2026 marks the centenary of Ernest Hemingway's novel ‘The Sun also Rises', which brought Pamplona's San Fermín festival international fame. Yet beyond its place in Hemingway's iconic novel and the yearly international news reports of tourists injured or even dying in the running of the bulls, the fiestas of San Fermín has also served as a symbolic battleground in Navarre's unresolved identity conflict. As the capital of Navarre, Pamplona sits at the intersection of two competing national projects: Basque nationalists regard the region as an inseparable part of the historic Basque homeland, while Navarrese regionalists and Spanish unionists insist on Navarre's distinct political identity and institutions. Every July, those rival visions spill into the festival through disputes over flags, language, official ceremonies and the public symbolism of the encierro. Today on Sobremesa Podcast we look to go beyond the cliches and instagram posts generated around Sanfermin and look at its deeper cultural, historical and political significance. To do so, I am joined once again by Tulane University's Brittany Kennedy - an expert in Basque culture. If you like what we are producing and want to keep the podcast sustainable, please consider donating to our buy me a coffee page. The link is the show notes. Okay, I hope you enjoy my interview with Brittany.

En el episodio de hoy viajamos hasta Pamplona para descubrir los Sanfermines, una de las fiestas más famosas del mundo. Te contamos de dónde viene su nombre, quién fue San Fermín, por qué la gente se viste de blanco y rojo y en qué consisten los encierros. También comentaremos la parte polémica de la fiesta relacionada con el maltrato animal.

Ocurrió hace exactamente diez años. La madrugada del 6 al 7 de julio de 2016, durante las fiestas de San Fermín, en un portal de Pamplona, cinco hombres violaron a una chica de 18 años. La perseverancia de aquella joven a lo largo del tiempo inspiró a miles de mujeres –y muchos hombres–, que salieron a la calle en masa para apoyarla y en rechazo a las decisiones judiciales que se sucedieron. Aquel caso mostró las costuras del sistema y de nuestra sociedad, y cambió la historia de la violencia sexual y del feminismo en España.

As Pope Pope Leo XIV prepares for his visit to Valencia, one of Spain's greatest religious mysteries is once again back in the spotlight: the search for the true Holy Grail. And surprisingly, Spain has not one… but two famous chalices, both believed by some historians and believers to be the authentic cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper.The best known contender is kept inside Valencia Cathedral. Known as the Holy Chalice of Valencia, this small dark red agate cup has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. Tradition says Saint Peter took it from Jerusalem to Rome, where early Christians protected it during periods of persecution. Later, during the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century, the relic was secretly moved across northern Spain, hidden in monasteries deep in the Pyrenees before eventually arriving in Valencia in the 1400s.What makes this grail especially fascinating is that several Popes, including Saint John Paul II and Benedict XVI, have actually used it during Mass. While the Vatican has never officially confirmed it as the authentic Holy Grail, historians agree that parts of the cup date back to the time of Christ.But Valencia is not alone. In the city of León, inside the ancient Basílica de San Isidoro, another chalice challenges Valencia 's claim. Known as the Chalice of Doña Urraca, researchers created worldwide headlines after suggesting it may also have travelled from Jerusalem through Egypt before reaching medieval Spain through royal alliances and Christian kingdoms.Faith, history, politics, and legend all collide in these mysterious cups. Whether authentic or not, Spain has become one of the world's most unexpected guardians of one of Christianity's greatest legends.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Welcome back to Spanish Loops, the podcast where we untangle the complex, beautiful, and often turbulent threads of Spanish history, culture, and identity. I'm Jorge, and alongside Fran, we are stepping away from the sun-drenched beaches today to wander into the stormy landscapes of the human intellect.Today, we are dedicating our journey to a man who was a walking contradiction, a restless soul, and arguably the most provocative thinker Spain has ever produced: Miguel de Unamuno.He wasn't just a philosopher or the rector of the prestigious University of Salamanca; Unamuno was a lifelong rebel, a fierce non-conformist who looked at the fracturing Spanish society of the 1920s and 30s and refused to stay silent.As Spain teetered precariously on the edge of a devastating Civil War, Unamuno found himself caught in a violent political crossfire. He famously clashed with dictators, monarchs, and ideologues of every stripe. He was a man who weaponized the written and spoken word, a thinker who believed that to live was to doubt, and to doubt was to be alive. In this episode, we are discuss his agonizing political evolution from his forced exile under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera to that fateful, legendary day in October 1936. Inside the ceremonial halls of Salamanca, surrounded by armed fascist soldiers, he boldly stared down brutality and uttered his immortal defence of intelligence against brute force.We'll explore the heavy price he paid for his intellectual independence, his deeply agonizing existential struggles, and how his legacy still mirrors the soul of modern Spain. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a psychological thriller about a man who chose truth over safety. So, adjust your dials, settle in, and let's loop into the defiant mind of Miguel de Unamuno.

