Pre-Trip Extension Itinerary YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Back Roads of Iberia: Spanish Paradores & Portuguese Pousadas 2023 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me. I know you’re eager to explore the world, too, and our Back Roads of Iberia: Spanish Paradores & Portuguese Pousadas itinerary described inside is an excellent way to start. Exactly how your adventure unfolds is up to you, because you have many choices to customize it. You can arrive early and stay later—perhaps by adding a pre- or post-trip extension, spending time in a Stopover city, or combining 2 or more trips. Plus, your itinerary is laced with free time, so you’ll have opportunities to do your own thing. More than 80% of the travelers who reserve this trip choose to tailor their adventure. In fact, O.A.T. is the only travel company to offer such flexibility and choice for an experience that is truly personalized. As for Back Roads of Iberia: Spanish Paradores & Portuguese Pousadas, thanks to your small group of 8-16 travelers (average 13) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: I love to delve into the culinary traditions of each destination I explore. With Spain being the world’s largest producer of olive oil, I had to get an in-depth look into this process. I visited a small, family-owned olive oil mill in the countryside outside of Úbeda, where I met the mill owners and was shown the intricacies of this time-honored tradition. You’ll also get an intimate view into the inner workings of this mill during your A Day in the Life experience. Alongside the owners, you’ll tour the groves and the factory before enjoying a fresh, farm-prepared meal. You’ll also have an opportunity to see a darker side of Portugal when we delve into the country’s colonial past and modern-day racism with a local resident. You’ll learn about the Portuguese involvement in the slave trade and how racism impacts the country’s community of Afro-Portuguese immigrants. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. That’s why we don’t shy away from controversial topics, and why all our Trip Experience Leaders are “insiders” who live in the country. At times you may be nudged out of your comfort zone. But you will also be inspired by the resilience and humanity of the wonderful people you meet. And that’s what adventure travel is all about. Thanks for letting me dream along with you about the Back Roads of Iberia: Spanish Paradores & Portuguese Pousadas. I’m looking forward to experiencing the enrichment that only travel can bring, and I hope you are, too. Until then, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925.

  • Unique Geological Values of Mt. Teide As the Basis of Its Inclusion on The
    Seminario_10_2013_d 10/6/13 17:11 Página 36 Unique geological values of Mt. Teide as the basis of its inclusion on the World Heritage List / Juan Carlos Carracedo Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Abstract UNESCO created in 1972 the World Heritage List to “preserve the world’s superb natural and sce- nic areas and historic sites for the present and future generations of citizens of the entire world”. Nominated sites must be of ‘outstanding universal value’ and meet stringent selection criteria. Teide National Park (TNP) and the already nominated (1987) Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) correspond to the Ocean Island Basalts (OIB). The main geological elements of TNP inclu- de Las Cañadas Caldera, one of the most spectacular, best exposed and accessible volcanic cal- deras on Earth, two active rifts, and two large felsic stratovolcanoes, Teide and Pico Viejo, rising 3718 m above sea level and around 7500 m above the ocean floor, together forming the third hig- hest volcanic structure in the world after the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes on the island of Hawaii. A different geodynamic setting, causing lower fusion and subsidence rates in Tenerife, lead to longer island life and favoured evolution of magmas and the production of large volumes of differentiated volcanics in Tenerife, scant or absent in Hawaii. This fundamental difference provi- ded a main argument for the inscription of TNP in the World Heritage List because both National Parks complement each other to represent the entire range of products, features and landscapes of oceanic islands. Teide National Park was inscribed in the World Heritage List in 2007 for its natu- ral beauty and its “global importance in providing diverse evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands, these values complementing those of existing volcanic properties on the World Heritage List, such as the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park”.

Inside the caves, any life will have access to water and would be sheltered from the harsh surface conditions of UV radiation and low humidity as well as from the prevailing weather condi- tions. The caves in the Teide national park of Tenerife are an ideal terrestrial analogue of Martian caves. They are situated at an altitude of 2500 m in an area of low humidity.

  • Chapter-1 International Cuisine
    CHAPTER-1 INTERNATIONAL CUISINE: THE COOKING OF GREAT BRITAIN Historical Background Unlike the French, the British have no Grande cuisine or customs of elegant restaurant eating. Almost everyone royalty and commoner ate the same food, however fancy or plain. The royal kitchens merely drew on a wider variety of foodstuffs and in greater quantities. Britain was a worldwide trader since the 16 th century and could afford to import the best the world had to offer from tea, coffee and rice to exotic spices and fruits and all these found their way into home cooking. The British Breakfast The British consider it their finest meal. A truly traditional British breakfast would include Baps (a soft round roll) or some other traditional bread with preserves, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs - boiled, fried or scrambled, ham kedgeree, stewed prunes, sautéed kidneys, smoked haddock or kippers, cereals with milk and of course tea. The English breakfast owes, in particular much to the Scots. They eat an even more substantial breakfast that the English and the Welsh or the Irish. They consume vast quantities of porridge and considerable amount of bread usually in the form of a breakfast roll called a ‘Bap” and drink large quantities of tea sometimes laced with whisky. Aberdeen was the birthplace of the breakfast sausage, while Dundee is the home of marmalade without which no breakfast is completed. Bacon is in original entirely English. Ham, which also often figures on the breakfast table, is the cured hind leg of the pig. Only the English cured the pig, usually by salting, while the rest of Europe ate it fresh.

We will look especially at the ways in which the Romans constructed a collective cultural identity for themselves, with attention paid also to groups marginal to or excluded from that identity (e.g. women, slaves, barbarians). Readings will focus on the ancient texts and sources, including the comedies of Plautus and Terence, Vergil’s epic Aeneid, historical writing by Sallust and Tacitus, biographies by Plutarch and Suetonius, the love poetry of Ovid, and Petronius’s novel Satyrica.

  • The Mini-Columbarium in Carthage's Yasmina
    THE MINI-COLUMBARIUM IN CARTHAGE’S YASMINA CEMETERY by CAITLIN CHIEN CLERKIN (Under the Direction of N. J. Norman) ABSTRACT The Mini-Columbarium in Carthage’s Roman-era Yasmina cemetery combines regional construction methods with a Roman architectural form to express the privileged status of its wealthy interred; this combination deploys monumental architectural language on a small scale. This late second or early third century C.E. tomb uses the very North African method of vaulting tubes, in development in this period, for an aggrandizing vaulted ceiling in a collective tomb type derived from the environs of Rome, the columbarium. The use of the columbarium type signals its patrons’ engagement with Roman mortuary trends—and so, with culture of the center of imperial power— to a viewer and imparts a sense of group membership to both interred and visitor. The type also, characteristically, provides an interior space for funerary ritual and commemoration, which both sets the Mini-Columbarium apart at Yasmina and facilitates normative Roman North African funerary ritual practice, albeit in a communal context. INDEX WORDS: Funerary monument(s), Funerary architecture, Mortuary architecture, Construction, Vaulting, Vaulting tubes, Funerary ritual, Funerary commemoration, Carthage, Roman, Roman North Africa, North Africa, Columbarium, Collective burial, Social identity.
