[edit] Welcome to my User Page

I'm Catalan (from Catalonia) and this is my weblog: Galindaines where you can find what worries me, my travel pictures and all this stuff.

I'm not a regular contributor of the English Wikipedia. In fact I'm a regular contributor of the Catalan one, and just seldom link here relevant articles on the English one. So pls., excuse me if I do not read frequently any message, and cannot respond it.

You can jump to my Catalan user page. Please write there any urgent thing, even if I could seldom take some time to read it! :)

[edit] Gaspar de Portolà right spelling

Gaspar de Portolà

The correct writing in his own signature is Gaspar de Portolà and not Gaspar de Portolá. I understand there may be some confussion for non accented language speakers. References to prove that are:

• http://www.tvcatalunya.com/tvcmult/171381189.jpg Portolà's original Signature with the accent clearly being à and not á, from the:
• http://www.tvcatalunya.com/historiesdecatalunya/documents/doc169904107.htm Diary of the Portolà Expedition (Please look at his original signature here!), keeped at the [Museo Naval de Madrid], where anybody could check it.
• http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/~catalan/Catstudies.html Gaspar de Portolà Catalonian Studies Program at Berkeley University
• http://www.casalcatala.org/ Gaspar de Portolà - Pere Fages, Casal Català del Nord de Callifòrnia at El Cerrito, CA
• http://www.gportola.com/ Gaspar de Portolà Foundation
• http://www.uoc.edu/in3/hermeneia/exemples/atles_catala/portola.htm Portolà Mapamundi
• http://www.xtec.es/~jplanas3/socials/cs15pac2.htm

And many other I can add upon request. Therefore, both pages should be swaped.
