This Orwell tag in front of the Hotel Continental in La Rambla, where the writer arrived on 26 December 1936. "It was the first time I had ever been in a town in which the working class was in the saddle" Other tags in front of other Barcelonan Orwell landmarks by Mister Fernando
Finally got to join Nick @Civil_War_Spain on his excellent tour in Barcelona. Strongly recommend it.
George Orwell had tattoos on his knuckles in the form of little blue circles. Got while serving in Imperial Police in Burma. Local belief saw them as defence against tigers, British guns and other evil spirits. Didn't stop Francoist bullet through his neck in Aragón of course

Machine gun cartridge box. Sent by Mexico to Spanish Republic. An artifact reminding of positive role played by Mexico helping the Republic. Mexico never recognised the Franco regime, not doing so till 1977. Part of @pdlhistoria's collection
Agustí Centelles capturing the ideological complexities of revolutionary Barcelona. This CNT collectivised bus trundling past the Hotel Colon, controlled by the PSUC, Lenin there but above all Stalin watching down. Plaça Catalunya, 1936.
El Greco"a dramatic and mesmerising View of Toledo. ~1600. I love the threatening clouds, the hills seem about to swallow the town or perhaps slide into the Tajo below. This is one of the earliest examples of a landscape painting though not a true topographical representation.
Two images from children's story Fill de Rojo (Son of a Red, 2007) I came across in my local library by Joan Portell about a Catalan boy's experiences of war and the Franco regime. Top Republican prewar school, bottom Francoist school...
Barcelona from Montjuïc today under a changing sky. The shell of Fecsa's offices, squat and ugly there, blocking the iconic Tres Xemeneies, three chimneys.
PlaçaCatalunya 1954. 1st appearances peaceful scene of quieter longgone Barcelona, but masks reality of murderous klepto state with much of pop living in fear+undernourished. Taxis driven by regime supporters Bootblacks subservient at end in Rambla+Falangist eyeing. 📹 @BoigBCN
9 months after seeing the greatest attempt at worker control in world history, the trade union parades in Barcelona on 1 May 1937 were cancelled by Catalan govt due to rising tensions between revolutionary and proRepublican groups. The May Days (Fets de Maig) erupted 2 days later
Yesterday, rainiest day in Barcelona for four years 🥳

"Interbrigadisten vor Teruel" (International Brigades at Teruel) by Gerhard Kurt Müller 1966-67. Dresden, NewMastersGallery. Town+looming sky behind reminds me of El Greco's view of Toledo. Criticised at time in GDR for unheroic portrayal of fighters. The feel of cold is patent
Republican troops at Battle of Teruel moving against Francoist positions. Another image from excellent "El General Invierno en la Batalla de Teruel" by @VicenteAupi, book on effect of freezing weather on possibly the most important battle of the war. Photo: Reina Sofia collection
NEW EPISODE: 'Sánchez Is Staying!!!' In a move straight out of his favourite TV show Baron Noir, Sánchez orchestrated another theatrical gesture or 'golpe de efecto' so as to rally the Left and regain the initiative while confronting right-wing smears. open.spotify.com/episode/4XdRyc…
Lovely rainy day in a wet week in Barcelona. Happy trees and frogs in the parks and perfect for writing snug at home with cups of tea and a full packet of Pims, as the Iberian Jaffa cake is called.
Like Sánchez or not, if had resigned, would been huge victory for right/ultra right and its Trumpist, bullying, post truth tactics supported by its lying media+activist judges, opening a dark stinking can of worms vpossibly leading to a decade of them in power+untold consequences

Colourised photo of tram collectivised by the anarchist CNT trade union. Bottom of Plaça Catalunya in front of Cafè Zurich, 1936. Note the Hotel Colon controlled by the PSUC (Pro-soviet communist) in the background. Transport was collectivised in Barcelona throughout the war.

@Civil_War_Spain @pdlhistoria The Lincolns received rifles that they called Mexicanskis. Sent from Russia to Mexico years before, and then to Spain.

@Civil_War_Spain @pdlhistoria Just to draw a picture about machine guns, this box represents 3 seconds of fire (using a 400 rounds/minute fire rate, which is less than the average then).
TRANCONES are the traditional wooden locks that are still used in the old CHOZOS in the south of Ávila. For obvious reasons (lo que sea) people didn't carry their keys in their pockets: they used to hide them under a rock or a bush.
@Civil_War_Spain @pdlhistoria Cardenas recognised the threat to Hispano American democracy.
Spain’s left-wing coalition Sumar has fallen into an organizational dead end. To ensure it remains a viable political project the alliance will need to spark public engagement by taking a stand for something distinctive. jacobin.com/2024/05/sumar-…
