    Spanish language on Caminos outside of Spain

    I agree. Giving another example, in Grandas de Salime ( Primitivo) the original language is Galego despite being In Asturias. People on this area think that they speak this way because they are close to Galicia but that's not true. They speak that way because the pre-Roman people were the...

    Spanish language on Caminos outside of Spain

    I wouldn' t say Spanish influence. I'd say Iberian influence. This is an Iberian area different to Galo areas in France.

    Spanish language on Caminos outside of Spain

    In my opinion, in the case of Aosta ( Italy) they don' t speak an Italian dialect that borrows words from French, they speak a French dialect.

    Distance traveled by boat from foz de minho to Spain

    Foz in Portuguese ( and Galego) is the whole place where a river flows into the sea, in this case the river Minho/ Miño. So the specific point of the Foz in Portugal should be stated too because the Foz is quite big.

    Tres Cantos in this case means Three Stones A "canto rodado" is a rolling stone in the river. Ciguñuela I think comes from "cigueñela" that is a bird similar to stork but smaller.

    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.

    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.
