New York Times06-06-2025
Ubrique | $1.4 million (€1.2 million)
Set on 33 wooded acres, this seven-bedroom, four-bathroom property is in Ubrique, a village in the Andalusian province of Cádiz. The three-story home was built in 1940 and renovated in 2015.
One of 19 'pueblos blancos' in Andalusia — towns and villages known for their whitewashed buildings — Ubrique has been a hub for the manufacturing of leather goods since the 18th century. Jerez Airport, which serves European destinations, is about 50 miles west. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, with daily nonstop flights to several American cities, is about 90 miles east. Several bus routes connect Ubrique with cities in the region.
Ubrique's cobblestone center is a short walk from this property, as is the Ubrique Leather Museum, housed in a former convent.
Size: 4,574 square feet
Price per square foot: $296
Indoors: The ground floor has a double-height living and dining area with ocher-tiled floors and original wood beams. The kitchen was renovated with tiled floors, Smeg appliances and an arched entryway decorated with blue-and-white Andalusian tiles. This level also includes a large bedroom divided into four sleeping areas, with one en suite bathroom.
Two bedrooms on the second floor have en suite bathrooms, and two more bedrooms share a bathroom. On the third floor, another bedroom features a cast-iron wood stove, an en suite bathroom and a terrace with sweeping views. The home is powered by solar panels.
The owner's father, a leather wholesaler, bought the house in 1972. His son inherited the business and the property, which rents for as much as $400 per night. The home is being sold furnished, except for heirloom pieces. Artwork, by local painters, is also included in the sale.

🚨 Reports: Deal done, Liverpool offload flop for over £50 million

There's still a lot going on in Liverpool. After the Reds reportedly signed Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike for well over 200 million euros in the summer, players are now being actively sold. As Florian Plettenberg reports, the departure of striker Darwin Nunez is now said to be confirmed. Fabrizio Romano also shortly afterwards made similar statements about 'X'. In addition to Luis Díaz, who moved to FC Bayern Munich, Darwin Núñez is now also leaving. According to the latest reports, the attacker is set to move to Al-Hilal for 50 million euros plus bonuses. A surprisingly high sum, right? Since the Uruguayan came to LFC in 2022 for 85 million euros, he has only scored 26 goals in 95 games and largely fell short of expectations. Well, money is not the most important thing in the Saudi Pro League, as we know. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Owner of landmark Manhattan skyscraper closes on $1.3 billion loan

By Matt Tracy (Reuters) -New York City property developer The Durst Organization sealed one of 2025's largest Manhattan office loans for a landmark Times Square skyscraper on Wednesday, according to Rosenberg + Estis, the law firm that represented the developer. The family-run property owner closed a $1.3 billion commercial mortgage-backed security on One Five One, a 48-story, Class A office building formerly known as 4 Times Square. The proceeds will go towards funding tenant improvements and capital expenditures, among other uses, according to Rosenberg + Estis. In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, which wrought devastation on the U.S. office market, The Durst Organization has brought a diverse range of major new tenants to the building, including social media giant TikTok and financial services firm Nasdaq. One Five One was designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry and was previously home to publisher Conde Nast until 2014, and international law firm Skadden Arps until 2020. Wells Fargo, JPMorgan and Bank of America co-originated the $1.3 billion CMBS. The building was previously financed by a $650 million CMBS and a $900 refinancing provided in 2019 by JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. Rosenberg + Estis called the immense package a major milestone for the New York office market's recovery. "This deal sold the bonds very quickly. It pre-sold, basically," said Eric Orenstein, a member of Rosenberg + Estis's transactions team. Orenstein said the $1.3 billion ultimately funded was well above the amount originally sought by The Durst Organization. "There is tremendous demand for class A assets for well-known sponsors that are well-respected in the community," he added. "It's a good sign for the market generally." The $1.3 billion loan carries a 5.865% interest rate and matures on August 6, 2030. The financing arrangement was based on an estimated property valuation of $2.3 billion and a loan-to-value ratio of 56.5%. The Durst Organization did not immediately return a request for comment. Wells Fargo declined to comment. JPMorgan and Bank of America also did not immediately return requests for comment.

