In Marcha with Coffee Break Spanish Season 1 Episode 7 Hello, all and welcome to another episode of in Marcha with Coffee Break Spanish. Today we are in the auto bina in the road of the Mediterranean and we are in in the way to Frigiliana, which is one of my people preferridden of all the world,

and also officially is one of the people most bonitos of Spain. And that's what we are heading to Frijiliana. And Frijianna has a very important place in my heart because a couple of years ago, we filmed the whole of our children's series High Five Spanish there.

And today we're going to be meeting up with two of the stars of High Fis Spanish, Marina and Miguel. And I'm really looking forward to seeing them. No doubt they've grown up. But that happens. We are good to also be speaking. I'm going to be speaking.

usual in this episode of Enmarcha, we'll be balancing the Spanish interviews with some discussion of the language included in those interviews to help you understand things and that discussion will continue in our language study episode, which is one of the premium elements of Enmarta. If you've already

purchased our course, then you'll be able to enjoy that language study episode and there's also some really nice video content this week to look forward to filmed in Frigiliana and of course I'll tell you how to get access to that at the end of the episode. Very often when you're travelling, some of the people that you come across

are not necessarily native speakers of the language. So in this case we're starting the trip to Frigliana in the market, it's market day and a couple of the people that you're about to hear are not native speakers of Spanish. but of course is equally important to be able to understand them in order to buy the product in the market or whatever it happens to be.

okay it's time to move on from the market now earlier when I was

introducing the episode in the car, I mentioned that we were going to be speaking to a lady from the Ayuntaimiano, in Frigiliana. But when we got there, it turned out to be David, who works in the tourist information office, and he was born and raised in the village. We asked him about what his job involved and what he could recommend that we see in the town. Well, here we are with David. Well, you can explain us who are you? Well, I'm one of the auxiliares of tourism that is in the office of

Frigiliana Well, we're in the place perfect for that you can't explain us what is Frigiliana

and also what there for the tourists here well Frigiliana is a city of

the province of Malaga we are in the part of the Axarquia that is

the zone this the area of the so so if

we can we can't we can explain a how would be a visit to Frigiliana and the part

Antiglianna and the part Antigua of the Perfect, me it seems perfect Well, well, for to start, we'll start in this edificio that we're in the

officeine of tourism is just in the center geographic of the people, with what the part touristica

is the part right, all the part the part of the world. So, we'd we'd be

the office of tourism, cruisariams a patio that we have to our right, we're going a escalerita and then

we're up to the part antio the first the first we're the first is the

ingenio the ingenio is a fabric of cana of sugar and also is the

only fabric of can the cana of sugar that produce milk

in Europe and we're we we're we're we're

we're next section gets a little bit complicated, a little bit technical, because we're talking here about the process of making what we call in the UK tricle or sugar cane syrup. If you coge the sugar, it's sugar, it's mule, it's, it's a process of distillation, and there's a thing that here, we call it, not is meal, the meal, the meal is the abejas, but is

what is the melaza of the meal that has a texture very, very

very very very very that is that is what is that

berregenas or to whatever other the contrast between salado

and dulce is very good very good and it's perfect and I

can definitely recommend one of the tapas very commonly served in the area which

berenges with miel de cania obergine or eggplant served with this sugar cane syrup. I went on to ask David more about this idea that Frigiliana is one of the

most beautiful villages in Spain. And Frigiliana is one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Frigiliana is in the United States. Frigilliana is in the three-pueblos of Spain. In fact, he has gained various premiums. Also, gained a premium of Tercera Maravilla Rural, of Andalucia. It has various. We can't say how is called a person that is

the Frigillian? The term official is Frigilianens although the people of around

us call Aguanosos Oh, well It's a story a little long

simply those ago, in Frigiliana there had many

melocotones and they they were in the the people of NERHA. And in the other

to say, the people had been there say, vendemes melocotones, they said, they're here

the Auanos. They were to the Molocotones. But, of Frigiliana, well, Frigiliana, Agonoso,

and from that we're the abonosos. And you you are abonosos? I amos also.

