Memories of lugging those bottles up to my fourth-floor flat...

This is a great read, Simone.

I came across it looking through the 'Spain' topic tag as I have just set up a publication for Spain/Portugal/Latin America-themed stories - https://medium.com/iberospherical - and am looking to add new writers.

Would you be interested in joining?

I can't promise much of an audience yet, but hope to get the project snowballing in the next month or so. And I can promise a quick response to submissions, which I know from experience is a major point when deciding whether to self-publish or go through a pub.

If you are interested, let me know and I'll add you. You could also then add your previously self-published 'Spanish life' stories from the edit options, if you like, and they would remain on the home page for a while, although with their original publication date.

Anyway, if you would like to jump aboard, just reply to this comment and I'll add you.

And welcome to the land of orange butane bottles that give out half way through your shower!

¡Saludos!
