Luis explains to Monica how, in order to write for others, one must first write for him or herself.

In the final part of this series, Luis advises Monica to do exercises to control her own anger before advising others how to control theirs.

Italian pop star Eros Ramazzotti teams up with Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin in this duet, “No Estamos Solos” (“We are not alone”—or, “Non Siamo Soli” in its Italian version). Born in Rome, the 44-year-old Ramazzotti is no duet virgin: He’s recorded songs with the late Luciano Pavarotti, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, Cher and Carlos Santana, to name a few.

Spanish singer/songwriter, Enrique Iglesias, became the biggest seller of Spanish-language albums of the nineties within five years of beginning his career and subsequently made a successful crossover into the mainstream English language market. His hit single, "Alguien soy yo" is from his 2007 Spanish language album entitled Insomniac.

This is one of those tunes that might stick in your head, but don’t worry, it’s a good one! From the album that bears the same name as the song, Amores Lejanos, the prolific Enanitos Verdes sing about the trials of distant love. Go ahead and sing along, no one is watching!

In this fun video that reminds us a bit of Elvis Costello, Enanitos Verdes front man Marciano Cantero contemplates new looks, and a bevy of fine looking ladies give their critique. The band formed in their native Mendoza back in the late 70s, but still cranks out hits to this day.

Emiro spent years crewing an oil tanker, and many more as a fisherman commanding his own lancha, so it’s no surprse to find him at the helm of his own seaside kitchen, the Pimienta Café in Adícora. Join us as we drop in to check out the menu!

Emiro used to live in oil-rich Maracaibo, where his father was headmaster of the school system Shell oil ran for the children of employees. (Did you know: Venezuela is the only country in the Americas that’s a member of OPEC? And a founding member at that!)

Javier is proud of his fruit stand: he says it’s the best in all of Tijuana, Mexico. He explains to us how he prepares the different fruit shakes, fruit cocktails, and fruit salads, as well as a special recipe from Tijuana for tostilocos.

Julián Martínez will tell us a bit about himself, including how he grew up between Mexico and the United States and came to be a teacher at various levels and institutions.

From Quito, Ecuador, Julia informs us about the effects that COVID-19 has had on her great city.

San Sebastian? Barcelona? What’s the difference? Listen in to get an unbiased (wink, wink) comparison of the two Spanish cities from Ester, an instructor at San Sebastian's renowned Spanish language school, El Aula Azul.

Can money buy happiness? That’s the subject of this friendly debate between Ester and her friend…Ester. It seems that too much reasoning has split our El Aula Azul friend in two. Can money at least cure our friend Ester?

Silvia from San Sebastián shares her daily routine with us. She leads a very active lifestyle that includes a meal with her parents, work at a Spanish language academy for foreigners (El Aula Azul), a drink with friends, and even some quality time with her cats!

Ah, family… We love them all, each in their own special way. Ester, a teacher at San Sebastian's Spanish language school, El Aula Azul, tells us what makes cousin Carolina attractive and what makes us love cousin Pedro. These two Spaniards couldn’t be more opposite.
