play or discuss any of the stories on our program.
Una marcha de nacionalistas blancos en Charlottesville, Virginia, tuvo consecuencias mortales el pasado sábado, después de que un hombre embistiera con su coche a un numeroso grupo de contramanifestantes, matando a una persona e hiriendo a otras 19. Al menos otras 16 personas resultaron heridas en enfrentamientos entre los manifestantes de extrema derecha y los activistas contra el racismo.

Hay edificios difíciles de olvidar. Por ejemplo en Valencia…
Nicolás:
Supongo que te referirás alcomplejo arquitectónico de la Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciènciescuya espectacular arquitectura ha tenido muchos premios y el reconocimiento mundial...
Marta:
No me cabe la menor duda... El arquitecto valenciano Calatrava, cuyos trabajos son muy conocidos en todo el mundo, hizo un gran proyecto. Pero yo no me refería concretamente a ese. Me refería a la Estación del Norte de Valencia cuyafachada es una de las más fotografiadas de la ciudad.
Nicolás:
¿Te refieres a la estación de trenes de Valencia?
Marta:
Un edificio Modernista cuya arquitectura desprende serenidad y potencia. En agosto de 2017 celebró su primer centenario, ¿sabes? Y después de haber estado funcionandotodo un siglo aún hoy en día su calidad constructiva es impecable. ¡Es una gran estación de ferrocarriles modernista!

Hay locuras de juventud que pueden traerte consecuencias para toda la vida…
Nicolás:
¡Que cada palo aguante su vela!
Marta:
No dirías que cada palo aguante su vela ante la experiencia de juventud que voy a contarteahora mismo. ¿Sabes quien fue Leonora Carrington? No… yo tampoco lo sabía hasta un curso que hice en la Universidad de Salamanca. Esta mujer fue una pintora surrealista y escritorainglesa, nacionalizada mexicana.
Nicolás:
¿Surrealista? ¿De la época de Dalí, Buñuel o Picasso?
Marta:
Exactamente… De joven fue amante del pintor surrealista Max Ernst. Lo conoció en Londres, en un restaurante llamado… Barcelona.
