Ride World Wide Spain Seville Ride, Andalucia 2021 RIDE WORLD WIDE SPAIN SEVILLE RIDE, ANDALUCIA 2021 RIDE INFORMATION These rides in Andalucia are one of the special Portfolio of Spanish rides developed by our long term partner in Spain, Maria Elena Dendaluce, in conjunction with carefully selected local guides. The rides, which are in different regions of Spain, have been chosen primarily for the quality of horses and riding experience they offer - but also for their dedicated owner-operating guides, who are passionate about their horses, their local area, its history and customs. We believe that on a small group holiday, your guides are all-important. Those who have ridden with Maria Elena before will know she is a terrific travel companion. Like her, the local Spanish guides are experienced, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They will show you what is unique about the region you are visiting and together with Maria Elena will do their utmost to ensure a fantastic experience - there’s no better way to see Spain. Sevilla is the capital of Andalusia and the province of Seville. Situated on the plain of the River Guadalquivir it is, without doubt, one of Spain’s most beautiful cities. The Sevillanos are an extremely proud and passionate people. To many, Sevilla is not just a place, it is a way of life. The Guadalquivir, Semana Santa, the April Feria, Velazquez, Don Juan Tenorio, orange blossom, the dancing of Sevillanas … Sevilla is bright, beautiful and a city that must be seen and experienced. These rides start from a ‘Cortijo’, or Andalucian country house, to the southwest of Seville. They follow routes used by mounted pilgrims on their way to El Rocío, Spain’s International village of the horse and in May each year site of a fantastic mounted pilgrimage in honour of the Virgin Mary. In autumn 2015 permission was obtained to ride through the western part of the Donana Reserve to the Andalucian coast and the longer rides now explore this little visited area ending with a couple of nights - and some wonderfully exhilarating canters - at a gloriously secluded beach. All in all they are a unique opportunity to see the area - to visit some of the regions traditional country houses, learn the customs of Andalucia and to ride through the environs of the Doñana National Park, a floodplain where forests of pine, savin, eucalyptus and cork oak, sand dunes and marshland provide winter home to a huge array of migratory birds. A wonderful way to enjoy the kingdom of the Andalucian horse. DATES The Seville Ride is a 7 night itinerary, with 6 days riding a progressive route, running Sunday to Sunday from set dates between October and April. Please see set dates at the end of this Information sheet and contact us to check availability. WWW.RIDEWORLDWIDE.COM HORSES The horses used are Hispano-Arab, Anglo-Hispano, Arab and Andalucian crosses ranging from about 15 to 16hh and selected for their good nature and endurance. Many have been bred by Alfonso and all have been well schooled by him, with several competing in dressage, TREC endurance and eventing competitions. Typically they are spirited but sensitive, responsive but calm and well mannered. They are also energetic, fit and a real delight to ride. TACK Good quality English style, with leather general-purpose saddles, seat savers and saddle-bags provided. RIDING 7 night rides include 6 days riding, with between 4 and (on one day) 6 hours in the saddle each day. Rides are led by a local Spanish guide, Alfonso Gonzalo de Bustos, an expert horseman who is knowledgeable and passionate about the horses, traditions and countryside of Andalucia and usually accompanied by Maria Elena, as translator and co-host. Maria Elena’s experience organising rides in various regions of Spain together with Alfonso’s horses, expert knowledge and enthusiasm for Andalucia, ensure a wonderful, memorable week. Set date rides are run for groups of a minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 riding guests. Back up is excellent and a support vehicle is on hand throughout the trip, transporting the luggage and meeting the group for aperitifs and lunch stops. Horses are prepared and looked after by grooms (although you are welcome to help if you wish). WEIGHT LIMIT 90kgs (14 stone) in riding clothes - if you are close to this please contact us before booking to ensure a suitable horse is available. PACE The pace of the ride is moderate overall with good opportunities for energetic trots and canters on the many wide sandy tracks. RIDING EXPERIENCE These rides are aimed at reasonably experienced riders and to participate you should be a reasonably competent rider who is comfortable, well balanced, secure in the saddle and able to control a well-schooled horse in open country at all