The Spanish frigate Méndez Núñez

Everybody who visits London this weekend have the opportunity to walk on Spanish ground without leaving the country. How is that possible?

The Spanish Navy frigate Méndez Núñez is mooring on the West India Dock. The ship dropped anchor the past Friday and it will be in London until tomorrow. The ship is open to the public on Sunday (10:30-12:30 and 16:30-19:30) and Monday (10:30-12:30). The crew is organising a very interesting tour in which you can know everything you want about this ship and the Navy. 

The Méndez Núñez has returned from Scotland, where the ship participated in a NATO joint training exercise. The Joint Warrior was the largest military exercise in Europe with numerous warships, aircraft, marines and troops involved. In total, around 13,000 personnel participated in the practice.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, the musical

London has the flavours, sounds and laughs of Spanish because Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (known as Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios), the musical, finally started. From the 12th of January until the 9th of May, the Playhouse Theatre is going to be the capital of Spain. 

This fantastic film, directed and written by Pedro Almodóvar in 1988, won five Goya Awards, including the best film. But this crazy story was appreciated not only in Spain, because it also won awards and nominations all around the globe and it put the Spanish director on the international map.

This masterpiece occurs in the 80's. In that moment, Madrid was a city full of colours, music, fun, freedom and "mad people" like all these women.
