Toledo

Toledo is a beautiful city full of history.  It was the capital of Spain and it is known as the city of the three cultures.  It has a rich past.

Today, January 10th, Antena 3 starts a new serie, TOLEDO.  It is in Spanish. It is fiction but is supposed to cover a lot of cultural facts about life during those times.

You might be interested in taking a look.

History ... La Republica

One of the best ways to know a people is trhough its history. I find myself looking for novels that can be also entertaining. I love movies and series as well.

TVE will have a special novel style series called La Republica. It is supposed to be a love story during those history episodes. It says it will cover that moment in history very well.

It looks really entertaining and good in quality. It is a sequel to La Señora that was very good as well, a period before. You can still watch it on this same link. What they call TVE a la Carta.

So, I am not totally recommending this as a learning tool but it can become one, as we saw in Cuentame como Pasó. We will have to wait and see. Please post your comments. It can be part of your listening and comprehension activity, even if it is not as informative on the historical and cultural side.

It starts this Friday as ¨preestreno¨. The normal episodes will be each Monday at 22 hrs. Follow the link for more information:
