Here we are, the sixth week of Lent, more commonly known as Holy Week. The final Sunday of Lent is considered Palm Sunday, an echo of that triumphant entry of Christ Jesus into Jerusalem as he began the most significant week of his earthly mission. The Mother of God of the Bull, or as she is known to her Catalonian community of Olot : Mare de Dèu del Tura, will be our exploration for this time. Our Lady of Olot is of note for this last stretch of the Lenten journey, particularly due to one of the folk customs regarding her and the small children who are brought to her as they begin to walk.To receive updates on The Black Madonna 2025 Tourhttps://forms.gle/DpmFsv28SxyraM7k7To make a one time donation of any amount to support the podcast, please donate tohttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BlackMadonnaHeartBecome a Patron for the channel at https://www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaksTo purchase Black Madonna Speaks extra content, please visithttps://www.patreon.com/theblackmadonnaspeaks/shop#divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #virginmary #ourlady #blackmadonna #anthroposophy#spiritualjourney #camino #pilgrimage #mothermary #spirituality #spain #olot #camino

As the eldest of four brothers, his father expected him to be an example of academic achievement and bravado.This hardline approach slowly drove his father away from the family, though when it came time to say goodbye, Rafael saw an unexpected side of him.At the age of 17, when the wide world beckoned, Rafael left his home country without a backward glance, grasping with both hands the opportunity to become a professional dancer.After a last ditch attempt at becoming a choreographer, he received an email from Kylie Minogue. And the rest is history.This episode of Conversations contains discussions about Spain, Spanish, Catalonia, Catalonian, General Francisco Franco, Spanish history, small towns, villages, dancing, Fame, choreography, dance school, choreographers, London, Australia, Sydney, Sydney Dance Company, classical dance, music, theatre, performing arts, high school, homosexuality, gay, LGBTQIA, coming out, death, grief, artistic director, naked, nakedness, undressed, modern dance, contemporary dance.

Eleanor shares her experiences and reflections on working closely with social movement activists for over 20 years. She lives in a Catalonian mountain village, where the Ulex Project she works for runs training and capacity-building events for a wide range of social movements. Eleanor reflects on the changes she has witnessed in social movement activists over time, such as how the hope for big social change has decreased due to the poly-crisis and complexity of the world's challenges. Simon and Eleanor discuss how the ideology of neo-liberalism presents itself as TINA, ‘there is no alternative', which has been very effective in reducing expectations and diminishing the hope of change. Activists need to sustain and energise themselves, and Eleanor shares how Buddhism has helped her decenter her individualism, and expand her relationality to all beings. She shares how rock climbing provides her best leadership model, as when climbing there is total reliance on the leadership-followership relationship, and how the best plans get undone usually by nature intervening, forcing an emergent mindset. Bio Eleanor Moore is part of the Ulex Project core team that provides pan-European capacity-building support for social movements. Her role bridges facilitation, developing partnerships, governance, strategy, and programme evaluation. She is embedded in practices of distributed leadership, solidarity economy, and mutual care—a daily exploration of prefiguration. Before Ulex, Eleanor spent 10 years working across diverse social projects in the UK, such as housing, legal, and horticultural projects. These experiences and an immersion in critical theory in her early 20s led to an ongoing life exploration of the connections between the personal, the interpersonal, the socio-political, and the ecological. A climber of many years, she finds respite, sanctuary, and sense-making on high exposed ledges, hanging out with lichen and vultures, and connecting with the perspectives of the non-human world.
Ramón Espejo's book The Catalonian Journey of American Drama 1909-2000: From Jimmy Valentine to The Vagina Monologues (Legenda, 2024) delves into the fascinating journey of American drama in Catalonia, exploring how the theatrical output of a world superpower has impacted (and transformed) the stages of an allegedly minor actor in the cultural scene of the 20th century. Yet, while Catalonia is the birthplace of such geniuses as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí or Antoni Gaudí, it is also that of playwrights Joan Brossa, Manuel de Pedrolo, Fermín Cabal or Jordi Galcerán, among others. All of them grew up in, and imbibed, a theatrescape in which American borrowings were not only habitual (often the only foreign plays around) but inspiring and groundbreaking. If Alias Jimmy Valentine re-defined theatrical decorum in Catalonia in the early 1900s, The Vagina Monologues, in the 1990s, challenged prevalent sexual taboos. Throughout the 20th century, Catalonia went from a peripheral, marginalized region of a once vast empire to a booming and largely autonomous centre of culture, recognized all over the world and admired for its uniqueness and original artistic contributions. American plays accompanied, and often directly inspired, such a journey. Ramón Espejo is Full Professor of American Literature at the University of Seville, Spain, and is one of the leading American drama and theatre scholars in Europe. Learn more about your ad choices.

