I've added subtitles to this video of @/cabrafotuda (Instagram, TikTok) and his lovely grandma cooking bollitori, a traditional dish from the Alacant area in the south of the Valencian Country.
This dish is typically eaten during the Holy Week, especially on Holy Thursday, since it's a humble food with no meat.

(ES) Alicante es uno de los 8 municipios de España (de 8131) donde está prohibido ir por la calle con el torso descubierto... en un municipio con playa, a más de 40 grados, con más del 90% de humedad, con sensación térmica superior a los 50 grados con la excusa de la convivencia... pero son prejuicios y son complejos religiosos fundamentalistas de base judeocristiana que tiene la derecha (en Alicante), los comunistas (en Barcelona) y los socialistas (en Valladolid).
(EN) Alicante is one of the 8 municipalities in Spain (out of 8,131) where it is forbidden to go down the street with a bare torso... in a municipality with a beach, at more than 40 degrees, with more than 90% humidity, with a thermal sensation above 50 degrees with the excuse of coexistence... but they are prejudices and they are fundamentalist religious complexes with a Judeo-Christian base that the right, the communists and the socialists have here.

El passeig li va fer pensar en el seu cap, tot i que hi havia més gent, sempre acabava parlant-se a si mateix fent-se tots els retrets imaginables.

el 25 de maig és l'aniversari del bombardeig del mercat central de la ciutat d'alacant durant la guerra civil, un bombardeig que va ser enfoscat per la narrativa franquista, però que va ser uns dels episodis més devastadors de la guerra civil. recordem-ho i que no es quede en el no res!
25th of May, 1938:
The Italian fascist aviation, who was backing Franco's Spanish fascist army in the Civil War, bombed the market of Alacant (Valencian Country).
The Italian fascist aviation had captured the island of Mallorca and was using it as a base from which to bomb all the Mediterranean coast of the Catalan Countries. During 1938, many cities, towns and even small rural villages were bombed, with indiscriminate attacks against the civil population.
The Alacant market bombing was one of the deadliest attacks in the whole war. Around 11:15am, between 7 and 9 Italian airplanes flew over the city and dropped about 90 bombs, some of which on the Central Market, which was full of people. It had been a deliberate attack against the civil population.
Around 300 people died and over 1,000 were injured.
The war was won by the fascists and they imposed a regime based on terror, where victims couldn't speak about what happen out of fear. While the fascist side's soldiers who died in the war were glorified and constantly remembered as the fighters of a holy Crusade, the victims of the fascist army and the dictatorship were erased from the narrative. The victims of the 1938 Alacant bombing were buried in a mass grave without a tombstone nor any sign of rememberance until 1995.
I took this picture going for a stupid walk for my stupid mental health. It was a foggy day in the bush. Sun was rising and there was a smell of wild rosemary and pine tree.
