No blog about Spain would be complete without mentioning the strange relationship that most people here have to the Catholic church.
An old joke to demonstrate:
Mother-in-law: "Are you a catholic?"
Me: "I'm an atheist actually"
Mother-in-law: "But you're a catholic atheist, right?"

in fact i've noticed that many people here use the term "christian" to mean "catholic" and then look bemused when i explain to them that there are several christian religions out there which are not catholic! i don't think they believe me....
Wait till you try to tell them that some of them don't even have saints!
