Famous for its orange groves, avenues lined with palm trees, mild climate, sandy beaches and friendly people, Valencia has conserved many of its ancient customs and traditions. Valencia’s major commercial port was once an important link between the peninsula and other Mediterranean countries. Its mild climate is one of the reasons it has become so popular with visitors and the city has become a leading congress and conference venue in Europe. Major multinational corporations such as Ford and IBM have made Valencia an important European business center. The University Universidad Europea de Madrid – Centro Adscrito de Valencia is a 15 minute walk from the city center, near the main universities of Valencia and close to the beautiful Viveros Park. Academics LHU students studying at UEM take Spanish language courses only. All classes are taught in Spanish.

  • The Effects of Different Actors on Urban Agriculture: a Comparison of the Cities of Zaragoza and Valencia in Spain
    Sustainable Development and Planning VIII 53 The effects of different actors on urban agriculture: a comparison of the cities of Zaragoza and Valencia in Spain K. Sakura Department of Engineering, Architectural Course, Shinshu University, Japan Abstract Urban agriculture is closely watched because of a currently high interest in organic produce, desires for lush green cities, increased leisure activities, and so on. This study clarifies the locations of urban agricultural lands, why these locations were selected, and the functions of urban agricultural areas in two cities in Spain. The study focuses on the efforts of the Benimaclet Neighborhood Association in Valencia, Spain, and those of the Ebro Ambient Center in Zaragoza, Spain, to address these questions. Valencia’s Benimaclet Neighborhood Association is an example of citizen actors, and Zaragoza’s Ebro Ambient Center is an example of municipal government actors. This study finds that the locations and functions of urban agriculture differ by type of actor. The study supports research on the implementation of “the suitable place for urban agriculture” when designing sustainable cities of the future. Keywords: urban agriculture, actor, Valencia, Benimaclet Neighborhood Association, Zaragoza, Ebro Ambient Center. 1 Introduction 1.1 Background and purpose Urban agriculture has been attracting attention from the perspectives of organic farming, clean and safe agricultural produce, a desire for vibrant green cities, and so on. Scholars in the field of urban planning expect urban agriculture to offer alternative uses for vacant lots. The first purpose of this study is to develop that expectation one step further by clarifying where urban agricultural lands are WIT Transactions on Ecology and The Environment, Vol 210, © 2016 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) doi:10.2495/SDP160051 54 Sustainable Development and Planning VIII located, why those locations are selected, and the part that urban agricultural areas play in modern cities.

  • Commonalities Between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo
    SHS Web of Conferences 15, 00007 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20151500007 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Commonalities between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo Alfonso Sánchez Hermosilla Medical Examiner, EDICES Director (Spanish Sindonology Researh Centre Team), Spain Abstract. In 1989 EDICES (Spanish Sindonology Research Centre Team) started researching about the Sudarium of Oviedo, developing the pioneer research started in the sixties by Monsignor Giulio Ricci, who was a member of the Papal Curia and President of the “Roman Centre of Sindonology”a, and furthermore, he was a scholar of the Gospel of Saint John, the reading of chapter 20, Bible verses 4-8: “4 They were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and was the first to arrive at the tomb.5 Bending down to take a look, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he didn’t go in.6 Following him, Simon Peter entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.7 He also saw the face cloth that had been on Jesus’ head. It wasn’t with the other clothes but was folded up in its own place.8 Then the other disciple, the one who arrived at the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.” This made him look for a second funerary linen used to wrap the corpse of Jesus of Nazareth. This seek led him to the Sudarium of Oviedo. The similarity of the shape of the stains and its size with the Shroud of Turin made him think that he had really found the relic which Saint Joan mentions.
