>The international image we have is that we seem happy and that we love parties. That´s true and we give our best to the tourists. We seem happy because these have been the best years for us yet, most seem to ignore the twists and depth that has been hidden between us and everybody.
It is interesting that is the case when you think about it. Considering that wouldn't be a lot of people's first thought with spain even 60 years ago.

I went through something similar when I was a teenager. History is very complex and full of things that don't quite fit with the postmodern obession with the present. ( A lot the Native Americians owned slaves and fought on the side of the south. Some "dark age" conuties actually being a bit more progressive then we protray, etc) We've all been a little bad to each other. Sorry for that war we did with ya!
>This could (in a way) explain why the stories I have written don´t sound like the ones you typically know.
I get this too. I for all I know turn out similer with my stuff. I love obscure history and on the political end, forgoten factions and smaller once conutries. So yeah. This stuff can be fun to sometimes, especially on the local level. Did you know this church we are standing in used to be a store owned by a crazed world war 1 vet who painted cubist art of cats?
