  • 1 One of Many Interesting Demo-Geographic Processes In
    TOPIC/SESSION 401 (REGIONAL AND URBAN ISSUES) GUIDELINES OF SECOND HOMES LOCATION IN SPANISH URBAN POPULATION: SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC AND TERRITORIAL ANALYSIS. JUAN ANTONIO MÓDENES CABRIZO Department of Geography, Autonomous University of Barcelona and Demographic Studies Centre JULIAN LÓPEZ COLÁS Demographic Studies Centre (Barcelona, Spain) BRENDA YÉPEZ MARTÍNEZ Demographic Studies Centre (Barcelona, Spain) One of many interesting demo-geographic processes in Spain become the expansion of the second homes and the consequent transformation of wide zones close to the big cities, coasts, and interior zones which turned to be increasingly attractive. Most second homes are purchased for personal reasons. In some cases owners use their second home as a sort of refuge to temporarily escape their urban environment. Part of this demand, specially in the Mediterranean coast occurs because the international request attracted by the climate, the differential level in life standards, and the present transport facility. Nonetheless, the internal demand is very important and continues to grow. If in 1991, 12% of the Spanish resident homes possessed a secondary household, in 2001 it was already increasing to 15%. Almost one of each seven homes is immersed in multiple residence strategy. Diverse studies have demonstrated the interactions between housing characteristics, those related to the habitual residences and the possession of second homes. Generally they have concluded that the main explanatory factors are, on one hand, a dense and compact habitat, and by other hand, the socio-demographics and socioeconomic status of secondary residence users. Nevertheless, the guideline of location of this type of housing and its interaction with homes characteristics seems to be a less treated subject.

  • Vía De La Plata (Sevilla) General Description: This Route Was Used by Mozárabic Pilgrims During the Period of Muslim Domination of Spain
    Vía de la Plata (Sevilla) General Description: This route was used by Mozárabic pilgrims during the period of Muslim domination of Spain. ~1000 km from Sevilla traveling through Mérida, Cáceres and Salamanca to Zamora then via one of several variants to Santiago. From Zamora the pilgrim can continue directly northward to join the Camino francés at Astorga. An alternative is to turn northwest to reach Santiago directly by traveling either into Portugal via Bragança and Verin (Vía Portugués de la Vía de la Plata, 382 km Zamora to Santiago) or via Puebla de Sanabria (Camino Sanabrés, 400 km Zamora to Santiago). Waymarking: Well waymarked throughout with yellow arrows. Terrain: Undulating and not very difficult walking as far as Zamora although some of the distances between settlements are very long. This is a situation that is improving every year with the opening of new refuges. After Zamora all of the variants to the Camino francés or directly to Santiago have many steep climbs and descents. When to go: Setting out on the Vía de la Plata in late June through August would be nigh unto suicidal. Southern Spain in the summer is HOT! September and October would be reasonable except that you will be walking toward winter weather in the northern reaches. Following spring northward starting in April would be a good choice. Climate charts for Sevilla, Cáceres, Salamanca and Zamora. Accommodation: There are an increasing number of pilgrim-oriented facilities, some of them albergues as such, others places where the accommodation will be a spot on the floor and roof over your head (e.g., sports halls or parish rooms).
