Commentaries

Commentaries on the chapters

Longer notes for the questions a chapter cannot settle in a paragraph: how a morning at the office goes, what changes with the seasons, what readers ask us again and again.

Calle Santa Isabel, a narrow cobbled street in the old town of Toledo, between brick and plastered houses with wrought-iron balconies and a wall lantern, leading the eye up to the Gothic north tower and spire of the cathedral against a deep blue sky
Calle Santa Isabel and the cathedral tower.

  1. Your cita previa confirmation, line by line

    The booking is made, and a page in Spanish appears: what each line says, what to check before closing it, and what it means for your morning at number 57.

  2. Número, identidad, extranjero: reading the NIE

    Spanish administrative words are not hard, only unfamiliar. A translator’s reading of the words that come with the NIE, from asignación to concordancia.

  3. A flat in Seseña, a job in Madrid: your papers

    You sleep in Seseña or Illescas and work in Madrid. Why your residence file belongs to Toledo, the order of the steps, and the booking mistake to avoid.
