Catalan leaders sentenced

yes perhaps my final part as worded wrongly, I believe they should have the right to self determination and I am aware they held a vote which they won. The 'country' called Spain is a mixture of regions, cultures, languages and lifestyles. Madrid, like Paris have historically imposed their will on others whether they like it or not. For what it is worth I have the Cathar symbol on my garage and I knew someone that could sing the 14 verses of the Cathar national anthem. Vive la Occitanie.
I am impressed.

Not many people will know about the Cathars and especially the Albigensian crusades aimed at destroying their supposed "heresy" against the Catholic church. I didn't know they had a National Anthem.

The region of Midi Pyrenees is a beautiful and historic place. I was once told that the only people they hate more than the British is the Parisians. There is a town called Llivia. it is on the French side of the Pyrenees. It is totally surrounded by France and yet it is Spanish. Apparently after many years of fighting between the 2 countries France and Spain agreed a border, Llivia was on the French side, they refused to accept this and were happy to carry on fighting. The French government was so fed up they let them carry on being Spanish. If you go there, all the cars are registred in Spain, the houses are different and of course they speak Spanish.

Pfft, you dont know any Paradox game players

Not lived until you've taken over the monarchy of Leon, murdered your brother to inherit the throne of Castille, then conqueres Galicia and negotiate the fate of Navarra in order to gain French support for the Reconquista of Andalusia.

Any true son of Hispania knows that Madrid is a fake administration and the true capital of the Castillians is in Toledo.
 
Reconquista of Andalusia.

.

That is an important event for members of the Spanish VOX party, due to its Moorish connections. I think they hold a vigil at the Alhahambra every year to commerate it.

My knowledge is small and only known because of watching the Tour De France as they have raced through the region and explained.

Fascinating history that is close to home but we know nothing of.
 
A huge 'national' strike is taking place over in the Catalonian region. Main roads blocked, everyone marching. It could end up making Paris look like a day out at Disney.
