One of unity over division, of peace over war.

Great (and useful) substack!
[Reading Vulcan Club instantly brings Atomic by Blondie to mind 😅]
To follow up on last week’s Substack featuring Trainspotting groundinghour.substack.com/p/the-relent... (and @mariogonzalez.es to revisit TS scenes) I decided to pass by the former location of the iconic Vulcan Club. Gone for a long time now, with new builds in its place instead.

Mi conclusión sobre las elecciones en #CyL es que los analistas políticos tanto en Madrid como en Barcelona no tienen ni idea de #CyL, su política y sus ciudadanos
Quién quiere ver la alfombra roja de los Oscar cuando puedes estar siguiendo el recuento de las elecciones en #CyL
