As Madrid begins an ambitious renovation of hundreds of streets, the potent smell of newly laid asphalt is overwhelming some areas.

Taking to social media, madrileños questioned why the city council didn’t just plant real fruit trees, given they also mitigate the soaring temperatures in summer.

To save lives this year, Spain’s Ministry of Health ...
