Jordi Fabre wrote:

One of the things that makes me saddest about not being there this year is that, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Sainte-Marie, I lent them 6 pieces from my personal collection (something I never do), and just the one time I do it, I won’t be able to see them on display! 😒

...And not having been able to step in to prevent mistakes like the label in the exhibition saying 'Áliva, Asturias' instead of 'Áliva, Cantabria' (3rd level of the mine)

I've already informed them—let's see if they can fix it.

I often see that error, and even had to correct it on other sites
