Word on the street is there will be a "general strike" in all of Spain on 29 September. Great. Wonder how far-reaching that'll be and who all will participate.
Saludos, MadridMan

Ruh-Roh, Raggy! More air-travel problems for Spain soon. According to The Telegraph (thanks, Sally!): Airport walkouts threaten holiday chaos for millions Millions of airline passengers face months of disruption after Spanish airport workers announced plans for a series of strikes.
The walkouts, starting in the run-up to Easter, would ground hundreds of flights and wreck the holiday plans of families hoping to grab some spring sunshine.
22 days of strikes are planned, starting on April 20 and continuing through May and June until the end of July.
They could coincide with further industrial action by British Airways cabin crew, who are being balloted on strike action by the Unite trade union.
The Spanish dispute involves 12,500 ground staff employed by Aena, the state-controlled airports authority, which has been earmarked for privatisation.
It threatens to shut down nearly every airport in the country, including those in the Canary Islands, a particularly popular destination at Easter.
