  • Xerotyphlops Vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), in the West Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains: Rediscovery After More Than 100 Years
    200 SHORT NOTE HERPETOZOA 27 (3/4) Wien, 30. Jänner 2015 SHORT NOTE Xerotyphlops vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), in the west Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains: rediscovery after more than 100 years The Eurasian Blind Snake, Xerotyph - lops vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), the only representative of the snake family Typhlo - pidae (Scolecophidia) in Europe (gRil- liTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993), is found in the southern parts of the Balkan Peninsula, specifically in former yugoslavia (Croatia, FyR Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia), Albania, Bul garia, greece and Turkey (gRilliTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993; gASC et al. 1997; gRilliTSCH et al. 1999) where it represents a chorotype element of the Turano-Mediterranean fauna (JABlONSki et al. 2012). However, the recent molecular data show that this traditionally accepted species is probably a species complex, since some populations from the Middle East show deep genetic divergences indicating their separate evolution since the end of Middle and late Miocene (kORNiliOS et al. 2012). This species prefers xerothermic habitats with deep, dry and soft (sandy) soil where it can burrow, typically rocky slopes with low, sparse bush vegetation, open areas with stones as well as cultivated fields (gRil liTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993). The known edge of its distribution in the east of the Balkans is formed by several localities on Bulgarian territory (see BESH- kOv & NANEv 2006; STOJANOv et al. 2011), from where it was originally published only at the beginning of the 20th century (kOvA- CHEv 1912; CHiCHkOFF 1914). in Bul garia, this species has a scattered distribution at altitudes below 500 m above sea level. it is found only in the southern parts of the coun- try where it persisted from an earlier more extended distribution.

  • Montserrat Rack Railway the Dream of The
    Montserrat Rack Railway The Tren de Montserrat, as the rack railway between Monistrol and Montserrat was known, has been in existence since the 19th century. It was originally built to meet the need for improved access for worshippers and pilgrims to the Montserrat sanctuary. The traditional way up Montserrat mountain had been on foot or horseback along the Collbató or Santa Cecilia paths, from 1698 onwards turned into a road. It was not until the second half of the 19th century that an alternative and much quicker access way was inaugurated. This was the wide gauge line operated by Ferrocarrils del Nord to Monistrol-Montserrat station. From there, the company built a road (1858-59) that reached the monastery by dint of a sti 14-kilometre climb following the line of the old bridle path. This made it possible for a stagecoach service to do the journey in three and a half hours, stopping to give respite to horses and travelers alike at the Font dels Monjos. The lack of a permanent means of transport and an increase in the number of visitors led Joaquim Carrera, engineer and admirer of both Montserrat and Swiss mountain trains, to persuade local businessman Josep M. González to build a rack railway that would link Monistrol station with the monastery. In 1881 the company Ferrocarriles de Montaña a Grandes Pendientes was constituted for the purpose. The rack railway was inaugurated on 6 October 1892, and it soon became the most popular railway in Catalonia, taking its place among the country's most prized traditions.

    Consejero de Cultura y Turismo de la Junta de Castilla y León La crisis sanitaria provocada por la Covid-19 ha condicionado nuestras vidas y nuestra actividad diaria. El deporte no ha sido ajeno a esta situación pero, poco a poco, hemos sabido adaptarnos, hemos podido practicarlo y hemos logrado realizar eventos deportivos, con más o menos restricciones, pero intentando siempre no paralizar nuestro deporte. A partir de marzo de 2020, la pandemia provocó la suspensión de muchos eventos cuya preparación estaba en marcha. Uno de ellos fue la Vuelta Ciclista a Castilla y León para ciclistas internacionales. La previsión era dar la salida en el mes de abril, pero, ante la evolución de la situación sanitaria, se decidió no celebrar la prueba a lo largo de 2020. Sin embargo, desde hace meses, se ha venido trabajando en retomar su celebración en 2021, tomando la decisión de realizar una prueba de una etapa, que recorrerá la provincia de León el 29 de julio, con salida en León capital Javier Ortega Álvarez y llegada en Ponferrada. Su recorrido por tierras del Camino de Santiago en este Año Jacobeo, lleno de belleza paisajística y monumental, no dejará indiferentes a los aficionados y, sin duda, animará a visitar esta tierra y a probar la rica y variada gastronomía leonesa y berciana. Este año, la edición será ya la número XXXV y una vez más, contaremos con una prueba de gran nivel deportivo, con varios equipos World Tour y numerosos equipos internacionales, así como con la perfecta organización a la que nos tiene acostumbrados el Club Ciclista Cadalsa.
