Case #2 where my students may mistake me as a alcoholic.

There are 4 receptacles built into the sidewalk by our piso.
1. Envases-plastics
2. Vidrio-glass
3. Carton/Papel-Cardboard/paper

... Other than that, Angeles had a storeroom full of drugs that when I got sick once with a cold…she just gave me cough medicine. In Spain, as in most of Europe, you have to go the pharmacy to get ANYTHING medically related.
