The Introduction to Part I describes the terms of reference for the study as a whole and the methodology that was used. City reports were compiled on the basis of information and data that were received from respondents in each city, and are based on published documents, questionnaire responses and interviews. The intention has not been to give a comprehensive description of each ECOC. To do justice to the scope and scale of each city’s aims and objectives and their means of trying to achieve these would require considerably more time than the schedule for this study allowed. The city reports intend to offer only a brief overview of each city’s main aims and objectives, approaches to organisation and communications, programmes and projects, infrastructural developments, finances, and some of the main cultural, social, economic and tourism outcomes of the event. Those who are interested in more detail about each ECOC should consult the documents and reports that are listed in annex V in Part I. The documentation received from each city varied. Most submitted catalogues, programmes, publicity material, and final reports that were written by ECOC organisers or the municipality after the event. Other cities submitted detailed evaluation reports, and in a few cases independent studies. Financial information and budgets were collected from most cities although in some cases different sources reported different budgetary figures for the same city. Budgets were recorded in different ways across the cities and so caution should be taken when making direct comparisons between cities. Budgets have been given in Euros and exchange rates were taken from the official Europa web site, using the rates for December of the year in question. The report contains information received up until 28th June 2004. There were sometimes contradictions in the views expressed by respondents, occasionally in terms of factual information, but more often in relation to issues and problems that each ECOC faced. In certain cities, there were extreme variations between views. In the city reports, generally it is the view of the majority of respondents that is stated, although very often the minority view is also reported. Terms like ‘weak management’ or ‘poor communication’ may, for example, be considered by some respondents to be extreme when describing a particular ECOC organisation. However, the reports represent what respondents said. Considerable efforts were made to identify a mix of respondents in cities who had a range of different interests. The observations section of each city report is not intended to be a definitive statement, conclusion or evaluation, but to offer some additional information about the context in which each ECOC was operating, and to emphasise or clarify some of the details in the report. The city reports were sent to respondents in each city for comment. When comments were received, any factual errors were corrected. If individual respondents disagreed with more qualitative statements recorded in the reports, these were considered carefully, but balanced against the general views of other respondents. ECOC are complex actions, and the relative successes and weaknesses of each city generally cannot easily be attributed to any specific factor. There is always a danger when reducing the scope of a large event to a few summary pages that the complexity is lost. The objective of these city reports was to supplement with short case studies the analytical framework, summaries and conclusions contained in Part I.

The routes from the old Kingdom of Asturias were the first to take the pilgrims to Santiago. The coastal route was as busy as the other, older pilgrims’ ways long before the Spanish monarchs proclaimed the French Way to be the ideal route, and provided a link for the Christian kingdoms in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. This endorsement of the French Way did not, however, bring about the decline of the Asturian and Galician pilgrimage routes, as the stretch of the route from León to Oviedo enjoyed even greater popularity from the late 11th century onwards. The Northern Route is not a local coastal road for the sole use of the Asturians living along the Alfonso II the Chaste. shoreline. This medieval route gave rise to an Liber Testamenctorum (s. XII). internationally renowned current, directing Oviedo Cathedral archives pilgrims towards the sanctuaries of Oviedo and Santiago de Compostela, perhaps not as well- travelled as the the French Way, but certainly bustling with activity until the 18th century.

  • Music Is Emotion and Passion Azuleo Artfully Expresses This Perennial Truth in a Wind of Rhythm and Melody Gathered from the Four Corners of the Globe
    Music is emotion and passion Azuleo artfully expresses this perennial truth in a wind of rhythm and melody gathered from the four corners of the globe. The group's musical repertoire includes flamenco and jazz sounds, grounded in the rich terrain of Arabic and Spanish folklore. This international ensemble shines with virtuoso guitar playing, expressive vocals, cool saxophone sounds and spirited percussion beats. Azuleo succinctly captures the romance and charm of cultural and musical tradition, tempered by contemporary tastes and cut with the innovation of their own personal flare and duende. “Some fusion music works, some doesn’t and some simply sounds so natural that it doesn’t sound like fusion at all; this is what Azuleo sounds like! The Spanish/French/German/Palestine flamenco group “Azuleo” mix Middle Eastern flutes; Spanish flamenco guitar, percussion and vocals; along with jazz tempos; all of which is topped off with the dulcet, honeysweet vocals of Elena Botica.The virtuous guitar rhythms of Abel Sánchez are a pleasure to the ears, the jazz element is added by Joseph Carpentier on saxophone and Jonas Fehrenberg on bass, while the deep rhythmic, almost tribal passions of flamenco are brought to life by both Fehrenberg and RomeoNatour on the cajón. Furthermore, Botica adds Eastern musical sounds on the flute on some tracks along with Natour creating an array of percussion patterns of various inspirations.” World Music Travel Blog, Jenny O ́Connor BIO "Nueva Tharsis" was released in 2008 by guitarist and composer Abel Sánchez, as an offering to his native Andalusia. After moving to Berlin, the group Azuleo arose out of many musical gatherings in the Berlin music scene.