American plays accompanied, and often directly inspired, such a journey.

The many political lives of Slovakia's Robert Fico, Czechia plots its own course, a devastating week for Ukraine, and an AfD check. Also: Georgia's Foreign Agents Law, Catalonian election hangover, Turkish crime crackdown and a fashionable reimagining of the Balkans route.
Andrew Mueller explains how the most recent Catalonian elections show that voters' nationalist appetites may be waning. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As the dust settles on the SNP leadership question and the Cabinet reshuffle, the focus now shifts to what policies the Swinney government will pursue. Will it be a simple battle between "Left" and "Right"? Growth has been promised but what will this mean in practice and will there be a new openness to ideas outwith the usual lobbying suspects?Change under a changed Labour Party has been the mantra of the Starmer project. This change has been so dramatic that Natalie Elphicke, most definitely not a One Nation Tory, has crossed the floor of the House. A master stroke or a sign that Labour has abandoned all pretence of socialism? Meanwhile ,they've been outflanked by none other than Suella Braverman on scrapping the two child benefit cap, still support the disastrous "Right to Buy", long abandoned in Scotland, and have no plans to re-open safe routes for asylum seekers. Even their much heralded New Deal For Working People looks like being watered down even further.Anas Sarwar appeared on Good Morning Scotland this morning and was put on the back foot simultaneously opposing and defending UK Labour policies while justifying the parachuting of Labour candidates from the south of England into Scottish constituencies.Rishi Sunak in his keynote speech yesterday launched what looks like his first salvo in his re-election campaign. It went way beyond Project Fear and lurched into Project Panic. It painted a picture of a beleaguered country assailed on all sides by extremists including those 50% of us who support Scottish independence.It was a bad set of results for the parties supporting independence in the recent Catalonian elections. It marked a significant shift in Catalonia's political landscape, with the Socialists winning big and pro-independence parties losing ground.Lesley analyses the result, it's all a bit more complex than the British media would have us believe, and reflects on what significance they may have in a Scottish context.All this plus the usual malarkey and Eurovision. ★ Support this podcast ★

cheerful brunet with bright, smiling eyes, had embarked on a new adventure: to understand the Catalonian slang during a comedy show at the famous club "La risa Viva".Es: El catalán, un idioma con un toque particular que resonaba en las calles de la ciudad, seguía siendo un enigma para ellos.En: Catalan, a language with a distinctive touch resonating in the city streets, remained an enigma for them.Es: Con mapas y diccionarios catalán-español bajo el brazo, ambos partieron hacia la Rambla, el corazón palpitante de Barcelona.En: Armed with Catalan-Spanish dictionaries and maps, they set off

