...tourists. Start by rinsing away the capital's dust and heat with a glass of chilled rosé from a drinks list that is dominated by Spanish wines but includes pacharán - the Navarrese sloe gin that lends the restaurant its name. Then order some classic tapas - nutty Iberian ham, spiced shrimp and oil-drenched salads (skip the uninspired tomato bread) - to tide you over the 30-minute wait for seafood paella. Okay, paella isn't strictly speaking a tapas dish, but when it's this moist and intensely flavored who cares...
That's why Chávez seems less than ruffled at being told by King Juan Carlos, "Por qué no te callas?" - Why don't you shut up? - over the weekend at the Ibero-American Summit of Iberian and Latin American leaders in Santiago, Chile. The king got fed up when the Venezuelan firebrand went on one of his rants and repeatedly accused former Spanish Prime Minister José MariaAznar of being a "fascist" who had supported a 2002 coup attempt against Chávez.

Spirited castanets set off the piece’s Iberian influences, and a patient bassoon solo broke through the enthusiastic cacophony of metrical shifts and rhythmic switches. The piece dashed hurriedly to its climactic ending, setting a brisk pace for the remainder of the evening...
...Those Old Hollywood romantic tropes still call to me. I was stirred by Jackman?s delicate power as a man both grieving and driven, spanning millennia, from the Iberian past to the astral future, to prove that love is stronger than death. I was impressed by Weisz? commitment to the role of Izzy, though it requires her mainly to shiver and sweat. And I was touched that Aronofsky, who could have kept making spiky little art films (and that would have been fine), took a chance on himself and the movie audience with a love story that is likely...
