I am off to a polyphony workshop in the south of Spain, commune of Andalusia. A small pueblas blancas called Jimena de la Frontera. Not famous, like it's neighboring Jerez de la Frontera, which begat Sherry for the world. I fly into Malaga, birthplace of Picasso, but I won't have time to walk in his early footsteps. The course has been designed with care by the extraordinary Patrick Craig, focusing on the Spanish masters Guerrero, Lobo, and Victoria.
So no Don Draper for me this week. It's a break from pop culture. But not entirely from Twitter. Hasta luego.
