The certificate thing! I remember going to the pharmacy in my parents' village and the pharmacist had not only her certificate on the wall, but also a framed poster consisting of photos of all the pharmacists who graduated with her in the same year from Granada Uni. It was from the 70s, I think, but all the photos were black and white oval portraits like you see on graves, which gave it an oddly sepulchral vibe. It seemed very Spanish but I couldn't explain why - but your post has cleared that cultural connumdrum up for me!
