It s a beautifully illustrated storybook of a film.

Travelling Exhibition

 There is a remarkable exhibition of ink paintings by Francisco Goya in La Universidad Popular de San Sebastián De Los Reyes depicting terrible scenes from the early 19th century.

We have etchings from the Disasters of War and his  acidic criticism of the foolishness of the society he lived in  from Los Caprichos.

The focus of this exhibition which ends on April 23rd is on women, in many cases the terrible suffering of women.

The Art Of Telling Stories

 The seanchaí or story teller was always a very welcome guest in Ireland and families would sit around and listen enthralled to his stories.They were the custodians of ancient lore and tales of wisdom.

Whether it is a gift or a technique, there is  no  doubt that story telling is pure entertainment and today we have the opportunity to enjoy stories in Spanish at the local library.
