Barcelona’s lost metro stations

Trevor @ Friday October 31st 2008 09:53

Estacions fantasmes del metro de Barcelona (via Dani@Altres Barcelones) has got some great contemporary photos, digital reconstructions and historical material.

The one thing I find curious is that, as with lots of Spanish websites, sourcing is vague and intellectual property appear not to be an issue. While one part of the Spanish blogosphere suffers periodic attacks of outrage at plagiarism in the traditional media, another more substantial part devotes considerable energies to reproducing copyright material without permission. Conflict with law and practice is quite normal in Spain, but I still find it curious.

    I think this plagiarism thing is pretty standard online. A lot of people seem to believe that once published, content becomes public domain. Not true, of course, but this feeling is most certainly not an oddity of Spanish bloggers.

    Tempestad marina en las costas de Barcelona, donde se hunde un barco procedente de GĂ©nova y fallecen 60 personas.

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 18 de març de 1918 Aquest matĂ­, al safareig del jardĂ­, he vist la primera oreneta de l’any. L’ocell era al cantell de pedra del dipòsit, molt a la vora de l’aigua, i tractava, amb grans dificultats, de beure’n una gota. A la tarda, en passar per davant de l’esglĂ©sia, les orenetes xisclaven volant, descrivint circumferències molt amples, al voltant del [...]
  • 18 de març de 1919 Nit. Em quedo sol a la cambra de la dispesa. VigĂ­lia del meu sant. Recordo que molts anys enrera, a Palafrugell, en tal nit com aquesta, passaven colles d’homes per les cases que cantaven els goigs. «Sed, JosĂ©, nuestro abogado – en esta vida mortal» –deien. Perfectament. Hom els donava mitja dotzena d’ous i se’ls havia [...]
