Well, I don't know what it was - the fellows at the gas station said huelga when I asked. I did not want to ask too much at that stage as things were still burning. 5 Blocks of the road was quite impressively decorated with burning tires, rocks and boulders and this was at 10 this morning. I've seen strikes before, as well as riots. This looked a little more than the normal burning tires, rocks and stones. It did not look like it would have been much fun to be around last night.
I travel through Navarette frequently and this is the most impressive 'morning-after' that I've seen. Hence my original question - Does anyone know what this one was all about, specifically? If you know, please do tell. If you don't, please hold the comments, just this time, pretty please.
