Join us aboard the MS Serenissima in Casablanca MADEIRA Porto Santo andL discover the wonders of the city before we sail to Safi for our Funchal exploration of charming Essaouira. Leaving Morocco we head out into Casablanca Safi the Atlantic bound for the ‘floating garden in the Atlantic’ of Madeira La Palma El Hierro Tenerife MOROCCO before we make our way to the Canary Islands. Essaouira La Gomera CANARY Located some 700 miles off Saharan Africa, far from being a sun and ISLANDS fun package destination, there is much to see in this delightful Atlantic Archipelago. In fact, you do not have to stray far from the resorts to discover some marvellously varied landscapes and an absorbing, multifaceted culture. Exploring the hinterlands, back roads and villages brings you in touch with a unique side of Spanish culture, much removed from the mainland. The melting pot of Andalucian, Berber, Portuguese, Italian, French and British migration, together with los Guanches, the original inhabitants who were displaced by the Spanish conquest in the 15th century, have all left their mark, making this a unique destination. The archipelago consists of seven main islands that are formed from the tips of a vast volcanic mountain range that lies beneath the Atlantic Ocean and we will start by visiting three of the lesser known islands, only accessible by a small ship such as the MS Serenissima: La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera where we can enjoy nature at its very best. These volcanic islands impress with their unique flora and fauna and boast rugged rocky landscapes, evergreen cloud forests, metre high ferns and bizarre-looking dragon trees. Our final call will be to Santa Cruz deTenerife where there will be the opportunity to explore the beautiful gardens of the city and spectacular Mount Teide. Madeira and the Canary Islands have something to offer everyone and so our itinerary has been designed to try and offer a choice of excursion at each port of call. Whether your interests lie in gardens, geology or walking, we are confident that you will find this cruise the perfect antidote to the cold and grey skies at home. Tenerife The Itinerary Day 1 London to Casablanca, Morocco. Fly by scheduled indirect flight. On arrival transfer to the MS Serenissima and enjoy welcome drinks and dinner as we moor overnight. Day 2 Casablanca. We will spend the day in Casablanca. During our morning drive we will visit the city’s most important sights, including the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Olive Market. The highlight of our tour however will be a visit to the Hassan II Mosque, the largest religious monument in the world after Mecca. It took 3300 traditional Moroccan artisans to create the beautiful mosaics, marble floors and the splendid wood ceilings. The mosque also has the world’s tallest minaret, soaring 200 metres above the city. Return to the ship for lunch and enjoy an afternoon at leisure to relax or explore independently before we sail this evening. Day 3 Safi for Essaouira. This morning we will depart the port of Safi and head along the coast to Essaouira. Founded in the 18th century, Essaouira was built to be a rival city to Agadir. Formerly known as Mogador, meaning small fortress, it was designed as a fortified town surrounded by Vauban-style ramparts and played a major role as an international trading seaport, linking Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa with Europe and the rest of the world. On our full day tour, we will see the amazing mixture of Portuguese and Berber architecture, the 16th century sea bastions built to protect the city, the 18th century Medina and in the Mellah we find the souks dedicated to gold, spices and fish.

    Publicado en La Provincia (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) el 7 de noviembre de 1991. LENGUAJE SILBADO EN EL HIERRO Maximiano Trapero Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Para Eloy Quintero, ejemplo de la generosidad herreña. 2008 Siempre se ha tenido ─y con razón─ al silbo gomero como una de las manifestaciones más extraordinarias de la cultura de los aborígenes canarios. Para algunos, sin duda, la más extraordinaria de universitaria, los antiguos isleños. Extraordinaria por varios motivos: primero, por haber logrado pervivir hasta hoy; segundo, por ser un caso único conocido en el mundo y tercero, por el sistema mismo del silbo como mecanismo eficaz de comunicación. Biblioteca Parece incuestionable que el lenguaje silbado fue práctica habitual entre los aborígenes de la isla de La Gomera, que con él salvaban las enormes dificultades de sus innumerables y profundísimos barrancos. Los primeros cronistas de la Conquista dejaron constancia de aquel fenómeno tan especial ULPGC. atribuyéndolo a una noticia legendaria: la del poblamiento de Canarias por parte de un pueblo de la por provincia de Mauritania, a cuyos individuos, sublevados contra el poder de Roma, les cortaron la lengua para no poder jactarse ni referir jamás aquella sublevación, y que metidos en navíos fueron abandonados con algunas cabras y ovejas en las islas. Y de aquella imposibilidad de hablar recurrieron e inventaron el silbo. Es famoso, por repetido, el pasaje en que los cronistas de la conquista betencuriana explican la realizada impresión que les causó la forma de hablar (no dicen que fuera de silbar) de los gomeros: «Hablan el lenguaje más extraño de todos los demás países de esta banda, y hablan con los bezos, como si no tuvieran lengua.

