THE BEST OF 2010 
BEST OF 2010
Dear fellow readers,
We reached the end of this year, which will be remembered among other things by the publication of the glorious first chronic SOL AND FLIES. 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

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
During the past there were a series of sensational refereeing errors that might have influenced the outcome of some games. In this review we see how it has been commonplace in the history of the sport, although sometimes been caused by pressure as in the case of Mussolini. Also discover how the Battle of Stalingrad, could decide a World Cup final.
Saramago, Bailong, LEGION CONDOR AND THE THIRTEEN ROSES. The writer Saramago, a fervent anti-bullfighting, died in Lanzarote begin shortly after the summer. Collect the views of this great author on the run, and once treated the topic of death, we visited some of the crap game where lie both bullfighters as combatants of the civil war and reprisals in Madrid's Almudena Cemetery.

Cagancha, HEMINGWAY, CRISTIAN HERNANDEZ AND "scary."

France would also most numerous group of International Brigades.

OF AUSTRIAS Mourinho.
The Habsburg dynasty was closely linked to neighboring Portugal, becoming united the two nations during the reign of Philip II. The Iberianism is a social power which advocates the union of two states, something even unrealistic even with the fervent backing of such prominent figures as the writer José Saramago. Madrid president Florentino Pérez, the Iberian with signings such as Ronaldo and Mourinho.

a frightening CORNER.
Julio Aparicio The right-hander suffered a frightening gored in the Feria de San Isidro entering it on the outside of the chin out of his mouth. In the spring of 1937 Jesus Martinez de Aragon, died in Madrid when a bullet struck him in the mouth also. In the article we review both events, accompanied by a chilling text Zugazagoitia Julian.

cut the ponytail.
The queue is a symbol bullfighter since time of the gladiators, and cutting means abandoning the profession. In this review we look at the history of this tradition and moved to the siege of the Alcazar of Toledo, where some fighters dramatize this rite with tragic consequences, as seen in an impressive graphic documentation that accompanies the article.

EGYPTIAN OPERA. Excellent Florentino chronic Sanders, undoubtedly one of the most collected and best braided from this pen, which tells in detail how the task of developing Moncloveño in Blanquerna Zubi and ending in a resounding victory both right-handed, a task that will undoubtedly go down the history of this noble art.
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."
