Spanish term or phrase: cotidianos paralelos
Hello!
I am translating two articles about life in villages of Spain. One is about farming activities and the other is about a traditional dance.

The title of both articles is "Cotidianos paralelos".

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Explanation:
If you haven't done already, I would suggest you finish reading and/or translating the entire text before translating the title. Often it can give you a clearer idea of why such a title is chosen. My instinct is that it refers to the parallels between different communities in their everyday life, shared or similar traditions, perhaps. Titles aren't always explicit and often try to be more suggestive than descriptive.
