Cities you can visit on a day-trip from Madrid

If you are planning a Europe trip this summer and want to maximize your time by visiting as many cities as possible, check out my post on cities you can visit on a day trip from Madrid!!

Madrid is situated in the approximate centre of Spain, making it a convenient hub for travellers wanting to see as much of the country as possible. For international students, studying in Madrid offers students not only the opportunity to live in the capital city which is filled with easy transportation, amenities and cultural activities and events to explore, but also the priviledge of being…

Background

Hometown

Cayetana grew up in the wealthy neighbourhood in Madrid, Spain, with a wealthy family, close relatives of Spanish President Narváez at the time. Despite the glamour and splendour, the Spanish arisocracy was in declive and Cayetana knew that soon their wealth would not protect them. She always dreamt of going to university and always dresses as a boy and twice a week, escaped to the Complutense university. One day, a quarrel with her mother made her escape to Castile la Mancha, where a childhood friend helped her disguise as a boy and attend the University of Salamanca.

Family

Mother: Milagros Eugenia del Monte

Known fondly by her family as 'Milagritos', though she was not a warm mother, she did her best to raise Cayetana as her own woman. Her husband died due to being a potential replacer for President Narváez and was left a widow. After a big fight with Cayetana, where she called out her cross-dressing and unfairly told her that she was a lady and had only one duty which she'd fulfill, her daughter ran away and was never seen again. She only heard of her in 1919, when she wrote to her about her whereabouts and disowning her as a mother.

Father figure: Professor Juan Manuel Serrano Villanueva

A brilliant and ahead-of-his-time man, despite being neutral about what was called 'The Great War' or 'The Cousin's War', he was nevertheless interested in the outcome. He always suspected of Cayetana, who called herself Alejandro de las Mercedes. He always knew that there was something off about Alejandro, and when he caught her red-handed, he was not thrilled about being taken for a fool, but when calmed down, and seeing Caye's potential, made her his protegé and was the one to inspire her about espionage and partake in the war with her improved disguise skills. He sent a letter to her home, letting them know that she was fine and safe in professional hands. He and Caye shared a special bond, being the afther Caye always waited for.

Both women's personalities are rather similar, and despite having different morals, they become good friends during the war and quickly become close.

Lunas Avery ( @cursed-herbalist )

Cayetana started her spying shenanigans when her investigations got her to a mysterious man from TOWER and soon applied to TOWER to assess the threat and soon met Lunas, who from the start suspected of her, who wanted to pass as a man called Don Anselmo Flores, and even after she was caught, her skills impressed the superiors so that they kept her as a nurse. After her ploy was caught, it was Lunas who, during the night of the Somme, alongside other two friends, arranged an escape route for her that'd get her to Britain where she'd give them all the intel she had gathered.

Alexej Kavinsky

(STORY TBD)

Colm O'Shea ( @unfortunate-arrow )

During runaways, she came across Colm's team and she nursed his wounds, and both bonded over their dislike towards the British and their histories with them, and although their time was cut short, Caye and Colm were pen pals, often corresponding and inviting one another to their weddings and important events.

Rivals: TBD (open as well)

Trivia

On her time in Salamanca, she earned a degree in Law and Political Science

She was a suffragette and advocated for women's rights and girls' more thorough education that didn't limit itself to womenly chores

Her mother tried to lock her in an engagement several times, but she always acted like she was mentally unstable or being annoyingly obnoxious and thus scared off possible suitors

She is a polyglot: she speaks Spanish, English, Romanian, ancient and modern Greek, Latin, German, French, Portuguese and Russian, and is always looking forward learning new languages

The first five were learnt in her studies in Punto and the university, meanwhile the last four were learnt on the trenches and still struggles to write in Russian

She also knows Suffragitsu and self-defence by Don Juan

She also forcibly learned how to be a high-society lady in Europe and helped her weave in Germany, France and Russia

In the 1960s, she was offered a position as a teacher by the resisting and hidden republicans who wanted to educate the younger generations. It only lasted eight months, and she had to run away with the help of the northern Maquis to escape back to England, and would return when Juan Carlos I was crowned king and abolished the dictatorship and offered all the teachers a pardon, among them Cayetana.

