Best ways to give traffic impulse to a new created forum

[xavibosch]

Dear all, I have my forum already configured with everything it needs, and I already posted a lot of comments in order to make it look with "content". Now I need to attract the first external users. Which do you think are the best ways, or sites to announce (and how to announce it), to achieve to get the first traffic? So I mean, how to create the "first spark".
My Forum is focused to Spain.

Any comment will be extremely welcomed. Thank you!

What if I send pm to users of groups in Facebook?
