Hello! I’m back again with one of my favorite types of posts, links! Let me show you what I found interesting on the interwebs lately.
The Best Spain Tours, featuring—you guessed it!—Zamora. “This part of Spain is a far cry from the crowds, beaches and tourist traps and a place where you will recognize a different aspect of Spain”
Sufjan Stevens Writes an Open Letter to Miley Cyrus: You’ve Been LYING. Is it so hard to differentiate between lay and lie, Miley?
13 Pictures of Crazy Goats on Cliffs. Random, I know, but just go look at these crazy goats. The Spanish expression “estar como una cabra” is starting to make a lot more sense now.
Welcome to Madrid! Here’s a Long List of Things You Are Not Allowed to Do. Including, but not limited to: dangerous rollerblading, washing a dog in public, or placing a potted plant unsafely on a balcony (look out below!).
Columbus Day: East Meets West. What would medieval Spaniards have eaten? They didn’t have potatoes, beans, peppers, or even tomatoes. No chocolate! Ugh, the horror.
And now en español:
El Mundo en una Croqueta. Do you like croquetas, croquettes? Of course you do. Check out this article about one of Madrid’s more-daring croquette restaurants, La Gastrocroquetería de Chema.
Para Entendernos por Ahí Perfectamente. Snippet: “El inglés es una lengua endiablada, y lo sabemos quienes llevamos toda la vida manejándonos con ella, siempre de manera imperfecta …”
Haley, Thanks for the link. I shared your link on FB. Good to see a posting from you again.
I love those goats! And a whole restauarant of croquetas? My favourite type of tapas! I’m moving to Madrid in February and will be sure to hunt that one out….
Yes, it’s quite good, but a bit more expensive than a normal “tapas bar.” Nonetheless, a great place for a medium-expensive dinner (maybe like €20/person) and it’s not something you’ll have anywhere else!
