Found a kilt shop...well...sort off.

[Valencian Kilted]

...mmmm,... somebody asked about my kilted experiences here?, well,... one was just at coming back from Glasgow las easter, and the others have been mainly going for lunch at some english friends houses (with my Celtics F.C. T-shirt as well, of course, although I'm a Valencia C.F. supporter), and, as you can see,... quite intimally! ,...

Spain is a quite difficult place to wear a kilt. Even in USA, Australia, etc,... they have a history and traditions related with or derivated from the British Isles culture, and, of course, from Scotland, Ireland, etc,... but that's not the case for Spain. I'll just put you an example. Over thirty years ago one scot was put in jail for a couple of days just by wearing his kilt in public on a train. Here you can always think about the legend of the existance of any underclothes, but the fact was that. I know that things have changed, but still today, in the deep soul of every spanish, "SPAIN IS SPAIN,... AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IS OUTSIDE!" This means that we are happy to live here, and that we are proud of our culture, traditions, history, etc,... so, anything coming from outside can be accepted just after being massively accepted, not before. I'll try to be one of those advanced ones!.

Another difficult circumstance for me is my job. I spend most of my days outside home working as a salesman all through spain, so I must follow some usual and stereotype dressing rules (Tie and suit) to be accepted by my customers! You can't consider going to visit Sony, Siemens or Magnetti Marelli dressed out of their requeriments! :-(

Little by little!!!

Tono...you're the man!

I'll visit southern Spain in the spring...maybe we can meet...kilted of course :mrgreen:

[Valencian Kilted]

Haha man, if spring means Easter we can better meet in Glasgow, bcos I'm going there again next year,... kilted, of course! if not,... I'll try to find the time, because I'm always outside home, and it can be really caotic to match the agenda! It would be a pity if we miss the chance of sharing impressions!
... kilted of course!. Ah, are u going to bring that wanderful creation of human nature that is your woman? it would be also great to know such a kind of person (in danger of extintion it seems!)

Well, tell me ur plans, and I'll try to make my trips check with that!

Saludos a La Haya!

Nuevo Portil...March 21th-28th.

Of course Michelle will be there also

We'll visit the Brittish Open golf championship end of July...2 weeks Scotland afterwards...Michelle will probably confiscate my credit cards before I can enter a kilt shop there :-(

[Valencian Kilted]

Hi Robin, good to know that u're coming to Spain, I'll try to addapt my visits area to meet you over there,... by the way,... WHERE IS NUEVO PORTIL?

With such name I can imagine that it's in Andalucía, at the south coast, and surely around or near Marbella (full of golf areas there),... anyway, just confirm it to me!

Glasgow in July?... mmm,... I'm considering to change my trip to Glasgow from Easter to summer because I couldn't find a perfect combination for April. The Ryanair flights to Prestwick from Murcia are full, and from Alicante it's much more expensive than what I found last easter!. I flighted and came back from Murcia to Glasgow for 68 euros (€), now, my best price found is...210!

F..ck,... I'll try to get it for August if I can't avoid it. August is my holidays month!

Well, seeya all!

[Valencian Kilted]

... u'll love the area and the people over there, great beaches, great dark-eyed women, lovely people and wanderful food. I'll try to make a change in my routes, but it's too soon to say, let's see!

Thanks for the aclaration!

Salud!
