<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you old enough to remember the old 'brush your teeth correctly' health education campaign; <i>'up and down, up and down, 'til they're clean and sparkly?'</i> Hmmm, probably not. And surprisingly, it seems to be the only video in the universe which <i>isn't</i> available on Youtube. (Lucky you!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, the Spanish also love a good health education video, so here's their own 'brush you teeth' offering, with a catchy little song for you to sing along to.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Truco o trato!</i> Any guesses? A clue? I heard it a lot last night, <i>31 de octubre</i>...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's something you might have been given (as a <i>trato</i>) if you were out last night:</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I imagine the picture has given the game away by now. Yes, we're talking Hallowe'en <i>en España</i>. Can you guess what <i>Pintalenguas</i> means? You'll need to look up <i>pintar</i> (<i>un verbo</i>) and <i>lengua</i> (<i>un sustantivo</i>) in your Spanish/English <i>diccionarios</i>...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>La respuesta</i> below, so no peeking...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, now you know that <i>pintar</i> means 'to paint'; you might already have known that <i>lengua</i> is tongue'. So, <i>pintalenguas</i> are 'toungue-painting' sweets. You suck them and your tongue turns <i>rojo o negro o naranja</i>, depending on which <i>color</i> you chose.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I hope you had a great Hallowe'en!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But this picture wasn't taken in <i>Pamploma</i>.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why is the little girl carrying a present?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are the answers. <i> </i></span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>1. 'Día a Mamá'</i> (or <i>'Día de la Madre'</i>) is <b>Mothers' Day</b> in Spanish. It's celebrated on the first Sunday in May which this year is tomorrow, the 4th.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2. <i>'Regalos'</i> are presents.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3. See 1 & 2.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">4. See 1 & 2.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The final word in the headline <i>alégrale</i> comes from the verb <i>alegrar</i> which means to cheer up. So the full meaning will be:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Cheer up Mothers' Day with cool presents.</span></span></b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, is 'cool' a Spanish word? Well, no. The Spanish word for cool is <i>guay</i>, but this shop seems to like the English word, which is well understood in Spain.</span></span></div>

I'd suggest that most Spanish of all sweets... some <i>Chupa-Chups!</i> And don't go all British on me by pronouncing <i>Chupa</i> to rhyme with 'cuppa'.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here in Spain, dressing up is very popular. All the children (and staff) in school will come with a home-made or commercially-made costume. To give you a flavour, here are some of the costumes (<i>disfraces</i>) available. Try to guess what they are before you look at the description (below each picture). Why not make it a class quiz?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now stop it! Calm down! This is <u><i>serious</i></u>! We're going to do a little Spanish <i>phonics</i> lesson today and I want you all to concentrate!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We're going to learn about the Spanish letter 'U', and I hope this will be one lesson you'll never forget. (That's if you ever stop laughing!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The letter 'U', named 'you' in English, but 'oo' in Spanish (think of the sound you make when you say the word 'soon') is a very interesting vowel.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In English, it can make a number of different sounds. Think about 'cut' and 'cute' for starters, but also remember some of the other words it gets mixed up in, like 'though', 'busy' and 'cure'.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In Spanish (luckily for you) this sort of muddle doesn't tend to happen. Letters (nearly always) make one sound only. So in Spanish, the letter 'U', which is called 'oo' also makes an 'oo' sound.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, back to where we started and the <b><i>'Bum, bum Madrid'</i></b> headline. Can you now read it as a Spaniard would read it? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Yes, that's right, <b><i>'Boom, boom Madrid'</i></b>. And you can now probably guess (by looking at the score) exactly what it means, Real Madrid have beaten Betis 0-5. The 'boom, boom' suggests destruction, like a bomb going off, blowing poor old Betis to pieces.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Not quite as funny as it looks (to English eyes) but I hope it will help you to remember the Spanish 'U' name and sound.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I just hope your teacher doesn't consider this lesson to be a bit too <i>cheeky</i>! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Boom, boom!</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">N.B. Due to pressure at work and other writing commitments I am going to change the deadline for my <i><b>Spain4Primary</b></i> blog from once a week to once a month. I apologise to everyone, especially those of you who have sent me messages of thanks for various postings. If I spot something really interesting I will add a few 'surprise' postings (and publicise them as usual on the TES forum and Twitter @JeremyJoseDean); but as a rule <i><b>Spain4Primary</b></i> will now appear on the first weekend of every month, starting on the weekend of the 1st of March. