España podría convertirse en uno de los primeros países del mundo en probar la semana laboral de cuatro días después de que el gobierno acordara lanzar un proyecto piloto para empresas interesadas en la idea.

A principios de este año, el pequeño partido español de izquierda Más País anunció que el gobierno había aceptado su propuesta para probar la idea.

"Con la semana laboral de cuatro días (32 horas), nos estamos lanzando al verdadero debate de nuestro tiempo", dijo Iñigo Errejón de Más País en Twitter. "Es una idea cuyo momento ha llegado".

Desde Nueva Zelanda hasta Alemania, la idea fue ganando terreno a nivel mundial. Aclamada por sus defensores como un medio para aumentar la productividad, mejorar la salud mental de los trabajadores y luchar contra el cambio climático, la propuesta ha adquirido una nueva importancia a medida que la pandemia agudiza los problemas en torno al bienestar, el agotamiento y el equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal .

"España es uno de los países donde los trabajadores dedican más horas que la media europea. Pero no estamos entre los países más productivos ", dijo Errejón. "Sostengo que trabajar más horas no significa trabajar mejor".

Si bien los detalles exactos del piloto se aclararán con el gobierno, su partido presentó un proyecto de 50 millones de euros en tres años que permitiría a las empresas probar horas reducidas con un riesgo mínimo. Los costos de la incursión de una empresa en la semana laboral de cuatro días, por ejemplo, podrían cubrirse al 100% el primer año, al 50% el segundo año y al 33% el tercer año.

"Con estas cifras, calculamos que podríamos tener alrededor de 200 empresas participando, con un total de entre 3.000 y 6.000 trabajadores ", dijo Héctor Tejero de Más País.

Tejero estimó que el piloto podría ponerse en marcha ya en el otoño europeo, marcando el comienzo de la primera iniciativa nacional para reducir las horas de trabajo desde que Francia comenzó a avanzar para limitar la semana laboral a 35 horas en 1998.

"España será el primer país en realizar una prueba de esta magnitud ", dijo Tejero. "Un proyecto piloto como este no se ha llevado a cabo en ningún lugar del mundo".

Más País espera ver un eco de la experiencia de Software Delsol, la firma del sur de España que el año pasado se convirtió en la primera del país en implementar una semana laboral de cuatro días. "Vieron una reducción del absentismo, subió la productividad y los trabajadores dicen que están más felices", dijo Tejero.

La idea ha enfrentado oposición en algunos sectores, y uno de los líderes de las principales asociaciones empresariales del país la describió como una "locura" a raíz de la peor recesión del país desde la guerra civil. "Salir de esta crisis requiere más trabajo, no menos", dijo Ricardo Mur de CEOE en un foro en diciembre.

Believe it or not, there is far more to German food than sausages and sauerkraut. Just take a look at these top dishes, with recipes to try at home.

Delve into the world of German cuisine and you will soon discover an array of rich, hearty, and delicious dishes that are great comfort food. While each region of Germany has its own specialty dishes and traditional cuisine, there are certain culinary delights that people cherish throughout the country. And because many of these are easy to make, you won't find it too difficult to incorporate them into your weekly meal plan, either. So why not explore German culture with your tastebuds and create your own dishes using these handy recipes. Guten Appetit!

1. Wurst

Let's start with an obvious one - Wurst. There are an estimated 1,500 varieties of sausage in Germany. These are prepared in many different ways and include a range of ingredients and unique spice blends. You will find these on street stalls almost everywhere across the country. One of the most popular varieties is Bratwurst, a pan-fried or roasted sausage made from veal, beef, or pork. Others include Wiener (Viennese), which is smoked and then boiled, and the blood sausages, Blutwurst and Schwarzwurst.

You will also find regional specialties such as Berlin's Currywurst (with curried ketchup on top) and Bavaria's Weisswurst, a white sausage that you peel before eating with sweet mustard. Meanwhile, Nuremberg is famous for its grilled Rostbratwurst, which people eat with fermented shredded cabbage (sauerkraut). And in the state of Thuringian, the local Rostbratwurst is made using distinctive spices like marjoram and caraway.

