I am excited to be posting the very first entry for my new blog, "For The Love Of Spain." The purpose of this blog is to appreciate everything Spanish—the language, history, people, traditions, folklore, business, music, events, and cuisine.
Though I would not consider myself Spanish, but rather Hispanic, I was raised at a young age to appreciate my roots. I can vividly remember my “abuelita” telling me stories about the first Largaespada1 that settled in Nicaragua. Since then, I have had a strong desire to learn more about Spain. Fast forward two decades and I now have two degrees, countless experiences of studying abroad, and many years of teaching the language under my belt.
Whether you are planning a trip, browsing to stimulate your mind (and senses), or reminiscing on a past Spanish memory, I hope you enjoy this blog. Feel free to search by topic or simply plunge into all the goodness this blog has to offer about a country so rich and diverse. I appreciate comments, questions, feedback, experiences, and anecdotes.