  • La Lengua De Los Aborígenes De La Gomera En Los Materiales De Abreu Galindo
    LA LENGUA DE LOS ABORÍGENES DE LA GOMERA EN LOS MATERIALES DE ABREU GALINDO Carmen Díaz Alayón y Francisco Javier Castillo Universidad de La Laguna Abstract Among the early historical sources of the Canary Islands, Abreu Galindo's Historia holds a unique place. And this is so because it is the first work, with Leonardo Torriani's Descrittione, in which we are given an overall view of the history of the Canaries and because Abreu Galindo includes remarkable and interesting information on different aspects, among which we have the origin of the natives, their way of living and their language. This paper deals with Abreu Galindo's prehispanic words of La Gomera —one of the western Canaries— and with the explanations and etimologies that have been given to these linguistic remains. La Historia de la conquista de las siete islas de Gran Canaria de fray Juan Abreu Galindo, escrita con toda seguridad a finales del siglo XVI', es una fuente que viene a romper la tónica, desafortunadamente bastante generalizada en los textos históricos canarios más tempranos, de escasez de información de carácter lingüístico sobre La Gomera prehispánica'. Bien es verdad que Abreu Galindo no nos deja sobre el habla de los aborígenes gomeros el amplio repertorio de toponimia y antroponimia prehispánica que recoge para La Palma en los capítulos I a VIII del libro III. Pero esto no quiere decir, en modo alguno, que sus materiales gomeros carecen de interés y a su análisis dedicamos las líneas que siguen. Para Abreu Galindo es evidente que la población primitiva de La Gomera procedía de África.

  • La Isla Mágica, Tal Como Es Conocida La Gomera, Con Su Naturaleza Abrupta Pero Serena, Salvaje Pero Apacible, Está Llena De Tesoros Sorprendentes Para El Viajero
    La Isla Mágica, tal como es conocida La Gomera, con su naturaleza abrupta pero serena, salvaje pero apacible, está llena de tesoros sorprendentes para el viajero. La Gomera es una de las siete islas que constituyen el archipiélago canario. Con una superficie de 369 km2, es la segunda más pequeña, después de El Hierro. Está situada al oeste de Tenerife, a una distancia de 28 km en el punto más cercano. La Gomera es la única isla canaria en la que no han tenido lugar erupciones volcánicas en los dos últimos millones de años. Las estructuras volcánicas que le dieron origen son visibles no por el resultado de sus erupciones, como en el resto de las islas, sino por el efecto de la erosión. Esta ha actuado de forma continuada, hasta desmantelar gran parte del edificio insular. Los procesos erosivos se encuentran en el origen de los más destacados elementos de su geología: los roques y los acantilados. Junto a ellos, destaca el contraste entre la profundidad de valles y barrancos y la altitud de las encrespadas montañas. La sucesión de los barrancos y las peñas se remata en el Alto de Garajonay, que se encuentra a 1.487 metros sobre el nivel del mar. De forma casi circular, La Gomera se encuentra atravesada por una red de barrancos radiales que fueron durante siglos la única vía de acceso a este territorio, convertido en fortaleza por los acantilados. Los vientos alisios desempeñan un papel fundamental en la historia natural de La Gomera: las nubes bajas o mar de nubes y su carga de humedad han sido fundamentales para la pervivencia del bosque de laurisilva de El Cedro.

