...you have the opportunity to go see a very special production called Forever Young in Teatre Nacional de Catalunya  in Barcelona until next Thursday? The original play is from Tennessee Williams and evolves around a young gigolo and an aging, washed-up actress. The play deals with themes like fear of growing old and the power of money.

...Valencia has a beautiful Botanical Garden which was founded in 1567? Especially now, in summer, it is worth a visit. If you're not up for a walk you can also take a  virtual tour.

>>> Spanish film review <<<

Movie:

Perfecto Amor Equivocado
Director: Gerardo Chijona

First words:

'Buenos dias'

Public:

Mainly couples
To see or not to see? If you understand Spanish really well and you can deal with different accents in which Spanish is spoken: Go see it!
 

It was a hot Sunday night and there were 25 people in the cinema to watch this romantic comedy. What yours truly didn't know, was that it was Spanish spoken with a Cuban accent, which made it quite difficult to understand every word that was said. It also seems that the Cuban have a slightly different vocabulary. We saw lots of half naked women and even a completely nude man, we learned how to argue and swear and also according to the laughter around us a couple of good jokes were made.
