The same goes for the "Festival Internacional Cervantino", which is one of the most important cultural events in Latin America. This is one of the few events that brings high-quality artists from all over the world to the beautiful city of Guanajuato, Mexico. http://www.festivalcervantino.gob.mx

If you go, you will see the "mature" people attending the fine cultural events, and thousands of college students partying on the streets. It gets really wild. Every year the police say they will enforce their non-tolerance policy towards drunken crowds, but the truth is that all these young people bring lots of money in revenue to the local businesses. Probably the same is going on in la Cartuja.

Hey, I can think of something you should never do! smile
It sounds so similar, I guess it's tempting to say you are 'excitada/o' when you are feeling excited about whatever....well, don't! Here it's only used with a sexual connotation, if you get what I mean. :o

On the other hand, if you were constipated and (acting out on an unexplainable TMI attack! rolleyes ) declared yourself 'constipada/o', people would understand that you are suffering from (a much more dignifiable) cold. laugh

Hello, everyone! I am new to this message board. I did read that you should not touch the fruit at the grocery store in Spain as it is considered rude. You should ask what you want.
Also, expect to wait in line for most things as the Spanish are very relaxed people.
By no means, I am no expert, but I do have a friend that lives is Seville.
He is the reason I am here.
I talked to him Friday 3-25-05 and he gave me his email 'jumpercable.es' but I cannot send him anything! I call him back and I reach his wife who does not like me AT ALL. He is only a friend and does want to hear from me.
Can anyone help? smile laugh

iMuchas gracias!
I called him back yesterday and he was pronouncing it as "supper" which sounded like "jumper" to me. He spelled it for me and yes, it is 'super'cable.
Thanks so much!

Take it easy. There's no special rules (sometimes I think there's no rules at all). Ask your hostess.
