Hold up in Lloret

 Thanks to Mariano for taking the time to explain what is actually going on in todays photos.
Its the first time Ive heard of the bank robbery in 1978, although I have seen the coloured photo before I just didnt see that someone is laid wounded in the doorway.

Marino's info about the pics.....
 the first strike in Lloret,spanish workers of hotels,bars and restaurants asking for best labour conditions after Franco´s regime,it was moving to see the workers fighting for their rights.second one,(atraco al Banco de Madrid)the man who is on the middle of the street,(he was a policeman without uniform)(white shirt)shot to the robber and he was wounded in his leg and down on the floor,the last pic,(colour photo)please,write in your blog that is not mine,is from Lloret pride,(Facebook)and I send to Lloret old stuff because  is just taken few seconds before of the photo black and white,
