# Bando del Ayuntamiento de Cobeja: S.E. el Jefe del Estado, Generalísimo Franco, pasará por Olías del Rey (1971)

Text-only municipal notice of 17 July 1971 inviting the residents of Cobeja to go to the neighbouring village of Olías del Rey on the 20th to pay homage to Franco as he drives to Toledo, and 'once more' to show their 'adhesion to the Head of State'. The tell: attendance is requested as a demonstration of loyalty, so the size of the crowd is the message.
