http://katieprofunda.blogspot.com/2007/04/english-for-all.html
An American in Madrid. Thursday, April 26, 2007. I found the above clipping in yesterday's El País. Elections in Madrid (for mayor and president of the Comunidad. Are in just over a month, on May 27. I was most interested in a promise made by Rafael Simancas, the socialist candidate for president of the Comunidad. Region), that "100% of young madrileños. Will speak English" thanks to the implementation of the bilingual program in public and concertado. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

españa profunda: Election shenanigans
http://katieprofunda.blogspot.com/2007/05/election-shenanigans.html
An American in Madrid. Sunday, May 06, 2007. Election season is upon us here in España. I'm not incredibly informed, but I like to keep abreast of important developments, like the one. I wrote about the other day. And we've got a new one today. Good old Rafael Simancas, the socialist candidate for the presidency of the Madrid region, has a bone to pick with someone. In what appears to be an honest mistake, the metro station that shares his last name (a stop on line 7) has disappeared.

An American in Madrid. Sunday, May 06, 2007. Today is Día de la Madre. In Spain, in honor of which a couple of friends and I ran in the Carrera de la Mujer. A race for only women that raises money for cancer. Think Race for the Cure. Spanish style. The race shirts were orange, and the line to get water. At the end was outrageously long. But even if it was less a race than a human obstacle course, tons of women came out for it. More than 12,000. And magazines ranging from Cosmo to Runner's World). Katie i...

An American in Madrid. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Portugal is not España, but we share the peninsula with her. And it was about the only place on the peninsula that didn't receive rain during this year's.

Alex and I spent the long weekend meandering through the (rainless! Algarve, the southern coast of Portugal ( map. Of eating meat on this island? I chose tuna and Al...

An American in Madrid. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Easy like Sunday morning. The deluge is over. Madrid is back to its normal sunny self, at least for the time being. The weekend has been gorgeous and the Madrileños are out in full force, doing what they love best: getting dressed and having a drink at one of the hundreds of terrazas. It's Sunday- what else is there to do? Eat and drink, of course. Sit. In a bar or a terraza, people watching, being social . I spent Sunday morning running a race- the second...

An American in Madrid. Saturday, March 24, 2007. 10 Reasons NOT to go to Fallas. Last weekend I went to Valencia with three friends for Las Fallas. What's that you might ask? To put it simply, Valencia's crazy fire festival. Because mi chico. There's always a good excuse to go. I had gone last year with three different friends and had a blast (one of them, now back in the States, said it was her favorite trip from her entire year in Spain), so I decided to return. Impossible not to have a good time.
