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.

  • Camino De Santiago a Finisterre
    CAMINO DE SANTIAGO A FINISTERRE En toda la Europa atlántica fueron cristianizados los antiguos cultos paganos a los astros y a las piedras, normalmente relacionados con la fecundidad, lo cual propició que los viejos ritos se transformaran en leyendas. La cristianización consistió en asociar estos antiguos lugares, piedras y colinas sagrados, con santos, algunos de ellos llegados del mar. Surgiendo así la aparición de María a Santiago montada en un barco de piedra, en el lugar de Muxía, donde fue levantada una ermita, en el siglo XVIII transformada en santuario. Y todos los primeros días de septiembre se celebra una nutrida romería en nombre de Nuestra Señora de la Barca. También el cabo Fisterra según el Códice Calixtino (s. XII) fue motivo de que los discípulos de Santiago trajeran al Apóstol desde Palestina a Santiago por Dugium, actual Duio. Cómo no, también tenemos en Fisterra al Santo Cristo, que también llegó por mar y le crecen las uñas y el cabello. Curiosamente en Semana Santa (Fiesta de Interés Turístico Nacional), se celebran, no la Pasión y la Muerte, sino la Resurrección. Cristo es así, como el sol, que tras perderse en el océano insondable de la muerte, resucita de las tinieblas. Así pues Fisterra y Muxía quedaron para siempre unidas a la leyenda jacobea. En Hospital de Logoso (Dumbría) ya había un hospital a finales del siglo XII, y en la Baja Edad Media hubo otros en Bon Xesús, Cee, Corcubión, Fisterra y Muxía, creando una red asistencial de apoyo al caminante. Desde el siglo XIV contamos con diarios y relatos de peregrinos, de diversas nacionalidades, en los que suelen mezclarse la devoción y la curiosidad por conocer el fin de la tierra, el lugar donde termina la ruta coincidente con la trayectoria del astro rey y de la Via Láctea que había guiado a los peregrinos del Camino Francés, tal y como sigue sucediendo en la actualidad.

  • Conexión Do Corredor Brión-Noia Coa Estrada AC500 En Taramancos
    Conexión do corredor Brión-Noia coa estrada AC500 en Taramancos Esta actuación que conecta ambos lados de la ría de Noia, antes de llegar a su casco urbano, fue llevada a cabo por la Axencia Galega de infraestruturas dentro del eje 4, tema prioritario 23 del P.O. 2007-2013. El importe total de la obra asciende a 43.585.867,99 €, el importe elegible a 30.294.150,50 € y la ayuda FEDER a 24.235.320,40 €. Actualmente la red viaria en torno al núcleo de Noia está configurada por una serie de vías, de titularidad autonómica, que constituyen las infraestructuras vertebradoras de la ría de Muros y Noia. Las más importantes son: el corredor BriónͲNoia, que proporciona conexión directa entre Noia y Santiago; la ACͲ 550, que discurre paralelamente al bordel litoral de Noia; y la ACͲ553, que representa la principal vía interior de acceso al municipio desde los municipios limítrofes. Las comarcas de Muros y Noia, así como su área de influencia, presentan características eminentemente agrícolas, turísticas y pesqueras, y están situadas próximas a Santiago de Compostela. La localidad de Noia, debido a su condición de capital comarcal y a su situación en el fondo de la ría, constituye el nudo de comunicaciones más importante de la zona. A pesar de que las intensidades de tráfico en la zona no son elevadas (IMD de 6.400, mínima de 4.500 y máxima de 9.200 en agosto; 6,4% de pesados), el tránsito de la carretera ACͲ550 por el núcleo de Noia obligaba al tráfico de medio y largo recorrido a circular por una travesía netamente urbana, siendo importantes las interferencias entre los desplazamientos locales (rodados y peatonales) y los supralocales, que provocaban frecuentes problemas de seguridad viaria en la zona.

