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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a coat of arms carved in relief on a wall in Cáceres, featuring an imperial eagle with spread wings. The two-headed eagle (or in some cases single-headed with an elaborate crown) is a Habsburg symbol, widely used in Spain during the reign of Charles V (Carlos I of Spain) and his successors. It represented the Holy Roman Empire and the union of Spain under imperial rule.
The decorative effect here was achieved through the technique of sgraffito, in which layers of plaster or stone are scraped to produce a shallow relief. This method was common in the 16th century and allowed façades to bear heraldic and political symbols in a striking yet durable way.
