Spain will have a satellite observation system by 2010
Posted by julia on 20 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Spain
Talk about high tech , the Spaniards are really forward thinking people and at the same time problem solvers. They are to become the first country in Europe to own a satellite system. The Canary Island newspaper reported last week that the Ministries for Defense and Industry will collaborate on a project that will launch two satellites ,(one optical and one radar, connected by a control which will be held in the Maspalomas Space Centre in Gran Canaria) into space for earth observation.
The main reason for this new system will be to hold observations of the Spanish and northern African territory to control illegal immigration. This will be a primary military tool with some civil users at hand. This great little tool will have a price tag of about 325 million € and should be up and running by 2010.

Travel Spain via Google Maps
Posted by julia on 16 Apr 2007 | Tagged as: Spain
I always knew about Google maps but I never realized how useful they could really be when you are planning a road trip to a city you have never been to before. If you have never tried it and you are thinking of coming to Spain and renting a car so you can experience Spanish routes, I think you should give this great tool a try.
You can type basically any address and boom it takes you directly there. You can plan your road trip and map out everywhere you want to go. You can save your very own routes of maps and print them out. What a great idea, I wish they would have had this when I was a child..all those road trips with my parents, getting lost and not knowing where we were going.

Yes, Spain not only has beautiful women, the men here are also gorgeous and one great example is Juan Garcia Postigo. He is from Malaga and at 25, he has become the most handsome man in the world. His blue eyes and fantastic smile won over the judges and a few women I suspect..me one of them..in the Mr. World contest celebrated in China last week.
So, all you ladies out there who just needed one more reason to visit Spain, here you have it. I´m sure there are more men like him here, you just need to come and look for them.
