Dear readers,

A dark chapter of Spain's recent history was closed this week, as Basque terrorist organization ETA announced it was officially disbanding after decades of a violent campaign that left more than 800 victims dead.

Meanwhile, the fallout from the Running of the Bulls rape trial continued, prompting debate both inside and outside Spain on the issue of sexual abuse.

And finally, our most-read article this week was a Spanish class from Antonio Banderas, who did his best to explain some of the more unusual slang expressions in a hilarious video.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition, thanks for reading.
