What main languages are spoken here?:

I heard a little bit of Catalán being spoken up north in Navarra (the region where Pamplona is).

What type of money is used here?:

In Spain, they use the euro, along with many other countries in the European Union. One euro is worth roughly one US dollar, so it isn't hard to figure out the cost of most thngs here.

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

This can vary, but I am usually able to buy a 12 ounce bottle of mineral water for one euro.

What was the best meal this week?:

This week, the best meal I had was pinchos ("snacks") in Pamplona. We went bar-hopping, trying the best pincho in each establishment. The people of Pamplona call this custom chiquiteo. My favorite pincho was liver on bread. It is the best dish I've had so far during my time in Europe.

What music did I listen to this week?:

We went to a restaurant that had a live band. The band was playing traditional spanish Flamenco music. At one point a dancer came in and performed a small number for the audience. I thought it was a very peculiar dance.
