Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together in harmony here for centuries, leaving their indelible mark on Toledo’s streets, monuments and buildings. Its old town was declared a World Heritage in 1986. This center sits majestically above the Tagus River and now, represents one of the most visited sites in all Spain. UCLM has firmed up its presence in Toledo at two different cam- puses: the Faculties settled in the city’s historical quarter and in the old Weapons Factory of Toledo and in Talavera de la Reina, another important city in the city network of the region. Ciudad Real Founded by King Alfonso X in the 13th century, Ciudad Real has consolidated itself as one of the most important cities in La Mancha, the land of don Quixote. It is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes included in the National Parks list. The Ciudad Real Campus is located in the center of the city and is home to the Rectorate of the University. About 100 kilometers away from Ciudad Real, in Almadén, stands the Polytechnic School. It is the result of and also the tribute to the city’s mining tradition, a mining district which in- cludes the world’s largest mercury mine, exploited in a practical- ly continuous way since Romans times. Almadén was declared a World Heritage site in 2012. University of UCLM Castilla-La Mancha Cuenca A city which touches all your senses. In 1996 Cuenca was de- clared by UNESCO a World Heritage City, for its wonderful pres- ervation of the original urban setting with its medieval fortress, its rich civil and religious architecture dating from the 12th to the 18th Centuries and for the exceptional way the city is embraced by its beautiful natural surroundings. Cuenca is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, where history, art, culture, urban and natural landscapes can all be found in one place. The campus of Cuenca is situated in the outskirts of the city with a complex of buildings which preserves all historical and artistic tra- dition determined by the location of a large part of its facilities in a World Heritage City mixed with the most advanced technologies.

La pieza debe proceder de Capuchinos, una importante necrópolis ibérica situada en el tramo de Mogente al Cerro de los Santos del “Camino de Aníbal”, que ha proporcionado un destacado conjunto de elementos arquitectónicos y escultóricos.

    Albacete | Ciudad Real | Cuenca | Guadalajara | Toledo Villarrobledo 1/5 Visita Principales atractivos Villarrobledo, a 86 km de la capital, es una de las grandes poblaciones de la Mancha albacetense. Recoge en su término municipal las pedanías de Moharras y Casa de Peñas. Fue el siglo XVI el de su esplendor económico y social, como demuestran varias de las construcciones que se hicieron durante esta centuria como la actual iglesia de San Blas , varios conventos e incluso la casa del Ayuntamiento . Todas ellas son visitas de interés. Pero además, ofrece un conjunto urbano de calles amplias y muros encalados al estilo de otras poblaciones manchegas característicos de la industria bodeguera que prevalece en la zona. Mención aparte merecen sus Carnavales , unos de los más importantes de España, declarados de interés turístico nacional. Qué veremos Podemos hacer la primera parada de nuestro paso por Villarrobledo en su Plaza Mayor, donde encontraremos algunos de sus edificios más importantes, por ejemplo el Ayuntamiento y la Iglesia de San Blas. Ambas construcciones y la propia plaza están declarados Bien de Interés Cultural, otorgando a este pedazo de terreno un valor patrimonial incalculable. La iglesia de San Blas merece un punto y aparte, se levantó sobre los restos de la antigua, que se había quedado pequeña, a lo largo del siglo XVI. Su construcción tuvo varias fases y por tanto observaremos en ella diferentes estilos arquitectónicos, desde el gótico al barroco pasando por el renacimiento. En la capilla mayor encontraremos la joya de la iglesia, un colosal retablo barroco de estilo churrigueresco, obra de Marcos de Evangelio en el siglo XVIII.

The importance of human images in the development of Iberian megalithic art supports an evolution of these contents toward pieces with engraved weapons which dating back to the 3rd millennium cal BC. From the analysis of the evidences reported by the whole geographical sector, this paper is also aimed at determining if the graphic resources used in these stelae express any kind of identity. Visible stelae in barrows and chambers from the 3rd millennium cal BC would be the images around which sepulchral areas were progressively added, thus constituting true ancestral references throughout the Bronze Age.

    IDENTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS AND VULNERABLE ZONES IN TRANSITIONAL AND COASTAL PORTUGUESE SYSTEMS J. G. Ferreira T. Simas A. Nobre M. C. Silva K. Shifferegger J. Lencart-Silva Application of the United States National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment to the Minho, Lima, Douro, Ria de Aveiro, Mondego, Tagus, Sado, Mira, Ria Formosa and Guadiana systems ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements The data required for this study exist for many Portuguese estuaries and coastal lagoons. However, data producers often do not make this information widely available; as a result, very limited datasets are sometimes extrapolated to describe the pressures and state of a particular system. INAG, the Portuguese Water Institute, has strongly endorsed open standards in access to water quality data, and has promoted many initiatives which help Portugal have a modern outlook on the relevance of public data dissemination. We thank INAG for the opportunity which this work has given us to play a part in information sharing in estuarine research. Our sincere thanks go to all the scientific community, which contributed data and information for this study. In particular, we must mention those who greatly improved the substance of this work, providing advice, suggesting interpretations, and critically reviewing the text: they played a key consultancy role in the development of the NEEA approach to Portuguese estuaries. Suzanne Bricker, from the Special Projects Office, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, coordinator of the NEEA study carried out for 138 estuaries in the United States. Suzanne was an enthusiastic supporter throughout, and supplied us with much good advice on methodological issues. She worked with us both in Portugal and in the U.S.

Places to delight your senses, to live adventures and dis - cover, places that seduce you. Travelling its routes and paths the visitor will not be left indifferent. Pasaje de Lodares. AMAZING ALBACETE Coming to Albacete is easy. Located between the centre of the peninsula and the coasts of Le - vante, it is a historical crossroad. You can reach Albacete by train, road and even by plane. A great city awaits you. It is a relevant commercial, industrial, administrative and service centre that of - fers an interesting cultural heritage and a delicious cuisine. Come to Albacete, the most popu - lous city in Castile-La Mancha and travel through a region full of surprising contrasts. The name of the city comes from the Arabic Al-Basit (the plain), name given to a small farmhouse by the Arabs. It became independent from the town of Chinchilla in 1375 and started to expand thanks to the continuous royal concessions such as the one made by the Catholic Monarchs, which allowed the town to hold a weekly free market; or the concessions made by Philip IV in 1710, which gave the city the privilege to hold an annual fair.

Also for all the other Professors and Teachers who have taught me over the last two years. The people of the Museum of Macao and the Instituto Tera e Memoria (ITM) and all colleagues who have walked in and out of the Rock Art Laboratory at the ITM. A few people in particular that I must express a few words to. First of all Jorge Cristovao with all his subtle encouragements and energy which kept up my spirits at a time when it seemed like everything was touch and go. I have to express myself in a way that I could not in person, and that is to tell you, that you are more than a colleague but a good friend. The next on this list is Thalison dos Santos whom I have to be honest and say was my ‘sparring partner’ for the completion of this Master Thesis. The numerous discussions spent over late nights, expanding the hours each time proved to be fruitful engagements of both our intellects and tested at the same time, our strenghts and weaknesses in character.