2. Rouladen

This typical German dish consists of bacon, onions, mustard, and pickles wrapped in thinly sliced beef or veal which is then cooked. Rouladen is also considered to be part of traditional Polish cuisine in the Upper Silesia region. Here it is known as rolada Śląska ( Silesian roulade). It is also famous in the Czech Republic where it is called Španělský ptáček ( Spanish bird). While the mixture varies from region to region, beef has become popular over the last century. The cut is usually topside beef or silverside since this is the cheaper cut. You will find this hearty German food at festivals and family dinner tables across the country. It usually comes with dumplings, mashed potatoes, Blaukraut (cooked red cabbage), and red wine gravy.

Make your own

3. Käsespätzle

Germany's answer to pasta, Spätzle is especially popular in the south of the country. These soft egg noodles are made from wheat flour and egg and are often topped with cheese () and roasted onions. Although the origin of the dish is disputed and variations are found in neighboring countries, Spätzle remains a Swabian specialty. There, the general cooking rule is to use one more egg than the number of guests. It is often served with meat dishes that use a lot of sauce or gravy, such a s Rouladen, or in stews, such as Gaisburger Marsch (a Swabian stew). In some regions, the dough contains other ingredients like cherries (Kirschspätzle), apples (Apfelspätzle), liver ( Leberspätzle), sauerkraut ( Krautspätzle), or even beer.

Make your own

4. Eintopf

A steaming bowl of Eintopf will warm anyone up on a cold day. The name of this traditional German stew literally means 'one pot' and refers to the way of cooking rather than its contents. That said, most recipes contain the same basic ingredients: broth, vegetables, potatoes or pulses, and pork, beef, chicken, or fish. Eintopf is similar to Irish stew and you will find many different regional specialties throughout Germany. These include Lumpen und Flöh (which means 'rags and fleas') in the Kassel area and Linseneintopf (lentils) in Thüringen. Full of flavor and heart-warming goodness, it's no wonder this tasty dish is one of the most popular German foods.

Make your own

5. Sauerbraten

Germans love their meat dishes, and Sauerbraten (meaning 'sour' or 'pickled' roast) is one of the country's national dishes. You can make a pot roast by using many different types of meat, which you marinate in wine, vinegar, spices, herbs, and then season for up to ten days. This recipe is also ideal for tenderizing cheap cuts of meat. Schweinebraten (which translates as 'roast pork') is a delicious Bavarian recipe that you will commonly find in beer halls. It usually comes with braised cabbage or sauerkraut and dumplings ( Knoedel) and goes down nicely with an ice-cold pilsner.

6. Kartoffelpuffer

What a fantastic word! Perfect to enjoy as either a side dish or a light snack, Kartoffelpuffer are shallow pan-fried pancakes made from grated or ground potatoes mixed with flour, egg, onion, and seasoning. You can top them with a variety of sweet or savory condiments, such as sour cream, cottage cheese, apple sauce, or cinnamon. You will often find this tasty German food at outdoor markets in the winter and some variations use sweet potatoes which are also popular.

Make your own

7. Brezel

Great to eat as a side dish or snack, the Brezel (pretzel) is a type of baked pastry that is made from dough commonly shaped into a knot. A Brezel is usually sprinkled with salt, however, other seasonings include cheese, sugar, chocolate, cinnamon, and different seeds. This is a popular German food to eat with German beer and you will find it in bakeries and on street stalls throughout the country. They usually come plain, sliced, and buttered ( Butterbrezel) or with slices of cold meats or cheese. Lecker!

Make your own

8. Schnitzel

Our list of top German foods wouldn't be complete with mentioning Schnitzel. Coated in breadcrumbs and often served with a slice of lemon, this thin, boneless cutlet of meat is an iconic part of German cuisine. You can choose a Wiener Schnitzel (Viennese style) made from veal, or a Schnitzel Wiener Art, with pork ( Schwein). If you order a Hamburg-style schnitzel, it will arrive with a fried egg on top, while a Holsten-style schnitzel comes with an egg, anchovies, and capers.

