Sardana and Catalan Separatism



This weekend there will be a communal "sardana" dance in Sant Feliu de Pallerols where I am living.  I have heard of this particular tradition in the past but have never seen one.

Here is the poster for the Sardana and another about Catalan separatism, the local sentiment to separate Catalonia (Catalunya in Catalá, Cataluña in Castilian Spanish) from Spain.  Such feelings are made all the more intense by the meltdown of the economy and the historic productivity of Catalans vis-a-vis the rest of Spain.
