José Antonio is a politician, or political rather than as a thinker and leader of the national-syndicalist movement, the cause has transpired in the history of Spain, with the founding of a political movement, as was English Falange de las JONS, formed as a novelty at the time, like a different way of understanding politics as a service to the community national impregnating a young and revolutionary style that has transcended to today.

Valga, therefore, this study not a hagiographic tribute last and the young politician, but, on the contrary, as analysis of political and personal testimony to a new generation of English who want to come, without complexes and unwavering loyalty to José Antonio Primo de Rivera, starring suggestive of a project life common to all English, in his own words, to constitute a "unit of the universal destination."

Today, it so fashionable to speak of "recovering the historical memory, many people fill their mouths when speaking of an alleged pistolerismo Falange in the 30's under the cover of manipulated, misunderstood and handy José Antonio sentence of the "dialectic of fists and guns." For the current system, especially for their means of communication (instead of "mass manipulation"), the Falange was and is a group of bloodthirsty murderers ...

however, are very different reality and history. And the reality is that the Second English Republic was a real anti-democratic abuse and persecution toward those who were not ideologically to the left. Today, nearly eighty years later, with all the dirty lies that have been made in the way, tell the truth: the truth without exaggerating or complex, the tragic and one great truth of exemplary men of a century of "stars" who, like Ruiz de la Hermosa, gave his young life for the Revolution hopeful that talks about Patria, Bread and Justice and that Spain is still pending.

THE BEST OF 2010


BEST OF 2010

Dear fellow readers,

When they get identified and dates as we are accustomed to bomb specials such as "the most important news of the year" "The best goals," the hottest weddings or divorces, and so much more. Come on, that any publication that prides itself can not be considered as such if a summary of what happened during the year. We did not want to be less than anyone else, here I leave a list with all our published accounts that you may enjoy the most appeals to them. We want to finish

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Florentino Sanders.

THE SHIELD OF THE REPUBLIC (III): THE RETREAT.
The Retiro park is undoubtedly the most famous and emblematic of Madrid. Behind him is a long and intense history and among its gates have lived through many historical events. The withdrawal can also find a large number of monuments dedicated to characters and episodes each with its own history behind. In this review we focus on the monument to the brothers Alvarez Quintero, valise chosen by many who came to Madrid to practice bullfighting outdoor classroom. Very close to the monument is the Gateway to America, access to the park open during the republic, where we can find another Republican shield those preserved in Madrid.

THE SHIELD OF THE REPUBLIC (II): inclusiveness.
On April 22, 1917, Zaragoza distro would suffer a tremendous Florentino Ballesteros gored in the old Plaza de Toros in Madrid that eventually cause death within hours. The bullfighter was brought up in the Foundling Hospital of Zaragoza.
The Foundling Hospital of Madrid was created under the reign of Philip II and is named after a painting of the Virgin from the Dutch town of Einkussen brought soldiers of Thirds of Flanders, which would be donated to the institution. Virgin castellanizaría name ending in Our Lady of the Foundling.
This isntitución has a long tradition in Madrid, and the last location would be on the O'Donnell Street where at the time of the Republic inaugurated the Provincial Child Care Hospital, heir of that, whose main facade we see a spectacular coat polychrome Republican.

HEIFER.
The November 13, 2010, died in Madrid director Luis García Berlanga film. Among his works we can find some of the undisputed jewels of English cinema of the last century, but since this writing we want to emphasize one over all, and none other than The Heifer. A film that mixes Civil War and bulls, bulls and Civil War, all with a touch of irony and humor wasting. What more could we ask from this wording?.
In addition to this masterpiece, Berlanga person also lived in the vicissitudes of conflict very directly, not only as a soldier, if not for the fact the son of a Republican congressman. Berlanga after the war would end in the Blue Division. All this you can find it with some surprise in this story.

THE ENIGMA OF TANK Vidal-Quadras.
addition to distinguished jurist, Don Cesar Raul Cancio is a great historical researcher as I have clearly demonstrated with the article about the mystery of the death of long Duruti published in the prestigious Madrid Front. In November 2010 gave an interesting lecture versed in another puzzle of the Battle of Madrid: the emergence of the orders of General Valera operations on the corpse of a tank shot near Madrid. Dr. Cancio raises different hypotheses about this episode, including that in fact this is a republican spy assembly.