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Last week we looked at popular boys' names and translated them into their Spanish equivalents. This week, it's the girls' turn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Let's start again with the most popular 20 girls' names for 2013: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There are a lot of names there without a translation, so here are a few more from the top 30 to keep you going:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">24. Charlotte Carlota</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">36. Ellie Elisa/Isa (<u><i><b>Ee</b></i></u>-sa)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">39. Matilda Matilde</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you want to find a name that I haven't listed, or to find out where you are in the top 100 names for 2013, then go to: <a href="http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a25008173/top-baby-girl-names-2013#ixzz2rAaAwpC9" target="_blank">Top 100 baby names chosen in 2013</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you want to check if your own name has a Spanish variation, I've been using this website: <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/jeremy" target="_blank">Name translator</a> Just pop your name into the search box at the top and you'll find variations for many languages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As I said last week, why not use your 'Spanish' names in your Spanish lessons, so you'll have them on the tips of your tongues the next time you arrive in España ready to make some new amig@s! That's the funky way young Spaniards avoid having to write 'amigos and amigas'. Cool, eh?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hasta pronto, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So what's your name?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I was surprised when I moved to Spain to discover how many <i>Spanish</i> names there were. I expected to find a few, like <i>Miguel</i> and <i>Pedro</i>, <i>Carmen</i> and <i>Isabel</i>. What I wasn't ready for was that pretty much <i>every</i> child in my class would have a 'Spanish' name. I just didn't realise there were so many. I thought a lot of them would have names like us, that we'd share more names. Just shows how much I had to learn.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This week I'm going to look at Spanish boys' names. Next week, we'll look at the girls.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are the top-20 English boys' names for 2013 (the first half of the year) with their Spanish 'translation' if I can find one. If I can't, and you can, let me know and I'll add it to the list. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Note also that I've tried to give you a pronunciation guide. For example, Thomas and <i>Tomás</i> may look almost the same, but Spaniards stress the second syllable while we stress the first:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Oliver No translation found </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">12. Daniel Daniel (say Danielle)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">13. William Guillermo (say Gee <b><u><i>yer </i></u></b>moh using the 'Gee' sound from 'Geek' (<u>not</u> 'Jeep').</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">14. Henry Enrique (again)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">15. Joshua Josué (say Ho-soo-<u><i><b>eh</b></i></u>)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">17. Noah Noé (say No-<u><i><b>eh</b></i></u>)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">18. Alexander Alejandro (say Al eh <u><i><b>han</b></i></u> dro)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">19. Benjamin Benjamín (say Ben yah<i><b> </b></i><b><u><i>meen</i></u></b>)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">20. Dylan NTF</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of the other common Spanish name translations which you might need are:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Edward Eduardo</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Michael Miguel (say Mee-<u><i><b>gel</b></i></u> with 'gel' to have a hard 'g' like in '<u><i><b>g</b></i></u>et' not hair '<u><i><b>g</b></i></u>el') </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ralph Raúl (say Rah-<u><i><b>ool</b></i></u>) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why don't you 'adopt' a Spanish name for your Spanish classes? Then you can get into the swing of pronouncing them, ready for your next visit to España where you'll no doubt need them!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Next week, <i>las chicas!</i> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So you've bought all the presents, decorated the tree, left out some carrots and a mince pie, opened the presents, eaten the turkey, even celebrated New Year. It must be all over by now!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">But not here in <i>España</i>. If you really, <i>really</i>, <u><i>REALLY</i></u> love Christmas, then Spain is the place for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It was the 5th of January when I got a call from a friend telling me to go down to my local port if I was interested in Spanish traditions. I arrived to find that I wasn't alone. There were hundreds of people there, most dressed in 'Sunday best', all looking out to sea...</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Can't spot them? Look closer...</span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">See them now? It's the Three Kings (<i>Reyes Magos</i> in Spanish); Melchior, Baltazar and Gaspar arriving by boat! Actually, you shouldn't be too surprised by the boat, because (according to newspaper and TV reports) in other towns and cities across Spain they were arriving by all manner of transport including catamaran (<i>Marbella</i>) and helicopter (<i>Fuengirola</i>).