  1. Yay! Another gold! Sara Carreira is thanking you all, wherever might she be right now (if you believe in that kind of things) :-)
  2. Yay! Got super happy with the 11 to Italy but even more with the 12!! Gracias Mexico!
  3. Ah almost managed to be here at time of voting, too bad. anyways, Italian song is incredible, stuck in my mind ever since and gets the 12 by huge difference of all the others, really like that song! others were also good, but except from Czech and Ukrainian ones no other was specially with my likes, so the points could easily went to many other songs. Still, good contest so far!
  4. this obviously might be different for different people but to me if you got one point from anyone it means someone liked the song you shared. And what are the odds that someone would find that song if not by this contest? Then it’s already worth to share something in your own language! :-)
  5. I have an event in the south from 11 to 13 so will miss my voting time :-( but will try to follow the contest during the day! Enjoy Spain everyone 😃
  6. Also, regarding the Jews expulsion: by that time the Portuguese kings did whatever the Spanish kings did so they ended up expelling the Jews as well. you where many of them went to? The Netherlands! That’s one of the reasons that if you go to Amsterdam you’ll see a huge synagogue called “Portuguese synagogue”
  7. Galician Portuguese is the parent of the twin sister languages, Galician and Portuguese. the difference is that Portuguese managed to evolve in its own (due to be independent) while Galician not that much due to be stuck in Spain and therefore to Castilian language :-)
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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!!
  12. 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
  13. 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)
  14. 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)
  15. ”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!
  16. 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?
  17. 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)
  18. Well if you do decide to go ping me for suggestions, just be prepared to ruin any healthy diet of yours haha
  19. 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
  20. 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!
