Homenaje al Che

Che Guevara was born in Argentina 80 years ago. There are posters all over the place announcing this and numerous events are planned in tribute to him.



This
website has full details and some interesting video footage. Judging by the amount of Che material in the bookshops and kiosks here he is still very popular. One can buy Che calendars, t-shirts, magazines and a shed load of books.

There is an imposing Catalan cultural centre across the road from my language school. It flies the European, Calalan and Argentine flags. No sign of a Spanish flag.