DEJA VU.
Last November, as usual held the traditional festivities of Gefrema in honor of San Assault, commemorating the Battle of Madrid which took place in the same month of 1936. As in other years, the main celebration was conducted by Antonio Morcillo "President" that would deal an extraordinary solo route through the perimeter of the House, was a great success.
However, the news came as a result of a series of strange paranormal phenomena that were repeated throughout the task, and were received by a large number of the fans who packed the stands. Facts that many blamed on the proximity of Halloween and the strange ritual that involves holding imported.

MIGUEL HERNANDEZ Y EL TORO.
The year 2010 marked the centenary of the birth of poet Miguel Hernandez. For this reason there have been countless tributes, exhibitions, conferences, etc. related to the event. From SUN AND FLIES we wanted to join in this tribute addressed in this chronicle of the two subjects that usually accompany us: the bulls and the Civil War, and its relationship with the universal poet.
Included in this review in the section of the "MOVIES OF SUN AND FLY", a unique and moving document soundscape in which we hear the same Miguel Hernández reciting one of his poems in a recording made during the Civil War.

THE OUTSTANDING and pardon.
On a sunny October morning was a new route Gefrema guided here by the incomparable master Pozas William Wood "Fuze" after a mammoth task that would reach a huge success. This route
toured different places related to the Civil War in the town of Madrid, and different from that episode remains that are preserved, which caused in some cases divided opinions among fans and controversy in the stands.

THE SHIELD OF THE REPUBLIC (I): SALES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The arrival of the Republic brought about the change of state symbols including the flag, anthem and emblem. Despite the passage of time and dictatorships, we can see today still go through some shield Republican Madrid currently held. This chronic
talk from Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, which opened in the republican period, which is located in a traditional neighborhood of Madrid, with a long and curious history behind him, which also whole travel according to this story.

THE NARROW PASSAGE OF THE SUMMER OF 1936.
In the previous review we reviewed the most significant events in the history of Cadiz and its impact on Spain, and in this review we moved hata the summer of 1936. The military coup had not achieved its objectives on the peninsula and the situation began to unravel for the rebels. The intervention of the African army commanded by General Franco could turn to the situation, but the Navy had been almost entirely faithful to the Republic, which left only the option to make this move by air, which is achieved with the support of German and Italian planes sent by Hitler and Mussolini.

CAI. (Cadiz to outsiders).
The province of Cadiz has always been intimately linked to the history of Spain since the beginning of time. Have been numerous historical events that occurred in this province that have influenced historical events in the nation. Also the province of Cadiz is also intimately tied to the history of the bull and of bullfighting, so it is impossible to talk of bulls and bullfighters in Spain without stopping in the province of Cadiz. In this review we make a journey through the history of Cadiz and the bull-fighting in this beautiful province.
ARGÜELLES MARKET, Neruda, BOMBING AND THE VIRGIN OF THE DOVE.
The poet Pablo Neruda dedicated one of his verses to the markets of Madrid, neighborhood where he lived until the beginning of the civil war. Some versions suggest the existence of an outdoor market located in the solar market today that is being renovated. A research paper Florentino Sanders, who leads us to discover that the painting of the Virgen de la Paloma was hidden in the headboard of a bed during the contest on a house in the Rue de Altamirano in Argüelles neighborhood. All this with a rich collection of images and news of the time period.
ANOTHER VICTORY PARADE.
In late March 1939 Franco troops entering Madrid in the Calle de la Princesa, parade highlighted the division between the English. Seventy-one years later, another parade down the street but managed to put a very different sign according to the majority of the English. A chronicle with a dramatic photographic archive, current and photographs of the civil war, which features a sequence in which Xavi Alonso dedicated a "comb" to a group of Dutch fans.
THE RED (pardon me), THE DUKE AND THE DUKE OF ALBA Fuentealbilla.
Spain beat Holland in the World Championship final. In history there have been several clashes between the Dutch and English, one of the most striking episodes starring the Duke of Alba in the reign of Philip II. If that was featured in that time, this was the protagonist Andrew Inistea, for which the Duchy of Fuentealbilla request. We also review the adventures of another Duke of Alba, the heir of that, during the civil war which had an outstanding intervention.
THE SHOCK OF THE MAYOR AND THE BATTLE OF REPOSITORY.
Severiano Montero has published a wonderful book about the Battle of Brunete, a battle in which the shock had a role. In bulls also surprise is always present, as evidenced by a unique photograph of the former mayor of Madrid Jose Maria Alvarez del Manzano.

