  Zarzuela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zarzuela (IPA /θar'θwe'la/ in Spain, /sar'swe'la/ in the New World) is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating dances.
Often, the success of zarzuelas came about because the public learned the songs from the performances, and they entered the oral culture, as happened with the popular cuplés, literally "couplets", a style of song that exists in Spain to this day, although it is now seen as a bit archaic.
Zarzuela is also the name of a Spanish dish made of diverse sorts of seafood and fish, named after the opera genre, due to the mixture of characters.

 Palacio de la Zarzuela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Palacio de la Zarzuela is a residence of the King of Spain.
Although the official residence is the Palacio Real in Madrid, this small palace is where the King and Queen as well as the Crown Prince Felipe de Borbon actually reside.
"Zarzuela" is thought to be derived from "zarzas" meaning brambles, due to its function as a hunting lodge meaning that it is situated amongst the brambles of the King's Hunting Grounds.

 UNIDAD CUBANA H. M. Juan Carlos
Las peticiones que en ese sentido ya han sido hechas por los jefes de estado de Iberoamérica, oficial y colectivamente en Viña del Mar, por la Comunidad Europea, por el primer Ministro de Canadá y por su Santidad Juan Pablo II han sido infructuosas.
Las heridas del pasado que dejara la colonización española se habían logrado sanar en gran parte debido a la contribución de la numerosa inmigración española, mayormente gallega y asturiana, que llegó a Cuba durante los primeros años de la república.
Lamentablemente fueron gobernantes de turno españoles quienes se burlaron cruelmente de sus compatriotas prestándose a una simulación aceptando del gobierno de Cuba, como compensación, la oferta de caramelos y piezas de cuarto de baño, que ni siquiera les entregaron a los confiscados.