paces. Although you don't need to be an expert rider, you must be used to riding in open country, at a varied pace (including long energetic canters) and with a group of horses. You also need a reasonable level of riding fitness to cope with fairly long riding hours on consecutive days. TERRAIN The area you ride through is typically quite flat - mostly floodplain and you will see no mountains but woods of pine, oak and holm oak, cut by sand tracks. Close to La Corbera, where the horses are based, there is farmland, almond and orange orchards, vineyards, olive groves and grassy pasture. Then as you reach the Donana Reserve, there are patches of marsh and open water-meadow. On the last day you ride through sand dunes and on a several km long, usually deserted, beach at Mazagon. Overall the going underfoot is excellent for horses and the route followed is predominantly on soft sand tracks through pine forest, with some stretches of “dehesas” (oak land and pasture) on privately owned estates. In places you will ride on tar or gravel roads. WWW.RIDEWORLDWIDE.COM ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is at comfortable Andalusian Cortijos and hotels. Cortijo de La Corbera, Alfonso’s home, where the first two nights are spent, has 7 twin / double guest rooms, each with en-suite bathroom and separate entrance porch, in a building in the gardens of the finca. They are furnished and decorated in typical Andalucian style, with wood or wrought iron furniture and fittings, geranium covered brick patios and terracotta tiled floors. Cortijo Ardea Purpurea (‘Purple Heron’) where one night is spent (3* standard) is within the boundaries of the Doñana Nature Reserve and built in the traditional country style with white washed walls, thatched roofs and exposed wood beams. There are about 14 guest rooms here all with separate entrance / terrace (some in individual bungalows), set in large grounds, with swimming pool and views of the lagoon. On 7 night rides you usually stay for two nights at Casa Rural El Lince in the center of the village of El Rocio, and the last two nights are spent at the 4* Parador of Mazagon set amongst pine forest of the Donana National Park with views out to the sea and Mazagon beach. Accommodation throughout is well chosen and rooms on all nights are double or twin bedded with private en-suite bathroom (shower and loo). Single rooms can usually be arranged on request at an additional charge although where the number of rooms is limited, singles are on a ‘first come/ first served’ basis. All hotels have WiFi but speed varies. MEALS Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day on the ride is included (dinner Day 1 to breakfast Day 8) as well as a mid-morning aperitif. Breakfast is at your hotel and is generally simple in Spanish style - bread, cake or croissant, perhaps yoghurt, fruit and tea or coffee. Light tapas and a selection of drinks including the delicious fino - "manzanilla’’- are served mid-morning at an 'aperitif' stop and lunch is a substantial picnic, eaten at a long table set up in the countryside. It might be a delicious gazpacho soup followed by a paella, freshly cooked on the spot, or dishes prepared by a local restaurant, served with a selection of salads, bread and cheeses. Dinner is three courses usually eaten at your hotel. Menus are carefully selected to allow you to sample regional specialities. Meal times are generally a little later than in England - breakfast is usually around 8.30am, aperitif at 12.30-1.00pm, lunch at around 2 to 2.30pm and dinner served at about 9pm. Vegetarians and those with other particular diets can be catered for with advance notice - please tell us of any special diet requests when you book. A selection of soft drinks, beer, good local wines and tea and coffee are all included with lunch and dinner. WEATHER The climate in this part of Spain is nearly tropical and winter months are best for riding with gentle temperatures that range, on average, from a daytime maximum of 18 to 22ºC and a minimum at night of around 8 to 10ºC. In February, March and November the average number of days with rain is about 5 a month. WWW.RIDEWORLDWIDE.COM WHAT TO BRING We will send you a list when you book. ITINERARY The daily routine is generally to set off at about 10am riding for a couple of hours before stopping for a rest and aperitif to keep you going until lunch. You then ride on for about 2 hours before lunch. After lunch and a siesta until about 4pm, you will ride until early evening, stopping at about 6 or 7 pm or sometimes a little later. An example of the 7 night Trails of Andalucia itinerary planned is set out below but please note that this is only an example and your guide may change the day-by-day route if the weather or other local conditions require.

