If you've been watching the news you'll have heard that Zapatero won the national elections on Sunday.  He's certainly got a tough job on his hands now as he battles with a declining economy which for years has relied on the construction boom.  This will be an interesting time for Spain.

As mentioned last week all those that gave us feedback on our new area guides project were entered into a competition to win an Eye on Spain baseball cap and t-shirt.  The winner is....Gerry Sherry.  Please get in touch and we will arrange to get these sent to you.  Well done and thanks to everyone for their contributions.

And finally, before we move on to our articles for this week, I want to introduce you to Lisa.  Lisa is going to be blogging for us on a regular basis about her life as a "property manager".  She has some great stories to tell so we're really excited about having Lisa on board.  I hope you'll welcome her to the site.

Say "hola" to Lisa

And finally (again) remember to visit Diego's blog.  He's been talking about his passion for Formula 1, the Spanish elections, and the national day for Spanish working women.

Now, let's move on with today's articles:
