🚶‍♀️ World Sauntering Day

C’è chi corre, chi cammina a passo svelto e chi, almeno per un giorno, decide di rallentare davvero.

Il 19 giugno torna la World Sauntering Day, la Giornata Mondiale del Passeggio Lento, un invito a riscoprire il piacere di passeggiare senza fretta, osservando ciò che spesso sfugge quando siamo sempre di corsa.

Nel 2026 il messaggio è ancora più attuale

Pur non esistendo un tema ufficiale per il 2026, la ricorrenza continua a promuovere uno

stile di vita più consapevole:

  • rallentare,
  • staccarsi dagli schermi,
  • respirare profondamente e
  • concedersi una passeggiata senza una meta precisa.

Un’idea nata nel 1979 grazie a W.T. Rabe, che volle creare questa giornata come simpatica risposta alla crescente moda del jogging, ricordando che ogni tanto è bello anche… non avere fretta.

Passeggiare fa bene… anche alla fantasia

Le ricerche continuano a confermare che camminare lentamente aiuta a ridurre lo stress, stimola la creatività e migliora l’umore. Non serve percorrere chilometri: bastano pochi minuti in un parco, sul lungomare, in un bosco o semplicemente tra le vie del proprio quartiere per accorgersi di dettagli che normalmente passano inosservati.

Come festeggiare?

  • lasciate il telefono in tasca per qualche minuto;
  • scegliete un percorso senza una destinazione precisa;
  • fermatevi ad ascoltare i suoni della natura o della città;
  • osservate vetrine, fiori, alberi e persone con occhi curiosi;
  • concludete la passeggiata con un buon caffè o un gelato.

In fondo, la World Sauntering Day ci ricorda una piccola verità: non sempre bisogna arrivare per primi. A volte il viaggio più bello è proprio quello fatto con calma, gustandosi ogni singolo passo.

Buona passeggiata lenta a tutti… e ricordate: oggi la fretta può tranquillamente aspettare!

No. 44 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: COCTELERÍA

This 𝗲𝗿í𝗮 appeared on the sign along with "gintoniquería" in No. 43, but to keep my numbering scheme in order, "coctelería" gets its own post. Of course, a "coctelería" is a cocktail bar and has the Spanish word "coctel" (also "cóctel") as its root, borrowed from English.

No. 43 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: GINTONIQUERÍA

Not a real Spanish word according to the Real Academia Española, but that doesn't stop a bar specializing in gin and tonic drinks from branding themselves as a gintoniquería! The alternative term "gintonería" is also apparently used, but I haven't spotted one of those yet in the wild. This is a good example of the adaptability of the 𝗲𝗿í𝗮 suffix in Spanish-speaking places. You'll also note this sign has another 𝗲𝗿í𝗮 on it. I'll get to that one shortly... it deserves its own post.

No. 42 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: SALTEÑERÍA

A "salteña" is a Bolivian empanada-like pastry filled with meat (beef, pork, or chicken), raisins, olives, potatoes, and chiles in a sweet/spicy sauce. Its name apparently comes from the Salta province in Argentina where immigrants from there settled in Bolivia and named this pastry after their former home. This information comes from the surprisingly long and detailed article in Wikipedia on the salteña.

Anyway, I spotted this salteñería cafe in Mexico City. I wish I had gone in and given a salteña a try. Sounds delicious!

Out at 8 am. Same walking route as last Thursday, five minutes slower. Blame the heat.

#walking #exercise #health #UrbanWalking

Shorter walk today 3½ miles, but a little faster.

Round by the Roundhouse which is closed for refurbishment, meaning throwing out everything that made it a pub and inserting a load of tasteless bling.

Dagenham Roundhouse - Wikipedia

Barking Barrage and back by roundabout routes.

5.2 miles (8.37km) in 2 hours 25 minutes so an average speed of 2.15 mph (3.46kph), only 80% of what Google claims the average walker would do.

It didn't rain. Legs ache.

No. 41 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: QUESADILLERÍA

"Quesadilla" is a popular dish from Mexican cuisine consisting of two tortillas with cheese and often meat or other fillings in between cooked on a griddle or stovetop. A "quesadillería" is a restaurant that specializes in these, such as this one next to Alameda de Santa María in Mexico City.

The word quesadilla is formed from the Spanish word "queso" (cheese) and the suffix "-illa" (indicating something that is small or endearing).

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that walking exactly the same route as yesterday was done in exactly the same time. 🤔

No. 40 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: MILANESERÍA

Preparing food in a Milanese style (from Milan, Italy) involves pan-frying thin slices of meat that have been dipped in a light batter and breadcrumbs. In Spanish, "milanesa" refers to this style and also means "cutlet", so a "milanesería" is a restaurant specializing in serving cutlets and Milanese style food.

In this restaurant in the Roma Norte colonia of Mexico City, their "mascots" were Mila the chicken, and Nesa, the cow. Quite clever! The food was delish.
