When you do a job you love, the years seem to fly by. It only seems like yesterday that my Father and I started our small Travel Agency business in 1984 selling flights and holidays to Italy. In 2006, using all our contacts and local knowledge gained over the years, Typically Italian Holidays was born. Our mission was to sell authentic holidays using family run hotels that offer great, traditional service and treating our customers as friends and not just guests. After 8 years of Typically Italian our valued Travel Agents wanted us to offer the same authentic experience in Spain, so using local guides and Tourist Boards I visited Spain with my team and Typically Spain was born. To this day and at the age of 88 my Father still comes into the office on most days and we discuss how we can help you make the most of your Spanish Holiday with authentic experiences like Tapas Tours, Wine Tasting, Walking tours and cookery experiences. We want you to enjoy our holidays, your way in 2017 Because we want you to have the best advice and service our holidays can only be booked through a travel agent so when you are ready to book please call or speak to the travel agent who supplied this brochure and I’m sure they will be delighted to help you create your perfect Spanish Holiday. Adios Daniele Broccoli - Managing Director Local representatives and agents As this is a tailor made program for seasoned travellers we have no local representatives. We have local agents in Spain who can give any necessary help and guidance and can always be contacted. You will not be visited in your accommodation. Please remember that wherever you are, most of the hotel managers, owners and receptionists are often keen to help you with local information. Any problem you experience must be reported locally so that we are given the opportunity of solving them. If you cannot reach our local agent then do not hesitate to contact our 24/7 emergency number. 100% financial protection Our Prices As all our holidays are tailormade, we have adopted a flexible pricing policy based on individual airline fares which now, as a result of changing airline industry, fluctuate on a regular basis. ABTA No.W6934 We have shown a range of indicative prices for our featured accommodation and will quote the accurate price on application. This price will reflect the latest prices and any offers from hotels. Let’s fly... There is an extensive range of services to Spain from more than 20 UK airports, with flights ranging from as little as two hours. Ryanair, EasyJet, Monarch, Flybe and Jet2 have the highest frequencies, concentrating on the beach resorts of the Costas. Easyjet and Ryanair also operate to many of the cities and are joined by Iberia and British Airways. Let’s drive... A drive to Spain can either be a leisurely trip taking several days, or it is perfectly possible to reach Northern Spain in a day from the Western Channel Ports. The route you take largely depends on your final destination, as well as your departure point in the UK. Spanish rail... Travel by rail in Spain is an easy and comfortable option, thanks to the rail network throughout the country. It’s easy to travel from the UK to Spain by train, a morning Eurostar to Paris takes just 2½ hours, then in the afternoon double-deck TGV Duplex to Figueres (home of the amazing Salvador Dali museum), Girona and Barcelona. To anyone who has only known the stresses of airports, flights & motorways, chilling out on a high-speed train is a revelation ... it’s far more Please note Spanish trains are not bookable until 90 days prior to departure. environmentally-friendly, too. What is a Parador? The majority of Paradors are set in buildings of historical significance such as castles, palaces, convents, monasteries, fortresses and hospitals, all painstakingly restored and converted into hotels that meet and exceed the demanding requirements of travellers in the 21st century. However, a sizeable number of Paradors are country houses and contemporary hotels, set in tremendous landscapes inland in the mountains and on the coastlines, also with their own style and character. In 1928 ‘Paradores de Turismo’ was launched with the opening of the Parador de Gredos. Today this Parador still stands as the emblem of the Parador’s concept, complemented by 93 other prestigious sites located strategically across the country in superb settings to facilitate tourism to every corner of Spain. Today Paradors are proudly and fondly regarded by Spanish and International guests as remarkable places to stay and a true experience of Spanish hospitality and cuisine.