Make your own

9. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

You'll find lots of cakes and tarts to tempt you in Germany, but few people can resist a huge slice of Germany's most famous cake: the delicious Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (which literally means 'Black Forest cherry torte'). This dessert gets its name from Schwarzwälder Kirschwasser, a liqueur distilled from tart cherries. Interestingly, German law actually mandates that Kirschwasser must be present in the cake for it to be labeled a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Alternating layers of rich chocolate cake, cherries, and whipped cream are topped off with more cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings for a luxurious finish.

Make your own

10. Apfelstrudel

Although Apfelstrudel (apple strudel) is one of Austria's national desserts, Germany has also adopted it into its local cuisine. The popular dish consists of buttery pastry filled with apples that are flavored with sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. The dish became popular in the 18th century under the Habsburg empire. You can make the delicate flakey pastry from an elastic dough, which you knead and stretch until it is almost paper-thin. You then butter the thin pastry layers together, before wrapping them around the apple filling and baking it. It is common to eat the dessert in slices with a sprinkling of powdered or icing sugar. Simply heavenly!

From tasty tapas to superb seafood and traditional roasts, food in Spain is all about making the most of the best local produce. We asked travel writer Annie Bennett to pick 10 of the best dishes to try on your travels.

Discover even more fabulous foodie travel experiences and our top eats across the globe in our travel hub.

If you want to transport yourself to Spain from the comfort of your kitchen, try our simple tapas recipes, Spanish recipes and healthy paella recipes.

Don't leave Spain without trying...

1. Gazpacho

The reddest, ripest tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, bread, peppers and cucumber are blended until silky smooth, then chilled and poured into bowls or glasses. So delicious, so refreshing. In Andalucía in southern Spain, people have it every day in summer and there is always a jug on the counter in tapas bars. Also try salmorejo from Córdoba, a thicker version that is often served with pieces of Ibérico ham on the top.

Try making your own... gazpacho or salmorejo

2. Paella

In the Valencia region, they claim you can eat a different rice dish every day of the year, but let's stick with the most traditional version for now. Ingredients for paella Valenciana include chicken or rabbit, saffron, runner beans and butter beans. But the all-important element is the rice, ideally the bomba or Calasparra varieties grown on Spain's east coast, which are particularly good for absorbing all the flavours.

Try making our next level paella recipe or chicken & chorizo paella and check out our top 10 tips for perfect paella.

3. Tortilla Española

Eggs, potatoes, onions... that's it - and some purists even consider that adding onion is a gastronomic crime of the highest order. The Spanish omelette is so much more than the sum of its parts. The potatoes and onions are slow fried in olive oil then mixed with the beaten eggs for the flavours to mix before cooking. Add chorizo, ham, spinach, courgettes or whatever you have to hand to make a tasty meal out of next to nothing.

4. Gambas al ajillo

You walk into a tapas bar, the barman is handing a customer an earthenware dish of sizzling prawns, the tantalising aroma hits your nostrils and you just have to order some too. To recreate it at home, just fry some sliced garlic and green chilli in olive oil, throw in the prawns for a couple of minutes and add some parsley. Couldn't be simpler, couldn't be tastier.

Try making your own... garlic prawns.

5. Tostas de tomate y jamón

Black pigs roam among the holm oak trees in western Spain in search of the acorns that give marbled magenta Ibérico ham its distinctive nutty flavour. Rub thick pieces of toast with garlic and tomato, pour on some olive oil and top with slices of jamón for a quick, delicious lunch.

Try our delicious Spanish tomato bread with jamón Serrano.

6. Patatas bravas

Perhaps the most ubiquitous of tapas, patatas bravas vary quite a bit around the country, but all versions involve chunks of fried potato. In Madrid, bravas sauce is made with sweet and spicy pimentón (Spanish paprika), olive oil, flour and stock - but never tomatoes. Some people add garlic, some a dash of fino sherry, while others selfishly insist on keeping their secret ingredients to themselves.

Try making your own... patatas bravas

7. Pollo al ajillo

Any Spaniard will tell you that the best garlic chicken ever is the one their grandmother makes. And of course they are right. Unpeeled cloves of garlic are fried in olive oil to flavour it, then taken out before adding pieces of chicken. When that's cooked, the garlic goes back in with some rosemary, thyme and some dry sherry or white wine. But there is no definitive recipe for this much-loved dish.

