I asked a young girl she told me the name But I said I did not know how to spell would   she typed it in the iPad . My phone went dead so I got a changer for my phone from the only one that spoke English.We left our suitcase there at the train station. After a lot of time there . He had fraction collar bone and some torn ligaments.
But we left.with the help of one my sons coworker that came and helped,
 he could  speak Spanish ,Vito called him from Minnesota to Spain
