000-euro watches; the heat will take care of driving out the rest, those who only have to look at the time on their mobile phones.
There is not much left until July and August are no longer considered vacation months. The high temperatures, in crescendo year after year, make them unbearable in the Mediterranean countries. The weather is not good. It’s cumbersome. It crushes you like a Plensa.
“In a few years, July and August will no longer be vacation months and we will dedicate them to enduring the catastrophic temperatures as best we can, from work to home and vice versa, and those who can afford it will migrate temporarily to the north. The tourism industry can be prepared”. It’s the warning from @DucMantua. An increase in the deseasonalization of tourism is near.
The problem with this change to the work calendar is that it also involves a rethinking of the school year, in order to de-seasonalize the holidays as well. Consider, perhaps, that part of the two and a half months of holidays in the summer – a month? – be moved to more pleasant times. With all the measures for the students to overcome the heat. Classrooms should be conditioned and it is already known that as the number of air conditioners increases, greenhouse gases increase. It’s the feedback that @darioadanti points to.
Meanwhile, “I hate summer” and “how hot” are frequent on the networks. With curiosities: a search for “hot” on Twitter often returns young people displaying bodies and some sexualized tweets. With “quina calor”, in Catalan (or in Valencian, it’s either red barretina or roja barretina), there are lamentations about the climate. In any case, it is clear that summer is no longer for holidays.
