I came across a graffiti inscription on a house façade in Palma’s centre a couple of years ago. It is still there, today. It reads:

Mallorca aki nacieron mis hijos, aki murieron mis sueños (Mallorca – my children were born here, my dreams died here).

I don’t know what lies behind this sad accusation, but something awful must have happened. I gather from the spelling of aki (it would have to be aqui in spanish) that the person behind this message might be an immigrant from South America, but I do not know for sure.

The photo was chosen from my archive. It was taken in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The date: February 28th, 2008. The time was 12:56:43.
