Which Spaniards Read the Most, and Other Interesting Things in Today's Paper

According to an article published in today's El pais, madrileños are the Spaniards who read the most, while extremeños read the least. According to a 2006 study undertaken by the Federación de Gremios de Editores 63% of madrileños over 14 years old claim to be readers of books, a reduction from 2005's 68%.

Another interesting fact: the average Spaniard spent 1,355 euros on food in 2006.

Spaniards appear to be the Europeans who most frequently abuse alcohol. According to the Eurobarómetro, in a study made public today by the European Commission, 28% of Spaniards who drink have five or more copas several times a week. They are followed by Austrians and, maybe you guessed it, the Irish.

In other news, we watched House in Spanish last night.

Man, it's hard to keep this blogging thing going.