THE WORLD, THE GOAL LAMPARD AND INTERNATIONAL VILLARATO. world

Saramago, Bailong, LEGION CONDOR AND THE THIRTEEN ROSES.
The writer Saramago, a fervent anti-bullfighting, died in Lanzarote begin shortly after the summer.

Madrid president Florentino Pérez, the Iberian with signings such as Ronaldo and Mourinho.

THE GREAT EVENT.
During the Feria de San Isidro was to take place in the Madrid and Catalan Blanquerna arena of one of the most anticipated run for all the fans for a long time, in which the great master the Zubi Seville, accompanied by Moncloveño unique, would deal in unparalleled conference theme of "bulls and civil war."

THE SHIELD OF THE REPUBLIC (III)

Detail Plate Gate Street America Menendez Pelayo, where we find a Republican shield Madrid. (Click on any photo to enlarge).


THE SHIELD OF THE REPUBLIC (III)

RETIREMENT

Madrid is a city full of places with history, although in many cases this is not public knowledge, along with them wander. Perhaps the most enlightening of all this are the monuments erected in memory and tribute to a character, or commemorating an episode or event in the past. These monuments can be of great magnificence and aesthetic beauty, or of great modesty, as in the case of memorial plaques or single entries. But if there is something that they always called me the attention, is the fact that in many occasions, I have no knowledge of who the character or that the event which is behind the origin of the monument. How many times walking down any street we saw a plaque that such could be read "Here lived Dr. Tal and Pascual," and we are left with doubt, or in complete ignorance of who and what was this doctor merit for his name to be remembered. Fortunately, in these times of digital photography and the Internet have popularized and democratized both the photograph and knowledge with minimal cost, when you stroll through soil Madrid always carry a camera, or the phone itself, or else pencil and paper and if ever any of these plaques or monuments called my attention, I take references same and when I get home I look for information on who was this character or that's what happened in the episode mentioned, an experience that sometimes produces very pleasant surprises and I recommend readers do Sol and Flies.

Monument to the Fallen Angel in The Retreat opened in 1885, sculptor Ricardo Bellver Madrid, one of the few public sculptures, perhaps the only central theme is the devil in the world.

Parks are some places because of its characteristics, we can find a greater number of these monuments, and if there is a playground for excellence in Madrid, that is none other than El Retiro. This park has a long and fascinating history of its own behind them, which I recommend you try to know who would write several books and inside there are a large number of monuments dedicated to the most diverse characters and episodes, look if you will large variety of characters that these monuments are dedicated, in the Retiro find a monument dedicated to the Devil himself, something that happens in very few places on earth. Interpreted in any way any information that is behind each of these monuments, walking through El Retiro can take a tour of not only the history of Madrid, if not by that of Spain.

Álvarez Quintero brothers, indirect protagonists of this chronicle.

If the history of El Retiro could write several books, that would leave behind many other monuments. Today I want to talk about one in particular, which somehow connects this park in Madrid with bullfighting. I refer to the monument to the brothers Alvarez Quintero.
Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero are two writers of Seville, Utrera particular to coauthor a number of works, most notably all theatrical comedies, most of them acclimated in Andalucia. From the literary point of view his work does not provide much in the opinion of many critics, but what nobody can deny is the fact that these two brothers and his work achieved a tremendous reputation and popularity in the first third of the twentieth century.

Back of monument to the brothers Alvarez Quintero, located in El Retiro.