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Love and Flavors: A Paella Fusion in Barcelona Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/love-and-flavors-a-paella-fusion-in-barcelona Story Transcript:Ca: Sota el blau cel de Barcelona, Marta i Jordi deien paraules que els amics no solen dir. Els encorbatava una cuina i l'orgull. Jordi, un valencià de pura estirpe, defensava que la millor paella es feia a la seva terra natal. Marta, una catalana aferrada a les seves arrels, sostenia que la paella de Barcelona era incomparable.En: Under the blue sky of Barcelona, Marta and Jordi were exchanging words that friends don't usually say. They were united by a kitchen and pride. Jordi, a Valencian of pure lineage, argued that the best paella was made in his homeland. Marta, a Catalonian deeply rooted in her heritage, claimed that the paella from Barcelona was incomparable.Ca: Eren a la cuina de Marta, on la olor de romer i pebre vermell s'entremesclava. El sol de la tarda entrava per la finestra, espurnejant sobre el color brut dels rajols antics. En aquesta cuina, havien compartit somriures, tasses de cafè i converses sense fi. Mai s'havien vist amb cara de no estar-hi d'acord.En: They were in Marta's kitchen, where the scent of rosemary and red pepper mingled. The afternoon sun streamed in through the window, casting its glow on the weathered terracotta tiles. In this kitchen, they had shared smiles, cups of coffee, and endless conversations. They had never seen eye to eye before.Ca: Jordi se queixava, "La paella valenciana té un gust que no es pot imitar. Els ingredients, l'arrosset del delta, el sabor de la carn de conill... És autèntica! El secret rau en la manera en què es cuina."En: Jordi complained, "Valencian paella has a taste that cannot be imitated. The ingredients, the rice from the delta, the flavor of rabbit meat... It's authentic! The secret lies in how it is cooked."Ca: Marta, però, no estava d'acord. "A Barcelona, hi afegeixen pebrot vermell; li aporta un gust exquisit." D'un calaix, Marta treu una vella recepta de la seva àvia, escrita a mà sobre un pergamí esquerdà, "Ho veus? Aquesta és la millor paella. Té tot el que necessita per saciar l'apetit i l'emoció."En: Marta, however, disagreed. "In Barcelona, we add red pepper; it gives it an exquisite taste." From a drawer, Marta pulled out an old recipe from her grandmother, handwritten on a torn parchment, "See? This is the best paella. It has everything needed to satisfy the appetite and the soul."Ca: Jordi bufà. "El pebrot vermell! Has dit pebrot vermell? T'has passat quatre pobles! En una paella autèntica, Mai no s'hi posa pebrot. Ho he llegit en llibres, Marta."En: Jordi huffed. "Red pepper! Did you say red pepper? You've gone too far! A true paella never has red pepper. I've read about it in books, Marta."Ca: Ella retalbà, "Sí, Jordi. I com pots saber tu què és autèntic o no? Tots dos fem paella. Tots dos l'estimem. I tots dos som més que bons cuiners."En: She retorted, "Yes, Jordi. And how can you know what's authentic or not? We both make paella. We both love it. And we are both more than good cooks."Ca: El soroll de la ciutat deia que era l'hora de menjar. El sol de la tarda ja s'havia post. Després d'hores de batalla de paraules, Marta i Jordi es van mirar i van riure. Sabien que la disputa no tenia sentit. A l'encés d'un foc, la vivor dels ingredients, el bullici d'una cuina, hi havia una cosa que els unia més allà dels arguments; l'amor per la paella.En: The noise of the city signaled it was time to eat. The afternoon sun had already set. After hours of verbal sparring, Marta and Jordi looked at each other and laughed. They knew the argument was pointless. In the blaze of a fire, amidst the vivacity of ingredients, the bustle of a kitchen, there was something that united them beyond arguments; the love for paella.Ca: Així, aquell vespre, varen decidir cuinar una paella junts; una que barrejara la recepta de l'àvia de Marta i la tècnica de Jordi. El resultat? Deliciós. La paella tenia un toc de pebrot vermell, però també l'autenticitat del conill. Era una fusió de dos mons.En: So, that evening, they decided to cook a paella together; one that combined Marta's grandmother's recipe and Jordi's technique. The result? Delicious. The paella had a touch of red pepper, but also the authenticity of rabbit. It was a fusion of two worlds.Ca: A Barcelona, entre un valencià i una catalana, es cuinava una paella que més tard es faria famosa. Així, Marta i Jordi, malgrat la seva discussió, varen descobrir que no importa d'on es vingui. El que importa és que cuinar és una forma d'amor que uneix les persones. I, al final, totes dues paelles eren les millors. Cada una dins del seu món, però increïblement delicioses en el seu propi dret.En: In Barcelona, between a Valencian and a Catalonian, a paella was being cooked that would later become famous. Thus, Marta and Jordi, despite their disagreement, discovered that it doesn't matter where it comes from. What matters is that cooking is a form of love that brings people together. And in the end, both paellas were the best. Each in its own world, but incredibly delicious in its own right.

Morning Footy: A daily soccer podcast from CBS Sports Golazo Network
The MF crew discuss Xavier Hernández making his announcement that he'll be leaving Barcelona at the end of this campaign. However, Nico doesn't think he'll even make it that far. Rafael Márquez is already in the system and most likely would be next in line to fill the role at least in the short term. The team discuss all the potential next moves for franchise and why Xavi should have told the players before the announcement. Can Barca still somehow squeak out a top 4 finish?

