Europe 2011
Driving north from Jaen province into Castilla, just after the last Jaen tunnel, turn right off the freeway and find Casa Pepe. It is painteda sickeningly bright yellow. You can't miss seeing it if you are on the right road.
Once inside you could be forgiven for thinking you had stepped through a time warp back to Franco's Spain. They have hundreds of photos of the Generalissimo and hundreds more souvenirs of the Facist era.
They sell stuffed rabbits dressed in Facist uniforms. They even sell wine with Franco's picture on the label. It is as though they are just waiting for him to announce that he isn't dead and to come back to power.