In our fourth episode celebrating the centenary of The Sun Also Rises, we examine the theme of religion and its role in the novel.From the title, the epigraphs, the pilgrims on the train, Jake's self-conscious prayer, the festival of San Fermín, and the idea of fishing as a religious experience, Larry Grimes guides us through this vast topic and shows Hemingway's religious design in The Sun Also Rises. Grimes also discusses the minor roles of Harris and Montoya and explains why Jake is such a rotten Catholic.Listening to Larry Grimes talk about such a crucial topic in this great novel is our idea of a divine pleasure. We hope you'll enjoy it, too!Also, in these Sun Also Rises episodes, we enjoy the legendary actor William Hurt reading from Jake's fascinating prayer in chapter 10, courtesy of our friends at Simon & Schuster Audio.Audio excerpt courtesy of Simon & Schuster Audio from The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, read by William Hurt.

Frédéric Chopin wasn't just a composer. He was a fragile genius wrapped in elegance, intensity, and quiet rebellion. Born in 1810, he grew into one of the most poetic voices in music, avoiding grand stages and instead choosing intimate salons where emotion mattered more than applause.By the late 1830s, his life took a dramatic turn when he met the bold and unconventional George Sand. She was everything society wasn't ready for: a woman who wore men's clothes, smoked cigars, and perhaps most shocking, published under a male pseudonym to be taken seriously in a man's world. Their connection? Immediate, intense, and complicated.In 1838, chasing health and hope, they escaped to Mallorca, settling in the haunting monastery of Valldemossa Charterhouse. What was meant to be a Mediterranean healing retreat quickly turned into a beautiful disaster. The weather turned cold and damp, locals grew suspicious of their unconventional relationship, and Chopin's already fragile lungs worsened under the humidity.He coughed, weakened, and likely battled tuberculosis, yet in that same suffering, something extraordinary happened. Chopin composed some of his most iconic works, including the haunting Preludes, where you can almost hear the rain echoing through stone walls.Meanwhile, Sand became more than a lover: she was caretaker, protector, and emotional anchor. She managed the chaos, fought social rejection, and later immortalized the experience in her book “A Winter in Majorca”.But even strong women have limits. Their relationship, which lasted nearly a decade, slowly cracked under emotional strain, illness, and growing distance.Chopin left Mallorca weaker in body, but richer in music. He died young, at 39, but his legacy? Just Eternal.A love story, a health struggle, and a winter that changed music forever.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Hola Chicos! Welcome back to Spanish Loops! Today we talk about one of the most beautiful and honestly, unique traditions in Spain: Sant Jordi in Catalonia.So… who is Saint George? Picture this: a brave knight, a terrifying dragon, and a princessabout to meet her fate. According to the Catalan version of the legend, Saint George slays the dragon and from the dragon's blood, a red rose blooms, which he gives to the princess. And just like that… a symbol of love is born.Fast forward a few centuries, and that legend transforms into something magical.Every April 23rd, Catalonia celebrates Sant Jordi, its patron saint, with streets filled with books and roses everywhere. Think of it as a mix between Valentine's Day and World Book Day, but with way more soul. Traditionally, men gave women roses, and women gave men books, but today, everyone gives bothto everyone. It's about love, culture, and connection.Now here's where it gets even more interesting: the book tradition didn't come from the legend, it was added much later. In 1929, a literary initiative in Barcelona promoted reading, eventually aligning with April 23rd, the symbolic date linkedto literary giants like Cervantes and Shakespeare.So, what you have today is a perfect fusion: Love from the legend and Culture from literature.And trust us, if you've ever walked through Barcelona on that day, it's unforgettable.By the way, Jorge has already captured this magic in a special video on his YouTube channel during a Sant Jordi celebration; the name of his channel is Traveling with Jorge in YouTube. Don't miss it… it brings everything we're talking about to life.Because Sant Jordi isn't just a tradition… it's a feeling.