Two Catalan Flags

IMG_2926

In the interest of balance ,and because I said I would ( see the previous post Two Spanish Flags ),here is  the Catalan flag.

Well, two of them to be precise. Perfectly balanced then…

The flags fly in Barcelona as a political statement in an age old pursuit of freedom from Spanish governance and of an independent Catalunya.

Very interesting  to observe firsthand (and get caught up in at times) the recent separatist unrest there.

But, regardless of politics, the Catalan flag wins over its national rival in terms of simplicity and sheer drawability.

Both however, are the bold and vibrant designs and symbols of proud peoples.
