    Our forum members tend not to be highly tolerant of surveys or polls 🤣 😂. Just try creating a poll here on the forum asking something simple like "Do you usually walk the Camino in boots, shoes, or sandals?" Instead of giving a simple answer, it...

    Sorry, I tried but couldn't answer the survey sensibly. Many of the factors given are completely irrelevant for a "pilgrimage destination". And I couldn't get my head around "perceived comfort" at all. I hope the sound advice from others who have...

    BarbaraW reacted to timr's post in the thread Gronze FORUM (not website) is closing! with Like Like.
    Yes indeed! And like most expressions of this sort, there is not unanimity on the derivation. "Estar al loro" does mean "to be to the parrot" - but it means somehow to keep up to date, or pay attention, or be with it! That section in Gronze is...
