Catalonia Vs Spain - Volume 2. The landscapes

If you go to the center of Spain, whitch can of landscapes do you spect? maybe green landscapes?, Do you think that is possible to have green landscapes and a lot of sun at the same time? I tell you, I know very well, it's not possible.

Did you know that a lot of "western" movies with a lot of dry and arid landscapes were filmed in Spain?

Did you know that in inside Spain there are not less than two deserts (Tabernes, Monegros) and a lot of places that are going dryer and dryer (for example: Almeria, Murcia, Alicante, Castilla regions)?

Let me show you some pictures of diferent places of Spain, just to give a glimpse of it:

1.- Monegros desert in Aragon.
2.- Murcia region.
3.- Tabernes desert in Alemria.













































If you think in Catalonia, there's still on the Iberian Peninsula, but his geography makes it very diferent in clima.

Catalonia Vs Spain - Volume 1. The beaches

You can swim in the very cheap beaches of the southern Spain in crowded places like Benidorm (see foto), Marbella, Alicante, Valencia, Andalucia.

Tipical spanish song - "Tu Jodida España"



Tu Jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra
De tu santa mierda
Ahora te despiertan
Versos de profetas
¿dónde están tus ojos?
¿dónde están tus manos?
¿dónde tu CABEZA?

Tu jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra

Tu jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra

De las aras quietas
De las vendas negras
Sobre carne abierta
¿Quién pasó tu hambre?
¿Quién bebió tu sangre,
aun estas seca?

Tu jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra

Tu jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra

Pueblo sin palabras
Y de piel amarga
inutil tu protesta
No quiero ser tu tierra
No quiero ser tu hierba
Cuando yo me muera

Tu jodida España
Esta España tuya,
Esta España vuestra
