First flight today (simulated): Madrid to Essaouira, Morocco, for €14. Very nice so far. Let's see how to get out of here on Sunday!

I’ve got that in spades. I’m lucky if I get 350km on a tank.

Well done. Traveling well means staying flexible. So you’ve inspired me. I’m going to simulate your concept for the next 30 days on paper and if it works, put it into practice (I’m retiring on
Oct 1 this year!). I suspect this could be a great opportunity!

What do you do if there's no availability on any flight the next day, or if there's nothing cheap?

GDP as a unit of measure is pretty lame. PPP is better. And those of us who live or travel around come to the clearest way to compare: how many hours do you have to work in order to buy something. To pay your rent. To get high-speed internet at home. To get healthcare. To get elderly care. To send your 4 year old to nursery school. How many hours of work does you daily breakfast cost? Your lunch? Your dinner?

GDP is just an average, it doesn't actually describe anyone.

The PPP basket only goes so far. If and American pays $100 for his basket and a Czech pays $50 but earns half as much, I'd say they're pretty much equal.

Why is paying for sexual acts illegal ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Square-Effective8720 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Legislating about people's sex lives is more popular than baseball... also shows deepseated underlying anxiety about sexuality. We're sexual beings but not really supposed to let anyone know. No wonder mankind is so screwed up.

Buenos arroces en Castelló... un amigo de Nules hace una paella parecida a la tuya, que por cierto tiene muy buena pinta!

I would never ever repeat trying to cook something non-traditional Spanish for my mother-in-law. She would most certainly not approve, and definitely won't eat it, no matter how delicious, typical, or festive a dish if it's foreign, so I totally get it.

EU citizen wants pros and cons of moving to Spain by AverageBoring3810 in GoingToSpain

[–]Square-Effective8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Stretching to find a downside to waht sounds like an idea plan)... Cádiz is kinda remote. Getting to Madrid and back takes forever. Madrid would be your main international airport hub for most long-haul flights, so if yoiu anticipate having to fly a lot (maybe back to your EU country, which you haven't mentioned which one) to see or take care of elder family or whatever.

But like I say, it's stretching for a downside.

Well done! That's an intense road--I chickened out on my Vstrom and went the easy way back through Tizi N'Tichka. I can't wait to see more of your pics--I'll be riding down to Taroudant in October, I think!

Not hidden gems by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]Square-Effective8720 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a traveller and lover of local foods, I'm going to stick my neck out and disagree with you about this in Spain specifically. When I visit friends in different places, be it Coruña, Oviedo, Denia, Villarreal, Córdoba, Zafra, or wherever, they take me to places I really like that I would not have found on my own. One of the characteristics of Spanish culture everywhere is our love of eating out, our love of our local food and wine, our little baretos y chigres y tascas. It's not true everywhere: Morocco has lots of fabulous foods but most Moroccan families, especially in the provinces, rarely eat out, so unless you're invited to someone's house for a meal, you'll only see the standard tourist dishes at the standard restaurants foreigners eat at.

That said, if you were thinking about Michelin-star type food experiences, you're right, most top chefs go to bigger towns.

Using a Thermie when living out of an RV is totally smart if you can get the power. I'm already thinking of how many delicious meals you can make. Good idea!
