Historical and geographic analyses emphasize the marginality of the western Pyrenees and the role of enforced social norms exacted by intense solidarities of kin and neighbors in agropastoral production. Both are satisfying and simple narratives, yet neither offers a realistic framework for understanding complex processes or the contingency and behavioral variability of human agents in transforming a landscape. The Long Anthropocene in the western Pyrenees was a spatially and temporally heterogeneous and asynchronous process, and the evidence frequently departs from conventional narratives about human landscape degradation in this agropastoral situation. A complementary place-based strategy that draws on geoarchaeological, biophysical, and socio-ecological factors is used to examine human causality and environmental resilience and demonstrate their relationship with the sustainability of mountain landscapes of the western Pyrenees over medium to long time intervals.

The aim of this study was to characterize the spiders inventory of the colluvial MSS of the Sierra de Guadar- rama National Park, and to assess the importance of this habitat for the conservation of the taxon. Thirty-three localities were selected across the high peaks of the Guadarrama mountain range and they were sampled for a year using subterranean traps specially designed to capture arthropods in the MSS.

  • Hispania, Italia and Occitania: Latin and the Vernaculars, Bilingualism Or Multilingualism?
    chapter 1 Hispania, Italia and Occitania: Latin and the Vernaculars, Bilingualism or Multilingualism? Arie Schippers Romance Vernaculars From medieval times in Italy, the Romance vernaculars and their literatures stood opposite Latin, which was the official, Church and literary language. Dante Alighieri’s Latin work De vulgari eloquentia is a testimony to this linguis- tic situation. The work describes the situation in Italy and is to a large extent the justification of the place that Dante’s poetry school occupied in the overall picture. But the situation in Italy—the cradle of Latin—does not stand in iso- lation from the rest of southern Europe, such as Hispania (Arabic al-Andalus and the region of present-day Spain and Portugal) and their respective litera- tures, and Occitania, the region where the oldest vernacular lyric of medieval Europe manifested itself, mainly in the love poetry of the troubadours. Occitan The linguistic space of Occitania was originally around Toulouse, in the Languedoc, in Provence and in Aquitania, the region that today we call the Midi. Occitania is a relatively new name for the region where Occitan was spoken. The name is derived from the word oc (Latin hoc), which means ‘yes’. The earlier terms Provence, Provençal, or Languedoc or Aquitania were not sufficient to denote the linguistic region. Today, however, the language from the north of France called langue d’oïl (Latin hoc illud / hoc ille) dominates the whole area that we call the Midi or southern France. There are some specific language pockets where Occitan dialects are still spoken, for example in the Aran valley in Spain, where the Aranese Occitan dialect is an officially rec- ognized language.1 Moreover, there is a certain artificial revival of forms of 1 In Val d’Aran teaching at elementary schools starts with three years of Aranes.

  • Spanish Pre-Pyrenees, Aragon
    Spanish Pre-Pyrenees, Aragon November An EVENTS meeting at Via Digital in Madrid (Cuidad de Imagen) on Monday 18th November presented an opportunity to do some Spanish birding on the Sunday. Twice previously at this time of year I have headed for Gallocanta, but on this occasion I set my sights a little further afield. In May one of my crazy but unexecuted plans was to spend a day birding in the Pyrenees: John Muddeman had given me the name of a guide who knows the area well and could give me some tips. As it turned out, Josele Saiz was away (guiding in Extremadura), and I went walking in the Sierra de Gredos instead. Now, in November, with key species such as Wallcreeper and Alpine Accentor wintering lower down in the pre-Pyrenees I did some homework and booked a night's stay at Casa Boletas and a day's birding with Josele. My flight arrived into Madrid Barajas at around 8.30. Soon after 9pm I was on my way up the NII towards Zaragoza in an upgraded hire-car - Renault Scenic – my quiet but excited smile to myself an outward expression of the feelings of space, freedom and anticipation that always accompany my long-distance birding trips. Apart from some fog on the high plains midway to Zaragoza which necessitated some restraint, I was able to bomb along the route to Huesca at 120-140kmh without difficulty. Loporzano, where Casa Boletas is situated, is only a few minutes drive east of Huesca. I reached there soon after midnight, easily finding the keys Esther had left out for me.

  • The Pyrenees Region by Friedrich Edelmayer
    The Pyrenees Region by Friedrich Edelmayer The Pyrenees region encompasses areas from the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of France and the Principality of An- dorra. It is also linguistically heterogeneous. In addition to the official state languages Spanish and French, Basque, Aragonese, Catalan and Occitan are spoken. All of these languages have co-official character in certain regions of Spain, although not in France. In the modern era, changes to the political-geographical boundary between the present states of France and Spain occurred in the 16th century, when the Kingdom of Navarre was divided into two unequal parts, and in 1659/1660 when northern Catalonia became part of France after the Treaty of the Pyrenees. However, the border area between France and Spain was not only a stage for conflict, but also a setting for numerous communi- cation and transfer processes. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

The border between France and Spain runs today mostly along the main ridge of the mountains and, with few exceptions, along the watershed between the rivers that meet the sea at the Spanish coast and those that meet the sea at the French coast.

  • Great Pyrenees Breed Introduction
    All information on these pages were taken from the www.greatpyr.com website. Greatpyr.com ©2005 Atlantia Communications Great Pyrenees Breed Introduction Early History The Great Pyrenees is native to the Basque country in the Pyrenees mountains that border France and Spain. Known as Le Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées in its native France, the Great Pyrenees is known to be one of the oldest breeds of dog in the world. While similar in size and stature to the Mastiff family, the Great Pyrenees is actually descended from the ancient large, white livestock guardian dogs of the middle ages and therefore evolved parallel to most modern breeds of dogs as opposed to being descended from them. Because of this, the Great Pyrenees has more in common with a wolf, than that of a modern dog. Having no extant ancestor, the Great Pyrenees has remained virtually unchanged both physically and mentally for hundreds of years. This has allowed it to evolve naturally over centuries, which among other things, means that the breed has relatively few health problems, in comparison to modern dogs. The first written reference to the Great Pyrenees is from 1407, where the historian of the Chateau of Lourdes wrote of the breed in use to guard the Chateau.

  • European Mountain Ranges
    European Mountain Ranges The Pyrenees The Pyrenees are a mountain range between France and Spain. They stretch 270 miles (435km) from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea. The highest peak is Pico de Aneto, which is 3,404 metres high. There are two rail lines which cross the Pyrenees. There are also a number of roads, some of which use tunnels to pass through the mountains. In the winter months, these roads are often closed due to bad weather. The Alps The Alps stretch from Slovenia to Austria. They pass through: • Italy • Switzerland • France • Germany. People come to see the wonderful scenery, to go mountaineering, hiking, mountain biking and even paragliding. In the winter months, people mainly visit to ski or snowboard. The highest peak here is Mont Blanc (White Mountain) which stands at 4,810 metres in height. It is the highest peak in Western Europe. A nearby town named Chamonix was where the first ever Winter Olympics took place in 1924. The Alps play an important role when it comes to the weather too. They act as a wind barrier meaning that south of the Alps is slightly drier and warmer.

They are: • the Czech Republic • Slovakia • Poland • Hungary • Ukraine • Romania • Serbia The mountains are home to 18 million people as well as animals such as wolves, bears and lynx.