  • Lateralization of Auditory Processing of Silbo Gomero
    S S symmetry Article Lateralization of Auditory Processing of Silbo Gomero Pamela Villar González, Onur Güntürkün and Sebastian Ocklenburg * Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Biopsychology, Department of Psychology, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany; [email protected] or [email protected] (P.V.G.); [email protected] (O.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-234-32-24323 Received: 22 April 2020; Accepted: 5 July 2020; Published: 17 July 2020 Abstract: Left-hemispheric language dominance is a well-known characteristic of the human language system. However, it has been shown that leftward language lateralization decreases dramatically when people communicate using whistles. Whistled languages present a transformation of a spoken language into whistles, facilitating communication over great distances. In order to investigate the laterality of Silbo Gomero, a form of whistled Spanish, we used a vocal and a whistled dichotic listening task in a sample of 75 healthy Spanish speakers. Both individuals that were able to whistle and to understand Silbo Gomero and a non-whistling control group showed a clear right-ear advantage for vocal dichotic listening. For whistled dichotic listening, the control group did not show any hemispheric asymmetries. In contrast, the whistlers’ group showed a right-ear advantage for whistled stimuli. This right-ear advantage was, however, smaller compared to the right-ear advantage found for vocal dichotic listening. In line with a previous study on language lateralization of whistled Turkish, these findings suggest that whistled language processing is associated with a decrease in left and a relative increase in right hemispheric processing.

España T: 900 43 25 26 ull.es Resumen El Silbo Gomero es un bien declarado Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad por la UNESCO desde 2009 y, por lo tanto, un bien cultural de gran interés turístico. El objetivo de este Trabajo de Fin de Grado es, entre otros, investigar si el Silbo Gomero es conocido por los turistas que visitan la isla de La Gomera, su divulgación a nivel insular y, principalmente, su promoción estableciendo un vínculo entre el Silbo y el turismo de la isla. Para alcanzar dichos objetivos, se ha utilizado una metodología basada en encuestas con una muestra aleatoria de 100 turistas que han visitado La Gomera. Después de analizar los datos obtenidos a través de gráficas mediante el método C de Pearson, se llega a una serie de conclusiones que dan lugar a la elaboración de una propuesta para una mejor promoción del Silbo en la propia isla colombina, con el fin de atraer a un mayor número de visitantes. Así pues, se propone una ruta de senderismo cuyo principal objetivo es promover el Silbo Gomero y, mediante la cual, los turistas pueden conocer en primera persona esta tradición cultural Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

  • El Lenguaje Silbado De Los Gomeros
    EL LENGUAJE SILBADO DE LOS GOMEROS ANTONIO TEJERA GASPAR Catedrático de Arqueología. Universidad de La Laguna. Tenerife “Y ahora silba más hondo, silba más alto y sin tregua, silba una paloma blanca que dé vuelta a la tierra”. (Pedro García Cabrera) Tengo para mí que de las manifestaciones de los aborígenes canarios que han sobrevivido hasta la actualidad, quizá sea el silbo gomero una de las más singulares y, sin duda, la que más ha suscitado la curiosidad de quienes no estamos familiarizados con el manejo de esta peculiar forma de comunicación. En el presente texto me referiré a este lenguaje ancestral de los gomeros, al tratarse de la única isla del Archipiélago en la que ha pervivido este medio de comunicación de los primitivos habitantes de La Gomera, aunque en el pasado no fue un hecho exclusivo de esta isla, a juzgar por los datos transmitidos en las primeras historias de Canarias de A. Espinosa y Abreu Galindo, quienes nos informan de su uso entre los guanches de Tenerife y los canarios de Gran Canaria. Y es probable asimismo que su uso fuese igualmente practicado en la isla de La Palma. Los datos aportados por el profesor Maximiano Trapero, en un trabajo publicado en el periódico “La Provin- cia” de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria el Jueves 7 de noviembre de 1991, sobre el uso ya residual de esta práctica en la isla de El Hierro, me parece un buen argumento para considerar que en época preeuropea el lenguaje silbado fue una forma común de comunicación en todo el Archipiélago, aunque en la actualidad la isla de La Gomera tenga el privilegio de haberlo mantenido de genera- ción en generación y de habernos legado este hermoso patrimonio cultural que si en otras épocas fue considerado un hecho marginal y poco valorado, hoy, sin embargo, es orgullo de todos los canarios.
