I was wondering, since I have seen the Prince and Princess opening all of the Cervantes Institutes, could someone give me, an American, an idea of what they are exactly? This would be much appreciated. I also would like to know if there are any in the USA?
Thanks,
Linda 85

The Cervantes Institutes are like language schools, where people learn spanish, and get to do exams that are officially recognised in Spain, the so-called DELE exams. There are many Institutes all over the world. As far as I have found, there's two in the USA, in Chicago and New York. But I could be wrong.

Here you Are some information about the Cervantes Institute, But in the web you will see all the that you need.

http://www.cervantes.es/docs/guias/GuiaICIngles.pdf

400 million people, in more than 20 countries, speak Spanish,
a language which is the world’s fourth most commonly
spoken and the second language of international communication.
It is also the language in which many of the great
creators of modern culture express themselves. Thus, millions
of people study it throughout the world, because it is
a practical language, increasingly useful in professional
life, but also because it is a great language of culture and a
language for dialog. The Instituto Cervantes, created by
Spain in 1991, is the world’s largest institution dedicated
to the teaching of Spanish and to the promotion of knowledge
of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. Spain
is also a multilingual country and the Instituto promotes
this linguistic wealth. This Guide contains information on
the services available: Spanish, Catalan, Basque and Galician
courses, attendance or on the Internet, official qualifications,
teacher training, cultural programs, libraries and
documentation centers, radio and television broadcasts,
data bases and much more. We hope you will find it useful.

Thank you for sharing those pictures. I agree Princess Letizia looks great in blue. By the way I just was watching a tv show this morning about how the Princess's skirt blew away and had a very embarrasing moment.

I love the princess's new summer outfits!!! The colours are bright and cheerful and through it all she still maintain the simple cut and style.

 

[adelaide]

I read, but I forgot where that the Felipe is a man who don't sleep very much and that it's his great strengh ( obviously in the life, it's ) I think that Letizia too, because as we can observe their activities of th last month we can wondering when they are taken the time to rest a little.
As we know that they are preparing a lot their visit in the neibouroughs of Madrid for instance and that they have also office'works, I am asking myself how they do to have a little time for them...

From today's journalism awards, by 20 minutos:



http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/127984/0/principes/afinsa/forum/

Nearly 500 people affected by the philatelic Afinsa and Fórum Filatélico scandal were congregated today in front of the Royal Post Office, located at the Madrilenian Porta del Sol, to demand from the Government solutions that allow them to recover their savings.

When the Princes de Asturias arrived at the building to preside over the prize-giving ceremony of the Press Association of Madrid, a tumult took place and many whistles and shouts were listened against the couple. Some people were carrying a photo of Infanta Cristina where she appeared along with members of Fórum Filatélico and Afinsa.

The Princes entered the building to preside over the Prizes, which will also be attended by the autonomic president, Esperanza Aguirre.

 

[adelaide]

What a good informant you are, dear Lula so for the History, news than the pics. Those spanish threads are particulary interesting, especially for all that are linked with the Kings and the Princes.Many, many thanks for you work and for the level what you are giving to the discussions. I'm very glad to read you.

Dear Lula, I know that it's not directly linked with the Royalty, but is that it's possible to explain in two words the stamps's scandal because I can't, and I think I'm not alone, appreciate the people 's reaction again the gouvernement and by the way again the Princes. Many thanks for your short answer.

Poor Princes, they do not have fault of anything, and always they all take advantage of their visits to protest for something. It is a lack of respect to spoil the acts of others, today it had the winning some that do not have because to support this.
They have defrauded them, so that protest before the culprits ... not before the Princes who do not have any relation with this topic.

It is clear, when the Princes come to an act there are many mass media, and the people are useful for their protests.
I only hope that tomorrow to anybody of by using the act of the little Leonor.

Really? And I have read that he just loves sleeping (of course, with such work and way of life he doesn't have the chance to sleep too much)! He had even some problems in army since he was always late in the morning