I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm curious because we're three brothers,

my two brothers were in the hospital but I know. I was very rapid and I'm in the

house of my mother. So I am a buro a cup. Perfect. Much thanks.

When you want you're we're going to give us a huge amount of information and there's actually

a full version of this interview in the bonus materials for this episode in which he suggests

a recorido a guided tour a circular route around the town of Fijiliana. Okay, we decided to head out and wander around Frijiliana and we spoke to a tourist to find out why he had decided to come to visit this village. We've been in the north of Spain, of Leone, and we're in NERHA, and then, as through the web, this people, of the Red of the Poules Most Bonito of Spain, we've, we've been to visit it.

That is the motive. And what do? Well? We're good. It's very beautiful. It's the climate, the all the streets, all right,

very well. And is very different to Leone? Yes, it's very different, of the ambient this Mudejara, the reminiscence

Arab that is there, no. There, the north of Spain is different, completely, and the climate, no,

we're very beautiful, in the sense that in the few kilometers there are many different cultures and

there's the mountain, you're in the climate arid how is this jubioso gali it's a

very in the many kilometers there very different cultures and

very true words there in just a few kilometers the landscape and the

culture can change hugely and we actually saw that very phenomenon

because we then drove a few kilometers from a hilltop village down to

the seasai town of Maro and you may remember that in episode six

we spoke to my good friend Jenny who has lived in Maro for many years. Jenny put us in contact with some people from her town, so he sat down and had a chat with them about life in Maro. First of all, we spoke to Christiane, who describes his hometown as paradise. Well, I live in the Paraiso, here in Maro, and I've been a little bit the theme of the

world of the dance and the union of the culture, at the time, here in the people. We're using the flamenco as instrument of union, of various styles. We use the flamenco and we're fusioning with music to English, with music. Arabic, with music Latin. And the flamenco is very important

for this region of Spain, no? The flamenco is patrimonial of the humanity. So, for

us a treasure that we can have to make a many different and we

are using one that is completely new. I think for the majority of the tourists

that come in here, only know the flamenco in general. You can

explain us a what are the differences between the different

types of flamenco? Yes, there is a medium very important, that is the medium of exploitation, that is the flamenco, that is the flamenco, of which we're up completely.

Our style is... ...sevahs, the zone of the area choreographs, of the area of union social, that we've got to do choreography and styles different completely, that are disconocides

as far as the tourists, as the people, as the people who are here? And Amaro, do you, many tourists? Yes, Maro, and every more is a referent touristic, very, very

great, very important, and, and, over all, is taking much a level to the region of the Coast of the Sol. We then had the pleasure of having a coffee break with Don Antonio who has lived in Maru all his life.

You've lived here since a much time? Yes, yeah, of all the life, yeah. What do you mean, how many years, if I'm permit? Well, I live here, normally

72 years. A you like Maro? Much, much, much, much. Why? What is

special of Maro? Maro is special like all that person who live in a town and

is a place. I've been the last house that there's in the

house I have been I've been created. Only there's a question that I've

been a 20 years living in NERC because I'm in the police and he bought a piece and we went

to go to and we've never been to go to the days to be my all the days. I've been here.

And then I'm now I'm living now, the rest of the 20 years that I've been in the cruise of the

Cueba here at the same cruce. I'm going to get to all the day all the time after

all the time to come a coffee, no life normal. It's a life perfected no?

Perfect. Well, much much thanks thanks. A coffee break splendid, much thank you.

for your question and I say to answer you, there's a problem. For our final interview of this episode on our way back to Malaga, we stopped off in the beautiful town of NERGA, which has been mentioned a number of times in this episode. And there we were lucky enough to catch up with some old friends,

or rather young friends. Hello, I should I say, Ola! My name is Sophie, and I've come all the way to Sunny Spinn to meet us my friends. Sophie! Sophie!

It's like German, which I'm starting to learn, so it's a lot harder for me. Pretty easy if it's normal English, if you are studying complex sentences or like an exam of first language or something like that is pretty difficult. Preferredies to be in Spanish or in English?
