Rimontgó was represented by both its principals, José and Antonio Ribes Bas, an indication of how important this region is becoming in the international luxury property market.

The much-heralded vaccine against malaria was developed in Spain along with the surprising discovery that human beings can be divided into types according to their intestinal flora, in a manner similar to the divisions drawn by blood grouping. Previously it was thought that each person's intestinal flora was unique.

The more cynical among us will – at least once in our lives – observe that the addition of a designer label to an everyday item can raise its price by an unimaginable amount. Ramiro Encizo's handbags are elevated above the ordinary by the fine quality craftsmanship that is put into every seam and diamond.

Turn up at the airport three hours early, hope your ticketless pre-booked flight actually features on the computer at the check-in counter, fret in case your luggage is too heavy, too big or contains anything remotely liquid – and then settle in for some fun queuing followed by the stylish spectacle that is the security check. Whip off your belt, take off your shoes, your watch, your jacket, then get shouted at for forgetting to also remove your mobile phone whilst simultaneously being frisked and told to get all that gear back on your person in under a minute. As you finally emerge into the shopping area you suddenly realise that all those hours have evaporated and instead of a leisurely snack and a stroll through tax-free you now have to run like mad, only to reach another queue before being squeezed into that tightly-packed cigar with all the other proverbial sardines. Said cigar will then wing it’s way into the air amid alarming lurches as you suddenly rediscover religion. Once level and calmed into a false sense of security, you will realise just how squashed and uncomfortable these aeroplanes are before another bout of mid-air turbulence floods your mind with more basic thoughts of survival.

Cohen – an accomplished poet and novelist, although best known for his melancholic yet humorous songs – used his acceptance speech as a platform from which to praise Spain's extraordinarily rich cultural life

According to the brainy team at Pavegen Systems that was somehow equal to an unmissed opportunity, and indeed, unleashing their conceptual and technological skills, the London-based R&D firm have created a system that could very well transform the role of the humble pavement. No longer just a place to walk, these spaces dedicated to pedestrians have every potential of becoming major sources of electricity, as Pavegen Systems has launched tiles that harvest the kinetic energy produced as people walk on them. The potential of this kind of kinetic energy harvesting is obvious given the huge volumes of daily movements on the sidewalks and squares of the world’s urban areas.

Well, the company has come away with the 2011 award for ‘Best Website Innovation’, signalling that when it comes to the quality of its website presentation, information and usability, Rimontgó continues to be an innovator in its industry. The prize, which was received by Antonio Ribes Bas at the 16th Annual Luxury Real Estate Fall Conference at Grand Del Mar, San Diego, California, on 11th October, focuses not just on the existing standard of a company’s website, but more specifically on the level of continued development, updating and innovation. Online marketing is a rapidly evolving field, both in terms of the software and the marketing techniques, and the panel that assesses the potential winners measures them against the highest standards internationally.
