@MisterFoxGuy A German aristocrat living in Spain (from the Hohenlohe family) says that he started writing the song in Spain in a particular hotel, but whether this is true or not is difficult to say. As we say in Spain: "del dicho al hecho, hay un trecho" (easier said than done).
@MisterFoxGuy It's funny, I hear the song “Heroes” every weekend when I listen to Real Madrid matches on the radio. They use the song to promote the match, with some players from both teams cheering people to listen to them. Is it true the song was written when Bowie was in Spain? (a question I will throw out a question to the air). I have read something about it, but I can't confirm it.
