This is suitable for level <strong>A2<\/strong> Spanish students, though it contains some <strong>B1<\/strong> grammar points.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p>Joan Manuel Serrat is a well-regarded Spanish singer-songwriter. He released <i>Mediterr\u00e1neo<\/i> in 1971 and it is considered one of the most important songs of 20th-century Spain. Born in 1943 in Barcelona, Serrat began his musical career early with songs mostly sung in Catalan. Serrat has never been shy of controversy, in particular regarding his use of the Catalan language; notably he refused to represent Spain in the 1968 Eurovision song contest unless he was allowed to sing in Catalan, which in Franco&#8217;s Spain was never going to be allowed.<br \/>\nThe version of <i>Mediterr\u00e1neo<\/i> in the video below is sung with Spanish actress and singer Ana Bel\u00e9n. They have collaborated many times over the years and if you are a regular follower of our bilingual readers you will remember her from the one we prepared based on <a href=\"\/learn\/reading\/la-casa-de-bernarda-alba\">La Casa de Bernarda Alba<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Exercise: Mediterr\u00e1neo<\/h3>\n<p>Watch the video, then read the transcript.<\/p>\n<p>Click any phrase for the translation and links to related grammar lessons which you can add to your <a href=\"\/faq\/notebooks\/\">Kwiziq notebook<\/a> to practise later.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ana Bel\u00e9n y Joan Manuel Serrat - Mediterr\u00e1neo - In\u00e9dito 1990 TVE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ED-IOVV0oc4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"kwiziq-reader\">\n                <div class=\"kwiziq-reader-header\">\n                    <div class=\"kwiziq-reader__header-top\">\n                        <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"kwiziq-reader__logo\" src=\"\/img\/svg\/generic\/kwiziq-interactive-reader-logo.svg\" alt=\"kwiziq interactive reader logo\" title=\"Kwiziq Interactive Reader\"> -->\n                        <div class=\"kwiziq-reader__logo\"><\/div>\n                        <ul class=\"kwiziq-reader__header-links\">\n                            <li class=\"kwiziq-reader__header-links-item\"><span class=\"btn btn-link\"  data-tooltip=\"<strong>Kwiziq interactive readers<\/strong> are great way to practice your reading skills without getting lost. <strong>Click on any phrase for the English translation and related  grammar lessons<\/strong>, that you can study now or add to your Notebook.\" data-tooltip-theme=\"tooltipster-generic\"  data-tooltip-interactive=\"true\">What's this?<\/span><\/li>\n                            <!-- <li class=\"kwiziq-reader__header-links-item\">More <a href=\"%s\">%s reading practice<\/a><\/li> -->\n                        <\/ul> \n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"text-panel text-panel--tip text-panel--tip-basic-icon\">\n                        <p>Click any word in the text to see its translation and related grammar lessons.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"kwiziq-reader-body\"><div id=\"event-dispatcher\"><\/div> <!--  an ugly hack just to make dispatching \"global\" events in jQuery easy -->\n<div class=\"css-hidden\" id=\"speech-container\"><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"KwiziqReader\" class=\"\">\n    <!-- new reader entry point -->\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"flash-message\">\n    <div id=\"flash-message-action\"><\/div>\n    <div id=\"flash-message-progress\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"watchdog-footer\" class=\"\">\n\t<!--  VERSION:     <div class=\"ui-grid-b\">\n        <div class=\"ui-block-a\">\n            Backend layer signals\n            <ul id=\"layer-backend\">\n\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"ui-block-b\">\n            User layer signals\n            <ul  id=\"layer-user\" >\n\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"ui-block-c\">\n            Timing signals\n            <ul  id=\"layer-timer\" >\n\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> -->\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ todo :: move those templates out of here\n\t\t\t\t\t\tvar readerPopoverTemplate = '<div class=\"reader-popover bottom\"><div class=\"reader-popover-container\"><div class=\"arrow arrow-up\"><\/div><div class=\"arrow arrow-down\"><\/div><div class=\"reader-popover-close\">&times;<\/div><h3 class=\"reader-popover-title\"><\/h3><button class=\"listen btn btn--primary\">Listen<\/button><div class=\"reader-popover-content\"><h4 class=\"reader-popover-content-title\">Related grammar lessons:<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tfunction ReaderPopupInit(config , title , links , hasAudio) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis.find(\".reader-popover-title\").text(title);\n                            var readerPopoverContent = this.find(\".reader-popover-content\");\n                            var level = 0;\n                            \n                            if(links) {\n                                readerPopoverContent.show().find(\"a\").remove();\n                                \n                                for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {\n                                    var id = links[i].id;\n\n                                    var bookmarked = (Kwiziq.bookmarkData ?
