Here's a 6 minute highlight video. We were sat on the opposite side near the top. I hate those pre match hymns they have in Spain by the way.

Jaén has one stand with shade: price 30€. The rest of the stadium 15€! Cazorla scored as well didn't he. Great story.

They did! The bloody sun. Jesus it was hot. First half was a bit tense - they lost a goal after 10 minutes - but once they equalised it was never in doubt. I have to say that I don't like these roofless stadiums. The sun is cruel and a lot of the atmosphere is lost. It was a proper party which...

Totally agree with @spanishman . Go east! We are planning on moving to the coast (away from this horrible heat) for retirement and I doubt it will be the the Costa del Sol - too expensive and too busy. We'll probably end up somewhere between Nerja and Mojacar in Almeria. Maybe even the Costa...

Yes Yes! And they had 1200 away fans which is pretty much unheard of. We've already got our tickets for the second leg on Sunday. It's going to be another hot one. Current forecast is 39 degrees for Sunday

I don't understand it very well either. Typically complicated in Spain. In one way it makes sense because it's regional and the distances are large. But the naming seems crazy for understanding

Real Jaén miraculously through to the last round of the play offs. I say miraculously because they always lose in the playoffs. The result today certainly wasn't miraculous, they played very well and won easily 3-0. Next week against Club Atlético Central from Sevilla. No idea if they are any...

Sorry to sound dumb but what is FMS?

Good point. Here in Jaén it is Spanish, a few Italian and a couple of Chinese (not very good) and that's it.

I met a girl from school 25 years later after becoming Facebook friends. 13 years later we are still together and engaged.

Jamón y queso would be the most common

Torre del Mar. Just bought our usual seats. So we'll be burst to a crisp no doubt

We got half season tickets this year. Most of the stadium is uncovered so the sun and temperature is no joke. Thinking about paying extra for the shade on Sunday

Real Jaén got through the first round of the play-offs. They lost the first leg of the second round 1-0. Second leg at home on Sunday. The forecast at the moment is 37 degrees on Sunday!

The weather. Relentless sunshine and ridiculously high temperatures in summer wear very thin after a while. English people in general. It's hard to put into words but I just feel that there is a connection that's missing with Spanish people, nice though they are. Family obviously. Boro when...