ROSE´ S London School of Economics and Political Sciencec ABSTRACT This article makes the first systematic attempt to analyse quantitatively the evolution of Spanish housing markets from 1904 to 1934, a period of dramatic changes in housing demand as a consequence of substantial income and demographic growth. In order to do so, we collect a new database on houses sold and their prices using data from the Registrar’s Yearbooks. Furthermore, we construct a new hedonic index of real housing prices for Spain and its provinces. To our surprise, we found that real housing prices rose slightly over the entire period and, hence, that housing supply responded effectively to new demand for housing.

  • Strikes and Rural Unrest During the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): a Geographic Approach
    sustainability Article Strikes and Rural Unrest during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): A Geographic Approach Javier Puche 1,* and Carmen González Martínez 2 1 Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Ciudad Escolar s/n, 44003 Teruel, Spain 2 Faculty of Letters, University of Murcia, Campus de la Merced, 30071 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-978-645-337 Received: 27 October 2018; Accepted: 17 December 2018; Published: 21 December 2018 Abstract: This article analyses the evolution and geographic distribution of the rural unrest that prevailed during the years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936), a period characterised by political instability and social conflict. The number of provincial strikes recorded in the forestry and agricultural industries and complied by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare constitute the primary source of the study. Based on this information, maps of the regional and provincial distribution of the agricultural unrest have been created for the republican period. The results reveal that, contrary to the traditional belief which confines the rural unrest of this period to the geographic areas of the latifundios (large estates), Spanish agriculture, in all its diversity, was hit by collective disputes. Although the areas of the latifundios were most affected by the agricultural reform of 1932, the data show that the extension of the unrest in the Spanish countryside was also the result of the refusal of the landowners to accept and apply the new republican collective bargaining agreement. The number of strikes increased during the period 1931–1933, fell between 1934 and 1935, and increased again during the months of the Popular Front (February to July 1936).

  • Tour Extension Itinerary – 'Historical' Overview
    Tour Extension Itinerary – ‘Historical’ 3 days/3 nights Overview Our ‘historical’ tour extension is a fascinating ‘add-on’ to our main tours for guests who would like to visit additional locations with a historic bias. The fascinating Ruined Royal City of Medina Azahara, the imposing fortress of ‘La Mota’, the Baroque town of Priego de Córdoba and the walled City of Carmona are packaged together to make a wonderful extra few days to your tour. For the extension, you stay in our lovely guest house Villa or one of the Antequera Hotels. Day 1: MEDINA AZAHARA After breakfast, we depart for the ruined Royal City of Abd al-Rahman III (891AD to 961AD), the most powerful ruler of al-Andalus who claimed the title of ‘Caliph’ (Ruler of the Islamic World). Known as the shining City El Ciudad Brillante, Medina Azahara is now a large archaeological site which you can wander around. It was constructed as a vast, fortified Palace City on the western outskirts of Córdoba. Building started in 936 AD and at its height, it was said to be the most beautiful City in the world, with marble and limestone buildings, red granite floors, stunning arches and water features. It became the defacto capital of Islamic Spain and the heart of the administration and government was within its walls. The city included ceremonial reception halls, mosques, administrative and government offices, gardens, a mint, workshops, barracks, residences and baths. Water was supplied through aqueducts. The main reason for its construction was political and ideological,. The importance of the Caliph required the establishment of a new city.

  • Innovative Learning Environments (ILE)
    Directorate for Education Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI), OECD Innovative Learning Environments (ILE) INVENTORY CASE STUDY CEIP Andalucía (Seville, Spain) Spain This is a pre-primary and primary state school with all learners at risk of exclusion and very high numbers from the gypsy community. The teachers fostered the change and considered learning communities to be a key concept in providing quality education and to break the circle of poverty and social exclusion. These are realised through such activities and approaches as: weekly tutorship; students’ representative meetings; discussion on the subjects for project work; the monthly family assembly; a close collaboration with the Administration for Education; and the assessment tool elaborated by staff together with a committee from the Learning Communities Programme which comprises indicators of achievements and obstacles while also guiding improvements. A key feature is the interactive groups based on cooperative learning. The learners split up into subgroups of 5 or 6 students each; lesson time is divided in periods of 15-20 minutes, each devoted to a different activity all subject related, with subgroup dynamics coordinated by volunteers from families, the university, and collaborating associations. Project work in a single class or in a grade or group of different grades aims to overcome curriculum fragmentation and is organised around four stages: planning, searching, organising, assessing. This Innovative Learning Environment case study has been prepared specifically for the OECD/ILE project. Research has been undertaken by Natalia Bernabeu Moron, Ana Turrado López and Jorge A. Fernández de los Ríos (intern) under the supervision of Alejandro García Cuadra from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport/National Centre for Innovation and Research in Education, following the research guidelines of the ILE project.

  • Conspiracy, Coup D'état and Civil War in Seville
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Conspiracy, coup d’état and civil war in Seville (1936-1939): History and myth in Francoist Spain Rúben Emanuel Leitão Prazeres Serém A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, November 2012 1 Declaration I, Ruben Emanuel Leitão Prazeres Serém, hereby declare that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I declare that my thesis consists of 105,340 words. 2 Abstract This thesis deconstructs the bases of enduring Francoist myth that General Queipo de Llano heroically conquered Seville with a handful of soldiers. Having established the full ramifications of that conquest, it goes on to assess the political, social, economic and cultural implications of the Spanish Civil War in Seville, the largest urban centre to fall to the military rebels at the beginning of the conflict. Chapter I examines the nature and infrastructure of the military conspiracy against the democratic Republic developed in response to the Popular Front electoral victory of February 1936. Chapter II scrutinises the career of General Queipo, in particular his metamorphosis from a marginal figure in the conspiracy into a rebel secular saint.
