Notes : This is an example of institutional monolingual signage: Spanish is the sole language used to represent local identity within a national tourism brand. Despite San Martín de Trevejo being an A Fala-speaking town, the local variety is silenced here, replaced by the hegemonic national language. The cracks in the sign also index material ageing, contrasting the permanence of its institutional authority with the fragility of its materiality.

Languages: Spanish (official place name Arco de la Estrella, stickers like No a la mina), English (stickers such as Rock), graffiti tags.
Additional elements: A dog sticker placed directly over the coat of arms symbol; stencil carvings scratched into the stone.
Individual/anonymous voices: Wall carvings, semiotic traces of past visitors, marking presence outside official narratives.
This is a palimpsest landscape. The official Spanish heritage sign represents institutional voice. Stickers in Spanish and English express activism and youth culture. The dog sticker disrupts the coat of arms, symbolically rebranding the heritage sign. Wall carvings represent long-term informal inscriptions, marking individual presence.

The language in this sign is English.
Gourmet (English, borrowed from French)
Souvenirs (English, borrowed from French, meaning keepsakes or mementos)
So although the roots are French, here they are being used in English context for tourists. If it were written in standard Spanish, it would normally say: “Delicatessen y Recuerdos”. The sign is English-influenced, but fully understandable in Spanish too, since the loanwords are in everyday use.

Notes : This cluster of posters highlights how public boards become contested semiotic spaces: overlapping inscriptions, competing for visibility. The commercial concert poster dominates visually, overshadowing smaller cultural and cross-border festival announcements. Despite being in San Martín de Trevejo (A Fala-speaking area, near Portugal), neither A Fala nor Portuguese are included, reinforcing the dominance of Spanish in event promotion.

A prominently placed sticker reads “NO A LA MINA” in bold typography, followed by “¡Defiende Cáceres!” (Defend Cáceres!), over a green heart shape. Other smaller stickers around it include expressive tags and images, layering socio-political messaging onto public infrastructure.
This sticker is part of broader civic action:
Local activism: Organized by citizens under “Plataforma Salvemos la Montaña”, a group opposing the lithium mining project near the Sierra de la Mosca, a protected ecological area and symbol of local heritage.
Mass mobilization: Two major protests were held in 2024, with attendance reaching up to 7,000 people, carrying slogans like “Defiende Cáceres” and “No a la mina” on banners throughout the city.
Transparency concerns: Activists have accused regional authorities of withholding unfavorable environmental reports, raising frustration and rallying calls like those on the sticker.

Notes : This poster exemplifies how regional festivals use bold colour coding and typographic hierarchy (performers highlighted in fluorescent boxes) to organise visual attention. Despite being located in an A Fala-speaking town, the promotional discourse is exclusively in Spanish, marking a tension between local linguistic identity and wider commercial reach. The QR code introduces a digital extension, merging physical and online promotional ecologies.

Symbols and stylized text
Gothic, graffiti, and rock-style fonts blur readability, turning words into visual identity markers.
Spanish provides functional local communication, while English (mainly in band names and festival branding) ties the event to the global rock subculture. The coexistence of both languages, plus visual stylization, reflects how music scenes operate in a transnational space where local identity and global culture merge.

Notes : This sign is significant as it represents institutional recognition of Extremaduran, rarely used in official signage. However, the placement hierarchy (Spanish above, Extremaduran below) reproduces symbolic dominance. The absence of A Fala is striking given the town’s linguistic ecology, highlighting competing policies of visibility for minority languages.
