** La Hotel Malcontenta, Palamos, street view/; and hotel website at http://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/La_Malcontenta_Hotel.htm?languageCode=EN Lonely Planet gives it 5 stars. Citeslisted here to make up for early chuckle at the name, http://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/catalonia/costa-brava/hotels/la-malcontenta
** Now: Consider Paratge, as it crosses the Pyrenees.
The term "Paratge" is here shown as a Catalan word, part of a postal address. Paratge meant, in earlier explorations, the concepts of courtesy, inclusion, magnanimity, as among the medieval Christian Cathars in the Languedoc, now France. Borders and connections over the Pyrenees were fluid. The Cathar-Languedoc language was Occitan. Word now in Catalan.
Paratge - see its appearance even in old warfare, as conducted by more noble humans than we produce today, see Richard the Lionheart and Saladin, and http://worldwar1worldwar2.blogspot.com/2009/12/paratge-in-warfare-two-jerusalem.html. Paratge. The duty to do the right. Common good governance.
Western religion: astray when it exterminated dissenters. Perhaps dissenters held more truth. See pudding.
