Traditionalist Communion (2001)
The Traditionalist Communion (, CT) is a Spanish political group rooted in Carlism, headed by the prince Sixto Enrique of Borbón and organized around his political secretariat. History The organization claims continuity from the Traditionalist Communion reorganised in 1975 and its earlier historical antecedents. It was formed by Carlists who separated from the Traditionalist Communion Carlist Party (CTC), established in 1986, following the departure of former supporters of Sixto Enrique. In 2001, Sixto Enrique appointed Rafael Gambra, a Carlist thinker and historic leader, as head of his Political Secretariat. Following Gambra's death in 2004, Miguel Ayuso, took over until 2010, when José Miguel Gambra, Rafael's son, succeeded him.

Dios, Patria Y Rey
Dios, patria y rey was a motto of Carlism. These three words (which can be translated as "God, King and Fatherland"), have been the motto and cornerstone of Carlism throughout its existence. What Carlism understood by these was: * Dios (God): Carlism believes in the Catholic Faith as a cornerstone of Spain, and must be politically active in its defense. * Patria (Fatherland): Carlism is heavily patriotic, Traditionalism sees the Fatherland as the nesting of communities (municipal, regional, Spain) united under one. * Rey (King): The concept of national sovereignty is rejected. Sovereignty is vested on the king, both legitimate in blood and in deeds, from the Carlist branch of the House of Bourbon.

Cerro De Los Ángeles
The Cerro de los Ángeles (''Hill of the Angels'') is a hill located in Getafe, Spain, about south of Madrid. The site is famous for being the geographic centre of the Iberian Peninsula. On top of the hill there is a fourteenth-century monastery named Our Lady of the Angels (''Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles''), as well as the Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (''Monumento al Sagrado Corazón''), built in 1919 to dedicate the country and inaugurated by king Alfonso XIII. The original monument was created by architect Carlos Maura Nadal and sculptor Aniceto Marinas y García, and was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII on 30 May 1919. Republicans dynamited the monument on 7 August 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, due to its religious and political symbolism, and because the Catholic Church in Spain supported the Nationalists. There was a proposal to replace it with a figure representing Liberty or the Republic, but this was not executed due to the war and the defeat of the ...