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Having arrived and disembarked these <i>Reyes</i> continued their tour of the town...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">... by open-top car!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Across Spain, Kings led processions through towns and villages (sometimes throwing sweets) wishing everybody well for what is traditionally the Spanish Christmas Day on January <u><i>6th</i></u>!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I spoke to a number of my Spanish friends and discovered that until quite recently, Spanish children received their presents on the 6th. But in more recent years, Santa Claus (<i>Papa Noel</i>) has joined the party and many (lucky) young Spaniards now get presents on the 25th of <i>diciembre</i> <i><u>and</u></i> the 6th of <i>enero</i>!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You can see the tradition changing in the streets of my local town where you'll see the <i>Reyes Magos</i> visiting...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Many families visit the large <i>Belénes</i> in shopping centres, town halls, shops. But the most fun seems to be the one you build at home, adding a piece or two every year from the markets which sell all the stuff in the pictures. I took these snaps in Valencia's Mercado Colón in early December, and it really was quite a small collection. I know there's a much bigger market for <i>Belén</i> materials outside the <i>catedral</i> in <b>Barcelona</b> every year. So if you're in Spain over the Cristmas season, why not pick up a souvenir. Like one of these...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's a verb meaning to stick or to glue. (It does have other meanings.)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Change it a little bit and you get <i>pegamento</i>. Which means glue. </span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Can you work out what <i>'blanco escolar'</i> means?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Pegamento en barra</i> is a glue stick.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And you can also get a <i>pega pen</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And finally (this is what I've been leading up to, the 'favourite toy' bit)... <i>una pegatina</i>?</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Which is a 'sticker'. And here's <i>Bob Esponja (va al médico)</i>. And I'll bet your Spanish is good enough to translate that. (Look at the picture, carefully!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Finally, while I was searching the internet looking for Spanish gluey things, I came across this.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'll help you out, <i>Pablo Diablo</i> literally translates as 'Paul the Devil'. Or in English... Horrid Henry!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Sí señor</i> (that's how Spaniards say, 'Yes, sir!' when they want to emphasise something), it's a dog toilet! Isn't <u>that</u> something you don't see in the middle of Oxford Street! Although I've been out of the UK for nearly <i>ocho años</i>, so, who knows?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, I think it's a nice thought. A bit of privacy for Rover or Spike or whoever. Actually, Spanish dogs can have some quite strange <i>nombres</i>. A <i>vecino</i> (neighbour) had one called Rocky. Yes, a <u>Spanish</u> <i>perro</i> called 'Rocky'. And no, it wasn't a huge great beast; many Spaniards live in flats so the majority of <i>perros</i> I see (including this one) are <i>muy pequeño</i>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Another one I know <i>se llama Luna, </i>which means 'moon', even thought it isn't round or white. It's actually a skinny little brown thing. <i>Luna</i>? Doesn't seem right.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And did you know, <i>perros españoles</i> don't go, 'Woof, woof!' like British ones do? Well, so the children in my class insist. They tell me <i>perros en</i> <i>España</i> go '<i>Wow, wow!</i>' </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">My guess is they only say that when they see their very own dog toilet. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In fact, I think I said it myself when I spotted it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'Wow!'</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I often have trouble giving my name over the phone.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'Dean,' I'll say.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'Bean?' they'll respond. (At least I think that's what they've said.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'No, <u><i>De</i></u>an,' I'll repeat, stressing the 'Deee,' bit.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'Team?' they'll reply, <i>not</i> stressing the 'Deee,' bit.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's at this point that I go back to my childhood, and use a nifty little method which my mates and I taught ourselves when we were about 7- or 8-years-old.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'Delta, echo, alpha, November,' I'll say with a flourish.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Job done.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's the <i>NATO and International Aviation Phonetic Alphabet</i> and it's really useful to know, especially if your name has a lot of the tricky letters that all sound remarkably too similar: B, C, D, E, G, P, T, V (and Z if you're in the United States).