Gijón

Um, and up in the Basque country, there was a great deal.

And then Asturias, there was a lot because of the mines up there and the, and the iron works in Oviedo and Gijon.

Um, yeah, it's, it's one of these things where you see that you see the patterns that show up elsewhere.

Um, and it's, it's just so tough because it's kind of, they had to go through it themselves.

Colonel Antonio Aranda, military commander at Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, pretended to uphold the Republic just long enough to send armed revolutionary mine workers marching away from the city, then called upon his soldiers and people to put an end once and for all to this era of innumerable crimes perpetrated under cover of a love for democracy and the Republic.

Colonel Antonio Pini-Pinilla, Pinilla, commanding the Samancas barracks at the Asturian port city of Gijón, kept the loyalty of almost all his thirty, three hundred and fifty men, rank and file, as well as officers, as he assembled them at barracks surrounded by armed, shouting, and blaspheming revolutionaries.

Totally isolated, he and his men were to hold the barracks against enormous odds for almost a month.

In the south of Spain, on that bloody day, the rising gained Córdoba in inland, north of Sevilla, but lost the port of Málaga.

Two-hour stoppages were called from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 16 ports.

Bilbao, Pasaya, Algeciras, Avilés, Barcelona, Valencia, Cádiz, Almería, Gijón, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Huelva, Las Palmas, Málaga, Santander, Seville, and Vigo.

Belgium.

In Antwerp, members of the BBTK Union joined the action.

What happened in Brazil will happen in Spain.

The global progressive turnaround has just begun, he wrote on X.

At a campaign event in Gijón, he declared, If Brazil can do it, Spain can too.

We are proud to be the Gallic village of Europe, a light of hope amidst so much shadow in the world.

So people are looking for other spots and this is one of them.

So getting to Gijón from Barcelona, you pretty much drive or fly.

There is a train, but I think you have to connect in Madrid.

Yeah, the

I'm glad that we tried to stay towards the front of the line because they didn't even...

Not everyone even fit on our bus.

But that bus, if you're going to Gijón, which we were, that bus goes from the airport and it goes to Aviles and then it goes to Oviedo.

So it takes a while, but it was really inexpensive and easy.

Yeah, go ahead.

Gijón away in the Chapi.

I was-- I mean, you've heard me say previously that I wasn't confident about this and it's just, it's a, it's a only losable game for us.

You know, even if we win, uh, it's, uh, it's kind of losing, isn't it? Because we will be expected to win.

But the rough weather burned more than he bargained for.

Now she has to bunker at the nearby port of Gijon.

low-grade ship fuel is the cheapest there is, 25 cents a liter.

It's only one refining grade above asphalt, thicker than tar.

So let me just put it out.

If I'm in Asturias or Gijon or in Malaga, as we talked about, or on the islands, the problem isn't mass immigration.

The problem is that you have an open border.

You have a deregulated housing market.
