    I completely agree with what @ShoshTrvls says here: I can speak Spanish well enough to call and make a reservation, but it's often difficult to understand the other party without the benefit of body language. I think that WhatsApp is...

    For the life of me, I don't know why you have to be so judgmental. I grew up in somthing of a bilingual house where I spoke mostly Spanish until I started going to school. I do know the basics. But it isn't a "small effort" to learn enough of a...

    I agree completely, 100%, absolutely. I am verging on what cannot be written about on here, but - a pilgrimage is a process, an internal/external process, it isn't something that can be Googled to know the answer, or be done in a hiking holiday...

    tarredon reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Has the Camino lost its way? with Like Like.
    People in general, are very sensitive and they think they are being personally criticized if they don't fit the "view" expressed. We see it here on the forum which is why the rule about not saying who is a tourist and who is a pilgrim was made...

    I can't help feeling that people have become very thin-skinned and touchy recently. All too ready to yell some variant of the J-word whenever an alternative opinion is voiced. If you have given serious thought to your own choices and are...
