  There seems to be broad agreement on that. The issue is that in some bars, the person serving may just pluck a figure from this air to charge you, when there is in actually a price list that should be displayed by law, and you should not be...

  The bears in Spain are Eurasian brown bears (Ursus arctos arctos) - the same species as the North American grizzly though with characteristics different enough for them to be classified as a separate subspecies from their horribilis western cousins.

  A ‘locals’ discount is not that unusual in UK in the smaller places. I have no problem with it either here or abroad.

  If a local gets a discount on the price on the price list, thats fine by me, so long as I do not pay more than is on the price list. One is a discount, the other is dishonest.

  Sure, this happens sometimes. But why get hot under the collar when a local gets a discount? It's not cheating, it's preferential treatment because you're perceived as the tourist and he's not. You'll be much happier when you let it go.

  Buen camino on the Invierno, BP. I totally get it that you just want to walk. (No matter what we might think of that.... 😪) And well done on these last two. It's been such a joy to follow along. Gracias.

  No, I won't do a new thread, since it's my vacation! ;) No photos, no writing, using the mobile as little as possible... Sorry! But in case of extraordinary events I will let you know! :cool:

  Oh, no, BP, does this mean you’re not going to let us follow along on the Invierno? How will we know if the teenagers come to torment you in Quiroga???

  Perhaps the cathedral should attach a streaming message banner from the sponsor whenever the botafumeiro is being paid for privately....
