If a foreigner lands in Catalonia, he will observe a unique local superstition: many citizens are afraid to mention Spain or the Spanish, which they replace with "the State" and "citizens of the State", convinced that doing so brings bad luck .
The Abbey of Montserrat has decided to take some heat and will charge entry to the sanctuary to foreigners, understanding as such all those who do not fight on the day of their national holiday.
The matter will seem simple to the readers of Oklahoma: the Spanish enter through the nose and the other inhabitants of the planet will have to open their pockets to see the Moreneta, despite the risk that they will think that it is the famous virgin of the fist.
No, things can't be that simple here and you will have to see the formula chosen by the monks of the Abbey to have the party in peace and not offend anyone in terms of the sign at the entrance.
The poster should be inclusive and break down the categories of those exempt from payment. It is not enough to put "Free entry with Spanish ID" because this brings bad luck and is provocative.
In order to avoid fights, I modestly propose some absurd formulas, very typical of the peninsula:
-Free entry for residents of Spain, including those of Ejea de los Caballeros.
- Free entry for residents of Catalonia with Spanish ID due to legal imperative.
-Free entry for residents of Catalonia with ID issued by the Evil State.
- Free entry for residents of Catalonia and former CiU voters who would agree to be considered Spanish in exchange for 120 kilometers of railways and 3,000 tons of trains.
-Free entry for those who live and work in Catalonia, have forgotten to renew their ID and have a cousin in Murcia.
-Free entry for Real Madrid members with a Spanish wristband. The presentation of ID is not mandatory.
-Free entry for residents of Catalonia who are being robbed by Madrid and are fine with carrying their ID unless they call them Spanish.
And the guiris to pay, who are already lucky enough not to understand anything about our things...
