Paradores De Turismo PARADOR DE LLEIDA Parador de Lleida Surroundings Multi-purpose meeting rooms, a gym, common areas to enjoy your stay and free WiFi are some of the other services on offer at this new hotel in the heart of Lleida. Lleida invites the visitor to lose themselves in the narrow winding streets and to discover the city centre, just ten minutes' walk from the Parador. Atop a hill sits La Seu Vella or Lleida's Old Cathedral, which was built back in the 13th century and which offers great views of the city and surrounding flatlands of Segre. The New Cathedral, built in the Baroque style is located in the city's commercial heart, just five minutes from the Parador. Lleida is an interesting destination for those looking to follow the Romanesque Routes, such as that area of Alta Ribagorza which boasts no fewer than nine Romanesque churches in the Vall de Boí, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature is also close at hand with the Arboreum Dr. Pius Font y Quer nearby. This is an immense botanic garden of more than 7 hectares, with 18 spaces, each representing a different area of the planet. If you like to stay active, the perfect place for playing sport and observing the flora and fauna is La Mitjana, a surprising natural area, which stretches along the edge of the city by the riverside. Lleida is the perfect location for lovers of wine tourism, as from here wineries and vineyards can be visited as it is in the centre of the Costers del Segre Designation of Origin. Here at the Parador we can provide you with information so that you can go on wine tourism routes in the area. Urban hotels at the heart of the city Parador de Lleida Rooms How to arrive The city of Lleida, the capital of the inner region of Catalonia, is located in the extreme west of the province of the same name, 155 km away from Barcelona and just 2 hours away from the Pyrenees ski slopes and 1 hour away from the beaches of the Mediterranean. The Parador is located in an old convent of the 17th century in the historic centre of the city, just a few metres away from calle Mayor and the pedestrian and commercial area. The main pedestrian access to the Parador is by Calle Cavallers (pedestrian street), through the atrium or hall of the church. The access by car is by Calle La Palma (direct access to the car park of the Parador). 20 metres away is the access to the Parador from Plaza Sant Antoni Maria Claret.

Since its very beginnings, Paradores has been a leader in gastronomy. Local, quality raw ingredients and traditional recipes combined with excellent service are the basis of Paradores' gastronomic offering. The Parador Convent del Roser de Lleida is home to a Marmita restaurant that aims to become one of the best restaurants for quality cooking in the city. The kitchen is committed to regional cooking, serving local specialities like snails, cured sausage, local casseroles and fruit along with the wines from the Designation of Origin Segre region and Extra Virgin Olive Oil with its own Protected Designation of Origin from Les Garrigues. Speciality dishes: cod and snails. On a weekend every May, locals celebrate the Aplec del Cargol, a snail-themed festival that attracts tens of thousands of people keen to feast on these tasty gastropods. Many restaurants offer cargols a la llauna, grilled snails with salt and pepper, or in dishes with other ingredients.

  • A Review of Neusibatrachus Wilferti, an Early Cretaceous Frog from the Montsec Range, Northeastern Spain
    A review of Neusibatrachus wilferti, an Early Cretaceous frog from the Montsec Range, northeastern Spain ANA M. BÁEZ and BORJA SANCHIZ Báez, A.M. and Sanchiz, B. 2007. A review of Neusibatrachus wilferti, an Early Cretaceous frog from the Montsec Range, northeastern Spain. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 52 (3): 477–487. Neusibatrachus wilferti is an anuran from the late Berriasian–early Valanginian fossiliferous lacustrine limestones that are exposed in the eastern part of the Montsec Range, province of Lleida, Spain. It was originally described by Seiffert in 1972 and its phylogenetic position has since been discussed. Neusibatrachus has been considered an undeterminable fos− sil, an abnormal individual, or a primitive palaeobatrachid. Here we redescribe the only available specimen, and clarify features, such as absence of palatines, nine presacrals, and procoelous vertebral centra, that have been the subject of previ− ous debates. We consider the specimen to be a postmetamorphic individual and make developmental interpretations of some of its characters. In particular, we provide evidence of a living anuran (Rana iberica) that resembles Neusibatrachus in the development of intervertebral articulations. Neusibatrachus is considered a valid genus, which differs from other anurans, except for the pipoids, in the joint presence of an azygous frontoparietal and a parasphenoid lacking the subotic alae, although it differs from the pipoids in having nine presacral vertebrae. Morphological evidence indicates that Neusi− batrachus is related to Xenoanura, the pipoid branch in the living Amphibia Tree of Life based on molecular data. More− over, it might be a member of the pipoid clade proper, which presently includes the Pipidae, Rhinophrynidae, and several fossil taxa, including the Palaeobatrachidae, although the evidence is not conclusive.