  • Summer Spanish Language
    Summer Spanish Language July 2013 ← Woody Allen Statue Woody Allen Campo San Francisco ↓ Oviedo is a small city, though it felt big. It is a mix of old and new: old and new architecture, people, traditions, etc. There are always people out and about in the city, walking to the store, meeting friends at cafes, walk- ing their dogs, or shopping. Every neighborhood has its own stores: shops selling fruits and veggies, or breads, or books, or haircuts, and everything in be- tween . Few people speak fluent English , which was challenging, but good for learning Spanish . Oviedo was a great place to spend a month in Spain . El Camino de Santiago ↓ The University of Oviedo is spread across several campus- es throughout the city. All of our Spanish classes were on the humanities campus, in La Casa de las Lenguas. Clas- ses were held Monday through Friday, from 9:30 to 2:00. We had students of all levels, from those who had abso- lutely no Spanish experience, to some who were fluent. ← Casa de las Lenguas My class in Oviedo was the best Spanish class I think I’ve ever taken . I enjoyed being in class. I wanted to be the person who was called on to read or answer questions, simply because I wanted to use my Spanish . The teachers were great, and the fact that they didn’t speak any English made it even better. It was intimidating at first, and often frustrating, but I think it was better that way. I fell in love with Spanish , and I just wanted to keep learning.

It takes their astonishment and a little piece of their hearts. Every journey is the penultimate one, because, the more you get to know Asturias, the more you discover, and of course, there is always something yet to be discovered. Perhaps another cliff to admire, another river to descend in a canoe, or perhaps another beach to be enjoyed from a hang glider, another trail to be discovered... You just can’t get enough of it. It is never enough. So much greenery, so much rock, so much forest, so many ports to watch the boats coming and going, and all that cider poured in good company; all forming a series of monuments that leave those leaving with an impression of a friendly and welcoming land, like its people; always prepared to go the whole nine yards for those that love and respect it.

As a result, the knowledge of this historical period has been broadened and even changed, as well as an interdisciplinary methodology on how to approach this type of study. According to the results obtained, the project has allowed us to reflect on two issues, the potential of a relatively low-cost type of study to understand, assess and disseminate this type of heritage and the special appreciation and ownership that local communities have towards these churches as an engine of sustainable social development. Keywords: rural heritage; rural churches; early mediaeval heritage; Middle Ages 1. Introduction This work aims to discuss a key element of the heritage of North-Western Spain consisting of rural churches, and in particular, early mediaeval churches, based on the knowledge generated in a research project. The Project in question is “Early Medieval Churches: History, Archaeology and Heritage” (hereinafter, EMCHAHE), funded with an Action Marie Curie Career Integration Grant (PCIG12-GA-2012-334068) from the European Research Agency (European Commission, “People” Program of the “Frame Program 7”) in its 2012 call for bids and developed between 2013 and 2017.

  • 36 Seventeenth-Century News
    36 seventeenth-century news the clockwork universe while leaving God with room to act led him to believe that some divine purposes can be known and that science was the right way to achieve that knowledge. The addition of a small collection of “Strange Reports” to his Experimenta & Observationes Physicae (1691) reflects this interest in extraordinary phenomena. They were natural anomalies that could not be explained through the basic tenets of mechanical worldview. Moreover, one must recall Boyle’s distinction between “supernatural” and “preternatural,” the last indicating perfect natural phenomena transgressing the ordinary course of nature. This collection of essays is the last of a series of collections by Mi- chael Hunter, Emeritus Professor of History at Birkbeck, University of London. As it deals with some specific aspects of Boyle’s thought and personal events, it is suitable to readers who have already acquired a basic knowledge of the topics belonging to the Scientific Revolution, the discussion on science in modern Britain, and the impact of the Irish scientist on the achievement of the scientific account of nature. The Spanish Golden Age: Painting and Sculpture in the Time of Velázquez, exhibition catalogue, München: Hirmer, 2016. 334 pp. + 122 colored plates. €29. Review by Livia Stoenescu, Texas A&M University. The catalogue associated with the exhibitions El Siglo de Oro: The Age of Velázquez (Gemäldegalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, 2016) and The Spanish Golden Age: Painting and Sculpture in the Time of Velázquez (Kunsthalle der Hypo – Kulturstiftung 2016/2017) is a scholarly undertaking. While the exhibitions’ purview was to present the German public with an unprecedentedly comprehensive access to leading seventeenth-century Spanish artists, the catalogue provided the theoretical undergirding for such enterprise.
