There are these great moments that I find something I really like and a good example of this exaltation comes from the personalized limited edition Barretines from Catalonia.
The perfect gift for any hat collector: these authentic 100% Wool Barretines are hand painted with the Senyera (national flag of Catalonia) and the red star by Catalan artist Jordi Sanahuja. Every barretina comes with a signed and dated certificate of authenticity. A unique and true collector's item.
The Senyera is one of the oldest flags in Europe to be used in present day, but not in continuous use since its creation. There are several theories advocating either a purely Catalan or a purely Aragonese origin for the symbol.
According to a 14th-century legend, the flag dates back from the 9th century, when the four red bars were drawn, as an act of gratitude, on Wilfred I the Hairy's (Count of Barcelona) golden shield by king Charles the Bald's fingers drenched with blood from the Count's war wounds prior to Wilfred's death in 897 during the siege of Barcelona by Lobo ibn Mohammed, the Moorish governor of Lleida.
