    Re: Galego and Spanish on the Camino Frances

    Galego spoken ( not normative) has a lot of Spanish words but surprisingly has a high uniformity across Galicia. For example people say " oito" ( eight) and "oitocentos" ( eighthundred) but also say Spanish " ochenta" ( eighty) when obviously must be " oitenta". And this happens everywhere in...

    Sorry David. This is a really winter week in Galicia with cold rain. My opinion is you are right in your decision.

    Pork in Spain

    I didn' t know those " refranes". about galgos. On the first one you include the interpretation that is on internet, but for me the thing is the galgo is old. It is still fast but not too agile and therefore it is easier for it to chase a hare that runs straight than a rabbit. So my...

    Pork in Spain

    Yes they live in the wild and are a problem for the crops in some parts of Spain. You can see them even in big parks in Madrid. There are more rabbits than hares.

    Re: Galego and Spanish on the Camino Frances

    I am Galego speaker and always use this language when walking Caminos in Galicia but this situation is rather unusual because Galician pilgrims are mostly from cities and use Spanish.

    The "bellota" Iberico pork requires 1,5 Ha per pork to eat acorns.

    Finished the Camino? Make This at Home

    I always leave the fried potatoes and onions together with the eggs for three minutes in the bowl before returning to the pan.

    Pork in Spain

    Only can be outside local breeds like i Iberico and Porco Celta. White porks like Duroc and Large White have a skin that burns with Spanish sun.

    Pork in Spain

    In Spain only some Iberico eat acorns ( holm oaks) in its phase of " montanera" and it is very expensive ( bellota). Also, there are iberico that never eat acorns ( cebo) that is much cheaper.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    When I visited Morroco and saw men in terrazas drinking tea ( no alcohol). I thought: here the only purpose of men to meet is pure sociability.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    Melide and Arzua are examples of " cabezas de comarca in Spain" heads of region where supers, bars, restaurants and a few businesses are located to give services to the villages around. So, they are " vibrant" in the shopping period, the rest of the time are quiet. Lugo is a capital of province...

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    It is not a dirty word for more or less half of the population. People are now really divided on this issue in Spain.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    What I like the most about Spain ( my country) is how easy it is eating healthy food (vegetables and fish) with menu del dia. Recently I visited Berlin and it was really different. I don' t mean it was bad food but not mine.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    In Spain GNP per capita varies from €22.000 ( Extremadura) to € 36.000 ( Country Basque). Galicia € 26.000. Not bad. Most countries in East Europe have less and neighbour Morroco €3500.

    The king’s breadmaker

    Bread is much better in Galicia than in Castilla y León where the wheat production is hundred times more. A mistery.

    Cruceiro in Miami

    On this thread I learnt that the "family" of things in English are feminine. Also, there is another thread where the " grandmother" of a tree is mentioned. In Spanish ( and galego) depends on the gender of the word.

    Language questions

    Yes you' re right. " coja su ticket" is the way we say it. " tome su ticket" is the way in Latinoamerica. There are many inmigrants from this area in Madrid, so maybe " tome su ticket" is for them.

    Language questions

    When you pay in an automatic machine in the super Alcampo you can hear after two locutions " coja su ticket" and " tome su ticket". The second redundant locution I think must be for Latinamerican customers.
