...and a quite difficult one - if you just started learning spanish. However it is a VERY good way to learn to rrrrrrrrrrroll the R's :-D
I actually learned it by using only half the frase "El perro de San Roche no tiene rabo" - I didn't know the rest of it back then ;-)
@Hermanita... Ohhh.yeah... we have mosquitos and they are all over- Here in Barcelona we even have the feared Tiger-mosquito... and they spread. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_mosquito)
This summer is hot hot hot here in Spain... and this means more mosquitos and other unwanted insects...
Thanks for the advise and warnings... I am checking my stuff everyday.
However if 70% does not react to the bedbugsbites... then I guess the 30% are here on the Camino as it seems "everybody" here except from me are reacting to them...
Anyhow... I am checking sleepingbag... clothing... and so...
Due to VISIBLE bedbugs in MY bed in El Burgo Ranero... and due to bugspraying the bunks... and that 4-6 of us had bought protection from those little bloodsuckers... EVERYBODY in my dorm was bitten ... EXCEPT from me..... They do not like me!? - Amazing that there actually is saomeone out there...

...Just came from the cinema where I saw "Peregrinos" - in French of course and spanish subtitles... - since my french is not so good (Zero) and I had to read the subtitles in a language I am still learning, I might have "missed" a little... However I think it is a fun movie... It especially...
...If you are a vegetarian like me... (well... ok I do eat fish)... you can still survive the camino, though spanish restaurants tend to put meat in everything. I always remove the meat from the soups... (I dont mind if the stock is made on meat... - as long as I do not have to eat read meat)...
...I have been thinking that it is time to change the design on my Camino website (just) a little. If you have any great ideas on how to improve it, please let me know.
Just keep in mind, I am not the greatest webdesigner in the world. ;-)
