The concept of taking a vacation is a recent
invention and has been developed through the last two centuries. Once the idea
of travel and recreation was a luxury of wealthy people alone, taking a break
from work for reasons other than weekly observance of the Sabbath, was frowned
upon. In modern days we take it for granted, the well deserved break from work
that allows us to charge the batteries for another year of work. With the current
situation in Spain maybe vacation once again will be a luxury of the wealthy people
alone.