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But what do I do here in Spain? Can I shout, 'Delta, echo, alpha, November,' down the phone and expect Pedro or María to understand. The answer is, 'probably, no.' So what do I do? Well, the <i>real</i> answer is I panic as I fail to think of <i>any</i> Spanish words starting with a 'D'. So the next obvious question is, 'Do the Spanish have their own version which I could look up and (more importantly) <i>learn</i>?'</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And the answer is, 'Sí!'</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In fact, it's not just Spain which has its own version as you can see here: <a href="http://morsecode.scphillips.com/alphabet.html" target="_blank">Phonetic Alphabets (Selection)</a> But it's Spain which I'm obviously going to concentrate on. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So what do I say if 'D-E-A-N.' is misheard on the phone?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Easy, <i>'Dolores-Enrique-Antonio-Navarra.'</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And if I need to spell 'Jeremy'?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">'José-Enrique-Ramón-Enrique-Madrid-Yegua.'</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, if you want to be really helpful to your parents, on your next trip to Spain, when they need an address (your hotel, a restaurant, the street that the bus
to the airport departs from… in ten minutes…) have a go at learning the Spanish phonetic alphabet. Here it is, with a few notes on what all the words mean and how to pronounce them:</span></span></div>

Interestingly enough (well, I thought it was interesting), Spanish doesn’t have
any words beginning with the letter ‘w’. Any words you do find in a Spanish
dictionary will be foreign (what are often called 'loan' words). My dictionary has ten entries: walkie-talkie,
walkman (I guess there’ll be nine in the next edition), Washington, wáter
(meaning toilet), waterpolo, wátman (meaning ‘cool’!?), whisky, Winchester,
windsurf and WWW.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

It's a toy, and a prized one in this area. The game you play with it is simple. You chase your mates all over the place. I see them quite often here. Some are clearly 'home made', like this one.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It's all a lot of fun chasing your mates around the park, but every now and again things get <u>much</u> more interesting when a team of professional chasers come to a town's <i>fiesta</i> bringing their own very special friends...</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of the children are remarkably <i>big</i> for their age, don't you think?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">If you're ever in Spain, especially over the summer months, it's worth checking out in the local press or the <i>oficina de turismo</i> to see if one of these 'bull-runs' is on. They're called <i>encierros infantiles</i> and you'd be very welcome to join in...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'll finish with a video I shot in a town called <i>Nules</i> near <i>Valencia</i>. Watch out for the 5th bull... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://youtu.be/cjodJ5a-arE" target="_blank">Encierro infantil, Nules</a></span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A
sad note to end on, and a serious warning: While all this running around and
screaming while being chased by a man with a bull on wheels is clearly great
fun, don’t let it mask the fact that the ‘real thing’ is an extremely dangerous
affair. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Adults running with <i>real bulls</i> (<i>toros</i>) is very popular in certain parts of
Spain, like here, in the <i>Valencian</i> community. If you look closely in the videos
you’ll see the ‘cages’ (called <i>cadafales</i>)
where people run to safety when a real bull is loose on the streets. Spectators
stand inside the cages or sit in the seats on top. And sadly, every year, the
local newspapers report serious injuries and deaths during these small-town
bull-running fiestas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In fact, four days after I filmed this <i>encierro infantil</i> in <i>Nules</i>, a man was killed. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Do you know your ABC? Of course you do! But do you know your <i>ABECEDARIO</i>? Your <i>Spanish</i> ABC.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It's often surprisingly useful to know your ABC in Spanish. I remember once phoning a Spanish hotel and asking them for directions. They said the name of the street, but I couldn't make sense of the word. It sounded like '<i>noo-<u><b>way</b></u>-bay-day-ok-<u><b>too</b></u>-bray</i>' which is what I wrote down, ready to show to a taxi-driver. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But I wasn't sure I'd got it right, so I asked the receptionist to spell it. Luckily I knew my <i>ABECEDARIO</i> as my hotel turned out to be in <i>Plaza Nueve de Octubre</i>. Which is Ninth of October Square. (The 9th of October is a big <i>fiesta</i> day in Valencia, commemorating the day in 1238 when Valencia was won back from Arab invaders.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, here's a neat little song from the <i>'Tio Spanish'</i> (Uncle Spanish) team, which will help you learn your ABECEDARIO, all 27 letters of it.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now, does anyone know why there are 27?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3EyBIXvfHc" target="_blank">Tio Spanish ABECEDARIO</a></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Finally, did you notice how young people are getting around the <i>camarero/a</i> issue by using <i>camarer@</i> to stand for both? They're using the '<i>@</i>' symbol (called <i>arroba</i> in Spanish) for lots of words which use 'o' and 'a' to change the gender. I think it's pretty <a href="http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=guay" target="_blank"><i>guay</i></a>!

