Yesterday evening the result of the poll in a corner of Spain, Catalonia voted for independance. A personal victory for Artur Mas who led the party for independant Catalans. A french story only in the way that borders touch France and many of us go to the Costa Brava and Barcelona for small breaks.
The last two times we have stayed in our lovely hotel at Llafranc we have commented on Catalan flags everywhere and the hotel staff quite unpromted told us " we are not Spanish but Catalan"
I wonder why there is such a rise in Nationalism everywhere, eg. Scotland, and now Spain, where to be fair the Basque country having been fighting for Independance for years.
I am sure someone will tell me?
