On my street, Carrer Sardenya, in Barcelona, many tourists pass by, some down the street to the Sagrada Família, others going up to Park Güell. Who was to say, Gaudí!
Unfortunately, tourists no longer ask for directions or get confused on the sidewalk and the polyglots of the neighborhood have lost social prestige because they master English, French and some greetings in Japanese without further consequences.
This country owes a lot to tourism and if today it is a homologable European democracy - homologable to what? - it is due to its neighbors, given that if the Iberian Peninsula were the Korean Peninsula, we would have the Franco dynasty in Madrid, like the Kim Il- sung, Kim Jong-il and the chubby Kim Jong-un at the 53rd parallel.
We must thank the tourists for their contribution to the sexual development of Spain and the emancipation of indigenous women, who allowed themselves to be freed, so it would be fair to award the tourists the Saint George's Cross - it does not come from a !–, with special mention to a German lady who left her husband as a pawn in a hostel on the Costa Daurada from where she left without paying for the stay.
As a thank you, the Spanish were always very solicitous with the tourists, so they achieved a certain international prestige as lovers, although I think that more for going to all of them, not giving a ball away and go up to finish all the corners than because of the quality of his game and the touch of the ball.
What has become of those Gigis, the very polyamorous? Today's young people have everything very easy - apart from a job for life - and they see the tourists pass by as if they were nothing, oblivious to the rights and obligations of our citizens, which included leaving pleasant memories and encouraging them to return next summer, source of foreign exchange.
If it were for young people, my street would not have sweaty tourists, with their bottles of water and the determined pace, mobile in hand, self-sufficient in terms of directions. Today, Gigi is going to a residence without gender parity and the women of northern Europe, the state of Illinois and Lower Saxony are delighted by this Gaudí, a single man without commitment.
