YOUR 5 BEST BETS FOR A PERFECT SPANISH PAELLA
Don’t forget that paella is a rice dish whatever delightful ingredients you mix it with. Therefore, rice takes center stage. Having said that, think Bomba or Sollana rice, virgin olive oil, enamelled pan, firewood or gas stove, feeding straight from the pan. Now you're ready to get ready for the party!

TITANIC ALLIANCE GANGS UP ON BILLIONAIRE BEZOS
The accord between El Corte Inglés, benchmark of Spanish commerce, and Alibaba, the digital giant from China, is welcomed by both partners with such a great enthusiasm one would think it was marriage made in heaven. El Corte Inglés press releases are rosy and replete with optimism. The partners present the accord as the answer to Jeff Bezos’ dominant position in global e-commerce.
THE PLIGHT OF WEED CLUBS WITHIN THE GREY AREA OF SPANISH LAW
Although it is illegal to possess or sell marijuana in a public area, club owners can obtain licenses to operate private associations to smoke and sell weed. But operating within this space creates a multitude of problems for club owners looking to advance their business. Be that as it may, private weed clubs in Madrid are on the rise. Per some estimates, Madrid will surpass Barcelona, where there are currently over 300 private clubs, as the weed capital of Spain by 2020.
THE RAINBOW OF U.N. SUSTAINABLE GOALS LENDS COLOR TO SPANISH SOCIAL MEDIA FOR “THE FUTURE WE WANT”

A Second Opinion: Oh, those wonderful Rebajas de Enero!
I have been accused of being a miser, but I prefer to consider myself "thrifty"! I figure why pay more when you can pay less? With my attitude, I'd never make it in the fashion scene in New York or London or Paris. Maybe Madrid is more forgiving!
MOST POPULAR SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES WORLDWIDE: YOU’VE GOT TO KNOW!
Over 2 billion active Facebook users worldwide. Instagram, the fastest rising social media, has 1 billion. Odnoklassniki (ever heard of it?) has 71,000,000. It's the 15th top social networking site. Facebook is tops in Spain as in most countries throughout the world.
WHO WOULD KIDS RATHER HAVE, SANTA OR THE MAGI?
Chances are that Spanish children would have both The Magi and Santa! Think about it, two bountiful bearers of gifts instead of just one, from the East and from the West, and the Royals coming right on the jovial heels of Ho Ho Ho!
SPANIARDS ARE SPENDING MORE ON TOURISM. GOOD NEWS, SAYS STATE SECRETARY OF TOURISM

RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH A BRIGHT SPOT IN THE SPANISH ECONOMY
All sectors in the Spanish economy enjoyed export growth from January to October 2018, latest period for which records are available. The main positive contributions to export growth came from the capital goods sector, energy products, chemical products and non-chemical semi-manufactures. The flip side: Imports grew in all sectors too.
THE REAL MADRID
Any and everything about the fascinating capital city of Spain — and the Autonomous Community of Madrid — from its rich history through its vibrant present to what the future holds, recounted from every angle imaginable.
This category, however, goes beyond Madrid; it embraces stories of what occurred, are occurring, and will probably occur in the Spanish nation whose capital is Madrid.
THE MADRID BILLBOARD, WHAT’S ONSTAGE RIGHT NOW!
Madrid is one of the most important theater capitals of Europe. Here are some of the best musicals onstage right now: El Rey Leon (The Lion King), Anastasia, El Medico, El Jovencito Frankenstein, Punto de Partida-Por ti Rocío, West Side Story, Billy Eliott . . .

THE GRAN VIA AND THE MADRID CENTRAL, ¡QUE GUAY!
The remake of the hundred year old Gran Via is part of the city’s broader plan, the Madrid Central, the Central Area of Low Emissions which, ultimately, will phase out pollutant traffic from the central district of the city where 72% of movements are owing to internal combustion cars. Imagine a place without them. Paradise recouped
HOW TO TASTE, SERVE AND CONSERVE WINE AT HOME THIS CHRISTMAS
More than 76% of wine in Spain is drunk at home. And only 23.7% is consumed in the HORECA (hotel, restaurant, café) sector. In view of this, and the fact that we're now in the Jolly Holiday Season (aka The Wine Season), you might want to attend the wine-at-home demonstration at La Moraleja!
