| Photos of Basque men wearing "txapelas" (Basque berets) |
Now that I'm back in Madrid and can download photos from my camera to computer, here are a couple of pictures of the Basque bar that we went to on Sunday in Barcelona. The bar had lots of murals of Basque scenes and photos of Basque men wearing txapelas (Basque berets), and of course, great Basque "pintxos" (tapas, more or less). As I mentioned before, you would never see such an overt display of the Basque culture in Madrid ... I assume that ETA has just made the subject too touchy to "celebrate" the Basque culture here. And given what ETA has done here, it's quite understandable.
