Did you completely lose the plot and not have the slightest idea of what was going on? Please give an example.

What is your favourite instrumental only piece of music? Are you prone to whistling?Cronus/Saturn devouring his son by Francisco Goya is to my mind one of the most disturbing paintings I have seen, you can see it too if you visit The Prado Museum in Madrid, what is one of the most disturbing books and/or paintings you have seen?Watching Cronus having his dinner has given you an appetite so you repair to a restaurant to try Spain's national dish the Paella, if I were to visit your home town what restaurant would you take me to and what would be the dish you would most recommend? We will pause in our journey for now but if you have enjoyed it up to now we will continue in the near future.Please tag some people and also feel free as always to edit, change or add your own questions to this tag.Next time we will move further west on the Iberian peninsula and head to Portugal until then até mais
