Notes : The hashtag #afalaestáviva (“A Fala is alive”) functions as a revitalisation slogan. Although the fan is an everyday object, here it becomes a semiotic carrier of local identity. Its ephemeral, mobile nature illustrates how festivals act as temporary translation zones where grassroots identity is asserted.

Notes : The slogan “Femus de comel” (“we make food” in A Fala) foregrounds the local variety in a commercial context, marking identity and authenticity. Its exclusivity (no Spanish/English translation) suggests pride and a targeted local audience rather than tourists. The creative logo design (e) Enigma, strengthens brand identity while pairing Spanish.

Sticker with acorns (no text). Symbolic, non-linguistic. Acorns are a regional symbol of Extremadura, since the dehesa landscape and oak trees (encinas) define the area and are tied to Iberian ham production. Here the image functions as identity and local pride, communicated without words.
Sticker reading “ALECRÁN TATTOO” . Language: Spanish (but with stylized spelling). “Alecrán” is a variation of alacrán, meaning scorpion in Spanish. “Tattoo” is an English borrowing, widely used internationally. Together it blends Spanish identity (scorpion) with English branding (tattoo industry).
Other faded stickers
Mostly unreadable, but their presence shows the layered temporality of sticker culture: old, decayed messages beneath new ones.

Spanish: “EXCEPTO PARADOR”, “RESERVADO PARA VEHÍCULO DEL PARADOR”
English: “Reserved for Parador vehicle”
French: “Réservé pour le véhicule du Parador”
German: “Reserviert für Parador Fahrzeug”
It shows the multilingual signage used in tourist areas of Cáceres intramuros, especially near the Parador de Cáceres (historic hotel).
