I guess the message about sneezing into a Kleenex or your sleeve is not beat into the locals like it is for us.

My room has a tv and I´ve been trying to practice my spanish by watching spanish tv and films in spanish (you can borrow them from the school).

... Baeleric sunshine. It was pretty much perfect. Our hotel (and my bed there) was amazing!<br><br>The next morning we went to La Jonquera and visited a museum dedicated to the exiles of the Spanish Civil War. It was very interesting, but everything was only in Catalan, which made for a limited educational experience. Then we got back on the bus, and before I knew it there were signs flashing by that said France!! (minus the exclamation marks) They didn't ...

... to completion. Amazing place. Full concrete factory inside the church and spending around 1 million euro per month on construction (but bringing in 50M Euro pa from tourists)<br><br>Sitting on the balcony now having caviar, beer and cheese with my sister and wife....does not get much better than this for our annivesary!!!

Some similarity to Spanish but different enough that I only catch a few words. In some places, I have found that on a buildings, they will have both Spanish and Catalan.
