Eye on Spain Newsletter 16 October 2007

Buenos dias

I hope you had a chance to listen to Mark Wilkins's interview that I told you about last week. If you haven't yet then try to find some time to listen to it as there's some invaluable information in there:

Anyway, as I was putting the newsletter together this week I realised that it's not the jolliest of newsletters! However, some of the advice and information is well worth knowing. Then, if you want to chill out a little we've got a funny video from our friends at Sol Channel.

Enough time wasting, enjoy this week's articles and video.
