  1. Fiorentina has to be the ultimate favorite here, but then again so was Lazio and they’re out now, so I wonder if can there be a surprise
  2. Curious on what can sporting do against Juventus. this is not our typical Juventus but then again Sporting can be very inconsistent going from super team to weakest link in just one week.
  3. I was a big fan of cadena dial (don’t judge me haha, but they were the ones that always were passing Spanish music and this was in a pre-youtube era and at that time it was the only way to listen to Spanish songs when traveling through Spain ) so that sentence is really stuck in my brain forever xD
  4. Those three… so many good memories of catalunya! But also pa i tomaquet was very popular I remember. And the parents of one of my friends used to make fideua but with meat instead of seafood…. delicious!!
  5. I imagine is even more weird to Galicia no? They are literally in the same latitude as Portugal and yet one hour ahead of us
  6. Benfica is super strong this year, I think they will be able to reach the final, especially if on the semi final they play the second leg at home as well. The atmosphere in their stadium it’s like hell to the adversaries (and I’m not even a Benfica fan)
  7. I think this was a big hit at that time, but probably is something for kids who grew up in the 90s (in spain, no one knows about fruittis in Portugal haha)
  8. ”Gazpacho, Gazpacho, es un genio de gran valor. Gazpacho, Gazpacho, de los Fruittis es el mejor.” Do you know this? Or maybe I’m too old haha, I grew up with those cartoons (by that time I had family living in madrid and spent lots of time there) so everytime I see Gazpacho i think of this song!
  9. Indeed. The father is probably one of the most famous singers in the country, and he was with so much grief he just initially gave up on everything of life, but in the end got helped by the rest of the family and decided to join the song as well. I do wonder, is this the first time someone that is not alive anymore takes part on the annual contest?
  10. It’s even “worse”, it’s her two brothers AND her father (Context: they’re singing “with” her because she died in an car accident some years ago and left this unfinished song/videoclip)
  11. Well if you do decide to go ping me for suggestions, just be prepared to ruin any healthy diet of yours haha
  12. La manga is awesome, I have so many good memories from that place from when I was teenager! also, fun fact, do you know we have our Tocino del cielo, called… Toucinho do céu? It has different versions but is traditional from most of regions of Portugal
  13. Man this stuff is incredibly useful, in June I’m gonna go on a vuelta around all regions so this sights and food hints are like gold to me! great work!
  14. Mimicat - Aí Coração The final was yesterday, from the reactions I see it was quite a happy choice. Im happy that it’s not a sad song like most of the times haha
  15. To me it always seemed kind of as if Portugal were the Spanish little brother haha and I never forget the Spanish newspaper cover when Portugal won the Euro ❤️ (of course it was also due to Ronaldo and the newspaper is a madrid one, but still) btw, that first sentence on the top of the cover has a totally different meaning in Portuguese 😅 (don’t look it up on Google during your work time! Haha)
  16. This doesn’t apply to me though, spent too much time in Spain to have such feeling and I’ve always loved the country and the language (even after some years of independentism brainwash in Catalunya hehe)
  17. By the way, fun fact, which is only a fact based on the Spanish people I’ve met so far (so our host might confirm or deny it ), but the rivalry between Portugal and Spain is much more from Portuguese to Spanish than the other way around (at least is the feeling I have, there’s a lot of “hate” from Portuguese agains Spain and I don’t see the same from Spanish to Portugal )
  18. I can live with that, Murcia (the region) has nice beach areas, at least I have good memories from that many years ago hehe (in La Manga) 😃
  19. Ok so I share this song with you because its my favorite song of 2022 and i liked it so much that would be a crime not to do it! Maan & Goldband - Stiekem
  20. Can I share a song from a participating country in the festival of music? It's a really nice dutch song from last year hitting the top of the charts there for a lot of weeks!
  21. Nice! I have family from Granollers (in Catalunya) and spent basically all summers from my childhood and teen years there (thus my preference for that region :-) ), I have so many good memories from the city festivals! (Festa major)
  22. I guess I missed those, need to check out, specially the Galician, it’s one of my favorite regions (next to catalunya and extremadura) and I love their language, people when speaking Galician always sound super nice :-) from which region are you btw?
  23. This is cool! Are you gonna do this for each region? im passing only through euskadi and castilla y leon this time but in June I’m thinking of doing a “vuelta” via all 15 Spanish regions so those traditional songs would give a nice soundtrack for the trip :-)
  24. I will answer this after my voting is announced on the day of the final hehe only thing I can say is that I have my 12 song stuck in my mind for days 😃
