  • Guide of Granada
    Official guide City of Granada 3 Open doors To the past. To the future. To fusion. To mix. To the north. To the south. To the stars. To history. To the cutting edge. To the night. To the horizon. To adventure. To contemplation. To the body. To the mind. To fun. To culture. Open all year. Open to the world. Welcome The story of a name or a name for history 5TH CENTURY B.C.: the Turduli founded Elybirge. 2ND CENTURY B.C.: the Romans settled in Florentia Iliberitana. 1ST CENTURY: according to tradition, San Cecilio, the patron saint of the city, Christianised Iliberis. 7TH CENTURY: the Visigoths fortified Iliberia. 8TH CENTURY: the Arabs arrived in Ilvira. 11TH CENTURY: the Zirids moved their capital to Medina Garnata. 15TH CENTURY: Boabdil surrendered the keys of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs. Today, we still call this city GRANADA which, over its 25 century–history, has been the pride of all those who lived in it, defended it, those who lost it and those who won it. 25 centuries of inhabitants have given the city, apart from its different names, its multicultural nature, its diversity of monuments, religious and secular works of art, its roots and its sights and sounds only to be found in Granada. Iberians, Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians have all considered this Granada to be their own, this Granada that is today the embodiment of diversity and harmonious coexistence. Since the 19th century, Granada has also been the perfect setting for those romantic travellers that had years on end free: the American Washington Irving, with his Tales of the Alhambra (1832), captivated writers, artists and musicians of his generation, telling them about that “fiercely magnificent” place that also fascinated Victor Hugo and Chateaubriand.

  • Manifiesto De La Alhambra English
    Fernando Chueca Goitia and others The Alhambra Manifesto (1953) Translated by Jacob Moore Word Count: 2,171 Source: Manifiesto de la Alhambra (Madrid, Dirección General de Arquitectura, 1953). Republished as El Manifiesto de la Alhambra: 50 años después: el monumento y la arquitectura contemporánea, ed. Ángel Isac, (Granada: Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, Consejería de Cultura, Junta de Andalucía : Tf Editores, 2006) 356-375. We, the signers of this Manifesto, do not want to be pure iconoclasts, for we are already too weary of such abrupt and arbitrary turns. So people will say: “Why the need for a Manifesto, a term which, almost by definition, implies a text that is dogmatic and revolutionary, one that breaks from the past, a public declaration of a new credo?” Simply put, because reality, whose unequivocal signs leave no room for doubt, is showing us that the ultimate traditionalist posture, which architecture adopted after the war of Liberation, can already no longer be sustained and its tenets are beginning to fall apart. […] Today the moment of historical resurrections has passed. There is no use denying it; just as one cannot deny the existence of the Renaissance in its time or that of the nineteenth century archaeological revivals. The arts have tired of hackneyed academic models and of cold, lifeless copies, and seek new avenues of expression that, though lacking the perfection of those that are known, are more radical and authentic. But one must also not forget that the peculiar conditions implicit in all that is Spanish require that, within the global historical movement, we move forward, we would not say with a certain prudence, but yes, adjusting realities in our own way.

  • The Immigration Conundrum in Italy and Spain
    AMERICA Immigration, Law& The Immigration Conundrum in American Identity Italy and Spain Laws and policies in Italy and Spain reveal ambivalence about immigration. by Kitty Calavita Both Spain and Italy have significant undocumented immigration populations. In this article, Kitty Calavita explains the origins of increased migration to Italy and Spain, beginning in the 1980s, the role of immigrants in the economy, the anti-immigrant backlash, and immigration law and policy today. pain and Italy have long been countries of emigration, sending millions “Spain and Italy of working men, women, and children to every corner of the globe since the late 1800s. In the decades after World War II, Spaniards and Italians found labor opportunities closer to home, shuttling back and forth to passed their first Snorth and central Europe where they supplied the backbone of the industrial labor force for the post-war economic boom. This migrant stream began to immigration laws in reverse itself in the early 1980s, as many former emigrants returned home, and these southern European countries attracted large numbers of immigrants from 1985 and 1986, beyond their borders. Italy experienced its own “economic miracle” in the post-WWII decades, respectively.” drawing large numbers of rural people from its less developed southern regions to its northern industrial centers. By the mid-1970s the gap between Italy and its northern European neighbors had narrowed. The increased employment opportunities and higher wage levels associated with this transformation attracted immigrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, much as in earlier years Italians had migrated north to better jobs. By 2006, approximately 4 million foreigners resided in Italy, with an estimated 300,000 being undocumented.

  • Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. the Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral
    Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Construction History, Cottbus, May 2009 Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. The Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral Miguel Ángel Alonso Rodríguez, Ana López Mozo, José Carlos Palacios Gonzalo, Enrique Rabasa Díaz Technical University of Madrid, Spain José Calvo-López Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Spain Alberto Sanjurjo Álvarez San Pablo-CEU University, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: Starting from the inaugural text of Philibert de L'Orme, stereotomic treatises and manuscripts are subject to the opposing forces of reason and fancy. The Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral provides an outstanding case study on this subject. It was built in 1571-1582 by Martín de Bérriz and Martín de la Haya, using an oval vault resting on trumpet squinches to span a rectangular bay. Bed joints and rib axes are not planar curves, as usual in oval vaults. This warping is not capricious; we shall argue that it is the outcome of a systematic tracing method. As a result of this process, the slope of the bed joints increases slightly in the first courses, but stays fairly constant after the third course; this solution prevents the upper courses from slipping. Thus, in the Nativity Chapel of Burgos Cathedral, the constraints of masonry construction fostered a singular solution verging on capriccio. It is also worthwhile to remark that the warping of the joints is not easily appreciable to the eye and that the tracing process does not seem to start from a previous conception of the resulting form. All this suggests that we should be quite careful when talking about the whimsical character of Late Gothic and Early Renaissance; in some occasions, apparent caprice is the offspring of practical thinking.

  • Spain 2012 Bathing Water Report
    Bathing water results 2012 – Spain 1. Reporting and assessment In 2012 the Spanish authorities reported under Directive 2006/7/EC provisions a list of their bathing waters, start and end of bathing season for each bathing water, short term pollution events, events impacting bathing water quality and measured values of concentrations of two microbiological parameters — intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli (also known as E. coli). This report gives a general overview of bathing water quality in Spain for the 2012 bathing season. Spain has reported under the Directive 2006/7/EC since 2008. When four consecutive years of samples of intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli for bathing water are available, the assessment is done according to assessment rules of the new bathing water Directive 2006/7/EC. The Annex IV of the directive requires a sample to be taken shortly before the start of the bathing season. Sampling dates are to be distributed throughout the bathing season, with the interval between sampling dates never exceeding one month. Taking into account one pre-season sample, no fewer than four samples are to be taken and analysed per bathing season. Three samples need to be taken and analysed per bathing season in the case of bathing water with either bathing season not exceeding eight weeks or being situated in a region subject to special geographical constraints. The result of such monitoring is used to build up the sets of bathing water quality data. The number of samples for the assessment period should thus be at least 16 or 12 if season duration is less than eight weeks or the region is subject to special geographical constraints.

  • ASSOCIATION of the MIRACULOUS MEDAL 12 Day Pilgrimage to SPAIN and LOURDES October 8-19, 2015
    ASSOCIATION OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL 12 Day Pilgrimage to SPAIN and LOURDES October 8-19, 2015 Dear Fellow Pilgrim, Please consider this my personal invitation to join me on the Association of the Miraculous Medal’s special fall pilgrimage to Spain and Lourdes. I want to especially point out our visit to the city of Avila during the 500th anniversary of St. Teresa of Avila’s birth. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has granted a plenary indulgence to those pilgrims who visit Avila and celebrate the Eucharist there. I was born in Spain, just a few miles away from the birthplace of St. Ignatius of Loyola which we will also visit. I will have the good fortune of sharing with you the beauty of Spain and the many places we will visit in Madrid and Barcelona. Our journey to Lourdes, France, will be the highlight for us as members of the Association of the Miraculous Medal. We will visit the very place where our Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858, and have the opportunity to celebrate Mass at the grotto. Look over the brochure for more information, carefully check the terms and conditions, and send in your reservation right away. I look forward to welcoming you on this exciting, once-in-a-lifetime trip where you will have the chance to meet new friends, pray, and attend Mass at many chapels and cathedrals. Sincerely yours in our Lady, Rev. Prudencio Rodriguez de Yurre Associate Spiritual Director Association of the Miraculous Medal ITINERARY DAY 1: Thurs., Oct. 8 - Newark/En Route Depart from Newark for your overnight trans-Atlantic flight to Madrid.
