The EU & Spain have policies to ensure "persons with reduced mobility" (PRMs) have access to #publictransport. Therefore, how does the removal of signs to identify priority seating in #Sitges buses contribute to PRM accessibility?

This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe.

Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.

23 April marks World Book Day, honouring Cervantes and Shakespeare, who both died on this date.

We celebrate their legacy alongside Día del Español in Spain and St George’s Day in the UK.

A day for language, literature and shared cultural heritage.

Still calm.
Good.

I want to end this day with a peaceful video from Ternopil.

Listening now to the fantastically dramatic Allegro con brio, 1st movement in Mozart's
Symphony No. 25 in G Minor performed by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields w/ Neville Marrinerl for the soundtrack of Amadeus

This is the embodiment of 'Sturm und Drang' musically. Enjoy!
