"The conquistadors are too “pagan” for the Church and most Christians to accept — they wanted glory, power, wealth, dominion over space. At the same time, they were too deeply Catholic to be picked up by neopagans, and too White for progressives. They exist in a strange limbo".

- Alaric the Barbarian, The Dissident Review.

When they discovered a huge Roman bath within a 2,000-year-old house in Spain, archaeologists were thrilled. But now they’ve found well-preserved iron window bars, they’re over the moon.

This is a comment under some news about how in Euskadi salaries are up to 700€ higher than in other places, for example, Extremadura. It's hateful and depicts a distorted reality, but I'm sharing so you can see, because many people in Spain have these same ideas that right wing loves to mantain. It reads:

Extremadurans have it easy, I'm going to give you the guidelines to get rich at the expense of the rest of the Spaniards: 1. Invent a language and say that it has been spoken for 7000 years 2. Invent that you are an ancient nation from 5000 years ago (less than the language to make it exciting) with a few absurd dances and silly sports and typical clothing, for example a huge beret. I know it's ridiculous but trust... the flag, copy one of any other country and just change the colors, now say that it is original and not a copy. 3. Wait until there is a coup d'état by some asshole and start being annoying saying you are leaving Spain so that that dictator fills you with industry. 4. Create a terrorist group to tighten the screws even more. Remember that children are bonuses and that it is good if a terrorist dies to become a martyr. Support the terrorists blindly and say that they are not terrorists but warriors of your homeland even if they kill children. Don't forget to honor them... 5. Wait until the dictator dies, those who install democracy will do so in such a way that they always depend on your votes and thus be able to do what you want 6. Look in ancient texts from centuries ago to see if you have any special privileges in terms of old laws and thus you will not pay a single penny to the State but you will receive from Spain. 7. You will already be in a situation where all the country's benefits will go to you thanks to the dictator and having the politicians taken by the balls while you stand out from the rest by portraying some of the terrorists and those who support them as politicians... You just got rich.

artisanal food shop sign in Trujillo by d0gwalker Via Flickr: This sign hangs outside La Almazara, a shop selling artisanal food products such as jamon iberico, just up from the Plaza Major in Trujillo, Extremadura, Spain. It shows a pig foraging under an oak tree, which is the source of Extremadura's famous 'bellota' (acorn) ham from acorn-fed Pata Negra pigs.

I just saw a folklore festival where villages from the whole region made a parade singing and dancing traditional songs and showcasing traditional costumes for different local festivities. Here is a glimpse of the ambient and the costumes. We have winter, spring and autumn traditions, but there were much much more.