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Fiesta</i>. Can you think of a more 'Spanish' word? But what does it actually mean? The dictionary will tell you it means 'party', 'festival' or 'celebration', but live here for any amount of time and you'll discover that<i> 'fiesta' </i>can cover much more. This is the first of a number of posts which will try to show you some of the meanings.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">So you know how to say it, but do you know how it’s made? To be
honest, <i>paella</i> is a little like
Italian pizza in that there are many variations. <i>Paella</i> originated in the <i>Valencia</i>
region, so <i>paella Valenciana</i> is
probably the most traditional version. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">Let’s have a look at one being made. But this isn’t an ordinary <i>paella</i>. This is a <i>paella</i> for a local <i>fiesta</i>
(party or celebration) so this is going to be a <i>paella monumental</i>. Can you guess what that means? You probably will
when I tell you that the first thing you'll need to do is close the street. (<i>Monumental</i>
means enormous.) </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">Light a fire and a heat up a large <i>paella</i> pan. (Locals will tell you that the wood must come from the
local orange trees.) The pan in the picture can feed 6,000, although today it's
'only' going to cater for 2,000. So, oil the pan and throw in some chicken (<i>pollo</i>) and rabbit (<i>conejo</i>) to fry gently.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">You can enjoy <i>paella</i> hot
or cold. Traditionally it was a lunchtime meal for the farmers out in the rice fields
south of <i>Valencia</i>. Nowadays, these <i>paellas
monumentales</i> are often held as fundraisers. Everyone is welcome, and a 3 or
4 <i>euro</i> (2 or 3 pounds) ticket will
get you a plate of <i>paella</i>, a drink (<i>una bebida</i>) and a place at the hottest
table in town. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: black;">It can take over an hour to cook, so usually there will be some
'regional entertainment' to keep you occupied while you build up an appetite.
It was the arab invaders, over 1,000 years ago, who brought rice to this part
of Spain and started the paella tradition, so, what could be more appropriate
than a ‘belly-dance’? </span><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Do you have 'crazes' that go through your school? Football cards? Hippie Sticks? Skipping? It's the same here in <i>España</i>. Every couple of months a new craze will take over the playground (<i>patio</i>). We've had marbles (<i>canicas</i>), Monster High dolls... and just before the summer hols, <i>PEONZAS</i>! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Have <i>peonzas</i> ever become a 'craze' in your school? What? You don't know what a <i>peonza</i> is?? Watch this...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/DQR8eUMIVCw" target="_blank">Formula uno</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is Gustavo Castro (from Mexico), professional spinning top demonstrator/competitor. He showed up in the 'park' near where we live one evening and gave a masterclass to a couple of dozen children. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's his 'spinning on the tongue' trick... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/MEJ9bjeud08" target="_blank">Spinning on tongue.</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I was young spinning tops were made of wood, but the latest models are
now mostly plastic with steel tips, and some of the children at school got quite
good at getting them to spin for long periods. But none of them could do this...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/BgJufSnso5k" target="_blank">Skipping</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Or this...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/jDxl8N_8i6Y" target="_blank">Very high throw... and catch!</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And finally, this. What I call his 'Messi' display. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://youtu.be/3gHa3ZJmtx8" target="_blank">Messi-top skills.</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Impressive, isn't it? And no, there's no messing about with the video, this was me and him in a park. (With a couple of dozen Spanish <i>chicos</i> and <i>chicas</i> gazing wide-eyed and then trying it all out for themselves.) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So go on. Get down to your local toy shop and pick up a<i> peonza</i> (they're sometimes called <i>'trompos'</i>) and see what you can do? