Interesting. National flags are bestowed with a new and obviously vital 
importance, globally. JM

Objet : [Leica] IMG: Algerians in Alicante

Last week two small vignettes really brought home that our nearest neighbour 
here in Alicante is North Africa. On Thursday afternoon I was cycling after 
work, and I stopped to photograph the sunset sky over the A70 motorway that 
bypasses Alicante, including in the picture a sign indicating the distance 
to Almer?a and the ferries to Morocco and Algeria that depart from there?in 
Spanish and in Arabic, since many of the drivers who use this motorway to 
get to the ferries to cross the Mediterranean are Moroccans and Algerians 
living in countries further north, such as France, Belgium or the 
Netherlands.

Then on Sunday afternoon I was walking around the centre and happened upon 
this small demonstration on Plaza Monta?eta, one of Alicante?s central 
squares. The tone was decidedly celebratory, and I suspected that it had to 
do with the recent resignation of longtime president Bouteflika. And indeed, 
one of the Algerian bystanders confirmed that. I took a few pictures:

People were very friendly and someone else asked me if I needed more 
information?I politely told him that I had already spoken with one of his 
compatriots there.

Cheers,
