Am I the biggest fan of Spanish football not from España? I would like to think so. At the Estadio Metropolitano for the final de la Nations Cup, my 7th stadium in 🇪🇸, but 1st time seeing la selección femenina play. Coming soon, Gata Sports Tours to show sports fans around 🇪🇸. If you use Instagram, it’s @ gatasports_tours - stories only for time being. #españa #futbol #nationscup #gatasportstours
This column a few days ago in The NY Times by Paco Cerdà on Spain’s need to bury the ghost of Franco is excellent. Unlike in Italy or Germany, when fascism ended, Spain largely acted as if the horrors of the dictator never happened. It may have helped ease early transition to democracy, but I think the bill is coming due, with many in younger generations talking of Franco as a good leader 😵‍💫 Also, Cerdà’s books are phenomenal. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/opinion/franco-spain-dictator-anniversary-death.htm #spain #españa #democracy #fascism
I’m going to Madrid for Gata Sports Tours for the Nations Cup final of Spain (women) vs Germany. Train prices are so high lately, often not below €80 one-way the cheapest if trip is within a couple weeks. So I am flying on way there. Anyway, at BCN, for 1st time I’ve seen, they are asking to see your boarding pass to even enter airport. Wonder if there’s been some security threat? They’re not checking that closely, though, as I realized I showed my Iberia loyalty card instead of boarding pass 😂

Continuing visiting stadiums for matches and gathering content and insights for Gata Sports Tours. Girona-Real Madrid last night. Ticket was less than half the price of a game in Madrid for far better seats. Girona with an upset 1-1 tie. #laliga #football #futbol #soccer #girona #realmadrid
Russia is after Ukraine now, but Europe next. By Lluís Bassets in El País. Putin is testing the strength of NATO commitments and trying to weaken solidarity with Ukraine. His biggest strength is having conquered Trump, who he now controls via remote from Moscow. #europe #otan #putin #trump