The monument to the Alvarez Quintero was opened in the middle Republic, on December 2, 1934, both being alive, a fact that gives the true measure of its popularity, Serafin pass away in Madrid during the civil war in in 1938 and his brother in 1944 also this city. The monument by sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Seville also to pass away during the creation of this monument in 1932, which would end his son Frederick Coullaut that the project would take only 19 years. Both father and son are the authors of notable groups of sculptures can be found in Madrid and elsewhere, as a monument to Cervantes in the Plaza of Spain, among others. The architectural part of the monument is composed of a stone bench in a semicircle in the center under an arch formed over several columns, we found the sculpture, also in stone, a woman who opens onto a balcony, in which foreign is a bronze equestrian statue of a jockey suit greets camper Andalusian women in the balcony, no doubt in tribute to one of the many comedies of manners of the authors inspired by his native Andalusia. Under the feet of the woman found a marble bas-relief on the faces of the brothers. The monument beyond its ornamental function, also had a social and cultural role, as both sides of that bas-relief, were two niches where the visitor could find a small library with books in the works of the brothers Alvarez Quintero, and sit and read comfortably on the stone bench. These libraries in public places was common during the Republic, who devoted much effort to the cultural diffusion among the most popular classes in the same park structures still survive in some of these small libraries outdoors. At present, these niches are empty and the doors closed, and can you imagine what would be the fate of books in these times.


Álvarez Quintero brothers pose in front of the monument a few days of his inauguration. The left-coated, as it should be. Looking

documentation of this event in the file of the sun and I've encountered Flies a monumental and chronic vibrant signed by a journalist named Peter Massa I can not fail to mention. That prose gentlemen readers, who use the verb, that mastery of the language of Cervantes. That if they were journalists ladies and gentlemen and not juntaletras we have now, let me transcribe a single paragraph on the memorial: Monument huge, genuine trace of English, worked around the living rock, torn from most traditional quarries of our spirit, and soaked, the vane to the foundation, a salt oozing, grace and joy as you may not find him in one. " How about dear readers?, Do I have right or wrong?. I must confess that reading this review I show integrated then there have been times that somehow driven by an invisible spring, I built my seat and my throat has left a resounding "ole" to enjoy reading paragraphs of this great journalist, or better than a journalist, this unparalleled artist. That art masters, but that art ...

Colossal vibrant chronicle of a journalist from the truth, those before, not like now mindundis, decidacda the inauguration of the monument. We strongly advise readers to read friends (click on image to enlarge) so that all can appreciate their art.

Today I speak also of a collective and numerous popular bullfighting in his time but will gradually decline is undoubtedly due to the emergence of bullfighting schools, I am referring to the valise. The figure of the valise generally responded to a rural girl, usually no or very basic training, from very poor families that often exceeded the threshold of poverty. These young people, sometimes almost children, were poured into the streets almost always with all his belongings gathered in a bundle hanging from a stick over his shoulder, the only hope and aim to succeed in the world of bullfighting. Heirs of a rogue form of the Golden Age, wandered hither and thither in search of amateur and corral where they were allowed to take a few passes. His life was filled with penalties and not without great risks, like going at night in wild cattle farms to fight at the moonlight, or jump into the ring in the middle of a run to a pass and looking for someone from the public take notice of them, as in the case of Florentino Ballesteros we met in our previous review. Most of the time their adventure ended in failure, if not tragic, but there are many cases where getting succeed and become someone in the world of bullfighting and attained fame, wealth and social recognition eg cases of Palomo Linares and El Cordoba. As I say was a figure closely tied to poverty and insecurity, and it was very common to find these characters in the hard years of Franco's iron and after the war.

torero who boasts all want to succeed in Madrid, and this city also exerted an irresistible attraction for the valise, with the final destination of many. In Madrid there were several points where these excited youngsters gathered to practice their hobby, and the monument to the brothers Alvarez Quintero was one of them. Perhaps her semi-circular structure that resembled a ring, perhaps by the evocation of Andalusia, the birthplace of many them and closely associated region bullfighting, or may be that the rider in his suit camper, or who knows why, the fact is that on any day of the year could see them practicing bullfighting games, simulating sets while another teammate was a bull, practicing the different countries and lots composing the figure as his mind pictured the stands packed cheering their sensational sets and dreamed of winning. Currently

the romantic figure of the valise has virtually disappeared due to a combination of several causes, from the general economic level rise to the appearance of bullfighting school where to channel these early vocations without forgetting that even though many of bullfighting is slowly disappearing and there are other ways of achieving social success and recognition, now children no longer want to be matadors now want to be air traffic controllers.