[jackredfieldwasmyjacob]

just came across this map, i think it's quite interesting! it shows the identity sentiment of pertenance to a province / autonomous community by province, in brown-ish you have those provinces where the feeling is strongest, and in blue-ish those where the feeling is lowest.

the conclusions i can get while looking at it are

galicians, catalonians, basques and canarians are the ones with the highest regional identity. that should be no surprise, it makes a lot of sense as their cultures are the most distinct

all of castile has the lowest regional identity, which also kinda make sense i guess.

you can clearly see the two largest autonomic disputes in the country: guadalajara not feeling manchego (in fact i found this map on a tweet from someone from guadalajara demanding they secede from la mancha) and the old kingdom of león (león, zamora and salamanca) not feeling castilian.

andalusia is also quite interesting to me because you can clearly see the split between western and eastern andalusia. the west feels very andalusian, while the east not so much, especially almería.

the 'neutral' ones are the most interesting to me i think. i understand why madrid is like that, and i sorta get the balearic islands as well (people there tend to identify with their island and not the autonomy?), as well as murcia (people from cartagena would rather have a province of their own) but i have no clue about most of these

feel free to add your thoughts !!!

❤️ ranking all autonomic flags of spain ❤️

my expert opinion on all of the flags of spain. sometimes i know what the symbols mean sometimes i don’t — do not expect an informed opinion is the general rule. i will not look a single thing up. anyway here we go

andalusia

starting off strong i have to admit that putting semi naked twink hercules with pet lions front and center on your flag is a power move and i am unfortunately a sucker for pillars of hercules symbolism. i think it’s as neat as nationalist imagery gets but you do get points off for mentioning spain in a positive light in the inscription. at least the first statement is andalusia first and the font is charmingly outdated (vintage 1930s) so it ALL gets a pass — also medium dark green is an interesting & original color for your flag, looks harmonious with the white and small amounts of yellow, good job andalusia. not a very original (at all) three horizontal line format but still 9/10

aragon

sigh. if only catalonia hadn’t nicked the flag that is rightfully yours.…. you are reduced to having to slap an ugly coat of arms on this fine heritage layout… 😢 is the bottom left quarter like, sardinia? if so it’s nice that they’re reminiscing about their old possessions. wish i knew what the other quarters are but it doesn’t change them being kinda ugly unfortunately. what’s up with the cross springing from the tree? anyway the first of the four crown of aragon flags gets only a 5/10 even though it pains my heart.

asturias

yeah this is sick unfortunately. 10/10.

balearic islands

our second crown of aragon flag is one that confuses me a lot. the white castle on a purple field has always been the traditional arms of… valencia. i get that we’re neighbors but why is it on the baleares flag now (as i said i am not looking this up). suspicious. highway robbery aside this flag kinda slaps (but i am so, so biased towards all of the four red stripes flags you won’t even believe it) and we always like to see rare purple in flags. 8/10

canary islands

white blue and yellow has to be one of the most visually pleasant, underutilized flag color combos ever and i applaud canarias for this utterly charming flag. it knows what’s important (OCEANO) and it also has- check this out- dogs rampant. is this a reference to can / perro => canarias? no fucking clue. anyway 9/10

cantabria

im gonna be honest i hadn't seen this flag in my life. there are two parts to this flag: the two stripes (1) and the coat of arms (2). (1) has to be the most boring layout for a flag ever (like seriously horizontal half white half red??? hi poland monaco indonesia whatever) and (2) is seriously one of the ugliest coats of arms ive ever seen. it kinda screams graphic design is my passion. i like the emphasis on being an important harbor (tower and the chain in the sea) and the uhh. circular rune thing but with them all being thrown together in an elementary school-looking drawing with floating heads and everything it’s just not very good. 2/10 only because there is worse in this country

castile - la mancha

on an intellectual level i know i should levy the same criticism against this flag as i did against cantabria on account of this also being a supremely unoriginal half red half white flag but on an emotional level. this looks cooler. it has an actual symmetric castle and the whole thing is minimalistic and powerful. go castile the new 8/10

castile and leon

this one is such a classic im so sorry, im so sorry im gonna be a basic bitch but i cant help it this is our stereotypical medieval flag for a reason. you can just visualize this thing on columbus’ standard as he plants it on hispaniola in a bad illustration from a francoist children’s book. castles and lions rampant in a simple symmetrical layout and you know what, yeah, peak flag. it is my impression that some leonese don’t appreciate being shoved into this castile thing with them having been their own kingdom for way longer but what do i know. anyway go castile the old 9/10

catalonia

why is this their flag again. why do they get the og crown of aragon flag without any add-ons. is it because they got to choose first?? the flag itself is a 10/10 but this gets 6/10 out of spite.

ceuta

it’s. it’s ugly. it attacks my senses and yet i respect them for going very hard while doing their own thing. interesting color scheme and layout. the stark black and white diagonals give me a bit of a headache if i look at this for too long but it’s true that you’ll never risk mixing up this flag with any other. also the portuguese coat of arms is a very nice touch as indeed this was a portuguese settlement that remained loyal to felipe iv after 1640. uwu. for being the most loyal, ceuta and its disconcerting flag get 6/10.
