  • 1 One of Many Interesting Demo-Geographic Processes In
    TOPIC/SESSION 401 (REGIONAL AND URBAN ISSUES) GUIDELINES OF SECOND HOMES LOCATION IN SPANISH URBAN POPULATION: SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC AND TERRITORIAL ANALYSIS. JUAN ANTONIO MÓDENES CABRIZO Department of Geography, Autonomous University of Barcelona and Demographic Studies Centre JULIAN LÓPEZ COLÁS Demographic Studies Centre (Barcelona, Spain) BRENDA YÉPEZ MARTÍNEZ Demographic Studies Centre (Barcelona, Spain) One of many interesting demo-geographic processes in Spain become the expansion of the second homes and the consequent transformation of wide zones close to the big cities, coasts, and interior zones which turned to be increasingly attractive. Most second homes are purchased for personal reasons. In some cases owners use their second home as a sort of refuge to temporarily escape their urban environment. Part of this demand, specially in the Mediterranean coast occurs because the international request attracted by the climate, the differential level in life standards, and the present transport facility. Nonetheless, the internal demand is very important and continues to grow. If in 1991, 12% of the Spanish resident homes possessed a secondary household, in 2001 it was already increasing to 15%. Almost one of each seven homes is immersed in multiple residence strategy. Diverse studies have demonstrated the interactions between housing characteristics, those related to the habitual residences and the possession of second homes. Generally they have concluded that the main explanatory factors are, on one hand, a dense and compact habitat, and by other hand, the socio-demographics and socioeconomic status of secondary residence users. Nevertheless, the guideline of location of this type of housing and its interaction with homes characteristics seems to be a less treated subject.

As we inch forward, frying in the August heat, a large tattooed man draped in the Spanish ag steps out of the car in front and urinates on the road in direct view of my 18-year-old daughter. Valley of the Fallen, near Madrid Despite living in the shadow of Europe’s only remaining monument to a fascist leader – General Francisco Franco – I had not visited this striking but sinister place since 1993 when I was given short shrift for asking awkward questions. I expected the reception to be dierent 25 years on and you could call it that. The Valle de los Caidos, 50km from Madrid, is Franco’s OTT tribute to ‘the heroes and martyrs of the Crusade’ – a monolithic monument to those who ‘fell for God and for Spain in the Holy War against indels, Masons, Marxists, homosexuals and feminists’.

  • The Valley of the Fallen in Spain. Between National Catholicism and the Commodification of Memory
    CzasKultury/English 4/2017 The Valley of the Fallen in Spain. Between National Catholicism and the Commodification of Memory Maja Biernacka Thanatourism is a portmanteau derived from the word “tourism” and the Greek term tanatos. The latter means death, although when capitalized, it indicates the god of death in Greek mythology. The concept refers to the act of visiting – individually or as a group – locations that have witnessed natural disasters, battles with staggering casu- alties, or acts of genocide (such as concentration camps, sites of mass shootings, or memorials devoted to these acts). Moreover, thanatourism takes a form of group ex- cursions organized under the theme of death, and comes with all the usual services – transportation, accommoda- tions, licensed tour guides, souvenir sales, and so forth. 18 Maja Biernacka, The Valley of the Fallen in Spain Polish scholarship adopted the term1 following its English equivalent thanatourism,2 which literally translates to “death tourism.”3 An adjacent concept is “dark tourism”4 (in Polish, mroczna turystyka),5 which expands the object of interest from death to all phenomena falling under the banner of “dark” or “morbid.” Other related terms appear as well, such as “grief tourism,” which serve to modify the scope or character of such activity. It seems relevant to emphasize that these notions may be incorporated into critical methodologies in the social sciences, due to their demystifying nature. I am refer- ring specifically to taking advantage of the value of sites bound up with death, suffering, human tragedy and the like, which play a crucial role in the collective memory of a nation, ethnic or religious group, or any other kind of imagined community – to use Benedict Anderson’s term6 – and putting a price on them for touristic purpos- es.

THE POEMS The Arabic texts of these poems, with a Spanish translation and relevant bibliography, are to be found in García Gómez 1985. However, most of the emendations to the Arabic proposed by García Gómez have been ignored, in favour of the text of the inscriptions themselves. The free English translations (by Nadia Jamil and JJ) that follow have been made specially for this lecture; amongst several interweaving strands of meaning, they follow only those most important for the argument proposed.

  • The Forgotten Myrtle of the Alhambra Gardens of Granada: Restoring and Authenticating World Heritage
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2016) Vol. 18: 1975-1983 RESEARCH NOTES The Forgotten Myrtle of the Alhambra Gardens of Granada: Restoring and Authenticating World Heritage R. De la Herrán 1, M. Casares 2, F. Robles 1, J. Tito 3, R. Navajas-Pérez 1, M. J. Molina- Luzón 1, M. de los Reyes Gonzalez-Tejero 2, P. J. Sola-Campoy 1, A. Gutiérrez-Guerrero 1, ∗ and J. C. Ruiz-Rejón 1 ABSTRACT In the Alhambra (Granada, Spain), and in other Moorish locations, several individuals of the original variety of myrtle, the emblematic plant of their gardens, have been identified and genetically authenticated. After microsatellite analysis, we differentiated between the wild form ( Myrtus communis L.) and two cultivated varieties: the one original to the Alhambra, the Moorish myrtle (subsp. baetica ), and the variety introduced in more modern times (subsp. tarentina ). The genetic and morphological differences between these two varieties confirm the taxonomic distinctness of the subsp. baetica . With very few individuals known, this Moorish myrtle is on the verge of extinction. The genetic identification offers the opportunity to restore a key element of this 14th-century garden and enhance the authenticity of a World Heritage site. Keywords : Alhambra, Microsatellite, Mirtus communis , Subspecies, Taxon. INTRODUCTION In 1943, the gardens of the Alhambra and the surrounding area of Generalife were The Alhambra, one of the largest designated as Historical Gardens, and in medieval complexes surviving in Europe, 1984 UNESCO declared them a World originally had a fortress, several palaces and Heritage site. In fact, these gardens may be an aristocratic quarter, surrounded by among the oldest in Europe and, since orchards and gardens.

  • La Alhambra in Granada, One of the Most Beautiful and Admired Monuments in the Wold
    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba. The Alhambra is one of the most serenely sensual and beautiful buildings in the world, a place where Moorish art and architecture reached their pinnacle. A masterpiece for you to admire, and it is in Granada, a city full of culture and history. Experience the beauty and admire this marvel of our architectural heritage. Let it touch your heart. Granada is the Alhambra and the gardens, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries, the old islamic district Albayzin where the sunset is famous in the world or the Sacromonte where the gypsies perform flamenco shows in the caves where they used to live...Granada is this and many more things. The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.
