THE HIDDEN SPAIN - FERNANDO CID LUCAS - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND



Sligo Spanish Society are pleased to present The Hidden Spain – La España menos conocida – in the Yeats Building, Sligo, next Friday the 22nd at 8pm, a talk by academic from Extramadura, Fernando Cid Lucas. The talk will be in English and Spanish.

Fernando will take us on a journey away from the big cities of Spain and the Costa del Sol, and through the lesser known – but still fascinating – locations in this varied country.

It is the perfect opportunity for those who wish to get off the beaten track and see places that most tourists never experience – a chance to discover the Hidden Spain.

Tickets are €7 or €5 concession, which includes tapas and a glass of wine or other refreshments.

Nos complace mucho presentar a Fernando Cid Lucas, que nos va a hablar de La España menos Conocida, en el Edificio Yeats, este viernes el 22 de febrero, a las 8 de la tarde.

Fernando – un profesor de Extramadura – nos va a llevar en un viaje de descubrimiento de los lugares menos conocidos de su país.

Evitando las grandes ciudades y las costas, vamos a aprender sobre los sitios que la mayoría de los turistas desconocen, pero que valen tanto como los lugares turísticos tradicionales.

Las entradas son €7 (€5 para estudiantes o parados), que, como siempre, incluyen tapas y vino.

      Hello. We don´t have members, as such, so there is no need to join. If you want to attend an event, they are all open to the public, and we charge at the door, so just show up to the Yeats Building on Friday at 8pm if you want to come.

AZULOSCUROCASINEGRO. FILM, FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH.

Image
Jorge trabaja de portero en su edificio, y cuida de su padre enfermo, pero tiene ilusiones más grandes. Cuando su hermano, Antonio, sale de la cárcel, le pide a Jorge algo que le va a cambiar la vida para siempre. Historias triangulares y dilemas de hoy se entremezclan en lo que parece ser el destino     de Jorge, un chico que luchará por lo que quiere, y no por lo que debe. Azuloscurocasinegro es una película divertida, atrevida, conmovedora, que nos muestra la importancia de la amistad, y todas las complicaciones que pueden causar la familia y el amor. Jorge works as a caretaker in his building, and looks after his sick father, but he has greater ambitions. When his brother, Antonio, gets out of prison, he asks Jorge to do something for him that will change Jorge's life forever. Azuloscurocasinegro (Dark blue almost black) is fun, daring and moving. It reveals the importance of friendship, and all of the mes...

Image
Today, as well as being Ash Wednesday - Miércoles de Ceniza - in Spain we celebrate The burial of the Sardine - El entierro de la Sardina. But, what is this exactly, and why do we celebrate it on a day like today? Well, it is important to mention that, for the last five days, Spanish people have been celebrating the festivity of Carnival. People dress up, dance, and take part in parades and fancy dress contests. El entierro de la Sardina  marks the end of the festival and introduces Cuaresma or Lent.  Carnival in the Canary islands. Credit: Radio televisión Canaria The burial of the Sardine consists in a parade where participants pretend to be sad and cry. They accompany a giant sardine generally made of cardboard and walk it around the area. At the end of the parade, the sardine is burnt. In some places, attendees can enjoy some fish that is cooked in the fire and there are bands playing some music.                       ...
