RIU compra el histórico hotel Princesa Sofía de Barcelona

In plain words

  • ≠ Euros: outlets give from 300.000.000 to 350.000.000. Most repeated figure: 300.000.000 (2 outlets). Latest published: 300.000.000 (La Vanguardia, 30/10 16:26).

Same method for every outlet. A different figure may be an updated toll; a verdict needs an official figure.

The figure over time

Which figure each outlet gave and when. The dashed line is the official figure when there is one; a ring joined to a point is a figure the outlet changed after publishing.
