Quotes

  [the music begins] 

  Nana Rap : From March to October, the brave matadors reign/In this fabulous city that you'll find in Spain/For Spanish master paintings, one place has a lock/It's to the Prado Museum that the art lovers flock/Now, if you're feeling hungry, want a nibble to eat/Try small dishes called tapas, and you're in for a treat/From the mushrooms in oil to baby eels that they fry/Those tapas foods are deft, and the city is fly/You've got the Nana
