Charlie and I’ve come to appreciate soccer more since we watched Ted Lasso. Of course, Spain is soccer-crazy. And, of course, they don’t call it soccer, they call it fútbol.
When we got to our hotel yesterday we noticed red and white striped flags along the front (photo above). When we checked in we asked about what they were for. The young woman took us over to see a newspaper. The local soccer team (Bilbao) had just won the Spanish King’s Cup (Copa del Rey) the Spanish championship match. Later we noticed the flags all over town and saw this in the bar where we had breakfast this morning.
