Re: ANYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THE PRICES FOR SPAIN?

I got it! I got it!!! I GOT IT!!! ! Yihaaaaaa!!!!! First row ticket for the Bilbao concert :lol: I paid 85 euros (including taxes). Not cheap, but I would have paid even more to see the man live. Leonard Cohen in Bilbao, it's much more thrilling that I would have ever expected. Eagerly waiting for s...

Well, the very first time I heard "We'll go no more a-roving", it was Joan's version. And I loved it!

Tom & all, I've recently read about this issue in Spanish newspapers as well. As far as I know, Lorca was murdered by a right-wing Falangist squad, and buried at Viznar, a small village near Granada, along with an old schoolmaster and two anarchist bullfighters. The name of the canyon where his ...

Hi, Makera Don't Basques have their own language/dialect? Also, don't some use a whistling 'language' in the mountains, to be heard accross the valleys? Or have I got it mixed up with something else.

Hi, Makera OK, problem solved. Thank you for your explanations and your kind --and undeserved-- compliments about my English. As for my 'in-joke' regarding "pedantry", I must explain.(...) The reason for this is, being lovers of correct English grammar, pronunciation and usage, we are cons...
