One Europe: The Dream of Unity : Perspectives : Getting Together: The People Speak : A SPANISH FAMILY

Economist Gonzalo Viloria, 46, lives with his 39-year-old wife, Alicia Barrios, and their two teen-aged children in an apartment they bought eight years ago in Majadahonda, a pastoral village within commuting distance of Madrid. Their combined annual income--Barrios manages aprivate security company--is about $67,000.

“In daily life, in economic terms, (the European Community) isn’t noticeable yet, because the big steps toward integration haven’t been taken. Really it will be felt in Spain in economic and commercial terms when there is completely unrestricted flow of merchandise and people.

“I continue working the same hours on the same things with the same people that I have for many years. In my daily life I get up, go to work, go eat, come home, (then) read or watch television.”

Barrios agrees: “Everything’s more or less the same.” An exception is her career. “(Before) I worked for the peace of mind, but now I see it as necessary.”
