The pics are great, but the first also for me is an illustration of the 
power of the Catholic church and the reason why I very much dislike this 
holiday--for me it represents 1492, the tragic year for the Jews of Spain, 
and in more modern times the fascist military dictatorship from 1939 until 
1975. This last aspect is particularly accentuated by the huge military 
parade held in Madrid.

Cheers,
Nathan
