Frida is a movie that, in one sentence, could be described as sensual, imbued with Mexican folklore and the bohemian climate of the 1920s. The movie itself is a portrait of a fascinating painter, feminist and provocateur - the great Frida Kahlo. The plot isn't only about her career, but also a complicated relationship with her husband, also a painter, the famous Diego Rivera.

Wine from Spain

Wine from Spain Have you ever noticed the name and the origin of the wine you drink? Did you know, that Spain is famous for wine production? Spain is the second oldest wine producing country in the Mediterranean area. Spain produces modern wines, such as fruit or grape, both of very high quality. The Spanish wines have a potential of aging and a combination of character and diversity that allows them to conquer the world market.  The most famous wine is, without a doubt, Rioja . This red and dry wine can come as young wine with fruit flavor (Tinto Joven) or as exquisite wine (Gran Reserva). The next liquor, enjoying high popularity is a fortified wine from Andalusia, known to the world as "Sherry" - this fine can be found as a dry one or as sweet one. The last one is Cava , a sparkling wine, that's made using traditional methods.    If you haven't ever tried a Spanish wine, I highly recommend that you do!

Spain is slowly turning into a desert, and temperatures are constantly rising Today I will write about the latest news about the drought problem in Spain. The Spaniards have been struggling with the drought problem for years. Unstable weather and ever thinner soil layer make life more difficult for farmers, and it will only get worse.

According to a special report announced in December 2018 by the European Court of Auditors, three quarters of Spain wi...

Contratiempo, movie

A brilliant thriller that I would recommend to anyone who likes movies in such a climate. What deserves special attention, aside from fictional swirls, is the disturbing atmosphere of the thriller. Copious amounts of plot twists can confuse the viewer in a matter of minutes. Once the viewer thinks he is following the plot, a sudden detail shows up and destroys all of his assumptions. While watching the movie "Contratiempo", one must be vigilant, as it is easy to miss an important detail that may affect later understanding of the motivations of individual heroes. Young businessman Adrián (Mario Casas) wakes up in a hotel room next to his dead lover. Afterwards he decides to hire one of the best attorneys to tell her his course of events, in which, he claims that the murder was commited by a different man. Adrián's retrospections are the backbone of the whole story. The hero stubbornly tries to deduce an alternative version of the events. The woman interviewing...
