[Leica] Nathan's PAD 23/2/2013: l'Espagne profonde

[j2m46 at hotmail.fr (Jean-Michel Mertz)]

I am not that familiar with what l'Espagne profonde would look like but 
these two pictures translate the idea perfectly, specifically the first one. 
"Regarder la France profonde dans les yeux ...", a thing any serious 
politician in this country is - vainly - trying to do to get a good share of 
the votes! Maybe this is also true of Spain? Anyway, the tale of two worlds, 
the rural vs. the urban, is I think still true today - and the gap is 
widening. Thanks for sharing this!JM
