FIFTEEN YEARS ago today I was living in sleepysville Extremadura and Rafa Nadal was the new national hero.
The Spaniard won his second French Open in 2006 and he’s taken home The Musketeers’ Trophy 11 more times since.
Almost as impressive as Nadal’s serving has been the improvement in the nation’s driving. An eye-watering 4,101 lives were lost on Spanish roads in 2006, compared to 870 last year.
