Sometimes I come across Tumblr blogs devoted to Spain but that won't talk about inside politics or history, just about the Mediterranean, the history of the state as a whole, and Spanish culture and food understood as Andalusian / Mediterranean.

I guess the bloggers - generally USAmericans -, even if they offer it as super informative and politically unbiased, want to write about the idea of Spain they have, not about Spain.

December 8, 2023 - Hundreds of people gathered in Guernica, Basque Country, to form a human flag in solidarity with the Palestinian people, as air raid sirens filled the air. The town of Guernica became symbol and a rallying cry against war crimes and the slaughter of civillians after German and Italian planes bombed the town for Franco's fascists in 1937, during the Spanish civil war, killing hundreds of innocent civillians.
