    A nasty piece of work if ever there was. I don't know if you've been to Valle de los Caidos which is his final resting place? What a chilling experience!

      No, i haven't been there. And although I try to read up on the history of every country I visit, I couldn't get very far into the hefty tome I purchased entitled 'The History of Spain'. I must confess that I fell off the literary wagon when frequent mentions of the Falangists came to the fore.

          Very, very difficult language. I just picked up enough of the language for the basics, such as to order two beers, two coffees, half a kilo or oranges at the market, cheese and bread and similar stuff. Very much appreciated by the Basques when they know you had made the effort.

            Not really successful, but isn’t Roberto Martinez from that area ?

              He's a Catalan. As is Pep.
