I imagine that this is what Paul had in mind.

I managed to finish. I liked the crossword because it had lots of clever clues but the solutions were words I had heard of. I don’t mind the 2 flowers and especially liked ‘Narcissus’, ‘Arbutus’, ‘Freesia’. ‘Carnation’ and ‘Ectoplasm’.

Paul B @29: Our “bickering” over 25781 has been cut off. Before they ban me altogether I should say that my last comment “As you know” ought to have said “As we both know”. I haven’t forgotten your kindness in the matter of my mouth, my foot and church-crawling.

I read it!! Zamora is wonderful, as is Salamanca. Philology might be the key to crosswords although the Reality might be different.

Oh yes Federico Garcia Lorca, and Julio Alfredo Egea, to name but two!! And, of course if you are talking about Spanish language poets Pablo Neruda. El Pais is a wonderful newspaper by the way, don’t get me wrong.