Try our juicy rosemary & garlic chicken.

8. Cochinillo asado

People might claim they are going to Segovia to see its astounding Roman aqueduct, fairytale castle or elegant cathedral, but really all that is just to build up an appetite for lunch. And in Segovia that means either roast suckling pig or lamb. The meat is cooked in huge wood-fired ovens and is so tender it is cut with the side of an earthenware plate.

9. Pisto

The Spanish version of ratatouille turns up all over the country in different guises, but is most typical in the towns and villages across the plains of La Mancha, south of Madrid. Onions, garlic, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes are slow fried in olive oil - this is not a dish that likes to be rushed. It's usually served as a starter, sometimes with fried eggs or chorizo, but is great as a side dish too.

Try making our pisto con huevos - serve this traditional Spanish recipe with rustic bread and a fruity red wine.

10. Turrón

Spaniards devour massive amounts of turrón, or almond nougat, at Christmas, although it's available all year round. Most of it is made in the small town of Jijona in the province of Alicante, using locally-grown almonds mixed with honey and egg white. There are two basic types - a soft, smooth version, called Jijona, and hard Alicante turrón, which contains pieces of almond.

French food isn't all about haute cuisine and fine dining - some of the best food to be enjoyed in Paris can be bought for a couple of euros from a humble boulangerie. Here's our pick of the gastronomic highlights.

Don't leave Paris without trying...

1. Steak frites

For the quintessential bistrot dish, steak frites, head to one of Paris' atmospheric French brasseries, complete with brass fittings, linen tablecloths (red gingham optional) and smart, aproned waiting staff. These restaurants are so integral to the city's dining scene, even multi-Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse has opened one: Champeaux in Les Halles.

The simple pairing of a grilled steak with various optional sauces and chips is elevated to serious heights when the meat is well selected and carefully matured, and the potatoes are fresh, hand-cut and double-fried. Choose your cut of beef, your 'cuisson' (order 'à point' for medium-rare) and a sauce, be it Béarnaise or peppercorn, and crunch those crispy frites with a side order of squeaky haricots verts.

Try making your own classic French steak with pommes frites with our easy recipe.

2. A cocktail at the Bar Hemingway

The city's most famous bar is tucked away inside The Ritz and celebrates the life and work of its most famous barfly, Ernest Hemingway. Try a sublime cocktail mixed by legendary British barman Colin Field, who has run the bar since 1994.

His two signature cocktails are the Serendipity, which mixes calvados with fresh mint, sugar, ice and champagne, and the Clean Dirty Martini, which features a frozen cube of olive juice at its centre. You'll have to guess the other ingredients - Field says he is taking the recipe to his grave.

3. Macarons

Until supreme patissier Pierre Hermé reinvented these small, smooth meringues filled with ganache, they were a fairly unassuming item in the extensive range of French patisserie, coming in just four flavours: vanilla, chocolate, coffee and raspberry. This delicate pastry has taken the world by storm but its birthplace is resolutely Paris.

Hermé took these colourful treats to another level with flavours such as lemon, orange blossom and Corsican honey (this is called the Jardin de l'Atlas) and rose, lychee and raspberry (the Ispahan). For those who like one flavour only, his 'Infiniment' range takes one ingredient - lemon, chocolate, coffee and many others - and uses it to create different layers of flavour in one macaron. Macarons are two-bite delights, but it is worth seeking them out from reputable pastry shops that actually make their own - many just hop on the bandwagon and sell factory-made ones that aren't worth your time or dime - and go easy on the rainbow-style food colourings.

4. Israeli food

The French aren't known for embracing the cuisine of other cultures, but Paris is currenlty undergoing a gastronomic revolution and the focus of many chefs is Israeli food. One of the hottest tables in town is at Balagan where chefs Assaf Granit and Dan Yosha and their team are serving fresh, vibrant vegetable, fish and meat dishes lifted with perfectly pitched spices, tahini and citrus.