NAMES FOR THE UVULA IN THE WEST OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA: A GEOLINGUISTIC APPROACH1 Marta NEGRO ROMERO Instituto da Lingua Galega (USC) [email protected] Abstract This article examines the different names for the uvula in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, based on the data in the Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI), supplemented by information from regional atlases of Galician, Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese and from lexical corpora. Each name is studied from three different perspectives: an analysis of semantic motivations, which are mostly metaphorical; an analysis of geographical distribution which can shed light on processes of language change; and a formal analysis of the most common morphosyntactic structures. Keywords Lexicon, geolinguistics, semantic motivation, language change, variation AS DESIGNACIÓNS DA ÚVULA NO OESTE DA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA: UNHA APROXIMACIÓN XEOLINGÜÍSTICA Resumo Neste artigo analizamos as diversas denominacións da úvula no noroeste peninsular a partir dos datos que nos proporciona o Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI), que complementamos con datos extraídos de atlas rexionais sobre galego, catalán, español e portugués, así como de corpus lexicográficos.

  • The Pyrenees Region by Friedrich Edelmayer
    The Pyrenees Region by Friedrich Edelmayer The Pyrenees region encompasses areas from the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of France and the Principality of An- dorra. It is also linguistically heterogeneous. In addition to the official state languages Spanish and French, Basque, Aragonese, Catalan and Occitan are spoken. All of these languages have co-official character in certain regions of Spain, although not in France. In the modern era, changes to the political-geographical boundary between the present states of France and Spain occurred in the 16th century, when the Kingdom of Navarre was divided into two unequal parts, and in 1659/1660 when northern Catalonia became part of France after the Treaty of the Pyrenees. However, the border area between France and Spain was not only a stage for conflict, but also a setting for numerous communi- cation and transfer processes. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Notes Indices Citation Introduction There are three states today in the area of Europe which is dominated by the Pyrenees Mountains: the French Repub- lic (République française), the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España) and, in the middle of the (high) mountains, the small Principality of Andorra (Principat d'Andorra). The border between France and Spain runs today mostly along the main ridge of the mountains and, with few exceptions, along the watershed between the rivers that meet the sea at the Spanish coast and those that meet the sea at the French coast.

  • Annual Report 2003 Annual Report 2003 Summary
    ANNUAL REPORT 2003 ANNUAL REPORT 2003 SUMMARY Letter from the Chairman 4 FCC Group in figures: Consolidated figures 6 Services 9 Construction 35 Cement 69 Real estate 72 Other sectors 75 Environmental management 78 Personnel 82 Share figures 84 Supplementary information 86 Development and future expectations in the main sectors where the FCC Group does business 88 Board of Directors 95 Executive perssonel 96 Dear shareholders, Last fiscal year the Spanish economy continued on its path towards convergence with the European Union countries; while the gross domestic product (GDP) for the fifteen partner countries as a whole grew 0.7% in 2003, in Spain the GDP went up 2.4%, four points more than the year before. The Spanish economy’s good relative performance in 2003 was clearly mirrored by the construction sector, which experienced 3.9% growth and was by far the most dynamic of the basic sectors of the economy, thanks to the infrastructure plans the different administrations rolled out and the strong demand for new housing throughout all of Spain. In this big picture, the FCC Group’s results can be considered very good in terms of both net revenues, which rose over 10% to €6,050 million (the first time they have ever broken past one billion of the old pesetas), and profits, which went up 13.2%. Our expansion was achieved by strengthening the three basic sectors of the company that have registered significant growth in the domestic market: public services (+13.7%), construction (+16.8%) and cement (+11.4%). These percentages are more than enough to make up for lessened activity on the international market and the repercussion of the depreciation of the dollar and the other American currencies.
