To Stand Watch

Vigilar (v.) -

A verb in Spanish that alludes to ideas of both surveillance and care. To watch over and be attentive; to monitor and observe; to police and remain alert; to hold vigil.

When conducting fieldwork in Spain, I often found myself returning to this word.

Vigilar. To observe, to watch over, to survey.
