Nevado has it right

No matter how many times I've been to Spain - there is always more to do - if not for the first time, then the second or third!

So many things to do, and I try to do at least one new thing while i´m here visiting family.

The biggies: WAlking the Camino de Santiago and arriving at the cathedral on 25th july (dia de Santiago), it´s also my birthday!!

Going to the Baleares and Galicia too

Going to San Fermines! I can finally check this one off this year!!!! It was incredible!

Eating angulas, can´t bring myself to try them. >I always try to justify the fact that they are just too expensive!

I like this thread

-I have yet to visit Asturias. I wanted so badly to go there when I was living in Spain, and never got to. If nothing else, to see what Melendi sings about and what my Asturiano ex-boyfriend always showed me pictures of.

-I have yet to stay out the ENTIRE night at the discos. The latest I ever made it before going home to bed was 4 am.

Live there? Well maybe spend a few months at least.

Walk the Camino; explore northern Spain more than I have in recent years; - figure out how to spend six months or more a year in either Madrid, Sevilla, Vallencia or Cadiz and make a living and then, as Nevado says - retirein Spain!

To see Picasso's Guernica. Really! I cannot tell you how many times I have travelled in Spain (even lived in Madrid several times). Yet I still have not seen the original masterpiece. This past March I decided to change this fact. I took my Niece to Spain for her first visit. On our last day in Madrid, I decided to dedicate our time at the Museo de Arte Reina Sofia. We walked there from our hotel on Gran Via only to find out it was CLOSED ON TUESDAYS! Que tonta soy. :o Oh well, I guess I will have to return yet again.....hopefully in 2007. Que lastima, eh?

I've never been on a tapas crawl or kissed a Spanish boy.

Madridman, you ain't missing nothing by not going to the cinema. Dubbing, assigned seating, small screens...nobody does movies like the u.s. (and portugal, actually).

you don't know what you're missing!! (for both of them )

I have yet to buy property in spain, and have not yet been to Barcelona, I still have not run with the bulls. I better get moving....

I would love to visit all the beaches in the 1998 film El Abuelo (The Grandfather, has English subtitles.(http://imdb.com/title/tt0176415/).

It was shot on the Asturian Atlantic coast. Run, don't walk, to see rent this enchanting DVD and just live with the irritation that the opening scenes' audio do not match the actors' speaking mouths--it eventually clears up around the 4th scene. Some of the actors in the film are related in real life, and most of them have acted in Shakespearean and classical Spanish theatre. You are given a treat to see two of the best: Fernando Fernan Gomez and the late Rafael Alonso together.

Also, if you haven't seen it, rent The Butterfly (La Lengua de las Mariposas http://imdb.com/title/tt0188030/) which also stars the incredible Fernando Fernan Gomez and is the best film about the Franco era I've yet to see.

As for another of my "yets", I would like to drive through all of Galicia.

Bon any (Catalan) to all,
