Spanish Month at VLLC. Share your stories of all things Spanish with us!

This month we are focusing on all things Spanish.  Other than completing my Certificate I in Spanish 15 years ago, and attempting to learn Latin dancing, I have had zero experience with the Hispanic culture.  While I was learning Italian, my tutors kept telling me I was sounding like an Italian person speaking Spanish and I must admit that if I didn’t know a word, I tried an Italian one to keep the conversation going.  It worked 50% of the time.

But this year we went to the beautiful city of Madrid and were wowed by the history and grandeur of this wonderful European city.  We were amazed at how ‘alive’ the city was and rather than small cobblestoned streets, there were wide, broad boulevards with lots of greenery and parks.  We also  couldn’t believe how late people (including small children) ate!!

The Royal Palace was larger than any I have seen in Russia (would you believe it) and we went into the oldest restaurant in the world which was founded in 1725.  The history of the place (Botin Restaurant) is amazing and its specialty is whole suckling pigs (I have a photo but didn’t want to offend anyone!!). 

​But what amazed me the most was all the shops with jambon – Jamón Ibérico is considered the finest ham in the world. 

​


Every second shop was filled with this delicacy and priced accordingly.  Yes I did try a few varieties and it was best on fresh bread with butter (a bit like caviar!!)
I’ve only seen a little part of Spain and nothing of South America – I’d love to hear some of your stories…