Teen and bestie fight as two-week trip nears. Hax readers give advice.

We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below. Dear Carolyn: My 15-year-old daughter is supposed to go on vacation with her best friend and her family to France for two weeks. Great plan except bestie now has a boyfriend and has been canceling each and every plan with my daughter for the past couple of months. Daughter has been feeling terribly neglected and cries over this weekly. I am worried she will have a miserable time on vacation with bestie constantly checking in on her boyfriend and ignoring my daughter. Bestie's parents don't see a problem and deny bestie has been mean/immature. My daughter still wants to go and hopes she will win bestie back. Should I intervene and prohibit her from going? Or let her go and learn a lesson? I am taking my other daughter to Italy, and we could easily bring daughter along. — Vacation Woes Vacation Woes: If you said yes to this trip before, then I don't think suddenly saying no to try to protect your daughter is a good thing. It takes agency away from your daughter, and she might blame you for taking away her opportunity to 'win bestie back.' Have a frank conversation with your daughter about what is happening with bestie and try to give her a realistic preview of what the trip will be like, complete with bestie ignoring your daughter in favor of calling/texting the boyfriend. Is your daughter still willing to go on the trip with bestie if that ends up being the result? If she says yes, then let her go. At least she won't be going in blind. If she says she doesn't want to go, or if she's on the fence, offer her the Italy trip as an alternative. But let her choose after giving her your best insight into what the trip might look like. — Choice Vacation Woes: To be blunt, but I hope not unkind, I think you need to remove yourself from your daughter's friendship. That you've talked about this with bestie's parents reveals just how ensnared you are in this relationship. These bumps in friendships should be sorted by the kids themselves (with obvious caveats for safety, etc.). Accusing a 15-year-old of immaturity is just, well, of course she's immature. They're all immature and learning how to be humans who coexist with other humans. — Butt Out Vacation Woes: While there are times to hold teens accountable to their choices, spending several thousand dollars for a kid to go to Europe when there is trepidation — for an understandable reason — might not be one of them. Since you are in the unusual position of being able to offer an equally appealing alternative, ask your other daughter you are taking to Italy how she would feel about including her sister, and let her response guide you. If she is amenable, make the offer to your other daughter with the caveat that she will need to tell bestie and family why her plans have changed. Offer to have her talk through her reasons with you and even to be present as silent support for that conversation. It's a messy situation, so neither choice will be easy, but it could produce a win-win. In both cases, your daughter will come away with valuable reflections about trusting her instincts vs. following through with imperfect obligations, and the pros and cons of sticking with a friend vs. carving out the space to get through a rough patch. And your daughters will learn the power of being there for each other during a rough patch, too. — Options Vacation Woes: Unless your daughter wants to cancel, you shouldn't jump in and do it for her. If your daughter wants to go, then this is a great opportunity for her to discuss her concerns and expectations about the trip with her friend beforehand. If her friend really won't even have that discussion with her, then jump in to discuss canceling the trip with daughter. And invite her to Italy. — Convo Vacation Woes: The teen years are so painful because the lessons the teens are learning for the first time are really close to the bone. Maturity doesn't come easily, but you can use this chance to empower her when she sees herself as a victim. Have a talk with your daughter that focuses entirely on her. Act as if you have confidence that she can find a solution. If she's not sure whether she wants to go, you can do a pros and cons list, giving equal positives to opting out. If she wants to go but is afraid, say, 'Supposing Jane ignores you and you start to feel bad. Let's put our heads together and think of things you can do on the trip to make yourself feel better.' You may not know this, but just your having confidence that she can work this out will do your daughter even more good than whatever she decides. — Confidence Every week, we ask readers to answer a question submitted to Carolyn Hax's live chat or email.
