135922	Laura_Pizarro_Jacinto	Spain Cáceres	Spanish TABACOS : Tobacco shop. EXP. Nº 014 : Concession or license number. Lotería de Navidad sin recargo (inside poster) : “Christmas lottery without surcharge.” English (secondary, global branding) Drink Ice Cold (Coca-Cola sign inside). Top-down regulation: The Tabacos sign is a state-controlled franchise. In Spain, tobacco shops (estancos) are regulated by the government, and every one has a license number (Exp. Nº ...). The standardized design (yellow text on red background with the tobacco symbol “T”) shows uniformity across the country. This is not just commerce but part of the institutional landscape of the state. Spanish as the dominant code: Clear, functional, and necessary for locals. Reinforces the national monopoly status of tobacco distribution. English as a global commercial layer: Coca-Cola’s Drink Ice Cold adds a touch of global advertising discourse inside the shop. While the store’s main identity is highly regulated and national (Spanish state monopoly), interior advertising allows space for global consumer culture. Visual semiotics: The bold yellow/red color scheme is part of the Spanish state’s brand identity for tobacco shops. It contrasts with the more colorful and playful commercial logos inside (lottery, Coca-Cola, etc.).	PALRA
136178	Laura_Pizarro_Jacinto	Spain Cáceres	This panel, titled “La hidráulica en la ciudad histórica: El agua en la ciudad”, is part of the interpretive displays in the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres. It interprets the relationship between the city and water, tracing how springs, cisterns, baths, and mills sustained urban life from antiquity to modern times. Upper Section: The main heading “El agua en la ciudad” introduces the theme. A brief introduction explains the importance of the Ribera del Marco, a watercourse running along Cáceres, together with numerous cisterns, aljibes, and wells that supplied water to the population. A map shows the distribution of hydraulic features, including cisterns, chambers, and ruins of water-related constructions. A key explains the color-coded map symbols (cisterns/aljibes, chambers/buildings, ruins). Middle Section: A Braille transcription band runs horizontally, ensuring accessibility for visually impaired visitors. Multilingual text (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, French) appears in blocks, each marked with a colored circle containing its initial (s, e, p, d, f). Lower Section – “Elementos singulares” (Unique Features): Highlights particular hydraulic structures that survive in Cáceres: Thermal baths (located in the Palacio del Mayoralgo), with diagrammatic reconstructions of features such as the palestra, sauna, cold-water pool, and hot rooms. Molinos (mills) used for grinding grain, with explanatory diagrams. The Aljibe (cistern), one of the most distinctive monuments of Cáceres, presented as a vaulted underground space built in stone and mortar. Illustrative diagrams provide cutaway views of these structures, complementing the textual explanations. Linguistic Landscape Analysis Multilingualism and Accessibility Information is offered in five European languages and Braille, ensuring international reach and inclusive access. The colored-circle system clarifies navigation for multilingual audiences. Multimodality The panel combines maps, explanatory diagrams, photographs, text, and Braille, offering multiple entry points into the content. The technical reconstructions of baths and mills are particularly striking, visually translating archaeological remains into understandable forms. Cultural Framing The narrative frames water not only as a basic resource but as a shaper of urban culture. By emphasizing features like baths and mills, the panel highlights how water infrastructures were tied to social practices, hygiene, and economic production. Semiotics of Place The map situates hydraulic elements within Cáceres, making them part of the city’s identity and visible heritage. The Aljibe is foregrounded as an emblematic monument, tying the local hydraulic history to the city’s UNESCO World Heritage status.	PALRA
