This is one of my longest and most self-indulgent episode so far, but I do hope you find it entertaining and informative. Join me as I go down memory lane and talk about how I learned Spanish back in the mid-1990s and, consequently, fell in love with Spain, found out about rock in Spanish and became obsessed with Pedro Almodóvar and Javier Bardem.

Here are some links if you would like to learn more about Spanish-related things I enjoy:

Héroes del Silencio, my favorite Spanish rock band

Vetusta Morla, my new-found favorite Spanish rock band

Rock and español, my Spotify playlist

Pedro Almodóvar, my favorite movie director
