Danke, I'm grateful for the feedback. Glad to hear from you, Hitman. I visited Spain several years ago: Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona -- marvelous country! Such variety of culture and landscape! No wonder the Roman generals retired there (y ahora los ingleses!)

Ahh so you have been here and also visited all those cities
You beat me to that, I have visited nearly all EU but never been in the USA -which I would like to do some day, when my childs grow-. Spain is an interesting country and it would be even better if we could find a way to stop disputing among ourselves

Btw, I wrote two movie scripts about Americans involved in La Guerra Civil. Both won writing awards but did not sell -- I learned the hard way, Hollywood is the wrong place for writers who care about history!

That's interesting
but I guess our civil war is a problematic stuff for Hollywood...because if you put your characters with the Fascists you are playing a "wrong" side, and placing them with the Republicans means being pro-soviet to the wide public, something not much appreciated in the US AFAIK.
It was the most terrible war, brother against brother
and unfortunately it is still close in some people's minds here. Lost of "revisionists" lately, I'm afraid :hmm: and while I understand their POW, the younger generations like mine want mainly to put that all in the past once and for all
