El "Big Nude Boat" desde Miami: cuando el nudismo se hace mar adentro

(Por Taylor-Maqueda) Los cruceros nudistas no son novedad, pero su escala y sofisticación actuales representan un salto cuántico. Bare Necessities Tour & Travel, fundada en 1990 por el empresario Ken Tiemann, fue pionera en fletar barcos completos para audiencias nudistas.

Miami: la capital mundial del nudismo (también en cruceros)

(Por Taylor) Hay industrias que crecen en silencio, lejos de los titulares convencionales, construyendo ecosistemas económicos paralelos que mueven millones de dólares y redefinen paradigmas culturales. El turismo nudista es una de ellas. Y Miami —esa ciudad que jamás duerme, que nunca se conforma, que siempre reinventa— acaba de consolidarse como la capital indiscutida del nudismo mundial.

SPH, la mega inversión y proyecto de excelencia de Argentinos en Miami (el análisis que ningún medio quiere discutir, y que todos hacemos) (parte II)

(Por Taylor-Maqueda, con la colaboración de Maurizio) ¿Qué aprendió Miami, que Colombia, Argentina, Brasil, parece no querer aprender, aún? El mismo Gastón Remy, empresario cofundador de SPH, confesó en entrevista con Infobae: "La ciudad invirtió más de USD 600 millones en los Marlins y no resultó bien. Desde entonces, Miami no financia ni patrocina complejos deportivos. Por eso nuestra inversión es totalmente privada."

Miami Freedom Park: el coliseo del siglo XXI (donde el real estate, el deporte y la identidad anglolatina redefinen una ciudad)

(Por Taylor-Maqueda-Maurizio) Hay construcciones que trascienden su función arquitectónica para convertirse en hitos de transformación urbana, económica y cultural. El Miami Freedom Park —el nuevo estadio del Inter Miami CF que se inaugurará en 2026— no es solo el hogar deportivo de Lionel Messi.

(Por Ortega-Maqueda, con la colaboración de Maurizio) "Como dueño, tener un jugador que ame el juego tanto como él, y que ha hecho tanto por el juego en este país e inspirar a la próxima generación de jóvenes talentos como él, me siento muy afortunado.

Freedom Park: ¿por qué primero generaron una cultura y mega experiencias, para hacer realidad la metamorfosis arquitectónica que redefinirá Miami?

(Por Taylor) En el epicentro de una transformación urbana sin precedentes, Miami se apresta a inaugurar no simplemente un recinto deportivo, sino un catalizador generacional que promete reconfigurar la experiencia urbana del siglo XXI. El Miami Freedom Park —131 acres de ambición arquitectónica, visión empresarial y diseño experiencial— representa la convergencia de tres fuerzas imparables: el capital global, la innovación inmobiliaria y el magnetismo cultural de una metrópolis que no conoce límites.

Beckham: el arquitecto del sueño americano versión 3.0 (desde Miami)

(Por Ortega-Maqueda, con la colaboración de Maurizio) La figura de David Beckham merece un análisis específico. Pocas personas en la historia del deporte han logrado la transición de atleta de élite a magnate empresarial con tal maestría.

El terremoto violeta en Argentina: cómo Milei reconfiguró el mapa político y por qué Miami (y USA) prestan tanta atención a este resultado

(Por Taylor & Molina con Maurizio) Miami es mucho más “importante y clave” para Argentina, de lo que muchos creen. El domingo 26 de octubre de 2025 quedará inscrito en la historia política argentina como el día en que el violeta no solo se expandió—se volvió hegemónico.
