Sala Sol is one of the oldest nightclubs in the whole of Spain, opening its doors in 1979 and, from that moment on, it became one of the busiest places with people from La Movida (a sociocultural movement that surged after Franco´s death).

The Naval Museum of Madrid presents, in chronological order, the most important and relevant pieces of Spanish Naval history, from the period of the Catholic monarchs in 1474 up until now. At the place we can observe and enjoy ancient nautical instruments, artillery pieces, maps, ship models and different paintings of historical naval scenes. One of the most important ship models that there is in the Naval Museum is that “Nuestra Señora de la Concepción y de las Ánimas” which had no less than three floors and that the Spanish naval fleet created in 1688. The ship and its construction are very well documented throughout different manuscripts which were used by the architects of the time. Another of the more interesting ones is the Real Carlos, also with three floors and which was built in 1766. There´s a gallery dedicated especially with the intention to present the most important achievements of Spain right back to the time of discovery.

Just when I though there was little social organisation which seeks to defend the rights of the consumer, the citizen, the user – or indeed whatever you want to call the liver of the complex daily life of today, there pops up some surprising groups who exceed, get beyond that sense of torpor which surrounds modern comfort. In this case, it´s a group of young people, spurred on by varying interests – from the fun to the compromised, dealing with a diverse range of issues, but placing a special and very strong focus on the freedom of expression on the internet. Their name is Anonymous, and much more than a group in the classical sense, they are young people who share ideas, common objectives, mobilised by a social goal that is worth finding out about. Anonymous is today found almost all around the world – the idea of somebody who posts online, and signs themselves off as ´anonymous.´ A member of Anonymous whom I happened to interview described the movement as a “super conscience based on the internet,” where many anonymous users meet up with common objectives, generating protests, and creating a new species of social movement. My interview subject also told me of the movements of the group in Barcelona, and how it has been growing. The actions of the group started back in 2008, with protests against the church of Scientology, which were followed by other more successful ones such as Operation Payback (which attacks the copyright laws), as well as the defense of Wikileaks, which provoked much uproar. With the slogan “Knowledge is free, we are...
