There are names of towns whose sound makes people fall in love on the networks and others that, because they do not exist, become digital torture. In March 2018, a report from the Civil Guard sent to Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena and published by El Mundo recounted the rebellion during the 1-O of the residents of Sant Esteve de les Roures against the forces of order. A protester who kicks an officer, a motorist who tries to run over another and steal his weapon... Alleged serious crimes committed in a town... that does not exist. The mistake became a tweeting opportunity for the independence movement. In a few days, more than 3,000 accounts of administrations, businesses and non-existent neighbors had been registered on Twitter, whose comments were criticized by the community manager of the Civil Guard itself.
The new invention is Sant Cugat de Llobregat and the copyright belongs to Alberto Núñez Feijóo. “The citizens of Sant Cugat de Llobregat have the same rights as those of Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón.” If one searches in The honorable neighbor @jordiPuignero takes advantage of Elizabethan wisdom (Ayuso): “Feijóo has no idea where Sant Cugat is.” And colleague @emmavallespinos imagines “crying in a corner” the author of the PP leader's speech “who spent the previous night awake wondering if it was a risk to make him say something like ‘Cuzcurrita del Río Tirón’.”
The independence movement is no longer up for jokes, but in its “new stage” after agreeing on the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, it has been exploring Spanish geography for two days. “Does Cuzcurrita exist?”, “Where is Cuzcurrita?”... Cuzcurrita exists and Feijóo knows it. @QuimMonzo provides his 341,000 followers with the Wikipedia link while the rest delve into Feijóo's wound.
Sant Cugat del Vallès is in the top ten of the richest municipalities in Spain, while Cuzcurrita – “village of art and wine”, 522 inhabitants – occupies position 2,575. Do your citizens have the same rights? There are a couple of buses a day, a doctor who visits two hours in the morning and if healthcare assistance is required the rest of the day, the City Council recommends calling 112. Of course, you can entrust yourself to your patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel, or sing a jota: “In Spain there is a Rioja / and in La Rioja a Cuzcurrita, / and in Cuzcurrita a claret / that takes away all sorrows.”
