The separatists win the majority in the Catalan parliament, but not the majority of votes. Even within the separatist groups divisions appear. The results of Sunday's regional elections in Cataluña are reported diversely throughout Spain. Many agree, the effects and consequences of the vote may not be known until December's general elections. Today's program also takes a step back into history and to the impressions Spain made upon English poet Lord Byron during his visit in 1809. Women and bullfighting appear to have made the biggest impact on the 21 year old poet on his way to fight for Greek independence.
