Autobombo October

A little bit of press for the new neighborhood.

Latest autobombo

I hadn’t been doing much writing since the demise of Inside Spain back in March (yes, the crisis has hit very close to home), but I’m happy to report that I’ve started up again. I’m writing about Madrid for the travel site Momondo, which is primarily a flight search engine, but also has a well-reported section of travel articles from cities around the world. My first piece, about Madrid terrazas, is up and there should be more to come soon. Keep up with me here.

March autobombo

In this month’s Inside Spain, I have an article about Greenpeace Spain, which turns 25 this month. You can check that piece out here. Also, this month and last I did interviews with mixed-nationality couples who’ve lived together in Spain as well as the other partner’s country. In February, I talked to Amy and Nacho and this month to Reme and Mark. Enjoy!

December autobombo extravaganza!

This month features my written work in three different places: first, in the totally free monthly English-language magazine InMadrid, where I have a piece about getting your hands on organic fruit and veg in Madrid on page 18 (pdf); second, in the not free (and somewhat difficult to find) Inside Spain, where I describe Spanish eating and drinking traditions at Christmas (pdf here); and, third, in December’s Condé Nast Traveler, where I have a very short piece about president-elect Barack Obama’s celebrity supporters (this one is in Spanish).

You can pick up a copy of InMadrid at any guiri-friendly establishment in this fine city; there’s also a list here. Your best bet for finding Inside Spain is to go to one of the places on this list. And Condé Nast Traveler can be found at most kiosks and all VIPS (this last location is recommended because you can pick the mag up and read as much as you want without buying it).

Inside Spain

Lately I’ve been doing some writing for a new English-language magazine in Spain. The mag, which is called Inside Spain, aims to bring Spanish culture and news into focus for expats living in the country. It also has sections about property, legal issues, and even colloquial language brought to you by our friends Ben and Marina over at Notes in Spanish. I wrote the food and wine section for September’s issue, and in the October issue, I did some reporting about horchata. Enjoy!

If you pass a kiosco…

And pick up this month’s (May, that is) Condé Nast Traveler (España), you will find something I’ve written at the very end of the issue. It’s a page about parks and plazas in Madrid, which is part of the issue’s Madrid guide. I would put it online, but ‘fraid this is only available at your local newsstand (and in español!).

Autobombo II

You’re all going to think this site is just about self-promotion nowadays, but I promise you it’s not. I have several posts in the works (and many more in the ol’ cabeza), but too little time these days to actually get anything up. So until then, I’ll link you to my first-ever book review. It’s the English translation of a book by a famous Spanish journalist, and therefore in keeping with the end of this blog.

Autobombo!

My favorite Madrid blog (in Spanish, of course, since you already know my fave in English) has published an interview avec moi! Check it out.
