Graffiti wars and views while out cycling

For no particular reason¹ I thought I’d share the views and graffiti I’ve seen while out cycling, enjoying semi-retirement, near Padul and Durcal. If you’ve been to Spain you’ll know there is plenty of graffiti on various themes to go along with the usual tagging and knob and balls. No doubt I’m misinterpreting some language.

On the outskirts of Durcal is Puente de Lata, The Tin Bridge. Apparently, imported from France when it proved to be too weak for traffic and trams. It’s for pedestrians and cyclists and spans Durcal Gorge. There has been at least one suicide. Also, other mishaps. If you like the thrill, you can try bungee-jumping there. On the bridge approach pillars is the graffiti ‘si tu saltas yo salto’. Poignantly, ‘if you jump I fall’, or maybe, ‘if you jump I jump’.

Dove, star of david = nazism, feminist disobedience, anarchy symbol, ee.uu = nazism (ee.uu means the USA), solidarity with the shipyards struggle.
