That’s why you can only get a small % rebate, also capped, for donations in Spain. We are lucky Amancio Ortega donates considerable amount of money for grants and to very particular projects (most linked to Oncology devices for the public health system) Likely some interest still behind, but he’s not getting considerable tax evasion on those 100-200 million euros donated yearly.

Well, funny to say you were right: Dr Barbacid asked for 30M€ to carry on investigation and testing in humans, and Government said no.

I remember, as a kid, we used to record the New Years special… and that “incident” was watched endlessly

We did this once at work. It became worrying after my colleague spent over 5 minutes insistently clicking on the icons. Not sure what was happening in his head, so we had to abort and solve it. That guy was not ok.

I saw that in Switzerland a couple years ago and as an Spaniard I immediately thought “this would never, ever, work in Spain”

It’s likely because of the avocado toast: my father with a master degree rose 5 kids to university. Stay at home mother, a nice house, vacation apartment,… my self with a master degree and my wife as an oncology, we barely make it to the end of the month raising 2 kids. And there’s not such a thing as “student debt” in Spain. So it has to be the avocado toast.

Tiny children? You won’t get your little children into any restroom in Barcelona if not a customer. On the other hand, most restrooms in downtown Barcelona are a dirty pigpen you may don’t want your children to be in contact with.

Although I liked it, this might be beyond what I can share with colleagues at work before they get worried about me.

#47 Somehow Morocco is currently producing more tomatoes than Spain and is not even listed.

Thanks for visiting my homeland: hope you had a great time (and food!) around.

The greener the view, the further you are from BCN and surroundings ;-) Picos de Europa is in Asturias and Cantabria. BCN is a tourist trap.

No way! LOL. That has to be Cantabria / Asturias / Galicia. Barcelona is currently just a tourist trap (I’m Asturian living in Barcelona)

I used to have them until the dealer Service did not return me the key after a tire rotation.

My 3 y/o daughter has been attending a speech specialist for one year now: pretty common due to face masks and staying at home for Covid.

I’ve seen gas 95, 98 and “premium” Diesel capped to 1,999€ in Barcelona just because the price led sign did not alow a price starting by 2

But… we are purchasing (expensive) hybrid cars (and already got rid of straws). Isn’t this already saving the world??

My vacuum cleaner broke a piece. Looking for a new one, it happens Rowenta warranties spares for 10 years and I could buy just the piece.

That was 7 years ago. I had the option of “private preservation” for the future through a company in Ottawa, but not donating.

As an Spaniard, when my daughter was born in Toronto I was deeply surprised that umbilical cord donation was not a thing over there.
