  • "Life Insurance" – Should be “Death Insurance” but they’d have a hard time selling the policies.

    However I digress.

  • A Taste of Galicia - Octopus a Feira
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.
  • A whistle-stop Guide to the Way of St James
    The patron saint of Spain, St James, is one of the most revered figures in Spain. Probably the most revered male figure, coming in second behind Mary and if truth be known probably a good way ahead of Christ.

    For those amongst us who are possibly not biblical scholars then St. James was the son of Zebedee. St James was also a disciple and a fisherman who gave up his fishing nets to follow Christ. His mother was Salome and his brother was the Apostle John. With me so far?

  • Accomodation in Northern Spain and Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia offer an exceptional variety of visitor accommodation. Accommodation can be found that will fit all forms of budgets and even the most particular tourists will find something to suit their particular needs.

    If it is luxury that you are after then the best advice should be to head straight for the exclusive hotels and “Paradors” but to be honest even the basic family “casas rurales” are extremely good value for money. Good accommodation can be found also in some of the various mountain refuges where the stunning views complement the high standard of the accommodation but also for those looking for a beach holiday on a budget there are lots of campsites to be found in the coastal areas.

    It is very easy to plan a training program not quite so easy to see it through.
  • Alcohol and High Blood Pressure Fact or Fiction
    Alcohol and High Blood Pressure - wow, this is a good one (he says putting down his pint – only joking). Consuming Alcohol and High Blood Pressure as an issue is a real conundrum.

    One the one hand, the odd wee drink now and then (he says picking his pint glass up again) is actually quite beneficial and can act as an aid and part treatment for cardiovascular purposes but it is like everything, taken to excess, therein lies the downfall.

  • An Introduction to Treatment for High Blood Pressure
    At one point, Doctors hesitated to prescribe medication for patients with a blood pressure reading of less than 159/99 Hg. This was described as “mild hypertension” and as such not deemed at the time to be dangerous.

  • Beautiful Scenery, Excellent Cuisine, What more could you want?
    With regards to the entire Spanish tourist industry Northern Spain and Galicia especially have been very much a hidden treasure. All over Northern Spain the climate is much more moderate than the rest of the Iberian Peninsula and the autonomous regions that make up this area of the country have exactly what it takes to help visiting tourists have a good time.

    The Atlantic coast of northern Spain boasts extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountain ranges are criss-crossed by numerous foot paths.
  • Beef Recipes - Galician Beef Sirloin
    Today we are going to look at a very traditional dish from the North Western corner of Spain, Galician Beef Sirloin.

    Most authorities tend to take the view point that as life in Galicia is heavily influenced by the sea that the only recipes worth taking note about are the seafood dishes so this recipe is at least part of the argument that proves that to be just yet another travel myth.
  • Beware Bank Robbers on the horizon
    I have a client who at this time of year has financial problems. Christmas tends to encourage more expenditure than is good for you.. Christmas tends to leave all of us with bills at the end of the day that we would rather not have.

    It is usually at this moment in time when we are in need that the Banks make a killing trying to offer us even more money, offering us deals left right and centre to help us smooth our way out of debt into even more debt (if the truth and the small print be known).
  • Beware Credit Card Thieves on the Horizon!
    No this is not a seasonal warning about thieves and pick-pockets (well certainly not the usual variety) but rather a heads up about the annual onslaught of direct mail from those glorious companies who have our welfare dearest to their hearts, the Worlds Credit Card Companies!

    The general perception in real estate and property investment circles is that at the moment the place to be involved in is Bulgaria.
  • Cardiac Arrest, where Death is not always so sudden?
    We’ve seen it all before, the middle aged victim staggers and clutches his chest, slumps to the floor and expires. A common sight, extremely deadly and as such 20 percent of all deaths in the US apparently are due to sudden cardiac arrest. Such is the lethal effect of these attacks in that apparently barely 5 percent of all those who suffer from them survive.
  • Careful Planning Is Always A Good Idea For Successful Travel
    OK, Hands up those who have experienced the following.

