These essays were originally published over an eighteen-month period from Spring 2007 in “El Indálico”, the free Spanish language sister of “The New Entertainer”, in which the “Capital Letters” column had already been appearing for several years.
Sprinkled with lighthearted linguistic insights, “Capital Letters” compared and contrasted life in Spain with the UK, occasionally touching on stories in the news and current affairs, both British and Spanish. The columns in the Indálico explored the same topics, revealing an ex-pat’s view of life in Spain to a Spanish readership.
Since the original columns were published, there have been many cultural and lifestyle changes, politicians have been ousted, and policies have been reviewed. The essays do not claim to reflect the current situation, but, written with perception, sympathy and wry humour, they retain their appeal.
