This isn’t directly related to Cuenca, or to expat life, but it might be worth a few minutes.
“BBC Mundo” has news written clearly in good Spanish, a handy place to practice reading. Yesterday I found the story of “Ahinara, la niña ecuatoriana a la que una pionera terapia en España logró ‘borrar’ un tumor cerebral”, about a seven-year-old Ecuadorian girl with a cancerous brain tumor.
“Ahinara’s cancer – a type of brain sarcoma rare in Europe but seen more frequently in Latin America – was perfectly suited to the proton therapy offered by the clinic at the University of Navarra (one of two private medical centers that provides this type of therapy in Spain).”
