Welcome to our weekly blog about DoF members.
We hope that these blogs will entertain you as well as help you in getting to know our members and DoF better.
We asked Hakai 15 standard questions from our
Meet the Member blog questionnaire
and then we gave chance to our members to ask 5 specific questions.
Hi, im Carlos, the best Spanish member of DoF. I´m from Alcalá de Henares, an ancient city near Madrid. I'm 27 and I am working as workplace hazard prevention technician. Also I'm studying environmental science at university.
Favorite Quotes/Lines: "Si vis pacem para bellum" - Publius Flavius Vegetius

3. Favorite book? I think I can't choose a favourite book, but I love ancient culture genre, like Roman Empire or others. I accept some recommendations ;)

15. What will be your main class in Bannerlord? Infantry.
And now we will turn to the specific questions our members had for Hakai
16. Impaled Water's question: Carlos, do you support the bids for independence of Catalonians? If so, do you support the politics of the Catalan Republican Left, Together for Catalonia, or the Popular Unity Candidacy? I haven't any thought on politics.
But in my opinion the independence of a part of Spain should be voted in all the country.
17. Surreal is wondering What is the best time of year to visit Spain? Also what are some great places to see that aren't super well known outside of Spain?
I guess the best time of year is spring because in summer some places are too hot.
I recommend visiting Asturias if you like nature.
18. PaRa is curious what is your favorite race in any fantasy game (LotR, WoW, any)?
I have never played WoW or a similar game. But I choose wizard in LotR.
19. White Noise asking: What's the best and the worst thing about your country?
I think the worst thing is corruption. The best thing I would say is our diverse/different landscape and weather. We have different areas: mountains and snow, dessert with no rain, big forests, etc
Different landscape types.
20. Dlamans would like to know What is your local food that is strange for foreigners?
In Madrid its typical Squid sandwich. I think it could be strange.
And now the longest round of Bonus questions we ever had in MMM:
Question by Impaled Water: What is your favourite tapas? There are too many types of tapas that I don't know if I can choose one.
I'm thinking about one I ate some years ago which consists of baked potatoes with "mojo picón".
Another question by Impaled Water: Also ,what do you think of me? I don't know you too much but you seem a funny person, you send memes and make jokes on discord.
Question by White Noise: I visited Spain through my time in the Airforce, which historical places would you recommend to visit? All around Spain there are ancients Roman's cities, and Arabian.
Also you can find another culture villages like celtiberian or phoenician (older than Roman and Arabian empires).
Question by Tom: I heard Spanish put snails in the paiella, is that true? If so have you tried it?
Yes, you can eat snails in paella but it isn't common. Also people eat it just boiled.
But I don't like it
Question by JukeBox: What's your favorite restaurant to treat yourself? I like to go to an Indian restaurant in the city center of Alcalá.
Question by PaRa: What do you think of El-Cid? He was a good commander.
Question by Erminas: What do you think of your country's neighbors? Well, I have no problem with French and Portuguese people.
