“Ok Google”: The blackout, Berghain and why the popes changed their names, among the most searched things this year in Spain | technology

AI was not yet one of the most popular December traditions, although Gemini was the most searched for this year on Google around the world. As is the norm every year as these lockdown periods approach, the technology has revealed the list of the most searched queries of the past 12 months. It’s about trends that drive users every time they have a question and go straight to it com.guglearla. In Spain, in 2025, the biggest concern is the loss of the power outage that occurred in April that affected the entire peninsula. The peak of searches is reflected in this keyword and in the question “Why did the light go out?”

As usual, weather events are also displayed in the search engine with current queries such as “alert rains”, “incendios España” and “que Significa dana”. But one of the major moments of the year around the world was the arrival of the new Pope at the Vatican. For this reason, the name Leon

Moreover, the war in Gaza acquired great importance for the benefit of the Spanish people, thanks mainly to the Global Resilience Fleet that left Barcelona on 31 August. The conflict in the Near East is also reflected in the questions “Why is Israel attacking Iran” and “Why is sand a symbol of Palestine”.

In the main searches of the year, there were also various published questions such as Premio Planeta 2025 led by Juan del Val, and television programs such as RevolutionOr the fire of the labobus or the migration of the monarch butterfly. Whether it’s films or series, it highlights the projects that drove the awards and conversations as they go Anura, Sirat, Hacker, Emilia Perez the Adolescence.

Who is he…

In addition to Leon Lalachus and his role in Campanadas, the actor Salva Reina and Goya or Karla Sofía Gascón and his controversial tweets, complete the list in which he is also the hero of the latest edition of Island of temptations Montoya, singer Rosalía, wrestler Elia Topuria and tennis player Carlos Alcaraz.

What does that mean…

If there’s something that makes people Google ask the meaning of concepts they don’t know. Even Rosalía’s latest album had an impact on this list despite being published in November. This year in Spain highlights searches for terms such as “Berghain”, “edadismo”, “queer”, “PH”, “dana”, “woke”, “nudapropiedad”, “FOMO”, “PEC” or “la hora espejo”.

Which is better…

Among the terms that most users compared this year to see which is better, the intervention of artificial intelligence stands out, the star of many conversations this year with the question “Gemini or ChatGPT”. The rest of the conceptual battles included “diesel or gasoline,” “butter or margarine,” “joint or individual recognition,” “buying or renting a car,” “delay before or after training,” “retinol or retinal,” and “creatine or protein.”

How to do…

Other questions that caught people’s attention when they went to search for something in the search bar were creative things like “how to take photos using AI,” and trivial questions like “how to make a fire with two friends” or “how to do a trivial task at work.” In this task, recipes can be undisputed champions. In this case, I’m interested in matcha, homemade crepes, crumbled biscuits, homemade yoghurt or Dubai chocolate.