    You are sitting there on the plane which has taxied out onto the tarmac ready to go; you are relaxed, enjoying the fact that once in your life you have planned everything to perfection.
  • Chilled Asparagus Soup with a Warm Poached Egg
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. There has been a slow and steady amalgamation of the autonomous regions that collectively make up modern day Spain and all have kept their own individual identities in such a way that potentially preclude any “culinary amalgamation” between them.
  • Coffee, Good or Bad for the Blood Pressure?
    Caffeine, Good or Bad for the Blood Pressure? This is another one of those “is it or isn’t it” issues that probably by and large depends on a whole variety of associated issues but as it is one of the most regular of all of our queries I thought I would go ahead and try and provide some form of opinion.
  • Collecting Antiques – The Peoples Art
    In this, the first in a series of articles, we discuss the growth in the marketability of what used to be called Peoples Art and the marketability of everyday packaging materials.

    In the past it would have been deemed as vulgar to display any form of branding of any goods on display within the house.
  • Collecting Antiques – The Peoples Art Part 2
    In part one of this series of articles we discussed the growth in the marketability of antique brand images and how the apparent extinction of the brand itself can lead to the rapid rise of the marketability of the antique value of the packaging itself.

    Posters were very much in the vanguard of this market and it is quote ironic that when you look back from the experience of hindsight to see such names that have been involved in this type of commercial enterprise it would appear to be quite amusing.
  • Combining Travelling and Working at the same Time. Good Idea or just plain Dumb?
    The Associated Press have recently reported that 20% of us take our laptop computers with us when we go on holiday.Add to this the other four in five people who said they brought along their mobile phones and you get the impression that some of us can’t bare to be out of touch with the office.
  • Come To London – A Great Place To Visit!
    I love London, it is my kind of town. Now I know that to most people this would sound as if I am plagiarising some advertising copy for either New York or Chicago but in this case I truly mean it.
  • Common Risk Factors and Possible Causes of Divorce
    The first thing that we need to take into consideration when we not considering this object is not very little scientific data exists on it.

    OK listen up folks, do you have a mountain of debt on your credit cards that would probably put a third world developing nation to shame?

  • Crossing Spain on Historic Pilgrimage Route’s, The Way of St James

  • Debt consolidation is considered as an easy way to handle debts.
    Hmmnnn…., this old gag rears it’s ugly head on a regular basis. The truth of the situation (and here speaks someone who has gone through the mill on this one, come out the other side minus most of his shirt but still alive and kicking) is that this is only partly true.
  • Debt Consolidation: From Generation X to Generation Broke
    “Never in the field of Human Endeavour has so much been owed by so many” – apologies to the late Sir Winston Churchill.

  • Desperately seeking……no longer.
    Stephen Morgan assesses how the face of online dating and introduction agencies has changed over the years and how it now appears to be one of the growth areas of the Internet.
  • Discovering Undiscovered Spain and Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry. Whereas elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula the climate can be quite continental and extreme, in the northwest and on the coast the climate is as you would expect much milder and more of a maritime nature.

    With regards to Galicia you have a region where you have a rugged coastline with extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountainous regions provide a completely different experience for the visitor.
  • Driver Education – Must be due for a Re-Think
    What is it with cars and speed? Is it that the majority of drivers feel this very primeval urge described once by the actor Tom Cruise in the film Top Gun as “I feel the need, the need for speed?”
  • Driver Safety – Too Little Too Late?
    With not wishing to appear like a complete and utter killjoy (no pun intended here I'm afraid) there is something seriously amiss with the current generation all recently qualified drivers, especially those amongst young men.
  • Eeks! Beware Attack of the Low Cost Carriers
    OK folks, sit up in the back row and pay attention. Hands up those who reckon they can name more than four Low Cost Carriers or (as we more commonly refer to them as) Budget Airlines in Europe?

    “Whaaat! There’s more than two?” I hear you scream.
  • Enjoy the affluent and varied traditions of Northern Spain and Galicia
    Spain has a series of affluent and varied traditions that is very much a product of the long and quite convoluted history that as a country it has had to undergo.

