Comment on Getting the Apostille of The Hague for Spanish documents… by JW

Hi everyone,

I am going through the process of getting my Spanish visa as well. Question – I’ve lived in the UK for the last four years but planning on doing the visa process in NYC (long story) should I get the criminal check from New York state OR from the UK? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am also going to call the Consulate in NYC so hopefully they can help as well.

A 2nd question, how long did it take for the visa to be processed?

Thanks everyone
Janet

Comment on “La Sombra del Viento” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón by Dan at Spain Travel Deals Blog

I will definitely have a look at this book. I’ve lived in Europe on an off, and have been lucky enough to have friends introduce me to some of the better literature. You can miss a lot of good reads when you’re outside of Europe if you don’t actively look for foreign literature. This book will be of particular interest since it is set in Barcelona. I love the atmosphere and the architecture there. It has become a favorite holiday spot, and a place I visit as often as I can.

Thanks for the book recommendation.

But in salamanca i´ve never seen a street vendor maybe i should visit burgos one day…

Comment on Spaghetti sauce from a cardboard box by Chris

@Blanca – I’ve never seen Orlando sauce in the USA; but, you could probably find something similar… have you tried Heinz tomato sauce? I “think” they have a similar product??? (Somebody correct me if I’m wrong)
