Spain will hold an early general election on 29 November. The housing crisis has triggered this surprise snap vote, which is seen as a risky move by President Pedro Sánchez. In this week's broadcast, we analyse the possible outcomes with Professor Eva Anduiza, a political scientist and sociologist who specialises in democracy, elections and citizenship.

In addition, we travel to New York City to learn more about Little Spain, a historic neighbourhood which was once home to a thriving Spanish community. The area has recently been recognised with its own plaque on Manhattan's street map, which also pays tribute to La Nacional. Founded in 1868 to support newly arrived Spanish immigrants, this institution still exists today. Its executive director, Robert Sanfiz, tells us all about its history.
