The June 2007 edition contained an article by Peter Moore on the Botellon
culture in Spain. The article described this act of drinking in the streets during the night time in Spain and how for many young Spanish people the act is far more representative of Spanish interests than bullfighting or flamenco. The article was translated into Spanish by the 20 minutos
