All Roads Lead to Home

Moving to Spain does not mean leaving home behind and the Madrid Metropolitan explains how sometimes there is just no getting away from the Emerald Isle.

From jumping off a cliff with an paragliding instructor who learnt English in Dublin
to a Spanish teacher´s relatable stories of her time in Ireland, taking up Irish sports I
didn´t play back home, finding an Irish knight fighting in a medieval tournament,
celebrating Joyce on Bloomsday, finding a boatful of Irish girls in Retiro,
photographing, Alcala and Cibeles turning green for St Patrick´s Day, picnicking with
large Irish groups, dying people´s hair green during a political campaign and even
finding a job where the interviewer asked me to say hello to my parents at the end.
Irelañd is never far away or as the Spanish say, el mundo es un pañuelo.
