What's new up the Setas?

I was back there again yesterday evening - can't seem to stay away from the place. Seville's Metropol Parasol, which has now been finished for two months, changes every time I go there.

Menos gritos y mas palabras

After the excitement which surrounded the climax of the public pre-election protest last week - 15M, Democracia Real Ya, the Spanish revolution - the atmosphere is changing: evolving and developing, in a constructive way.

22M, 15M and a peaceful revolution?

Today is such a momentous day for news in Spain, I don't really know where to begin.

The earth moved.

It won't have escaped your notice that there was an earthquake here in Spain last week.

On Wednesday two quakes (4.5, then 5.2) in Lorca, a medieval town in Murcia province, caused considerable damage and injuries; some people died. The Prince and Princess of Asturias comforted the mourners at a funeral last week, while President Zapatero also visited the town.

That time of year

Yes, it's May and that means that by the end of next month, you have to submit your tax return to the Spanish authorities. If you're like me, you will want to make sure that you have got all your paperwork sorted out in plenty of time.

Walk for a good cause.

Do you live in or near Malaga? Do you enjoy walking?
