Back from Barcelona, a city I have traveled in the AVE for the first time, and still amazed by the speed of this train. Once ashore, the contrast of the slow pace of our recovery from the crisis but also how slowly is the spanish progress towards some goals which have already reached long ago in other European countries. Reconciling family and work, wages, civics, politics, education… There are so many stops where it does not stop our country that amazes me that we continue moving. The question is in which direction?
