Curuxa,
My name is Lou Alvarez. I use the email address elcuruxo@....*
How did you come by the name Curuxa? I use curuxo because my Dad's family was from La Coruxa in Castrillon, Asturias, near Piedras Blancas.I would appreciate hearing from you.

| hi Lou, There's an easy explanation for his/her name. The word 'curuxa' in Asturian means 'owl'. Maybe the place name in Castrillon was taken from an inordinate abundance of owls there. I'll leave that up to our etymologist detectives... |

Ha! I love the voices! (But the pop-up windows are irritating.)
¡Ja ja! ¡Me encanta los voces! (Pero los ventanas pop-up son molestos.) |
