Valladolid -> Palencia -> Valladolid

against especulation - SQUAT / The fight is the path - Social Revolution

In the morning i participated in the house assemblea (meeting) to talk about the next working weekend and devide some tasks, nice to see such an organized (even too much?) assemblea, some of the starters of the project were involved in the CNT, the spanish anarchist union, and that is noticable in some organizing detailsThe drugs destroy your life and your fight - reinvent your fun: Destroy the state

After i prepared some materials for the working days with muli and visited some bikeshops in valladolid to repair yo's bike.

for a world free of GMOs

In the night, by car :s, we went to palencia to participate in a talk about squatting, presented by a known lawyer in squatting court cases, interesting and motivating talk...
Before returning home we went out for a beer in palencia with peke and goyo...

Casa Del Vento

in the afternoon Giovanna, another Casa Del Vento habitant, arrived from a trip and I went with her to a party of some friends in a funny house (an historical house in the hills, where some antifascists planned the last battle to throw fascists out of Firenze during the 2WW)
There I meet a really interesting girl, Ines, and as the only other foreigner in the party we talked a lot, she just returned from Sri Lanka after some time of voluntary work there :), sadly we didn't keep each others contact (too much wine :p)...
After me and giovanna went to CPA (Centro Popolare Autogestito) a (strange) comunist social center where we meet Dorotea and others in a reggae party...

Communists really don't hide their authoritarian spirit....

Nice evening meeting nice people....

València

Waked up early to go to a solidarity protest in a prison near Valencia, to give some music to the prisoners, people arrested just for being poor! It's quite obvious the inefficiency of a prison and that inequality provokes delinquency
We march around the prison with a sound system and there was a live concert for the prisoners from the outside... we received some positive reaction from inside ;)
In the night I went to the center to the popular party...there is people everywhere and lots of fireworks... then i met Alba, a girl who participated in GAIA meetings sometimes when she lived in Porto...really nice to meet known faces so far away from home ;)

Alcoy

"nature protects you, protect the nature back"

Wake up early and went with Jahlilah to get wood in the mountain, El Potro tries to be a self-sustainable project, has some solar energy (and a mini-wind generator for soon), lots of vegetables planted, fresh water and wood from the mountain around...

Dry toilet with a nice view :D

At noon I walk with Jahlilah to the center, we went to a juggling workshop where i learned to cycle a monocycle (only few meters and after a hour of training :p..) with a 13 years old kid...

After we met Sandra and went to visit CSO Cals Flares in risk of eviction, they have a really nice library and a great space...

We had dinner and then went to CSO El Molinar for some punk/ska concerts...

Alicante -> Elche

After another night in Alan's house, Marta brought me and Matias back to Elche...

While waiting for Mabel in order to enter the house I stayed in Matias's house watching movies, a great one called Libertarias about the spanish anarchist revolution seen by the women perspective...

Later we went back to the park and I packed my things and made a goodbye dinner in Mabel's house ;)

Alicante -> Elche

We woke up early to arrange everything and store my bicycle, I decided to left it in Javi house and continue now for a while withou bicycle, as I'm meeting my mother for christmas in barcelona and don't have time to cycle there now...

By car, we went to the village of Javi to lunch and pass the day with Javi's family, really nice people and a wonderful place.
