Another question, is it ok in Spain to walk around in nature, say we find a nice hill, is it ok to climb it?

It is. Just don't cross into private areas - which for the most part are usually well marked (at least around here). And of course, observe the usual cautions - but I'm sure you already do that.

There's a decent hiking culture around here, so I'm pretty sure you can jump on wikiloc and find plenty of trails in the area you end up visiting.

It is very refreshing to come across some positive stuff for a change: apparently in a Hungarian city it's become popular volunteering for university students to cuddle and take care of babies abandoned in hospital after birth. They cuddle, change nappies etc, things the nurses barely have time. The idea is to not let these poor newborns start life with the trauma of just lying there without care and affection.

Are abandoned babies a common problem in Hungary?

Would gel with orban sorts.. Life is ultra important until it is actually real then they don't care.

So, we found a camping that has rented this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peñafiel_Castle for the event.

Hilariously expensive, 1000€ for two nights . But we get some snacks on the castle so that's okay I guess.

Not mine. But I suspect an ancestor would have made it.

I don't know how it compares to other countries. In general number of births have been plummeting for years. Orban is celebrated by the international far-right for being "family friendly" where in reality he has created a country where fewer and fewer people want to have children in.

You know, the Federalist papers are kinda whack.

I'm tired.
I had a look on bs and saw somebody posting about how terrible it is that Gazza is being starved to death whilst the world ignores this injustice.
Poor Gazza....
Wait, what?
Ah.
Gaza.
OK.

I don't think any European country is showing a birthrate that is sustainable, considering pricks like me are getting old and might want to retire at say, 89 or 90 and live the life of Riley for two months before we say our farewells.

Catholic Italy was leading the charge of not letting men have their creampie for a good while, now I think all Scandinavian countries are up there challenging for the OECD Money Shot Prize.

Dieing just after retirement is just as the actuaries of old intended before modern medicine messed with the math

[Norgy]

I hope at 90 I have the energy to hit an actuary in the ballbag.

I should ask grumbler for some tips. And how life really was under Sulla.

Read a curious thing the other day.
Most journalists today are either older guys still hanging on or young women.
I can't help but wonder if this is one of those cases where traditional sexism works out for women- it being far more acceptable for a woman to be in a crap paying passion job with a partner earning decent money.
