"In its softly lit dining room with rustic whitewashed walls and vaulted ceilings ribbed with exposed wooden beams, I looked around at diners eating wood-grilled steaks and drinking glasses of wine. Above us, the walls proclaimed, "Article 4: les Catalan ont le droit de vivre et de travailler en terre Catalane en décidant eux-mêmes," translated for me as "the Catalan people have the right to live and to work in the land of Catalonia, deciding for themselves." - Jacob Dean
