This is part of my #IEApplication. I hope you enjoy it!

1. What would I contain in a time
capsule to demonstrate the
legacy of my country?

2. What to choose?
• The first thing witch came to my mind was El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote book of
Miguel de Cervantes.
• Maybe I could develop this presentation around Antonio Gaudí or Dalí.
• What about music? Even The President of the United States danced La Macarena!
• Fashion could be a great topic. Inditex group is growing exponentially. Also Mango.
• If we take it into sports, we are European and World football champion. We have
Rafa Nadal and Fernando Alonso. Pau Gasol was never behind.
• If we take it to enterprise level, we have the best bank in the world. Panama Canal
expansion is leaded by Spanish company. Also desalination plants and the
investigation for Alzheimer disease vaccine.
• Spain is #1 Country in Solar Energy and 13% of our energy comes from renewals.

3. … but …
• What made Tourism revenue grew up by 14% and situate Spain as #2 most visited
country in the world? 57M visitors and we’re only 46M in 2011!
• What situates Spain as 3rd highest life expectancy in the world and 2nd if you are
female with 85,3 years old average?
• What are the most pronounced words by every single tourist that comes here?

5. Our gastronomy
• With no doubt what we are most famous and proud is about our Mediterranean diet
and its diversity.
• If I have to save the heritage of Spain in a box I would save this book…
• It was my grandmother’s book which gave to my mother and now to me.

6. The recipe
• So in order to prove I can cook, let’s make a Cocido Madrileño!
• This is a 3-course-meal witch is typical from Madrid. However some other regions of
Spain cooks some similar recipe, It is original form The Capital.
• It is a very easy recipe.
• The star product are chickpeas.
• First course is a soup followed by chickpeas and finished by a selection of meats and
chicken.
• Let’s we clear some little issue first. Every single house has its own rules. There are as
many recipes of Cocido as such us houses in Madrid. It happens the same with
Spanish Omelet and Paella and many other things.
• So this is my version. The one I learned from my mother and my grandma.

14. Final ideas
• Undoubtedly, Spanish restaurants and their chefs have been and will always be in
the list of the world's best. Ferrán Adriá’s El Bulli has been on top for years.
• Nevertheless Spanish cuisine has its origins in very humble dishes.
• Everything in Spain comes around food. Not only special occasion but none a single
commercial trade is finished without a good meal and a bottle of wine.
• Maybe not only the book would have to be preserved. Also some of our character
should be preserved.
• Some achievements of other cultures comes from engineering or sports or policy.
Our greatest achievements are our people.
