What a mess in Sevilla

Hope the issue is settled by the time people get to Sevilla for the Vdlp!

Point well taken, Frances. No doubt the politicians have a good argument that budget cuts are essential if Spain is ever going to get back to economic stability. But the outrage is fueled by the inability of the governments to distribute this suffering fairly and to always stick it to those at the bottom of the pay scale. In light of the recent scandals about all the higher echelons of the ruling Partido Popular receiving illegal "payments" for years and years, http://www.nbcnews.com/id/50676675/ns/b ... d_economy/
the hypocrisy is pretty stark.

Never a dull moment in Spanish politics, and apparently no end in sight to the human tragedy.

All the more reason for us to go and spend our money in family run places. (don't mean to veer off into a political rant here, so I'm bringing it back to the Camino )

Buen camino, Laurie
