Did you think we had forgotten our virtual travel in February? I'm afraid not...the thing is, in February "nos ha pillado el toro". Do you know this idiom? It's very common in Spain. We use it when we want to refer to when we've tried to do a lot of things, but finally we didn't because we didn't have enough time. So in February that was our problem, but in any case, we want to travel with you!! Because we want to go to Segovia! It's a beautiful city in Castilla y Leon, very close to Madrid. I'm...

Today we want to speak about a celebration that it's not very popular in Spain: San Valentin. Even though it's very common to find shops with a lot of flowers and hearts, I think in Spain we don't celebrate it like other countries. For example, my husband and I never give each other gifts for Valentine's, and we don't go out for dinner in special restaurants......Am I unromantic?Maybe...but I don't think so, because my friends don't do it either. Maybe younger generations, the people who are in ...
