A few more news items and where to find more news about Spain:

24% of Spanish homes have access to the Internet

According to recent official surveys by the National Statistics Institute in December 2002 the number of people with access to the Internet was only 17.4%, but a year later had grown to 24%. By the end of July '03, the number of ADSL lines was 1,343,823 with Madrid and Barcelona way ahead, emphasising the gap between town and country in technological advance. (El Mundo, TVE)

43% of Spanish computer users hit their machine when it fails to work as they would like. Principal problem seems to be the mouse.

P4S happy with first year

Demonstrators in Madrid

Once again we thank our visitors for your interest and concern for Spain. In January the number of visits reached the 2000 level for the third month in a row, despite a considerable and understandable drop in visits over Christmas. Compared to the 2,500 visits in January to the English language pages of the official news service of the evangelical churches, ACpress, we are indeed delighted.

As at 25th, February has seen somewhat less visits, but the number of visitors has remained steady and may finally have increased and is certainly above 1,100. The total number of visits for our first year (which got off to an understandably slow start until after the summer) has been over 13,000. Thank you!