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Welcome back to Spanish Loops. This week, we take on a subject that is as uncomfortable as it is essential: slavery. Not just the version most people immediately associate with the Atlantic world, but a deeper, broader reality that stretches across civilizations and centuries.Slavery has existed since the earliest organized societies. In places like Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome, enslaved people were part of the economic and social fabric, building empires, serving elites, and sustaining entire systems of power. Across the Islamic world, including Al-Andalus, slavery also played a significant role, often tied to war, trade, and cultural exchange.But as always, here on Spanish Loops, we zoom in on Spain. The story becomes even more complex when we reach the turning point marked by Portugal reaching East and conquering territories in Africa, and Christopher Columbus's first voyage. From that moment, Spain became another player in a global network that would redefine slavery forever... The transatlantic slave trade.Alongside powers like Portugal, France and United Kingdom, Spain helped shape a system that forcibly moved millions of Africans to the Americas. Enslaved labor fuelled economies, built cities, and left scars that are still visible today. Yet within this harsh reality, there were also stories of resilience and transformation, individuals who rose from enslavement to become influential figures in society, challenging the very systems that bound them.This episode doesn't shy away from the human cost. It explores the moral contradictions, the economic motivations, and the cultural legacies that still echo in modern Spain and beyond. Because understanding slavery isn't just about looking back, it's about recognizing how history shapes identity, inequality, and memory today.Learn, reflect, and question what you thought you knew. In this episode will take you on a journey across time, continents, and perspectives. This is not just history. This is a conversation we still need to have.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.wordpress.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Hola Chicos, welcome back to Spanish Loops. This week, we're stepping inside one of the most structured, fascinating systems in the world: the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. You've seen the titles: Pope, bishop, priest, but what do they actually mean? And more importantly… Why is it all organized this way?Let's break it down, simple and clear.At the very top, you have the Pope. Think of him as the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics worldwide. But this isn't just about authority, it's about unity. The role exists to keep the Church connected, consistent, and guided under one vision.Then comes the bishops. These are the ones in charge of entire regions, called dioceses. They're like the bridge between the global Church and local communities. Their job? Oversight, teaching...Below them, priests. These are the people you actually see every week celebrating Mass, guiding communities, being present in everyday life. They're the closest link between the Church and the people.And yes, there are more layers... Archbishops, Cardinals..., but here's the key idea: this structure isn't random. It's been shaped over centuries to maintain order, preserve tradition, and allow the Church to function on a global scale without losing its local connection.So why this hierarchy? Because when an institution spans continents, cultures, and centuries, structure becomes essential. It's not just about power: it's about responsibility, continuity, and identity.By the end of this episode, you won't just know who's who. You'll understand why it all works the way it does.Let's Loop in.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.wordpress.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Pamplona's Running of the BullsThis week, host Max Hartshorne takes you inside one of Europe's most intense and iconic travel experiences: the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. With insight from Pamplona resident Losu Values, we explore what it really takes to watch the event—not just survive it—and how first-time visitors can actually understand what they're seeing.Most travelers arrive with a cinematic image in mind: bulls charging, runners sprinting, adrenaline everywhere. But the reality is more layered. The route changes character from section to section, and your experience depends entirely on where you stand and how early you prepare.We break down the difference between street-level and balcony viewing, explain why timing and geography matter more than chaos, and explore how the rhythm of the morning builds long before the bulls are released. Losu explains how locals read the route, anticipate the movement, and choose their vantage points with precision. We also quote a friend of Max's who has been to the San Fermin festival 48 times, every year since 1976, he explains what he loves so much.You'll learn why the run lasts only a few minutes but requires hours of preparation, how the old town's compact layout can confuse even seasoned travelers, and why clarity—not proximity—is the key to a memorable experience.Whether you're planning your first trip to San Fermín or just curious about what it's really like to be there, this episode gives you the insider's view of Pamplona's most famous morning.Listen now on the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, hosted by Max Hartshorne.
