My ears got so hot listening to the commentary on the bus that I gave up on it.
As part of the trip we will be visiting the Falkland Islands (or Malvinas to the Argentines). It is very clear that feelings still run high about the war of 1982. Your Spanish does not have to be very good to understand this banner. (Well, Julia told me that it says that the Malvinas will be Argentine for ever)
After walking about in pushing 30 degrees C this afternoon we are back at the hotel for a shower before going out for dinner. Looks like barbecued beef could be on the menu...
It's even more emphatic: the Malvinas were, are and will be Argentinian. The next banner lets us know that the spilt blood will never be negotiated (for the sake of our dead brothers on the islands, in the ocean and on the continent). I really hope you don't have a Basil Fawlty-esque hotelier who "doesn't" mention the war...
