*How to dress like a Spanish punkara rocker:
1. Take a low, loose or flimsily cut fabric.
2. Add a silkscreen of Che Guevara, Zapatistas or the Palestinian flag.
3. Emblazon cheery designs with skull and crossbones images of fire, shit, or sex, and work in a good cuss word and/or sexual innuendo. The blunter, the better.
4. Decorate wit ha jagged pattern of large, bulky safety pins. Rip large holes (preferably across the breasts) for a real Frankenstein effect.
5. Top with a paperboy hat (maybe in clashing stripes, polka dots or plaid), a discolored bandanna or otherwise ripped and faded fabric.
Shoes range from the classic multicolored low-top Converse to purple, thick-soled Doc Martens, gothic men's sneakers, hippie Birkenstock ripoffs, to, well, Frodo-style bare feet.
This series is taken verbatim from a series of journals I kept while living in Spain, 2006-2007.

Did you take the pic?
Alas, no! I took a throwaway camera with me that trip, sensing (rightfully) that it was going to rain and I would be muddy.
Due credit for the photo goes to a Spanish music blog called Dentro Musica:

The photo is of a Spanish band I love, Ojos de Brujo.
