If I say the word "barrufet", nowadays all Catalan speakers will think of these guys:

The famous Belgian comic book and cartoon Les Schtroumpfs (translated to English as The Smurfs) was translated to Catalan for the first time in 1967, and the translator chose the name would be Els Barrufets.

The translator, Albert Jané, got the name "barrufet" from a being in Catalan mythology. The original barrufets in mythology are tiny wind elves or tiny wind demons.

In Spanish, the translation is Los Pitufos, which also comes from Catalan culture. These comic books were translated to Spanish for the first time in 1969, and the translator who made it is a Catalan man named Miguel Agustí. He decided to base the translation on the Catalan fairytale about a boy called Patufet who was born as small as a coin and who eventually hides from the rain under a lettuce and gets eaten by a cow, but later escapes in a fart.

In fact, Patufet is usually drawn wearing the traditional Catalan clothes that men used to wear in the 1800s, including the iconic traditional Catalan hat (the barretina). My guess is that being tiny and wearing this hat is what made him connect The Smurfs and Patufet.

Patufet is one of the most famous children's stories in Catalonia, but I don't think Spanish people know it (unless they watched Les tress bessones/The Triplets maybe?). If there are any Spanish people reading this who have never lived in Catalonia, could you please comment or add in the tags if you knew Patufet's story?

El cuarto sábado de junio rendimos homenaje a unos simpáticos duendecillos azules que habitan en una aldea y que han conquistado nuestro corazón, por su nobleza e ingenuidad. Se celebra el Día Mundial de los Pitufos.

¿Cómo se originó el Día Mundial de los Pitufos?

Esta efeméride se creó en el año 2011 en homenaje al creador de los pitufos, el dibujante belga Pierre Culliford, más conocido como "Peyo" (1928-1992), nacido el 25/06/1928.

Curiosidades sobre los pitufos

Conoce algunos datos curiosos e interesantes sobre estos enanitos azules:

El nombre original de los pitufos es Schtroumpfs, en francés. El redactor jefe de la revista Strong ideó un nombre versátil y original en español, derivado del personaje catalán "patufet". De allí surgió el nombre de pitufos en castellano.

En el año 2017 los pitufos se convirtieron en embajadores del Día Mundial de la Felicidad con el hashtag #SmallSmurfsBigGoals (pequeños pitufos, grandes metas).

Los pitufos aparecieron por primera vez en el semanario semanal Le Journal de Spirou, en el año 1958.

En el año 2011 uno de los pueblos de la serranía de Ronda en España (Júzcar) se pintó totalmente de azul. Fue nombrado el primer pueblo pitufo del mundo.

En Bruselas se erigió la estatua de un pitufo.

Pitufina es el único personaje femenino en la aldea de los pitufos. Fue creada por Gargamel, como parte de un plan para poner celosos a los pitufos.

El gorro blanco que forma parte de la indumentaria de los pitufos es un símbolo de la libertad. Se debe a que en la época romana estos gorros eran utilizados por aquellos esclavos que habían obtenido su libertad.

¿Cómo se celebra este simpático día mundial?

Durante este día el mundo se viste de azul, por parte de miles de fanáticos, para honrar a estos adorables personajes azules.

Se llevan a cabo eventos y actividades llenas de diversión alrededor del mundo, tales como festivales, maratones, competencias de disfraces. Asimismo, se efectúan visitas a guarderías, orfanatos y hospitales por parte de personas disfrazadas de pitufos, para brindar alegría a los más pequeños ¡Pitufigenial!

La Pedrera. Photos from Ajuntament de Barcelona and La Pedrera.

Nowadays, la Pedrera is one of the most famous building in Barcelona, Catalonia. It's one of the most emblematic buildings in the Catalan Modernism style, and has been declared part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí".

But it hasn't always been recognised as good architecture, all the opposite! In fact, take a look at its name: it's technically called Casa Milà (house of the Milà family), but locals always call it "la Pedrera", which means "the quarry" in the Catalan language. When it was built, in 1910, Barcelonians thought it looked like an ugly piece of stone-y quarry mountain in the middle of the city.

But that's not the only thing that they thought it looked like. Let's see some parodies that were published at the time:

In 1909, the popular magazine Cu-Cut! published this vignette of a mother and a son walking in front of the house, when the child asks his mom "was there also an earthquake here?". This is a reference to an earthquake that happened in Sicily the previous month, and to the house's bendy shapes that look like it was shaken.

In 1925, the children's magazine En Patufet also joined in, with a vignette where the owner realises he can't hang up curtains* on this windows.

*Note: I'm using the translation "curtains" as a simplification so that English speakers without a detailed knowledge of Catalan culture can understand the joke. The vignette actually uses the word "domàs", meaning a decorative textile that is hanged from balconies during holidays.

In 1910, Cu-cut! compared it to a mona, the cake that Catalans eat on Easter Monday, by drawing a vignette where a child says "Daddy, daddy, I want a mona as big as this one!".

Three times did the magazine El Diluvio mock this building.

First, in 1910, they called it a "Medieval architecture model, between burrow and burial, that I don't quite dislike". It described its future in the following way: "the round gaps in the façade have become dark holes where all kinds of vermin come in and out: crocodiles and rats, but also snakes, hedgehogs, owls, sea monsters... Two undulating lines wrap up the building, which stands in front of an absolutely black sky. Above it, in the rooftop, the chimneys, the air vents and the stairs' endings have stopped being whipped cream mountains to become sinister piles of skulls."

In 1911, El Diluvio striked again, comparing the building's cast iron handrails to a fish stand. Their illustration had Casa Milà with a sign saying "cod entrails sold here!".

And lastly, it made fun of the controversial statue of Our Lady of the Rosary that was supposed to go on top. The Milà family in the end decided not to place the statue (some say because they didn't like how the sculptor made it, some say it's because they were scared of having a religious symbol after the 1909 anti-clerical riots) but the architect Gaudí, who was a very religious man, insisted on having it. This caused the Milàs and Gaudí to argue, which the magazine represents with a caricature of Mr. Milà wearing a Tarzan-like loincloth and branding a whip fighting against Gaudí wearing a pith helmet, grabbing him by the hair and hitting him with a hammer. The text under the image translates to "Will the Virgin Mary stand on top of the peculiar monument? Who will win, Gaudí or Milà?".

In 1912, the popular magazine L'Esquella de la Torratxa imagined that this extravagant futuristic building could only be a garage for parking airship and air-planes. This satirical drawing is titled "Future Barcelona. The true destiny of the Milà and Pi house". (Milà and Pi were the owners of this building).

The text that accompanied this illustration wondered if this building is the Wagnerian Valhalla, an anti-aircraft defense for the Moroccan War, or a hangar for zeppelins.

What do you think? Was the banter justified?
