Hello fellows in Monzo!
Walking around Barcelona I noticed a trademark infringement. (Carrer de Corsega 452)
Just leaving this here!

Trademark infringement? Nah, nothing to see here
I think we now all need to call it āMon-th-oh!!ā for the genuine Spanish flavour.

Asked the eldest, who does Spanish, and apparently it adds emphasis so it would be Mon-th-O

Looks like Monzo will need to rebrand again!
First Mondo, then Monzo, what will the new name be?!

As I understand it, in my beginner Spanish, itās an O with an added emphasis. Those accents are usually found on vowels to emphasise their pronunciation. Itās technically the same letter though, unlike ānā and āƱā, which are different letters and why Spanish has 27 of themā¦
Interestingly, Monzo appears to have a bike rental place in Valencia and a bar in Torrevieja, Spainā¦
Itās also a village in La CoruƱa in northern Spain. Perhaps we should be pronouncing it Montho.

Anyone who can translate Spanish? Whatāre the services listed on the right?

My mate Google can. Itās not Spanish. Itās Catalan I think.
At a guess, itās a building company.
Looks like a rehabilitation/reform project & hostelry.
Literal translation is:
Rehabilitation projects
Projects for hospitality
Reforms in general
Home repairs
Spare parts and supplies

What if weāve got this the wrong way round and a Monzo designer was inspired on a wander around Barcelona a few years ago? Is everything we know a lie?!
This is, almost certainly, not true.
