PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS: (Public admin.) • INFO • Agriculture and Water Regional Ministry • … Introduction REGION OF MURCIA and water The Region of Murcia has always been linked to the use of water “Región de Murcia, Europe´s Orchard” (especially for agricultural productivity through irrigation), but water is a scarce resource due to the inadequacy and irregularity of rainfall. For this, the farmer in Murcia has learned how to manage scarcity and rationalize the use of water; It is also the one that has led to the gradual incorporation of technological and agronomic applications to its farms: storage and regulation techniques, localized irrigation, irrigation automation, water re-use and re-canalization ... … And this has caused the productivity of water in the Region to be among the highest in Spain. Introduction REGION OF MURCIA. Segura River Basin - Segura Hydrographic Demarcation - … the River Basin Water Authority and has most of the competences in water management in the basin (management, policy, control, etc.) Introduction NATIONAL HYDROLOGICAL PLAN 2015-2021 The transfer of water resources complemented with initiatives for desalination of marine waters, savings and reuse, is the strategic option that best meets the requirements of economic rationality and territorial balance, offering greater stability against possible changes in future scenarios, and a framework most suitable for the sustainable use of water resources. The Tagus is clearly deficient and should be dismissed because it can affect other rivers. Tagus-Segura aqueduct (water transfer) The Tajo river – Segura river water transfer which came into operation in 1979 became the most important water infrastructure in Spain. Suddenly it became possible to plant crops which require irrigation in many more areas of the Segura basin and in the Region of Murcia (Campo de Cartagena). New Hydrological Plan 2021-2027! Changes are coming Introduction Research and innovation strategies for smart specialization RIS3Mur Priorities In line with the purpose of the RIS3, in a participatory and consensual process with the collaboration of companies, organizations, research centres, etc., a limited number of economic development priorities have been identified, based on innovation and knowledge and aligned with the existing and potential sectors of the Region of Murcia.

  • Destination Region of Murcia
    PRESS Destination Region of Murcia Region of Murcia The Region of Murcia is located in south-east Spain on what is known as the Mediterranean Arc. Set between two seas –the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor– as a region, it has succeeded in combining its extensive cultural heritage with innovation and avant-garde artistic tendencies. Its most important cities are Murcia, the capital, with more than 440,000 inhabitants, Cartagena with more than 214,000 and Lorca with more than 90,000. The Region of Murcia has a population of around one and a half million and covers an area of 11,300km2. Although it is not a very large region, it offers 252km of coast and an astonishing variety of different landscapes considering its size. Diverse and accessible, it only takes a few hours to travel the length and breadth of the region. Mountains, beaches and cities dot the landscape and visitors will find history at every turn. Another of the Region of Murcia’s main attractions is its particularly good weather, with average temperatures in excess of 19ºC and 315 days of sun a year. All these factors offer visitors the opportunity to choose between a wide range of alternatives when organising their stay in the Region of Murcia. It is a destination full of contrasts, where everything is close at hand and easily accessible. Although the driving force behind the Region of Murcia’s economy has traditionally been agriculture, the Regional Government has made a firm commitment to converting the tourist sector into one of the pillars of the region’s economy.

  • The Great “Gypsy” Round-Up in Spain
    PROJECT EDUCATION OF ROMA | HISTORY ROMA CHILDREN COUNCIL CONSEIL OF EUROPE DE L´EUROPE IN EUROPE THE GREAT “GYPSY” 3.3 ROUND-UP IN SPAIN The Great Antonio Gómez Alfaro “Gypsy” Round-up in Spain A Preventive Security Measure l A Favourable Juncture l The Strategy l Funding the Round-up l The Prisoners’ Destination l Review of the Round-up l Problems with Freed “Gypsies” l The Reasons for the Pardon l An Unexpected Delay The Age of Enlightened Absolutism provided the authorities with increasing opportunities to apply their measures on all the citizens in their range of power. In Spain, this resulted in the most painful episode in the history of the country’s “Gypsy” community: the general round-up carried out during the reign of Ferdinand VI, on July 30, 1749. The operation, which was as thorough as it was indiscriminate, led to the internment of ten to twelve thousand people, men and women, young and old, “simply because they were Gypsies.” The co-ordination of the different public authorities involved, the co-operation of the Church, which remained passive in the face of such injustice, the excesses committed by all those who made the operation possible, and the collaboration of the prisoners’ fellow citizens and neighbours made “Black Wednesday”, as the round-up is also called, an unchallenged event in the long history of European anti-“Gypsyism”.

We provide a functional analytic foundation for large deviations built on the notion of max-stable monetary risk measure. We introduce the LDP for max-stable monetary risk measures and establish the Varadhan-Bryc equivalence between the LDP and the LP by showing that a max-stable monetary risk measure satisfies the LDP if and only if it has a representation in terms of the LP.

Ambos crearon un recorrido conformado como secuen- cia de espacios que invita al baño solar y marino y a la contemplación del paisaje. El itinerario comienza con una pasarela en un cantil, que incluye un mirador en un resalte, y se prolonga en una línea de tarimas de madera de pino tratada. La zona interme- dia se reserva para la recuperación de flora autóctona, y en el tramo final una curva CARMELO SUÁREZ CABRERA, ANTONIO rematada por una plaza de piedra ofrece un SUÁREZ LINARES • 2008 hermoso panorama de la ciudad. Playa de El Confital IGLESIA DE SAN PEDRO 2 Situada en el barrio de La Isleta, en las inmediaciones de La Puntilla, la actual Igle- sia de San Pedro se levanta sobre el solar de un templo anterior erigido aproxima- damente en 1915. José Sánchez Murcia la construyó bajo el influjo de la arquitectura brasileña de los sesenta, patente especial- mente en la celosía de hormigón. Ésta da evanescencia a la separación entre el exte- rior y el interior y durante el día inunda este último de luz puntiforme.

Agüera Ros Universidad de Murcia Hacia mediados de 1552, concretamente el 6 de junio de ese año, en la ciudad de Murcia el pintor Juan de Vitoria declaraba haber concertado con un tal Alonso de Tenza, vecino de la misma, el retablo mayor de la ermita de Santiago Apóstol, que para entonces ya tenía hecho, pintado y asentado, por lo cual ambos comparecían para que tasaran el conjunto Ginés de Escobar y Andrés de Llanos, también pintores, quienes lo valoraron en 155 ducados, no en diez menos como por error después se ha repetido. Esta información descubierta y publicada al pormenor, hasta en lo documental, por el investigador López Jiménez, que asimismo estudió por vez primera en profundidad la índole y filiación artística tanto del pintor como de dicha obra, corresponde en efecto al conjunto que presidía el presbiterio de aquel recinto religioso, uno de los más antiguos de la ciudad por remontarse su fundación al momento de la Reconquista cris- tiana, en el último tercio del siglo XIII, aunque su fábrica mudéjar sea posterior'. El retablo se estructuraba con calle central ocupada por una gran imagen de Santiago pere- grino de talla, a la que enmarcaban pinturas al óleo en tabla representando, en las calles latera- les, las dos mayores a izquierda y derecha a los Santos Juan Evangelista y Pedro Apóstol; sobre ellas respectivamente aparecían la Predicación y Martirio de Santiago y entre ambas la Translación del cuerpo del Santo, ésta como remate de la imagen de bulto.
