Hmm! Well, this is almost there, huh? Yes, how it smells. Hey, what if we add something else to the sauce? How about some almonds? Oh, great. Do you have almonds? Yes, I always have almonds. Always? Yes, we pick them from the trees and I always have some. Oh.
We can chop them a little and add them… we make a sauce. Do you have almond trees in your house? Yes, well, not many, but enough to eat loose almonds from time to time, or roasted, or make sauces. Hmm. Great, right? I love almond sauces.
It’s sure to be very delicious for us. Sure. Hey, and what is typical of Argentina? Of food? Puff, there are a lot of things, but one thing I love are alfajores. Do you know alfajores? No idea. No?! No. Ah, they are like… there is nothing like that in Spain.
They are like two sweet cookies and have a very sweet filling, often made with dulce de leche. Do you know dulce de leche? Yes, that is. Yes, it’s very sweet, and sometimes it’s like covered in chocolate or sugar or… What did you say they were called? Caramel cookies. Yes, they are delicious.
You have to try them. Yes, I will have to try them. And in Seville, what is typical to eat? Well, in summer it is very typical to eat gazpacho. Know? Since it’s very hot, it’s something I really want. And… well, it is taken long after… before eating to…
Ah, but it’s not food, then? Well, it’s a…, like… it’s a cold soup, okay? which is made with tomato, pepper, you add garlic depending on how you like it more or less, oil, salt and vinegar. It is easy to do?
Yes, it is very easy to prepare and, as I told you, it is something that is much more desirable in summer because… especially because it is very hot. Hmm. Hey, Pablo, what food do you miss the most in Galicia? Well… I think the octopus. The octopus?
Yeah, haven’t you ever tried it? Mmmm, to tell you the truth, no. I see him looking so strange… Well, you’re missing out. It’s… it’s really good. We eat it a lot there… well, in many ways, but the most normal is octopus a feira. Have you never tried it?
No. I’ve seen it in the bars, there, but, I don’t know, it seems strange to me. I don’t find it attractive. Well, it’s delicious. They add paprika and olive oil and, poof, the cooked octopus, and that’s it. And it’s very good.
But doesn’t it have a weird texture? It looks like it’s made of rubber. No no no. It’s… it’s… If it’s done well, it’s incredible. And you can also try it in other ways. It is also grilled, grilled , stewed, empanada… it is done in many ways and you will surely find
One that you like. If you say so… Do you know the one who says?: What is the name of this bird? I ignore it. Well, what a beautiful little ignorance. 2 And she went to the same class as my sister in Law. Oh yeah? Yes.
And I used to come home with her to study. OK. We saw each other almost every weekend, but then we barely spoke to each other, I was very shy. Already. Well, it still is. And I also. Let’s see… My phone number… yes… it is 456… 733. Place and date of birth… Madrid, 1981.
How did you first hear about our school? Well, I don’t remember, honestly. Do you prefer courses in the morning, afternoon or Saturday? Well, it depends on the day… in the morning better. Let us remember that Kant formulated three famous questions to answer his philosophical thought. The questions are: What can I know?
What can I do? What am I allowed to expect? If we focus on the first question… So, you put half a liter of milk for every 100 grams of rice, vanilla and a little butter. Okay, I already have it written down. You put everything on low heat,
About 45 minutes or so. Okay, no more? 45 minutes? That is. And then you have to turn it around so it doesn’t stick to you. Okay, I’m stirring it until… That’s it. So it does not stick. Little by little. And when
It is done, you have to let it cool. But don’t put it in the fridge, eh. OK. Out of the refrigerator until it cools slightly. That is. Very good. Could you tell me if there are buses to Segovia this afternoon?… Yes?… At four?… Now. And… later?… At nine.
Oh. And the nine o’clock one is direct or is it stopping?… Direct, very good. What time do you arrive in Segovia?… Quarter past ten. Well, thank you very much. Hey, the truth is that it’s very quiet here in the countryside, huh? But why did you move? Especially because… because of the work issue.
Because in the city,… neither of us were getting anything and we decided, I don’t know, to try to go outside and start a business ourselves, to see if things were better on our own, and here we are, two years have passed. .
Yes Yes. But, of course, there are towns and villages. And this town is pretty small, right? Little town, we would say, eh? Little town, little town. Yes, the truth is that it is very small, it is missing a few things to do everything you need.
You depend on a car. The day the car doesn’t work or one has to do one thing and the other another, you need two cars, and for everything you are glued to the car seat. Of course, and also, it is difficult,
It has to be more difficult to get things in a town than in a city… I mean, look, to give you an idea, the children’s school is ten kilometers from the town. Do you know what every day is like ten kilometers up, ten kilometers down? A bummer, come on.
So… Where would you prefer us to celebrate the wedding? I think the best is the Gran Hotel, in the center. Buff… No. But… No, no, no, a hotel has no charm at all. Not me, I prefer to do something outside, in a country house, with friends, stay there for the weekend…
I don’t know, something more informal, right? Yes, but it’s going to cost a lot for people to come, I’m sure. Well, don’t come. I mean… But I want people to come. The more people come, the better. Surely I know… But, for what?
