user experience

Barcelona - user Rutger Hoorn - 26/07/2007
Living in Barcelona now for 5 months and had a lot of problems making conversations with the Catalans here.
I went to Camp Nou on a Saturday night when FC Barcelona was playing one of their last games of the season.
I sat next to a typical Catalan fan that was furiously supporting his team. At a certain point I asked to listen to my phone where I selected the Van Gaal Phrase of which he is famous.
My Catalan neighbor had to laugh like crazy when he heard it. I had a new friend…. He joined me for a few beers
After the game where we kept on laughing about all the great sentences and features in the software. I love it!!!

Virgen de la Paloma Fiesta

The fiesta of the Virgen de la Paloma at the Plaza de las Vistillas in Old Madrid has been celebrated since the 18th century, and is one of the city's largest and best-known festivals.

The streets are decorated with coloured lamps and there are concerts, processions and street parades. The Madrileños dress up for the occasion in traditional Chulapo costumes, while the women wear Mantón de Manila shawls as they dance the chotis face-to-face in the open-air.

The fiesta culminates on the 15 August with the procession of a picture of the Virgin of Doves through the streets, carried by the firemen of the city council.
