I've always wondered what was up with those left-wing towns in Lugo Province right on the regional border. Are these mining/industrial areas like in next-door Asturias and Leon?

Aren't those the ones with language issues?

Are you asking for Asturias and León or Lugo?

Galician language has official status but the Asturian language has not, although it has some legal protection and it's an optional choice at school.

About the Astur-Leonese languages:

I was thinking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reintegrationism norm. I've read somewhere that some municipalities, in which BNG had some strenght, had adopted It, aiming crossborder relations or for some nationalistic reason.

Shouldn't ERC's and CiU's colors be exchanged?

[batmacumba]

Do you mean ERC replacing CiU as the main nationalist force?

Oh, no! I mean, CiU using dark blue (they'd already assumed it in this new logo, but I always saw them being representaded by it, not by the old nationalist color) and ERC using some shade of orange.
