Mapfre Re has many peculiarities, not least that it is one of the few reinsurers to still be part of a major global insurance group decades after it became fashionable to divest and separate insurance from reinsurance.

It also looks after the reinsurance buying for its global top 20 insurer parent.

This gives it a unique perspective of the market, which I think you will find refreshing.
