This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities. There are many Catalan companies and destinations that have adapted their products and services accordingly.

  • Catalan Farmhouses and Farming Families in Catalonia Between the 16Th and Early 20Th Centuries
    CATALAN HISTORICAL REVIEW, 9: 71-84 (2016) Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.122 · ISSN: 2013-407X http://revistes.iec.cat/chr/ Catalan farmhouses and farming families in Catalonia between the 16th and early 20th centuries Assumpta Serra* Institució Catalana d’Estudis Agraris Received 20 May 2015 · Accepted 15 July 2015 Abstract The masia (translated here as the Catalan farmhouse), or the building where people reside on a farming estate, is the outcome of the landscape where it is located. It underwent major changes from its origins in the 11th century until the 16th century, when its evolu- tion peaked and a prototype was reached for Catalonia as a whole. For this reason, in the subsequent centuries the model did not change, but building elements were added to it in order to adapt the home to the times. Catalan farmhouses are a historical testimony, and their changes and enlargements always reflect the needs of their inhabitants and the technological possibilities of the period.

  • The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain
    SOCIAL THOUGHT & COMMENTARY Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain Stanley Brandes University of California, Berkeley Abstract Although the bullfight as a public spectacle extends throughout southwestern Europe and much of Latin America, it attains greatest political, cultural, and symbolic salience in Spain. Yet within Spain today, the bullfight has come under serious attack, from at least three sources: (1) Catalan nationalists, (2) Spaniards who identify with the new Europe, and (3) increasingly vocal animal rights advocates. This article explores the current debate—cultural, political, and ethical—on bulls and bullfighting within the Spanish state, and explores the sources of recent controversy on this issue. [Keywords: Spain, bullfighting, Catalonia, animal rights, public spectacle, nationalism, European Union] 779 Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain s is well known, the bullfight as a public spectacle extends through- A out southwestern Europe (e.g., Campbell 1932, Colomb and Thorel 2005, Saumade 1994), particularly southern France, Portugal, and Spain. It is in Spain alone, however, that this custom has attained notable polit- ical, cultural, and symbolic salience. For many Spaniards, the bull is a quasi-sacred creature (Pérez Álvarez 2004), the bullfight a display of exceptional artistry. Tourists consider bullfights virtually synonymous with Spain and flock to these events as a source of exotic entertainment. My impression, in fact, is that bullfighting is even more closely associated with Spanish national identity than baseball is to that of the United States. Garry Marvin puts the matter well when he writes that the cultur- al significance of the bullfight is “suggested by its general popular image as something quintessentially Spanish, by the considerable attention paid to it within Spain, and because of its status as an elaborate and spectacu- lar ritual drama which is staged as an essential part of many important celebrations” (Marvin 1988:xv).

  • La Travesía De Los Pirineos En BTT
    La sección Biciclista del Komando Kroketa presenta: La travesía de los Pirineos en BTT Parte I: Llançà – La Seu d’Urgell Prólogo Con la llegada del verano del 2009, la mayoría de los miembros del Komando Kroketa se dedican a barranquear, crestear o recorrer el Pirineo a pie (casi mejor, tras la experiencia con algunas “miembras” en la Ruta del Cister). Pero otra parte, prefiere compaginarlo con rutas con la bicicleta de montaña. Por eso de que un deporte que se hace sentado no ha de ser muy cansado. Así sin grandes preparativos, solamente Guillermo y yo (Pablo) decidimos realizar la Transpirenaica en BTT en diversos tramos desde el Mediterráneo al Atlántico. La oportunidad se presenta en el mes de Julio, donde ambos tenemos 5 días disponibles para empezar la travesía. A última hora se nos junta Javi, que se encontraba en otros “menesteres” más delicados. Esta primera parte la empezaremos en Llançà y la terminaremos a orillas del Segre justo antes de llegar a la Seu d’Urgell. Serán 5 días de ruta, llevando con nosotros todo lo necesario por no poder engañar a nadie para que nos hiciera de coche de apoyo. Para no llevar peso, dormiremos y comeremos siempre en los pueblos que vayamos pasando en la ruta. Nos alojaremos en bungalows y pequeñas fondas que hemos reservado previamente desde Zaragoza. Guillermo acopla un trasportín en la bici y Javi y yo optamos por pequeñas mochilas. Ambas opciones son buenas, siempre que la mochila no sea pesada (entre 4-5 kilos). Para evitar el calor vespertino intentaremos salir por la mañana prontito y así tener la tarde para descansar, pueblear y repasar las bicis.
