Alcala de Henares WABAS 2018 extracted, with permission from Anything But Paella Russ Pearce WABAS, or more precisely the group of  Writers and Bloggers about Spain, is a group of writers and bloggers who publish content about Spain in English. This was the ninth time that they have gathered together to share experience and ideas, and what an incredible group of people they are. Thankfully there were no  TV appearances this time! This year’s meet-up was in the beautiful town of Alcala de Henares, just outside Madrid. It’s known as the birthplace of Cervantes as well as the city where Christopher Columbus had his audience with Queen Isabella to fund his trip to the New World!
