I love this stamp depicting the legend of the island of Sa Dragonera off Mallorca, named because it resembles a sleeping dragon.

The extraordinary eye of the bearded vulture. Spanish+Catalan terms quebrantahuesos/trencalòs (bonebreaker) refers to it dropping bones from high to smash on rocks to get marrow. Didn't manage last yea. For the Basques it's ugatz-I'd love to use that in a conversation one day. Begiratu! Ugatz bat!

I was very lucky to go on Nick's walking tour of Barcelona a few years ago. It was very special to see the city through the lens of the Spanish Revolution. Highly recommend going if you are in Barcelona.

Belchite, Aragón, damaged during the 1937 Republican offensive and then further destroyed by Francoist counter-offensive aided by the Condor Legion and then above all 88 years of abandonment. Always worth visiting.

La Pequeña Rusia, "refugee" camp just outside Belchite, Aragón for "Red" Republican families (men forced labourers elsewhere). Still called Little Russia today. To keep 'infected" population safe distance from new town as cordon sanitaire. As shocking as ruined town itself. Hunger, lice, humiliation
