Language
Bixo Malo: Non-standard spelling: bixo instead of standard Spanish bicho (insect/creature). Malo = bad.
Above it: an unreadable tag (signature-style, stylized letters).
Below: a simple drawing of a cartoon-like dog/wolf head.
The choice of x instead of ch is significant: Can mark informality, youth slang, or visual preference. "bixo" with “x” challenges standard spelling, signaling subcultural positioning. It works as a marker of non-standard, local voice.
“Bicho malo nunca muere”
(literally: a bad bug never dies).

Language:
English:
"Derby" (race, competition), Motoreta’s (possessive, Anglicized form).
Spanish:
"Burrito" (literally “little donkey,” but also slang for a rolled joint).
"8 de septiembre 2025, Teatro Romano de Mérida."
Slang / Hybrid:
"Kachimba" (Andalusian/colloquial spelling of cachimba, meaning hookah/shisha, or metaphorically party vibe).
It shows how youth culture in Spain often positions itself both globally and locally at once, using code-mixing as a marker of authenticity.

Spanish :
“Versarte” (play on verso = verse + arte = art)
“Poesía, música, acción y micro libre”
“Miércoles 30 Julio – 20:00 H, Auditorio Parque del Príncipe”
Organizers: Espacio de Arte y Acción, Diputación de Cáceres, Ayuntamiento de Cáceres.
The title “Versarte” is a triple wordplay in Spanish:
verso + arte: "verse + art" : poetry as art.
versarte (verb form): could be read as “to turn you into verse.”
sounds like “besarte”: “to kiss you” : adds an emotional, romantic connotation, fitting with poetry and performance.
This shows how local linguistic creativity in the Cáceres landscape differs from the English borrowing trend in concerts, cafés, and graffiti. Instead of importing global words, this poster plays within Spanish morphology and phonetics to make it memorable.

Text & Language
BOTANICC: looks like English, based on botanic, but with an extra “C.” Possibly a branding choice to appear unique or upscale.
GRAND CAFÉ:
Grand is an English word, but also exists in French (meaning great/large).
Café is French, widely borrowed into English, Spanish, and other languages. In Spanish, café is the everyday word for “coffee” and “coffeehouse.”
Overall: a hybrid international style using English and French borrowings, but recognizable across many languages. Here, the language functions less as communication and more as branding and symbolic capital: it suggests sophistication and global modernity. The choice of English and French borrowings demonstrates how the tourism and hospitality sector in Cáceres taps into international prestige languages, rather than the national language.

Languages present:
Spanish (dominant)
“SE ALQUILA ESTE LOCAL” (This premises for rent) : functional, commercial use.
Concert posters: “El Duende Callejero”, “Sábado 16 Agosto”, “Navalmoral de la Mata” (place name).
English
Stickers: “DEPT” : short for department, common in streetwear branding.
Poster: “Derby Motoreta’s Burrito Kachimba” (band name mixing English + Spanish slang).
Tags often resemble English word-forms, even if unreadable.
Hybrid
Band names, graffiti tags, and branding often blur English/Spanish boundaries (e.g., "Sizer StorK" sticker).
This doorway becomes a multilingual, multi-actor palimpsest:
Top-down Spanish (functional: “Se alquila”)
Spanish + English mix (youth culture, concerts, band names)
Graffiti tags in English-style script (symbolic subcultural identity)
It reflects how urban space is negotiated: official notices get “colonized” by countercultural graffiti, while music/culture posters mediate between both. The symbolic capital of English shows in music and subcultural identity, but Spanish remains the communicative backbone.

This vertical panel is titled “Torres Cristianas”, and it narrates the history of Cáceres’ truncated towers under the heading “El Desmoche de la Reina Isabel” (The Truncation by Queen Isabella).
The sign presents the historical episode when Isabella I of Castile ordered the nobility’s towers in Cáceres to be reduced in height, as punishment for supporting her rival Juana la Beltraneja in the succession conflict after the death of Henry IV.
The panel integrates text, portraits, maps, genealogical diagrams, Braille, and illustrations.
Upper section:
A map of Cáceres indicating Christian towers.
Main title “El Desmoche de la Reina Isabel”.
Portraits of Juana la Beltraneja and Isabel la Católica flank a dynastic family tree, situating them in relation to Enrique IV, Fernando II, and Juana de Portugal. This genealogical framing highlights the roots of the civil war.
Middle section:
Multilingual explanations of the tower demolition, in English, Portuguese, German, and French. Each language is marked with a colored circle for easy navigation.
A central illustration of a medieval battle scene, reinforcing the military context of the succession war.
The narrative highlights both the symbolic punishment of the nobility and the military transformation of the cityscape.
Accessibility:
A wide Braille band transcribes the content for visually impaired visitors, running horizontally across the panel.
Lower section:
The text “El perfil imposible de Cáceres” explains the long-term impact of these demolitions on the city’s skyline.
Mentions specific cases such as the Palacio de las Cigüeñas, the only tower left intact, thanks to its owner Diego de Ovando’s loyalty to Isabella.
Additional drawings and a panoramic photograph of the city link the historical past to the visible present.
Bottom band: Decorated in ochre, with heraldic motifs (including the lion of León), tying the narrative to the broader theme of urban heraldry and identity.
Linguistic Landscape Notes
Multimodal Communication: The panel combines text, genealogical charts, portraits, maps, illustrations, and photography, providing a layered semiotic experience.
Multilingualism: As with the first panel, the presence of English, Portuguese, German, French, and Spanish emphasizes Cáceres’ role as a tourist heritage site that communicates with international audiences.
Accessibility: Braille transcription reinforces inclusivity, making heritage interpretation available to visually impaired visitors.
Historical Identity: The panel ties Cáceres’ physical architecture (its truncated towers) directly to political history and dynastic struggles, presenting the city’s landscape as a living monument to past conflicts.
Pedagogical Design: The genealogical chart and portraits serve as visual aids, simplifying complex dynastic history for museum visitors.

graffiti and tagging (grassroots, informal).
Languages present:
Spanish
“busco novi@” : means “looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend”.
“Luzia Urdalaz” (likely a personal name, stylized).
English influence (in style, not full words): some tags use letterforms typical of English hip-hop/graffiti culture (blocky, stylized, unreadable signatures).
Symbolic scripts : most are tags (nicknames/signatures), functioning as identity markers rather than meaningful language.
Identity & subculture : Tags (e.g. "YESBAN", "WONE", "TSAH") are graffiti names/pseudonyms. They mark territory, presence, or identity in urban space. The language isn’t about communication but visibility, rebellion, and belonging to urban/street culture.
Multimodal writing : use of color (red, blue, silver, black), overlapping tags, stylized letterforms.
Code-switching potential : Spanish for direct communication, English-style forms for global graffiti identity.
Individual vs collective : unlike posters (public, institutional), graffiti is personal/anonymous expression.
Orthographic creativity : “novi@” uses @ as a gender-neutral ending, which shows digital language influence in graffiti.
Graffiti here contributes as bottom-up language use (vs. top-down advertising and cultural posters). It shows how youth identity, urban art, and language intersect. The mixture of Spanish (for communication) + English-inspired graffiti style (for prestige/subcultural belonging) reflects global-local interplay.
