Wwalkingagain reacted to Pafayac's post in the thread standard of living/quality of life in Spain with
Like.
In most European countries, social policy reduces the standard deviation of incomes. Poors are less poors than in US, and rich people are less rich. However do not rely upon only your first impression: being a countryman in Estremadura or a... -
Wwalkingagain reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread standard of living/quality of life in Spain with Like.
I lived in Barcelona for a year back in the 90’s, visit Spain often - on and off the tourist track - and have longstanding Spanish friends. I speak fairly good Spanish, although my Catalan is rusty. It’s a mixed bag. Lots of local and regional...

Wwalkingagain reacted to lovelyshell's post in the thread Two pilgrims injured in an attack by a cow with Like.
I did not know how many cows I would actually encounter on the Camino. I frankly never really thought of it. I’m from California, in the suburbs, no cows. I was walking along the path on the Frances with a Brit and I was just planning to walk...

Wwalkingagain reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Social anxiety on the camimo with
Love - Red heart.
In the past one of the main reasons for people to go on pilgrimage was to be healed, in body or mind. It still works. I met a man in Burgos at one of the sessions common in Donativos where pilgrims sit in a circle and talk about their reasons... -
WIf you’re interested in the company of other people I think you’ll find it. When you feel like being social, just smile and ask someone how their walk is going today and, they will typically be happy to chat at least a little bit. If the talk...

WTrue. But it is still a massively different situation to what many people experience in normal every day life at home. It's a certain kind of people who go on that kind of pilgrimage, and the pilgrimage situation makes many people more open than...

WI don’t have social anxiety (not a fan of crowds tho) and my goal is to be alone. That’s why I am going alone. I want to disconnect from my very social world back home. To be quiet. I will choose to eat alone, walk alone, just be. Some may think...
