Pop Spain


Spanish pop culture 101: the top ten Spanish celebrities via Notes From Spain.

Click here and work back via a url trim to earlier posts. Their blog has a wierd set up. Notes From Spain has an excellent podcast that we use to learn Spanish.

My favorite celeb: The Dutchess of Alba, of course!

Notes From Spain's David Hall:
This woman defies explanation at the best of times, but I?ll try based on what I know about her. Someone told me recently that she?s one of the most pure Royals in Spain (even giving old Juan Carlos a run for his money) and has a family tree going back countless centuries. She turns up (often in her surgical stockings) at pretty much every social event in Spain, and manages to look horrific at them all! There was some kind of major controversy early last year when protests were held against her being awarded an honorary title within Andaluc?a, but I haven?t been able to get a full grip on the details. Maybe one of you will know? Anyway, seeing is believing, so take a look (and a listen indeed, as the voice is real treat too!) - this video is the genuine article...
