Thanks, Michael. The other language is Valenciano, an official language here,
but I often insult the locals (the few of them who care) by calling it just a
dialect of Catalan.
As for the trips, neither my wife not my daugher travelled that far. Lisbon is
1 1/2 hour’s flight (Ryanair, direct from Alicante), and my daughter’s trip to
Toledo involved 2 h 20 m on the train to Madrid and then about 1 hour by car.
So really no big deal.
Cheers,
Nathan
