That's one of the reasons I'd like to go somewhere else eventually. Anywhere interesting is an hour's drive away: Granada, Córdoba, Cazorla. Málaga 2 hours

I saw that! Truthfully I don't think it'll ever become a tourist destination. You can see everything in a day, two maximum. If it was closer to the Costa maybe

Correct. I live in Spain and it's incredible when it rains. The factory where I work has buckets all over the place catching water. Millions of euros worth of equipment and it's like that!

It is a lovely town. Shame this might make it busier!

Just bought abonos for next season. 50€ each since we were counted as renewing having got half season tickets last year. Full price is 90€. High up behind the goal so equivalent to the North Stand where used to be at Boro. Jaén rapidly getting rid of players ready to get better ones in at the...

Here's a 6 minute highlight video. We were sat on the opposite side near the top. I hate those pre match hymns they have in Spain by the way.

Jaén has one stand with shade: price 30€. The rest of the stadium 15€! Cazorla scored as well didn't he. Great story.

They did! The bloody sun. Jesus it was hot. First half was a bit tense - they lost a goal after 10 minutes - but once they equalised it was never in doubt. I have to say that I don't like these roofless stadiums. The sun is cruel and a lot of the atmosphere is lost. It was a proper party which...

Totally agree with @spanishman . Go east! We are planning on moving to the coast (away from this horrible heat) for retirement and I doubt it will be the the Costa del Sol - too expensive and too busy. We'll probably end up somewhere between Nerja and Mojacar in Almeria. Maybe even the Costa...

Yes Yes! And they had 1200 away fans which is pretty much unheard of. We've already got our tickets for the second leg on Sunday. It's going to be another hot one. Current forecast is 39 degrees for Sunday

I don't understand it very well either. Typically complicated in Spain. In one way it makes sense because it's regional and the distances are large. But the naming seems crazy for understanding

Real Jaén miraculously through to the last round of the play offs. I say miraculously because they always lose in the playoffs. The result today certainly wasn't miraculous, they played very well and won easily 3-0. Next week against Club Atlético Central from Sevilla. No idea if they are any...

Sorry to sound dumb but what is FMS?

Good point. Here in Jaén it is Spanish, a few Italian and a couple of Chinese (not very good) and that's it.

I met a girl from school 25 years later after becoming Facebook friends. 13 years later we are still together and engaged.