For the best seat in the house, grab a stool at the kitchen counter and enjoy the chefs' theatrics as they serve dishes, sing and knock back shots of cucumber and mint-enhanced absinthe.

5. Choucroute

This brasserie staple originally hails from Alsace, the border region in eastern France, but it came to the French capital at the end of the 19th century when the region was annexed by Germany and refugees fled to Paris. Choucroute is the French word for sauerkraut, a huge serving of white cabbage cooked in riesling, duck or pork fat, with herbs and garlic and topped with sausages and pork knuckle.

It's the perfect dish to share between two, and at Bofinger (which boasts stunning art nouveau décor and a glorious stained glass atrium) it's served on a heated stove so it stays warm as you work your way through it.

6. Cédric Grolet's Patisserie

Is it really an orange? As you slice into its shell, you soon realise patissier Cédric Grolet's extraordinary desserts are something very special - this is actually mousse filled with mandarin and timut pepper compote. At just 32 years old, Grolet has established a worldwide following (mostly thanks to his Instagram account) for his fruit desserts, which look every bit like the real thing.

Each one takes around a week to complete, from the outer shell made with cocoa butter, to the mousse and compote inside. Grolet and his team make around 200 a day, serving only the best to teatime guests at Le Meurice, a luxury hotel on the Rue de Rivoli.

7. A baguette

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for the French baguette to be given UNESCO recognition, but many Parisian bakers have already ordained their baguettes with a superior status. An annual competition to find Paris' best baguette (official title: Grand Prix de la Baguette Tradition Française de la Ville de Paris) has been running since 1994, and each year the baker of the best loaf wins a medal, €4,000 and the chance to supply the Elysée Palace for a year. Don't forget to tear off the crusty, still-warm tip and nibble on it as you walk away, as any self-respecting Parisian does.

8. Jacques Genin chocolates

While the internationally-famous Ladurée and Pierre Hermé carve out their global operations, the chocolatier of choice for discerning Parisians is Jacques Genin. Head up to his elegant boutique and salon de thé (133 Rue de Turenne) not far from Place de la République to indulge in his exquisite and unusual flavours such as caper and basil, to sublime effect.

9. Coffee (or tea)

'Un café' used to mean just one thing, a bitter espresso consumed alongside a Gauloise cigarette (possibly while contemplating existentialism) but over the last few years Parisians have embraced a new generation of good coffee, where beans are carefully chosen, roasted and brewed. Taste it in the surrounds of one of Paris' trendy coffee shops, many of which have sprung up near the hip districts of Canal Saint-Martin or The Marais.

It's not all about the flat whites and latte art, however. Tea (or thé) predates the coffee trend, with elegant salons de thé attracting a well-heeled clientele to try such brands as Mariage Frères or Dammann Frères - but before you come over all English, these are consumed without milk. One of the most elegant and popular salons de thé is Angelina on the Rue de Rivoli, where tea and coffee should come with their signature patisserie, Le Mont Blanc.

10. Rhum baba

This dense cake with rum and vanilla cream dates from the 18th century and owes its place in French culinary history to King Stanislaus of Poland, who was exiled in Lorraine. The king had fond memories of raisin brioches served with Tokaji wine and so charged his chef, Nicolas Stohrer, with the task of recreating the dish, which he named rhum baba in keeping with his passion for the Arabian Nights stories.

When Stanislaus' daughter Marie married King Louis XV, Stohrer relocated to Paris and opened his own bakery, and the rhum baba's Parisian future was sealed. Chef Alain Ducasse adores the dessert and it's a signature dish in many of his Parisian restaurants.

11. Croque-monsieur

Most brasseries and cafés in Paris offer non-stop service, and a staple of their menu is the croque-monsieur, an oozy and crisp grilled ham and cheese sandwich usually moistened by a touch of béchamel sauce. If you're extra hungry, get the croque-madame, which adds a fried egg on top.

12. Duck confit

Originally devised to preserve fresh duck meat for future consumption, the confit method consists of cooking duck thighs in their own fat, until the meat is spectacularly moist and fork-tender. Few Parisian bistros make their own, but they pride themselves in selecting the best producer, typically from the southwest of France, and serve them seared until the skin turns golden and crisp. The classic side is pommes sarladaises, heavenly garlicky potatoes sautéed in duck fat. (And duck fat is good for you, right?)

