On this episode we explore the opening theme song of David el Gnomo, an animated television series that was hugely popular in Spain during the mid-1980’s.

Throughout the episode we learn about David’s domestic life and the wider gnome world. Did you know that gnomes live for several centuries, and that Spaniards – both of the gnome and human variety – don’t mind aging? We will also find out the difference between saber and conocer, our two verbs for to know; and how to be careful and pay close attention in Spanish, among many other things.

Finally, we will hear one of the earliest instances of rapping in Spanish music. Straight outta David!
