Meet Spain’s “blog Granny”

The Internet has made a celebrity out of a 95 year old Spanish grandmother who recently started to blog.  The blog was a birthday gift from her grandson (who the woman claims is “stingy”, and I’d have to agree).  Since starting to write, the blogger, Maria Amelia Lopez, has been interviewed on radio and TV, and is a curiosity because of the relatively low numbers of older people who blog.  The blog is especially popular with young people who go to Maria for advice, although it’s a great place for history buffs as well.  Many of Maria’s childhood stories are about growing up in the Spanish Civil war, and under the regime of General Franco.

If you’d like to visit Maria Amelia Lopez’ blog, it can be found at A mis 95 años.  Sadly, I don’t read Spanish, and am envious of those who can enjoy it.