  • Erectile Dysfunction is it all in the mind or is it a symptom of something else?
    Erectile Dysfunction, a phrase guaranteed to strike fear into the vast majority of men (and women too if surveys are to be believed) is the one thing that nine times out of ten can cause deep long lasting psychological scars if not treated carefully and properly.
  • Erectile Dysfunction – one of the side effects of High Blood Pressure
    Erectile Dysfunction caused by High Blood Pressure? The majority of us know what this means and even those who don’t exactly know the complete technical and medical reasons for the condition know about its implications, or so it would seem.

    The reason I mention this is to ensure that any editorial policy makers out there reading (or scanning) their way through this article can be reassured that it is indeed about a medical condition and not some salacious attempt at titillation by deceit.

    OK hands up all those who remember the Crazy Frog?

    Yes come on, don’t be shy, we all know you know? Remember the funny little character that bounced about a lot with a funny grin that had more than its fair share of fixed rigor mortis to it.
  • Fresh Mussels – Galician Style
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Fried Milk Fritters for Galicia
    Spanish food has always been heavily regionally based and the reason for this lies with the history of the country and the make up of the regions themselves. This has lead on several occasions to the belief that there is no such thing technically as pure “Spanish cooking”.

  • Galicia, A Geological and Historical Introduction
    The first sign of any real settled existence in Northern Spain probably began around about the time circa 4000 BC. The evidence to support this claim comes from some of the striking archaeological remnants to be found right across the north of Spain known as Dolmens..
  • Galician Bread with Raisins – a Taste of Rural Galicia
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.

  • Galician Cuisine – Roast Sardines with Boiled Potatoes
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Indian Food, Chinese Food but when you refer to Spain or to put it possibly more accurately food and recipes that originate from the Country of Spain it is not that straightforward.

    The relatively recent unification of Spain as a single political entity is really the main driving force that lies behind this theory as the country is an amalgamation of the various autonomous regions that lie within it. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Galician Flat Pies
    Today we are going to look at a very traditional dish from the North Western corner of Spain, the Galician Flat Pie or the Empanada.

    The thing about an empanada is that once you have got the concept just right and you've managed to get the texture and the flour correct for the crust then you can add almost anything to it that you like. It really is one of the most versatile things going and is as it was originally designed, a meal in itself.

  • Getting a “Real” Real Estate Agent Could Help You Sell Your House Properly

  • Grilled Pilgrim Scallops
    It is quite common when you take a look at the native cuisine from any one particular country to come up with a particular theme or common approach / name for the catering or cuisine from that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Guest Houses, Inns and Hotels in Northern Spain
    Northern Spain and Galicia offer an exceptional variety of visitor accommodation. Accommodation can be found that will fit all forms of budgets and even the most particular tourists will find something to suit their particular needs.

    If it is luxury that you are after then the best advice should be to head straight for the exclusive hotels and “Paradors” but to be honest even the basic family “casas rurales” are extremely good value for money. The region is dotted with mountain refuges with stunning views not to mention that in the coastal areas you can find quite a few campsites.
  • Heart Attack – we all know the term, but what exactly is a Heart Attack?
    It has possibly been described as THE disease of the 20th Century and is certainly the one of the Century’s biggest killers but what exactly is Heart Disease and what exactly is a Heart Attack?

    As they say, what is in a name? Well in this case the most common terminology in use is as follows. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is (as the name suggests) the Disease of the Coronary Arteries.

  • High Blood Pressure an Equal Opportunity Condition
    At the risk of sounding sarcastic and being hounded by the feminist lobby – High Blood Pressure is what they call an “Equal Opportunity Disease” and by that I mean that it does exactly what the description says – it can hit anyone of any gender at any one time!
  • High Blood Pressure and Salt, What is the Big Deal?
    Sodium Chloride (the chemical name for Salt, the culinary cooking condiment not the International Treaty on Weapons limitation) is an essential element in the life of human beings. Most people think of Salt purely in terms of that little white food seasoning found in shakers on virtually very food table the world over.Just how essential is it however?
  • High Blood Pressure and the use of Medication
    The use of medication as the primary form of treatment for High Blood Pressure has come on in leaps and bounds over the past fifty years and what was once a very inexact science has now become one where by and large it is very exact.
