    Incidentally I was in Barcelona earlier this year, there was an exhibition in
    Montjuic Castle about German fascism in Barcelona. The Nazis had a strong
    prescence with long Nazi banners being hung across the city from 39-45

    Of course Catalonia is the region where the authorities now take the
    exhumation and identification of war remains most seriously.

    Yep Cigarrones is the place. We lived for 5 years in Tijola directly opposite
    and on the side of the river until literally last month .

    This will bring back a few memories for you, DJP – the Green Dragon
    Festival in 2006. I went then and in 2007 when it was at its height (my ex
    wife was one of the peformers on stage in 2007). Very Woodstock and all that