Because it will be just another party… But it’s a little party, we’ve been together for a long time. We got married because look, but… I see it more like that, I don’t know, few people and having a good time… I think it’s once in a lifetime and it’s interesting that everyone is there:
Our friends, our family and …Look, the more people come, the more difficult it will be to organize everything, the more expensive it will be. I don’t know why you want to get into this trouble. I think that what you choose doesn’t matter if there are 12 or 300.
Well, look, I don’t agree. We already started arguing. Well, then you’re going with your mother. Good morning, Rodrigo. What news do you bring us today? Well look, today I bring you news about robots. Of robots? Go! Come on, tell us. Look, yesterday I was at the presentation
Of a robot called Qbo. They presented it at the University of Valencia, at the Robotics Institute. And it’s kind of a little robot for the home. For home? Yes, it’s kind of like a pet. A pet that washes your dishes… No, at the moment it doesn’t go that far.
It’s more like a cat, a dog… A pet, a companion animal. Ah, how curious! Hey, what is it like? Does it look like a human being? No, actually it’s more like a giant egg, about fifty centimeters high. Do you remember the short robot from Star Wars?
Ah yes yes! Well, it looks quite similar. Ah, how cute… Yes, the truth is that he is quite nice. It is small and chubby, it weighs about ten kilos, so it can be transported. And then in its head it has two cameras, which serve as eyes, and it also has a pair
Of speakers to communicate. Oh, so he can talk! And how does he speak? Just like a robot. And that makes it funnier, right? Yes, indeed. Hey, what can he do? Well, for now, simple things:
He knows how to recognize people and voices, he knows how to speak, he obeys orders, he moves around the house without crashing. AHA. Hey, what if we want to buy one, do we have to spend a lot of money?
Well, it depends on what you call “a lot of money.” In reality, you can buy it from four hundred and ninety-nine euros. Ah, well, it doesn’t seem like much to me for everything
He knows how to do, right? He knows how to recognize people and voices, he knows how to speak, obey orders, did you tell me? Yes. Moving around a house without crashing… It’s many things. Clear. If you look at it that way, it actually costs less than a laptop.
Well yes. Well, Rodrigo, thank you very much for that futuristic news. Thank you. All the best! Bye bye. Have you noticed that we have fewer and fewer books and fewer records at home? Well, yes, but there are also people who, who still want to have them, because having
A paper book always gives you… it gives you more than not only having it in the… in digital format. If I dont know. After the last move, I felt like throwing away all the books and having them all in electronic format. But they can also be used for
Decoration at home, for example. That too… Yes, man, I already have other things for decoration. I think that soon we will not have a single book or a single record at home. And what do you think it will be like? What will we have then?
Well… everything will be on, on the internet… it will be in the cloud… You will only have those few objects that seem super endearing to you or that have sentimental value, but… but having hundreds of books or hundreds of records,
I don’t know, is a loss of space. Could it be something for a collector, do you think? Of course, only those things that seem super special to you and that you want to keep because, well, because they have a special value, right? Well, I guess so, it’s possible.
And, Cristina, how was your cruise? Brilliant. Look, I didn’t like them, eh? But I’ve come to the conclusion that the best trips are organized and group trips. Yeah?! Yes, yes, you never get bored. Ugh… You meet a lot of people,
You don’t stop doing things… It’s great! Oh, but… it could be, maybe a cruise, yes, but in general, I think organized trips are horrible. All day you are doing what the guide tells you, you can’t do… you can’t improvise or do…
No, man, no, Bea, it’s not that big of a deal. Oh yes! I have been on one of those trips and the truth is that I have felt free to do whatever I wanted. Man, you have to catch the plane on time, be in the city
You are going to that day… but that’s it. I think it’s for lazy people. I don’t think it’s for lazy people, but it’s great for resting and sometimes you need it. I have rested a lot. Well, they seem like the worst to me.
I assure you that they are not as bad as you think. You should try one and speak from experience. Where did you do Primary? Well, in Granada. At a private, religious, all-girls school. Interesting. If very strong. And did you also do high school there? No no no no no.
No, because later my family moved to Madrid and there I studied at a public institute, Ramiro de Maeztu. What a change. Yes, it was a mixed and secular institute. In other words, the complete opposite of the Jesuits, which is where I studied in Granada. And did you go to university?
Yes, like Alfonso X, it is a private university. And there I studied Law. I did three years, but I didn’t finish my degree because I started working in a bank. Hmm. And well, now I would love to go back to study and finish Law, but… since I am working,
I will surely do it at UNED, which… is a public distance university, to be able to combine the two things. Very good. Do you have any memories from when you were very little? Yes, I have a very special one from my first bike. Hmm. I think I was 3 years old
And my dad taught me how to ride a bicycle and since I didn’t have wheels I remember that I leaned against the wall to hold myself up, so as not to fall. What I don’t remember very well is if
They gave it to me for my birthday or for Three Kings. And do you know if that is your first memory or how old you were? I don’t remember, I don’t know, I think 3 years. And do you… do you have a very special childhood memory?
