Spain's multiple languages are obviously part of its enormous cultural richness and diversity. Just as obviously, those languages are often exploited politically as a means to divide rather than unite people.

Three years ago, I read side-by-side Cervantes' original Quijote & the brilliant Tobias Smollett 1755 translation. Now I'm reading & comparing the modern Trapiello version & the John Rutherford 2002 translation. A novel that is absolutely in a class of its own.

Right now there's a fantastic exhibition at the Museo de Bellas Artes, Valencia, of the often overlooked Golden Age master Pedro Orrente (a personal favourite). Also includes work by contemporaries and influences including Bassano, Veronés, El Greco, Ribalta. Superb.

It was a tremendous pleasure to chat once again with Brendan, this time discussing the wonder that is Museo del Prado - its origins, its history, its survival, its highlights, and its massive embrace of digitisation and social media.
