3 w. ago Europa League final lineup has been roundly mocked but it still matters

Spurs and Manchester United’s struggles in the league leave this game meaning nothing and everythingGatwick on Tuesday morning was full of Spurs fans. They were in the Pret a Manger, they were in the Pizza Express, they were in the Wagamama, but mostly they were standing gawping at the destination board, which featured a baffling number of Vueling flights to Bilbao, a squeezing of the schedule that led to inevitable delays and confusion.The queue for the three open booths at passport control in Bilbao was a vast python of white shirts, speckled with the occasional tree green or purple.

For 1,500 years, Mexico’s Mixtec people have extracted ink from the rare purpura snail to dye yarn.

Our writer seeks out its inspiration in the bustling metropolis of MumbaiIt’s the eyes that stay with you – piercing black discs that seem to vibrate against the intense orange of a goddess’s skin. The rest is a blur of silver, yellow and saffron as temple attendants encourage you to move, clockwise, around the murti, or sacred statue. For a moment it’s as if this shrine is the one fixed point in the whole city.The goddess in question is Mumba, the patron of Mumbai, her temple at the beating heart of one of the most densely populated areas on Earth. A few streets to the east is the green and white splendour of Minara mosque. To the north is the intricately carved Jain temple of Parshwanath. All around is the noise and commerce of a place that Indians regard as their version of New York and LA combined – “the city of dreams”. Yet, far from being a godless metropolis, this is a place where religion ...
