On Sunday, it is pleasant to stroll through the market in the Plaza del Cabildo in Seville; or Thursday for Feria Street Thursday. I stopped in front of the many stands that contain many medals and asked: do you have them from the Civil Guard? Yes, look, there are a few. Not only are medals available in the stores near the Cathedral and in Madrid, around the Plaza Mayor, in addition to cups of coffee with milk, there are some to offer and give away. Many medals are distributed, but there are people who don’t have any and who buy them; because after the first appreciation, by necessity or because their heirs give up gossip to make room, there is a market. Even in life, the deserving holders of such great distinctions no longer see any use in them.
If cell phones had reels, there would be countless of them with requested and then unwanted photos in the landfills near Real de las Saraos. Cell phone photos are also a bit like medals, you hang them up and show them off, but you would like to get rid of them for other reasons.