13. Jambon-beurre

Like all city dwellers, Parisians often need to eat on the go, and the jambon-beurre is the most Parisian of sandwiches. You can buy it from corner bakeries or order it from the counter at most cafés; in both cases it will come as a fresh half-baguette, its insides smeared with cool butter and garnished with 'jambon de Paris', a pink-hued cooked ham, with optional cornichons.

14. Raw-milk artisanal cheeses

Paris is truly the gastronomic hub of France, and nowhere is it more apparent than in cheese shops, where you can buy the makings of a cheesy Tour de France and taste your way through each region's stars, from the mildest to the sharpest. Always favour raw-milk cheeses (unless you have a compromised immunity) and ask the vendor what's best right now, as the production of artisanal cheeses is a seasonal affair.

15. Croissants

Walk past any bakery in the wee hours of the morning and you'll be instantly spellbound by the warm buttery smell of fresh croissants escaping from the air vents at pavement level. This is your cue to step in and get your golden prize, which you can tuck into and savour on your morning walk as the city awakens. Sadly, fewer and fewer French bakeries make their croissants from scratch - they buy them frozen instead - so it's worth asking to make sure your boulanger still engages in that noble, delicious craft.

16. Paris-Brest

Named after a long-established bicycle race that sees competitors cycle from Paris to the tip of Brittany, this is among the best-sellers in Parisian pastry shops. The wheel-shaped choux pastry shell garnished with praline buttercream and sprinkled with caramelized almonds is guaranteed bliss for sweet lovers.

17. Street-stand crêpes

Walking around Paris, you'll see street stands selling crêpes everywhere. One of the few truly native street foods, the crêpe is indeed a lovely treat to indulge in when it's time for an afternoon snack. Be sure to pick a stand that cooks crêpes to order (rather than reheating them from a pile cooked earlier), makes them thin (nothing worse than a gummy, undercooked crêpe) and is kept spotlessly clean. Though you may be tempted to try all kinds of stuffings, serious aficionados stick to the beurre-sucre (butter and sugar) for the true, unadulterated crêpe experience.

Supremme de Luxe joins the RuPaul's Drag Race global family on season 1 of Drag Race España.

Drag Race España (formerly referred to as Drag Race Spain) has crowned Spanish drag queen Supremme de Luxe as its inaugural host, with the performer set to preside over the season 1 panel when Europe's third international Drag Race installment debuts later this year.

Outside of RuPaul's hosting stints on R uPaul's Drag Race, RuPaul's Drag Race UK, and Drag Race Down Under, de Luxe is the first solo queen to host a Drag Race spinoff on her own ( Brooke Lynn Hytes was part of a three-pronged judging panel with no set leading host on Canada's Drag Race, while Art-Arya and Pangina Heals cohosted Drag Race Thailand). The entertainer is a well-known presence in the Spanish capital of Madrid, where she has performed nightly shows for years. She has also appeared on stages around the country, on television, and across multiple music releases, including the dance singles "Miénteme" and "Perdiste Ya El Control."

De Luxe celebrated her new gig on social media Monday, tweeting that she's "Glad to be able to" finally share the news with her fans.

Drag Race España is the latest in a line of non-English-language international editions of the Emmy-winning global franchise, which also includes South America's The Switch, Drag Race Thailand, and Drag Race Holland, which EW has confirmed will return for season 2 in the future. The series also recently expanded to include Canada's Drag Race (recently renewed for season 2), Drag Race Down Under in New Zealand and Australia, and RuPaul's Drag Race UK, which is currently airing season 2 on WOW Presents Plus.

Last year, production company founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey told EW there were "three or four" new iterations of the franchise in the works.

"It is such an honor to welcome Spain to the Drag Race family, partner with Atres, and bring the fierce fabulous glamour of Spanish queens to new audiences around the world on WOW Presents Plus," Barbato and Bailey said of Drag Race España in a press statement. "In these dark and challenging times we believe people need Drag Race's joy, laughter, and heart now more than ever."
