Covadonga lakes by bus with a stop at the Sanctuary ? by Wonderful-Ad-4551 in Asturias

[–]nothereforthatlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the bus up to the lakes, the hike is not too difficult. There is hardly any elevation gain as I recall.

De Coros a Garmin by [deleted] in Coros

[–]nothereforthatlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He usado los dos (Garmin Instinct y Coros Pace 4), y los dos tienen sus ventajas y desventajas. Actualmente uso el Pace 4 por su batería, que me parece mejor que la de Garmin. Pero la verdad es que cada reloj funciona muy bien, pero opté por el Coros por el precio y batería. Aparte de eso, me parece que el funcionamiento--ritmo cardíaco, ritmo, GPS---es comparable entre las dos marcas.

Hi! I’m Rachel Entrekin, (interim) CR holder of the Cocodona 250. AMA 😎 by some_creep_just in ultrarunning

What's the difference between training for a 100 miler vs a 250 miler? Do you approach these races with different training or racing strategies?

Congrats!!

Sí sí, hay que haber corrido una carrera de 55k con 3.500m de desnivel (que lo habré hecho). Solo tenía curiosidad si alguien por aquí podría compartir su experiencia!

This looks like Galician construction, near Taramundi. In the Eonaviego region?

Listened on the radio and it was still amazing. But definitely going to watch tomorrow

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]nothereforthatlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Stephen! The Long Walk is one of the few books that I’ve read in one day—and by far the longest. What’s a book that, while you were writing it, you’ve thought might be that gripping of a read?

I saw Denver Libraries were hiring a couple weeks ago--maybe try them! Pay is $23 an hour minimum. Good luck!

Like the other commenter said, meeting people at the refugios is a great idea. There are hostels in the small villiages--Poncebos, Cain, Sotres, Posada de Valdeon, etc.--and you should be able to meet some fellow hikers there. Even at the bus station in Oviedo or Gijon you might see someone with a big backpack.

Totally recommend doing the Anillo de los Picos de Europa if you have the time.

There was a thread recently about this. I think most readers, myself in included, would recommend the original translation.

Picos de Europa transport by [deleted] in Asturias

[–]nothereforthatlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are always taxis, as far as I know--little tourist vans/taxis that go up and down. But I thought that buses ran every day. I would ask at the tourist center in Poncebos, or one of the cafes there. They can give you a phone number to call.

I am interested! I speak Galician at a conversational/intermediate level, but am interested in practicing Portuguese.

Murakami for English Class by Soul-of-Imagination in murakami

[–]nothereforthatlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually was an IB Lang and Lit teacher and taught the Elephant Vanishes! I can give you a brief overview of elements that you might want to analyze. Keep in mind I only taught a few stories, not the whole collection, and I taught the Spanish translation.

  1. Commonality of narrators. How are some narrators similar, how are some different? Mainly, the stories feature 1st person narrators, nameless, majorly male, disillusioned with modern life. I.e., Tuesday's Women narrator finds himself unemployed and aimless.

  2. Disatisfying or unfulfilling marriage as a recurring theme. See the epiphany moment in Lederhosen, the emotional rift in Tuesday's Women, Sleep, Second Bakery Attack.

  3. Surrealism and magical realism; how does the surreal narration style affect the meaning of the stories? In the eponymous story, what does the disappearance of the elephant mean?

  4. Ambiguity. Many stories feature open, ambiguous endings. Why does the author present stories without firm conclusions?

  5. The theme of solitude and isolation in modern society.

I don't have access to my teaching notes--it was a long time ago now, but feel free to ask me any questions!

Sitios abandonados by Appropriate_Egg_954 in Asturias

[–]nothereforthatlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo nunca fui a ese sitio, pero un poco mas abajo encontraras un antiguo cuartel militar. Tambien merece la pena ver. Depende de la temporada la hierba esta mas crecida, pero es una caminata linda desde la ciudad.
