Madrid F-L

Francova kuća/Franco’s house
Kad se ide prima Hoyo de Manzanares na vrh jednega brda stoji jedna zlokobna crna kuća. To je bila Francova kuća za odmor. Danas je napuštena i napola uništena, ali i dalje čini strahu.

On the way to Hoyo de Manzanares there is a gloomy black house on top of a hill. That was Franco’s kind of summerhouse. Today is deserted and destroyed, but still looks scary.


Guernica

Napokon smo je vidili. Veličanstvena je!
We finally saw it. It is magnificant!


Hoyo de Manzanares
To je malo misto ( klik, klik) iznad Madrida, a za Nas je bitno zato što nas je tamo ugostila prekrasna Blanka u svom stanu s pogledom na rečeni bazen. Osim bazena još jedna prednost ovega malega mista je da je na visini od priko 1000 metri i ima lipe prohladne litnje noći što je savršeno nakon madridske žege (doć ćemo i do tega). Na slici je željeznička stanica u Hoyu. Hoyanci stvarno imaju stila, što je je.

It is a small town/village ( click, click) at the outskirts of Madrid, and for us is important because that is where beautiful Blanca lives and she let us stay at her place with the above-mentioned pool. Other then pool another benefit of this small town is that is situated somewhere over 1000 metres and has wonderfully chilly summer nights which is perfect after Madrid heat (we’ll come to that). The photo shows the train station in Hoyo. Hoyo people really have style, we have to admit that.



Izgubljeno-nađeno/Lost&found
Izgubljeno nađeno
Mobitel - ostavili smo ga u hotelu, sjetili se nakon pet minuti i vratili po njega
Takujin - ostavili ga u butigi, sjetili se nakon pet minuti i još jedne butige, vratili se po njega i našli ga u netaknuten stanju
Min - ušli u autobus 612 umisto 611, shvatili di smo i kud ćemo zahvaljujući talijansken, rukama i nogama, došli na pravo misto uru vrimena kašnje

Lost-found
the mobile phone - left it in the hotel, remebered 5 minutes later and went back to pick it up
the wallet - left it in a shop, remembered 5 minutes and another shop later, came back to pick it and find it untouched
ourselves - got totally lost when we took bus 612 instead of 611, discovered where we are thanks to our Italian, came to the right place an hour later


Kafena/brown
To je bi naš prvi dojam Španjolske kroz punistru od aviona – ogromna prostranstva kafene boje. Kako je do nas sedi jedan domaći pitali smo ga što je to. “Pokrajina Aragon” reka nan je, “ogromno suho i pusto područje, a usrid njega mislu učinit ništo kako Las Vegas.” “Aha” rekli smo i nastavili slikavat.

Brown, that was our first impression of Spain through the plane window – huge areas of brown. A native was sitting next to us so we asked him whati is that. “The province of Aragon” he said “a huge, dry and deserted area, and in the middle of that something like Las Vegas is planned.” “Aha”, said us and continued to take photos.


Klasična latinština/Latin languages

Prvo smo mislili “Ma što ovo znači, nunc je čini nan se ništa, ali onda ništa je piti ne znači ništa”. Onda smo konzultirali svemogući Google i otkrili da je Nunc est bibendum reka Horacije, a da to znači Vrime je za pit. Odlično ime za kafić, a i uvik nan je drago vidit da latinski ni skroz mrtav.

Photobucket

At first we thought “What does this means, we think nunc is nothing, but then nothing is drinking means nothing”. Then we consulted Google the allmighty and found out that Nunc est bibendum is from Ovid, and it means Now is the time for drinking. A great name for a bar, and also we always like to see that Latin is not completely dead.


Književnost/Literature

Marketinške fore ali opet, drago nan je vidit da se za reklame koriste književne reference. Španjolske željeznice nas pozivaju da se uputimo s njima i oživimo Cervantesov duh. Ideja za Hrvatske željeznice: 500 godina rođenja Petra Zoranića -> turistički vlak za neke planine.

Photobucket

A marketing trick, but still, we like to see when ads have literal references. Spanish railway invite us to come up and revive the spirit of Cervantes.



Kolonije
Vrlo je praktično imat kolonije. Prvo ih iskoristiš, a kad se osamostalu dobiješ jeftinu radnu snagu.
Koliko smo vidili, sve teške poslove Španjolskoj obavljaju domoroci, ali iz prekomorskih zemalja.

La Tauromaquia
Ne, nismo bili na koridu. To ćemo drugi put, usprkos zvjezdanom nebu nad nama i moralnom zakonu u nama. Što ćemo, gledali smo na televiziji i stvarno nas je očaralo. Najbliže što smo se pribiližili koridi je ovi spomenik u Hoyu. Ovo crno je jedan veliki vapor koji simbolizira gozbu nakon koride. Naime, u Hoyu se slavi sv. Jakov, isto kako i u Čari. Onda bude velika fešta, korida, a ubijeni bik se svari i dili puku.

Photobucket

No, we havent’t been to corida. We’ll do that next time, in spite of the starry sky above me and the moral law within me”. What can we do, we saw it on TV and were fascinated. The closest we got to the corida is this monument in Hoyo. This black thing is a huge pot that symbolises the feast after the corida. The bull is cooked and the whole town than eats it.


La Mancha

Vozili smo se i kroz La Manchu. Don Quijotea nismo kontrali.

Photobucket

We drove through La Mancha. We haven’t encountered Don Quijote.
