Fran:

I don't know about IRE/NICAR, but ESRI has a rather rich offering of online
mapping tutorials and podcasts at http://www.esri.com/index.html and
http://campus.esri.com/ The first link is the homepage; just do a search
with "online tutorial." Not much in Spanish, but if you look up ESRI's
distributor in Spain, it might have some offerings and/or classes in your
vicinity. And I'm pretty sure some of the universities in Spain have campus
site licenses, which means they, too, would have classes.

Also, for a more traditional quantitative approach, take a look at the
superb work being done by Rosental Alves and Sandra Crucianelli (the Knight
Center for Journalism in the
Americas<http://knightcenter.utexas.edu/distancelearning.php>)
in Spanish and Portuguese. Sandra's courses are some of the best online
presentations I've seen.

Saludos,
Tom