Patriots in Spain are taking to the streets by the hundreds of thousands, in a show of massive defiance against what many are calling nothing short of a socialist coup! We're going to see exactly what's happening in cities all throughout the nation, precisely what led to it, and how it actually foreshadows the kind of clashes we can expect to see more of around the world in the not-so-distant future! Highlights: “Hundreds of thousands of protestors have taken to the streets in over 50 cities throughout the nation of Spain. For nearly the last 2 weeks, demonstrators have daily flooded the streets to demand the resignation of the socialist leftwing prime minister Pedro Sanchez who's currently trying to make a deal with Catalonian separatists in order for him to stay in power!” “With Sanchez coming across as treasonous, as selling out the unity of the nation for his own political power, now the Spanish people are rising up like never before!” Timestamps: [00:49] Massive protests in Spain demanding the resignation of the socialist leftwing PM Pedro Sanchez [05:36] What Sanchez is trying to do with the Catalan separatists [06:12] The Vox Party calls on all Spaniards to rise up against the socialists [07:37] Why we can expect to see more of this kind of clashes around the world in the not-so-distant future Resources: Help Mike beat the deep state and get the comfiest products on the market for the lowest prices yet with CODE: TURLEY!

If you've never heard of a bike bus—or a bicibús, as it's known in the Catalonian capital of Barcelona—it's a beautifully simple idea. Kids and parents ride their bikes to school along a pre-planned route, picking up classmates along the way, just the way a school bus would. Except because it's bikes, it's way, way more fun. Sarah and Doug rode along with bike buses in Barcelona and suburban Montclair, New Jersey, to see how it works, and we talked with organizer Sam Balto in Portland, Oregon, to find out why kids who ride with bike buses get to school feeling happy and energized. ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive access to ad-free versions of all our episodes, exclusive bonus content and stickers.*** This episode is produced with support from Radpower Bikes and Cleverhood.

My guest for this episode is Mireia Pujol-Busquets, and she's breeding the future of Catalonian grapes at her family's estate vineyard just outside of Barcelona, Spain, called Alta Alella. 27% of the organic vineyards globally are in Spain, making Spain the country with the most organic vineyards in the world, by area. Mireia grew up on a vineyard that was organic from its inception in 1991, but she wanted to go her own way and follow her fascination with science. So instead of viticulture and oenology, she studied Biology at university, and then had two unique experiences working with agriculture in Thailand and Switzerland. In Switzerland she got introduced to resistant hybrid grapes, piwis, and saw that if grapevines were allowed to reproduce sexually, instead of through cloning, they could evolve and adapt to the changes of nature. In contrast to the traditional vinifera grapes that her family grew organically – that needed to be constantly sprayed with copper and sulfur – she saw that grapes could be bred to need no sprays at all. As she looked to the legacy and the land that she would leave not only her children, but generations to come, she realized she needed to start the process of making viticulture something that improved the land, and as a farmer she saw the increasing need for more resistant and resilient vines that could survive in a rapidly more extreme climate. So Mireia has started a project to breed the traditional vinifera varieties of Catalonia to produce resistant varieties that preserve the culture of her land, but that can be farmed without sprays of any kind, and that can withstand the increasingly extreme weather conditions. Her project is called the Resistant and Autochthonous Varieties Adapted to Climate Change (VRIAACC, acronym in Spanish). With resistant varieties of grapes and the elimination of the need to spray, she will reduce compaction, reduce emissions, create a healthier environment for humans and animals working in and around the vineyard, and reduce losses due to fungal infestations. https://altaalella.wine/ Support this episode by subscribing via patreon.

With all the love to their loyal listeners and the upgrowing audience, Jorge and Fran wish you a happy listening about this chapter. Enjoy!

The recent English byelection results have thrown the possibility of a Labour government after the next general election into sharp relief.We examine those results and the messages both Labour and the Tories seem to be taking from,in particular,Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Will they both jettison their Net Zero commitments for short term political expediency?The Labour National Policy Forum,despite pressure from Unite and Momentum, endorsed Starmer's economic and social policies,rejecting,without a vote, amendments to abolish the two child benefit cap,institute a £15 per hour minimum wage, expand free school meals, and repeal anti-protest laws. Where,yet again, does this leave Scottish Labour? We also ask if Scottish Labour will stand up for the Scottish Parliament against attacks on its powers emanating from Labour Lord George Foulkes with support from the Conservative government?Chris Hanlon has,or has he,launched a bid to oust Humza Yousaf as leader of the SNP. What's behind the headlines and was his approach wise?The snap Spanish general election has resulted not in the predicted victory for the Right/Far Right but a hung parliament where "regional" parties could flex their muscle to secure significant concessions in return for supporting the return of a Socialist government. What could all this mean for Catalonian independence? ★ Support this podcast ★

Elsewhere, the team feast their eyes upon Catalonian murder mystery The Diplomat over on Alibi and nouveau Western Django on Sky Atlantic, plus mull over all the various TV tropes that give them the 'icks'.
