Hugh Elliot, british ambassador in Spain, has recorded a video from the train station of Burgos to tell how, in 1984, was born of his affection for Spain, and also to ask for help to locate a woman that is called Lourdes Arnaiz.
That year made a travel from the Uk to Santiago de Compostela. To save time he took a train from Carcassonne to Burgos and revenues of your bike. When he got off did not appear the vehicle. Then went to a bar and met a canadian, whose girlfriend was Lourdes, which welcomed him in his house for five days without pay anything.

And is that after those five days finally appeared on the bike. The current ambassador is asked, “In how many countries would have accepted a stranger as well?“.
The current ambassador of the United Kingdom in Spain and Andorra has been leaning out The Window to tell the story and try to locate Lourdes. She told us that the only intention I had when writing the tweet was to thanknot to start an active search, by what has surprised him a lot, “the positive reaction and warm” that has had the message.
Remember that this was the first time I stepped on Spanish land, never imagining that years later would return as ambassador. “We are many brits that we have had positive experiences here in Spain, it is a country that is very hospitable” he tells us. Also has joked with that you will have to make a special request to the secret service to locate Lourdes.
In regards to your current experience as an ambassador, has told us that it is still wonderful: “I am delighted to be back here in Spain”. An experience that is being marked especially by the brexit, an issue that he does not believe that it affects the relations between the british and the Spanish: “the links between people and peoples go far beyond any legal framework”.