  • Papa Godello
    Papa Godello DO Valdeorras, the “Gateway to Galicia,” is a region rich in history, both of wine and far beyond. Located in interior Galicia in Northwestern Spain, this appellation is protected by mountains on both sides, making it warmer than its neighbors to the west and cooler than its neighbors to the east. Dubbed the “Valley of Gold” by the Romans, it was beloved for the moderate climate that allowed them to plant olives and almonds further north on the supply line than they had historically been able to. The Ladera Sagrada estate, or “sacred slopes,” where Papa Godello is made, is located directly alongside the famed Camino de Santiago, the pilgrimage route that ends in Santiago de Compostela. Steeply sloped, terraced vineyards of slate and granite are the hallmark of this terroir, and Godello is the most widely planted grape. Generous, clean, and well-balanced with a persistent beam of minerality through the middle, the Papa is a classic expression of Godello’s charm, and of Valdeorras itself. WHAT MAKES THIS WINE UNIQUE?: Ladera Sagrada uses the best 20% of its estate vineyards to make this wine. Papa is a clean, classic expression of Godello with beautiful minerality and just enough stony fruit to soften the slatey palate. Its persistent acidity and balance make it a versatile pair—try it with funky dishes!--and also give it the structure to age for years. RATING HISTORY: 2015 90VM; 2014 90VM; 2013 90IWC GRAPE: 100% Godello. The vines were planted in 1983 (average). Tended in granite, clay and slate soil at an average of 600 m (1,968 ft) elevation.

LXIV, n.o 2, pp. 117-148, julio-diciembre 2009, ISSN: 0034-7981, eISSN: 1988-8457, doi: 10.3989/rdtp.2009.001 (Re)conociendo Mondoñedo. El pasado se proyecta como futuro (Re)cognizing Mondoñedo: The Past Projects Itself as Future Elena Freire Paz Departamento de Filosofía y Antropología Social Universidade de Santiago de Compostela RESUMEN La autora se acerca a la realidad socio-cultural actual creada en Mondoñedo, ciudad del interior de la provincia de Lugo (Galicia, España), teniendo en cuenta las bruscas transformaciones económicas, sociales y culturales acontecidas en las últimas décadas. Si, desde una perspectiva externa, el movimiento económico global ha motivado la trans- formación de determinadas pautas culturales en todo el mundo, los cambios propicia- dos desde el interior de cualquier sistema cultural han repercutido en la génesis de una interesante planificación de marcado carácter cultural. El desarrollo local de la zona gira en torno al aprovechamiento de determinados recursos culturales como impulsores y dinamizadores de un territorio estrangulado por un fuerte descenso poblacional, la pér- dida de consideración hegemónica de la villa frente a la capitalidad de la provincia, el abandono del sector primario y la escasez de actividades del sector secundario. Palabras clave: Globalización, Galicia, Patrimonio cultural, Desarrollo local, Turismo. SUMMARY The author approaches the current socio-cultural reality in the town of Mondoñedo (province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain) by considering the rapid economic, social and cul- tural changes that have taken place there over the past few decades. Whereas from an outside perspective the global economic process has resulted in the transformation of certain cultural patterns everywhere, the changes occurred inside any cultural system have brought about the inception of an interesting strategy of a clearly cultural character.

  • Train Across Spain
    BARCELONA TIME TRAVELLER COMPANION GUIDE TRAIN ACROSS SPAIN A tour from Barcelona to the Galician coast Wes Gibbons 2017 For the Indie Traveller looking for something a bit different, here is an idea: travel more than one thousand kilometres across Spain coast to coast by train, staying in places less adventurous tourists will never see. The range of scenery is spectacular: across the Catalan Coastal Ranges and over the semi- desert of Los Monegros to follow the Ebro valley through the vineyards of La Rioja, then past the high plains of Castilla y Leon to the remote and scenic hill country of Galicia, finally reaching the Atlantic shoreline of Las Rias Altas. Equally enticing is the range of local food and wine waiting to be sampled along the journey. Traveling by train in Spain is generally civilised and stress-free (once you have your ticket) and you will have plenty of room with great views along the way. It would be wrong not to. The route starts on the Mediterranean coast at Barcelona and travels west on a direct train via Zaragoza to La Rioja and a night in Logroño or Haro. The next day involves a shorter journey on two trains to the cathedral town of Burgos in Castilla y Leon. The third day route heads west across Castilla y Leon into Galicia to overnight in Monforte de Lemos. Here we recommend a break, staying for two nights to appreciate the town and the opportunities it offers for walking, history, wine and food. Continuing west, the route moves through Galicia to Santiago de Compostela.