A practicing bullfighting games valise.


In a park that holds so much history as is the park of El Retiro, material witnesses could not miss the period of the Republic and the Civil War, including a shield Republican and traces of the fighting, present in many places and buildings in Madrid and available to any seasoned observer passing through the streets of this city.

As we have said El Retiro is a park with a long and interesting history behind it, since the seventeenth century until today have been countless episodes and events that have taken place in this emblematic place, many events of great importance and more modest in many cases may go unnoticed. Today we will refer to one of the latter, an episode so inconsequential as the opening of a new gateway to campus.

The year was 1932 and was mayor of the city Pedro Rico, which also occupied the position to place the military coup of July 1936 and beginning the Battle of Madrid in November 1936. At that time, Franco's army arriving at the gates of the capital, the Government decided, not without controversy, moved to Valencia and with the Government a number of people, including the Mayor of Madrid. The car he was riding was stopped at a checkpoint at the height of Tarancón and militiamen realize that it was the Mayor of Madrid, after reproach his cowardice, he was forced to turn around and return to the capital, to share penalties of all local citizens. The Mayor returned, but not to get back in front of City Hall, and upon arrival took refuge in an embassy from where depart into exile some time later. In a future review I will tell the fortunes and adventures of this "Gallardón" Republican, who as you all can imagine and is closely related to the world of bullfighting, not in vain Pedro Rico who inaugurated the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas Holy Spirit, as you could read the first installment chronicling the Shield of the Republic.

The Gateway to America as seen from outside the park on the street Menéndez Pelayo.

But back to 1932. On that date the Widening of Madrid had already consolidated and between Menéndez Pelayo and had built Esquerdo Doctor and a number of buildings where they lived many locals. To facilitate access to these new neighbors, the City would open in Menéndez Pelayo, at the height of Menorca a new access road to the park, which was much celebrated by the grateful residents. Therefore, a few months later the neighbors agreed to pay out of pocket an artistic plaque commemorating this happy event, to give it to the City of Madrid. As recorded by the ABC newspaper in its edition of April 6, 1933, the day before a large committee of neighbors of the new neighborhood of Menéndez Pelayo traveled to the Casa de la Villa to hand the mayor of Madrid in a plate intended recently opened the door at the Retreat. The plaque had been made in bronze by artist Julio Vicent and paid for by the residents themselves "a sign of gratitude for opening the door of America, which gives access to retirement and much shorter way to the center of the town ". The plaque and under the shield is an inscription in gold letters embossed with the following: "THE CITY OF 1932 OPENING according your neighborhood residents."

Detail of the door plate crown, a gift from neighbors in 1932 the City of Madrid.

Fortunately, this board has been preserved, and today we can see if we approach this beautiful park in Madrid. Also, in the same park gate, down a little to the Hospital del Niño Jesus, we can envisage a series of impacts, more or less just across the street Ibiza, of which we have yet to determine its origin, do not know if they come the explosion of a projectile during the Civil War either belong to the era of the War of Independence, let us not forget that the retreat was the place chosen by Napoleon to house its troops, and that the neighbor can Puerta de Alcalá also noted that impacts contest.

View of the neighboring Puerta de Alcalá, where we see a number of impacts produced during the War of Independence.


Section of the wall and gate of the park on the street Menéndez Pelayo with a number of impacts, which know their origin.

Retreat keeps us in some other surprises that will discuss in a forthcoming review. Meanwhile here I leave a photograph reader sent me a friend and says it is a shield that is located in El Retiro, although does not know his exact location. I gave a tour of the park in search of this relic, but was unsuccessful. I would appreciate it if some of you know his location, or strolling through the park find it, do the favor of leaving a comment on this blog stating your location. Thank you very much in advance.
