Esto, que es obvio, se engloba en un problema más amplio, que es cuándo va a entrar la competencia en la red de ancho ibérico. #Renfe no parece tener ninguna prisa, y con razón: al contrario que en la red de alta velocidad, donde se pueden traer trenes de Francia o Italia (que es lo que han hecho Ouigo e Iryo) en la convencional el material o lo tiene Renfe o hay que comprarlo nuevo y a medida.
He visto un chorro de personas con ideologías políticas raras. Pero la más rara que veo hasta ahora son los boricuas que quieren la independencia de #PuertoRico con EE.UU para volver a ser colonia de #España. Los españoles se fueron de PR hace más de un siglo men. Déjenlo ir ya.
Me spending 2 weeks researching the perfect paella place and studying Spanish all to work up the courage to call them for "una mesa afuera para dos para el almuerzo este viernes, por favor. A mi amigo y a mí nos gustaría pedir una paella valenciana, si está disponible. Muchas gracias."
Only to hear "we are full for the next two weeks." 🫠😭
The Bombing of Guernica happened today in 1937. It was a new and horrible cooperation between fascists states (Francoist Spain, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy) to bomb civilians and ultimately lay the blame for the mass casualties on "guerrillas”, “terrorists”... in this case “Reds”.
Tengo una pregunta acerca de un viaje que pienso hacer — EEUU a Alicante.
Me parece bien ir desde Barajas hasta Chamartín para poder cumplir mi viaje a Alicante por tren (en lugar de esperar 4 horas en aeropuerto y después tener un vuelo de una hora).
Me gustaría saber ¿es un locura?!?
De lo que veo en internet, no me parece tan difícil, ni tan caro.
“Everything at 100 pesetas”
(Everything at a low price)
A throwback sign on a side street in Petrer, Alicante, Spain.
The peseta was Spain’s monetary unit from 1868 until 2002 when it was replaced by the euro. The original exchange rate was approximately: 166 pesetas = 1 euro.
A picture of success. Of reconnection with family roots. Of successful navigation of an unfamiliar bureaucracy. Of obtaining a privilege of our heritage.
My daughter and son got their passports this week!!
This marks the completion of a journey started in October 2021. I missed my first opportunity in my 20s. I wasn't going to let this one slip by, for me or them!
If you are not a citizen of Spain but a child or grandchild of a Spaniard feel free to ask me about the process. #Spain#españa
I didn't realize we vote for both the Lower (Diputados) and Upper (Senadores) Houses! Imagine that, fellow Canadians, an elected Senate!? I can vote for up to 3 candidates from the same or different parties to represent my region of Valencia. I am surprised there is still Franco's fascist Falange party. #canpoli
‘It’s totally broken down’: tourism surge forcing Ibiza’s workers to live in car parks” by Sam Jones #TheGuardian
“In Ibiza – as in neighbouring Mallorca and in the Canary islands – it is increasingly obvious that neither the island nor its housing market can put up with the huge numbers of tourists that arrive each year.
“Over the past five years – but mainly since the pandemic – people have been feeling that everything’s oversaturated, that there are more and more tourists, and that leads to roads and public services becoming overloaded,” says Rafael Giménez, of Prou Eivissa (Enough Ibiza), a group that is campaigning for limits on the number of visitors and vehicles onthe island.
“Ibiza’s an island, so housing is limited by definition. The law of supply and demand has totally broken down.”
Ayer era mi día libre y estuve con la familia, así que no tuve ni tiempo ni ganas de seguir en directo las #elecciones en #Galicia. Así que vamos ahora con el 'post mortem' a ver qué pinta tiene.
Albufera. Just south of Valencia, Spain, is a significant wetland area call La Albufera (the coastal lagoon). The modern Albufera ecosystem has developed over many centuries hand in hand with the production of rice.
SUCCESS!! Just got confirmation from the Spanish Consultate in Toronto of an appointment in Vancouver to complete the kids’ passport applications (fingerprints) on April 12.
It's happening! They're gonna have Spanish/EU passports!!!
(And we successfully avoided the cost/CO2/hassle of flying to Toronto!)
#Bonjour! I need the help of someone who is located in #Paris, to go into the Cimetière Montmarte and take a couple of photos for me.
The De la Cruz family tombstone is in division 21, ligne 2/65, on the Avenue Cordier. I'm happy to offer 20 EUR to anyone who can get me some good snapshots of it.
For all of you not in Paris, please boost so that this request reaches #France!
