Babel In Practice

Someone hinted that they might like to see more Andalusian nonsense posted at Ibex Salad. The photo (which we originally contributed pseudonymously to Alfonso el Idiota). 'Servicios' is the word for washroom in Spanish. Following it is the translation to some universal tourist language that we are sure the person charged with the task thought was English.

Dearb CB,

I'd prefer to see beautiful pictures of snowed olive-trees in Jaén by your niece.

Don't you think so?

Actually, it makes sense as I have noticed a surprisingly large number of Albanian and Azeri tourists while visiting Cazorla.

So that's what they're speaking. I thought it was a bus tour from Lepe.