Well yes, and it is related to food. I remember that when I was little, maybe I was… 5 or 6 years old, the whole family would go to eat at my grandparents’ house on the weekend, and I loved
The moment of seeing my grandmother appear with a bowl of French fries. huge and with fried eggs on top of that mountain of fries. And it was amazing, I was drooling with excitement… But was it a dish that she prepared just for you? No, I guess… Well, I don’t know. Don’t know.
Well, we all liked it, but I think my grandmother knew that I went crazy with that mountain of potatoes. And he always made a lot more, like four kilos of potatoes. It was exaggerated. Do you have any childhood memories that come to you quickly?
Well look, yes, the first one I have is from the day my mother, who was a teacher, took me to her school. Oh. Because… I don’t know… Yes, he took me… I think it was Carnival day.
And I, I don’t remember much because I was very small, I was 2, 3 years old, but I remember sitting at a table and around that desk a lot of 10, 11 year old children looking at me and… Much older than you. Yes of course. Everyone
Was super old and looking at me. But, I’m telling you, I think it’s the first memory, but I don’t know if it’s really a memory or if I later saw a photo in which I was surrounded by children and then… … you can imagine it.
I imagine it and it, it… Yes, for me it is like my first memory, because I was very little. Excellent! BIG CHANGES IN LIFE And… hey, Nuria, for a moment you say: “From then on my life changed completely”? Man, like that… “it changed my life”, I don’t know,
But there have been many, many very special moments in which I have learned a lot and… if I had to choose one of them, maybe I would say a trip I took to India. India? Yes, yes, to India.
I spent three months in India because they gave me a scholarship, the last year of my degree, and… and I went to teach Spanish at the University of New Delhi. Wow! And… and the truth is that I loved it,
I loved everything, from… India is such a different country, so… with animals on the streets… Yes! Well, that ‘s the first impression you have when you go out. And… and then I, I loved, I loved teaching there.
I had… The truth is that at that time I had little experience, but the conditions were ideal: I had wonderful students and I also had a lot of freedom to organize many things, from a performance of Don Juan Tenorio… Theater… …with the students, I did a casting , and then there, there perhaps,
Although I had already taught before, that was perhaps when I first considered that, that it was something that I really liked. And also travel.
And, in fact, from that moment on I started going from one country to another. I know that everyone has many pet peeves, but I would ask you to tell me one. A mania? Yes. A mania… Well… Look, I can’t stand people who, when
They talk on their cell phones in closed places, no longer in the street, because in the supermarket, for example, they shout a lot. Oh. I mean, it makes me very nervous about these people who, when they talk on their cell phones, have the need for
You to know what they’re talking about, like… I, I think that this obsession comes from when I was very little at home, When my grandfather spoke to his family in the village he shouted a lot, because maybe he thought that, since he was very far away, he had to shout.
Clear. And that made me very nervous. Hear grandpa screaming. And besides, the man didn’t understand it. You told him that he didn’t need to scream, but he screamed, and maybe it’s an inheritance, well,
That, from childhood, and I don’t know, I can’t stand it when people scream when they talk on their cell phone. Logical. It is also a question of education. Also also. Some hobby, like that, that comes to mind. You have someone? Yeah. Look, I can’t stand seeing dirty glasses. Dirty glasses?
Yes. I’m eating with someone and I see that someone drinks… well… their glass of wine or whatever and leaves a mark of their lips on the glasses and it makes me sick… I mean, I can’t . And when I drink, I always make
A little movement with my lips to remove the marks if there are any left, you know? I mean… yeah, I don’t know, it makes me really sick… But… And of course, I don’t like drinking from other people’s glasses.
But for that reason, not because they left germs or I don’t know what, because I can’t stand seeing the marks. The edge especially of the glass. Yes, the edge of the glass. And do you have any particular hobbies? Well yes, I have an unspeakable mania,
But… I’m going to confess it to you. Come go. I can’t stand breadcrumbs. breadcrumbs!? Yes, they are… Ugh. They are terrible, I go psychotic with the breadcrumbs. Because? Because… I don’t know… they’re like bugs. And…and…and I can’t stand them.
I know that everyone, when they eat bread… obviously crumbs fall, but when I finish eating at the table I get up like a man possessed to quickly clean up those crumbs that I can’t stand to see. Come on, you’re a bit of a clean freak, maybe. Well… Yes, maybe.
Hey, are you a manic person? Wow… Well, I wouldn’t say I’m a maniac, but I do have some obsessions. For example? Look, for example, I can’t stand clutter on the computer, especially on the desk. I always, when I’m working on something, put it on the desktop and when I’m done I
Delete it… and that’s it. You don’t have forty thousand folders there… No, no. In fact, when I look at someone else’s screen and see tons of little icons and files and things that have been there for years… it really makes me nervous.
It makes me want to take it away from the computer and delete everything.
