		<description>Hola Elena,
No sé, a lo mejor es algo cultural, pero a mí me gusta más la idea de recibir mensajes de marketing directamente de &quot;los nativos.&quot; Me parece más auténtico pero desde luego sólo cuando lo hagan bien.  

Por cierto, eres bienvenida a comentar aquí en español, en inglés, una mezcla de los dos, como quieras. 

Gracias por tu comentario. :)</description>

		<description>No sé en qué idioma prefieres el comentario, pero como me siento más cómoda con el español, allá vamos:

No tengo ni idea de por qué se promociona tan mal España en el extranjero. En general nos gusta nuestro país, pero siempre nos entran los complejos en las comparaciones. Yo, si quieres que haga patria, adoro mi tierra, Alicante, a pesar de que se  conoce sólo Benidorm y porque se sale mucho de parranda. Me gusta porque se vive genial, hay un buen clima, pero &quot;poco verde&quot;.

España tiene lugares muy bonitos para visitar, como otros sitios (de Francia sólo he estado en París y una parte del sur), pero parece que la administración no sabe invertir bien el dinero -.-

Por no hablar que resulta más convincente cuando te hablan bien de un país alguien que lo ve desde una perspectiva objetiva que el que ha vivido allí toda la vida. O eso creo.

¡Saludos!</description>

		<description>@CostaRossa...Are you referring to Carrefour? :P
@Austin....yes, that is an excellent show and from what I&#039;ve seen it has generated a lot of positive buzz both in the U.S. and Spain. But the program was produced by an American company, which is kind of the point I was driving at in this blog entry.....Why is it that non-Spaniards do a better job of promoting Spain than Spain&#039;s own tourism industry?  (That&#039;s kind of a rhetorical question.)  :)

Anyway, guys, thank you both for your comments.</description>

		<description>One thing that I think will help Spain&#039;s tourism: In the states, they have been showing a neat TV program called &quot;Spain on the road again&quot; www.spainontheroadagain.com/

After watching just one episode, I wanted to go to Spain.  Looking at the scenery, architecture, art, history and of course the great food and wine, how can anyone resist.  It&#039;s a cool show.  Hopefully it will convince more than just me to go for a visit.

Thanks for the Blog and Podcasts.</description>

		<description>So true. 

But oh, just to answer the question you posed, France has enoooormous supermarkets which offer much broader choice. The proximity to France allows my friends travel there every so often just to stock on tea, cheeses, and myself, personally, on tights and underwear which are just so much cheaper and of an infinite choice! :) :) :)</description>
