I put out the Spain is Different Magazine to the list yesterday and as usual the feedback and response was excellent. Thanks for that. So here it is on the blog. Download or look at the latest Spain in Different here. And what does it have this time?
The transition to democracy in Spain.
How to steal a cat
Do what you love and love what you do
There is a story in the latest Spain is Different Magazine about me and how I first came to the country. Why was it? Well it’s partially about Marco Tardelli, and if that doesn’t get you to read it in curiosity then nothing will.
You can see the latest Spain is Different here.
It also includes stories about.
Strawberries
Catalan Cultural Nationalism
Bureaucracy and Opening a Business in Spain
I wrote this a couple of years ago and people on my mailing list (Sign up below in the pop up) or those who read EZine Articles have seen it before but just realised that it had never been seen on this blog. So here you go the unofficial rules of driving in Spain.
Driving in Spain is fun on the open road as there is a huge country to be discovered and very few speed cameras out there in the middle of nowhere. However as you get into the big cities it becomes a lot less fun, or even funnier depending on your point of view.
What you need to know about this is the following:
1) You always have right of way if you have the loudest horn, are not nervous about sticking the front end of your car into oncoming traffic and don’t mind a few bumps and scratches
Welcome to the ninth issue of Spain is Different. As usual two ways of getting it. You can read the PDF directly on the page here or download it from Dropbox here. (This will mean you can open up links without leaving the page)
So what do we have for you this week?

Who filmed what, where in Spain?

Spain continues to be different of course even after eight weeks of telling you about it. So here is issue number eight of Spain is Different which again has the interview giveaways but also includes the following:

So what do you get this time?
If you are not following me on Twitter @grahunt, following the Facebook page for Valencia Property, or on one of my lists, you can sign up for getting the Spain is Different magazine on this page, then you may have missed issue six of Spain is Different.
Take a look at the latest issue with stories about the World’s first foldable electric car (Made in Spain), all about visiting a world of silence and darkness at the caves in Castellón, a guest post about why you should get a survey done on a property in Spain, skiing in the Pyrenees, one town coping with a huge wodge of cash coming in thanks to the lottery (Apart from one guy), barlife in Granada, a hint of corruption, the story of a Facebook page with 72000 people on it disappearing and more including me really annoying a Flamenco dancer by suggesting that Flamenco does not equal Spain.
I have released the latest issue of the Spain is Different Magazine to subscribers. Two problems came up. It was due to go out last night but I timed it wrong and that is a good job too because, secondly, I put the wrong link in too! So rather than reading about another way to make a tortilla, the vintage train in Mallorca, Mourinho and Madrid and a match made in hell, money saving tips from Maxine Raynor, short snippets of Spanish oddities, economic news, and an editorial about the battle for the soul of Spain people were reading about an attic flat in Valencia! Mea culpa.
