Are you saying there's no Spanish city called 'the 30's' or the '4th decade'? :)

Yes, I meant it to be the answer to Q2, which brock has also answered beautifully.

I'll pay more attention next time, but I've been watching the Tour de France most nights.....zzzzzzzzz....

Having said that, the answer to Q 6 (Six) would have to be the Pyrenees - there's only 1 other range of any size in Spain (Peaks of Europe, nice place to stay) and it ain't that one.
