Man, something about Spain is truly magical. For you I imagine it’s different since you grew up there (I get it, I’m from Alaska and it’s nice but it’s not magical like tourists see it), but for me, I remember reading Homage to Catalonia as a kid and thinking “I have to go to Spain one day” then later in life when I went, I backpacked through El País Vasco (and the rest of northern Spain) and just fell in love with that country.
If I can get a remote job, my wife and I are strongly considering how we could move there. Spain is the most fascinating place I’ve ever been and the place just… feels right? I don’t know how to describe it. It’s the only place I’ve ever felt like I fit in. Eskerrik Asko / Gracias for taking me back to a series of Camino sense memories.
Funny how the world works, I must have spent most of my middle school doing book reports on the Inuit and other Native american and First Nation tribes up north. We had to read Island of the Blue Dolphins in 5th grade and I had a big "Eskimo" phase. (I know the name is no longer in use much, but it shows my age)
Well I have been out of Spain for over a decade, so now when I go back I feel a bit like a tourist and I think it gets lovelier every year. If you ever make it back, either through work or for another trip I am sure you will have a brilliant time once again.