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I would have shot more video but towards the end some of the children started trying out the 'very high throw and catch' trick. Except it turned out to be more of a 'very high throw and hit people on the head' trick. So I went home...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">C U next week for some more Spanish street life...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I imagine you've guessed straight away. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed over large parts of northern Spain. This summer, I went to <i>Enciso</i> in <i>La Rioja</i> to investigate.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>Enciso</i> is especially famous for its <i>icnitas</i>, or </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">fossilised </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">dinosaur footprints. You'll find many dinosaur footprints here (over 1,000), a lot of them on the <i>'Ruta de los Dinosaurios'</i> (Route of the Dinosaurs), a 6km <i>senda</i> (footpath) through the hills. As well as the real <i>icnitas</i>, preserved in the rock, there are some pretty cool life-sized models of the <i>dinosaurios</i> which left them. It's great fun doing the walk as you never know what (or <i>who!</i>) you'll bump into around the next corner! Here's some of what I saw...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There's lots more to <i>Enciso</i> than the <i>'ruta'</i>. There's a <i>museo</i> which has some fantastic fossils.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There's also <i>el Barranco Perdido</i> (the Lost Canyon) an adventure park next to the start of the <i>'ruta'</i> which has rope-bridges, zip-wires, swimming pools, 3D films and more. Check out their video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxCcDcLmeGQ&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">El Barranco Perdido video.</a> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">And remember, if you need any help convincing your parents that a trip to the <i>La Rioja </i>region of <i>España</i> is worth it, then remind them that it's where the famous <i>Rioja</i> wine is produced, and that the capital, <i>Logroño</i>, has some of the best <i>tapas</i> bars in Spain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Extras: If you're ever unsure how to pronounce a Spanish word, check out the Collins online dictionary which has sound-files so you can hear the words spoken by a Spaniard.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">My nieces visit us here in Spain and they’re amazed at the amount of
dog-mess there is on the streets. (N.B. Spaniards use the word <i>caca, </i>pronounced like the first two syllables in the word<i> <u>Maca</u>rena.</i>) We find the amount of <i>caca</i> on the street quite interesting. When I was
their age, younger even, dog-mess (that will be <i>caca de perro</i>) on the street (in London, my hometown) was an
everyday obstacle. The idea that anyone should pick it up and put it in a bag
was simply unheard-of. Madness.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">I remember
seeing an item on the news one night about a town in the U.S.A. (I think it was
in California) where a law had been passed forcing dog-owners to do just
that. Well, how we laughed! Those crazy Americans! There were a few other crazy
ideas around at the time, I remember. Like forcing everybody to wear a
seat-belt! Or not allowing them to smoke in pubs and restaurants. What lunacy.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">I can’t quite
work out why we laughed. I mean, I didn’t exactly like carrying mounds of <i>caca de perro</i> into our house and spreading it all over the carpets. (My mum wasn’t
too keen on it either.) But laugh we did, and then, of course, everything
changed.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">When we
came to Spain it was like we’d travelled back thirty or forty years. Heaps
of <i>caca de perro</i> and not a scooper in sight. Until quite recently when signs and posters
began to appear, like this one in <i>Burriana</i>. Things are changing in Spain. You see more and
more people scooping it up. (You also have to wear a seat-belt and can’t smoke
in bars and restaurants.)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">And in case you
think this is just a joke, note that <u><i>in the UK</i></u> nearly 100
children are partially blinded every year by Toxicariasis, the disease spread
by the larvae of the Toxocara canis worm that lives in a dog’s intestine. I
haven’t been able to find comparable figures for Spain, but common sense would suggest the figure would be higher.</span></span></span></div>
