Y Viva España

Thursday, February 16th, 2006 02:53 pm
So this year tomorrow we're off to sunny Spain.

Can anyone recommend fiction set in Barcelona? Or good Spanish fiction?

Can any of you remember which Patrick O'Brian novel is partly set in Gibraltar?
1. Turned on the radio tonight and was swept away by Osvaldo Golijov's opera based on the life and work of Federico García Lorca, Ainadamar. Not to everyone's taste, I shouldn't think: very Latin-American, very modern, very varied. Want.
Damn, 'La Pasión según San Marcos' on at the Barbican Feb 24. Next Friday. Hmmm.

If anyone could somehow record the 'listen again' for me, I'd be ever so grateful.

2. Brilliant sunshine lighting silver birches against a jet-black wall of cloud

3. This time tomorrow, BA permitting, I'll be in Barcelona.
