I loveeeee the publicity in the metro! It is one of the places that you visit the most on a daily basis and so you have to pay attention to all the billboards, etc. But what I find interesting and very cool is the type of publicity these billboards show, which is actual educational stuff. That is something I really like about Madrid, that for us being new to this city we can find so many cool places, events or exhibitions that we can go to just by learning about them on the metro. There is this actual exhibition that I just found out about, in one of the Metro stations that was recently closed down. I think it was made just for this purpose, to make it kind of like a museum. I haven’t been there yet but I’m planning to go because I like how simple things can be transformed into something so beautiful. For example, the Retiro stop. This whole wall is filled with a very funny, caricature painting. I think that’s pretty cool. Overall all these publicities are kind of in your face so you don’t have a choice than to read them at one point or the other (great strategy).
Something I was noticing recently in Spanish TV is that even though they transmit a lot of the American TV shows, the original ones are pretty good. I watched Pasapalabras couple of times already and I really like it. I think it’s good that they test you a little bit about different periods of time. The viewer can actually learn and the show can target young and older people. However, there is this other show that is completely the opposite, Salvame Deluxe. I feel like this show is so long and they’re always fighting, cursing or yelling. It’s like a madhouse. And maybe I don’t understand it because is focusing on Spanish celebrities but still is kind of really opinionated and feisty all the time.
