| Aragon Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day! Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day! David Cross Aragon Aragon is one of the nothern regions of Spain and is crossed by the river Ebro. If you are a fan of hiking or skiing, you can go to the Pyrenees (here at their highest) or the seldom explored mountains in the south of Aragon. In the Pyrenean valleys you might see sword dances, which are still performed here. Visiting Aragon you can't miss the beautiful roman city Zaragoza, the capital of this region, mudejar's art in Teruel and medieval cities Albarracin and Sos del Rey Católico. _______Beaches Edit This PLEASE ADD BEACHES TO THIS SITE FOR ARAGON [add Beach] ::::::::Ainsa Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Ainsa is the terminus of the minibus from Sabiñanigo through Torla, which skirts Ordesa National Park. If the bus drops you at the bottom of the hill where hte newer part is, you may wonder why you bothered to come - but look across the road and you will see a sign for pedestrians pointing upwards towards the old part and what a transformation. You have a huge square surrounded by cloistered buildings with the church at the end and two steep parallel lanes leading down from it. :::::::::Albarracin Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x Albarracin Javier Gil A beautiful medieval city in the Pyrenees. ::::::Cantavieja Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Main church at Cantavieja Main church at Cantavieja davidx Cantavieja is a small village and its specific sights can be quickly seen. However it's a vital link in the cicuit Valencia - Teruel - Maestrazgo - Castellón - Valencia, better described under Teruel. At least done in this direction, the circuit entails a night spent in Cantavieja and that's no hardship. The narrow streets of the old town grow on you rapidly and it's good to just stoll around, even though the hilltop location induces mighty winds. Some of the houses are built immediatley over a sheer rocky precipice but you will need to take quite a walk to see this from below. If staying longer, you would doubtless find many good routes into the Maestrazgo mountains. _________Sights Edit This Town Hall Town Hall davidx Cantavieja gives good views from its hilltop position into the mountains of the Maestrazgo area. However there are not a lot of specific sights in the village itself, other than the church shown on the main Cantavieja page and the arcaded area to its right that includes the ayuntamiento [town hall] and the TIC. ::::::Huesca Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see San Juste de Noche San Juste de Noche Vicente Guerrero Huesca lies at the foot of the Pyrenees. It is the second biggest city of the Community of Aragon. The city is picturesque and a stroll through the streets of the old town gives you the opportunity to visit some museums and sights that testify of the long history of Huesca. The Cathedral dates from the 13-th century but has seen many additions in later centuries - the hole is very convincing. Next to the Cathedral, the Diocesano museum has many pieces of great value, like altarpieces and murals of lost churches. The City council was built in the 16-th century and offers a good example of the Aragonese Renaissance style. Nearby on the Plaza de la Universidad you will find some old university buildings which now serve as a museum and can be visited. Also within the historical centre, the Church of San Pedro el Viejo is worth a visit. It was built on ancient temple, and is drawn up in Romanic style. In the Church the kings of Aragón are buried. Other religious buildings of note include the Basilica of San Lorenzo, in baroque style (s.XVII), the Church of Santo Domingo and San Martín, and that of Santa Teresa. :::::Jaca Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The Monastery, Siresia The Monastery, Siresia David Cross Jaca is most often reached from Huesca, the provincial capital, by bus or train. Hoewever it provides one of the easiest entrances to Spain over the Pyrenees from Oleron Ste Marie in France and if you have reached the Ordesa National Park from the east, it it is easy to get a bus to Sabañanigo and change for Jaca. The town itself has an interesting cathedral and an extensive citadel but it does lie a short distance away from the mountains which are the main attraction for most visitors. Even so it provides a good centre for a holiday with a car. Those dependant on public transport may prefer to stay further into the mountains. ________Getting Around Edit This The Monastery, Siresia The Monastery, Siresia David Cross The bus out from Jaca to the delightful villages of Hecho [sometimes called Echo] and Ansó only runs in the evening and returns in the morning, meaning that they don't make convenient day trips unless with private transport. However they may well be thought to merit an overnight stay [or more.] Each is situated in its own valley some way south of the mountains which grace the French frontier. Just up-valley from Hecho, which is the first reached from Jaca, is Siresia, a small village with a ninth century monastery. Hecho itself is nowhere near as old as its winding streets and different depth steps would suggest but it really has a feeling of antiquity. Its few shops have an astonishing assortment of goods. Casa Blasquico, near the bus stop, is a very friendly place to stay with excellent food. Ansó is the base for Alto Aragón holidays so more non-Spanish speech is to be heard. Again it is a well situated village though again it is a fair walk to the mountains. To compensate for this with those using public transport, which does not go up into the mountains, it seems much easier to hitch a lift here than in Spain generally. NB Public transport users can get to Oleron Ste Marie first by train and bus and be back in Jaca in easy time to get the evening bus to either of these villages. When leaving on the morning bus it is easy to get buses on the same day from Jaca to Sabañanigo and then on to Torla for Ordesa National Park __________Day Trips Edit This The obvious day trip for those using public transport is across the French border and out to Oleron Ste Marie and back. This is easily achieved by first getting a train or bus to Canfranc, near the border. From outside the station SNCF [French Railways] runs a bus to Oleron Ste Marie through fine wooded mountain slopes and valleys. NB There are also local buses from Canfranc to Jaca which can be caught at the stop in view a little ABOVE the station _______Things to do Edit This Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day! Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day! David Cross Anybody who has not already been should try to get to the Ordesa National Park [http://www.ordesa.net/]. Click on como llegar to get the timetable of the minibus froom Sabañanigo but you can get a lot of other information here. There is a very regular coach service from Torla up to the national Park from the vast car park in Torla and, except in the winter, cars are not permitted to go in the park. Torla may have been spoilt for those who have known it a long time by new building but for those staying in the centre it is not particularly troublesome. Walks from the Ordesa carpark are of all levels from very simple to monstrous. ::::::::Ordesa National Park Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Torla Torla Yan Simkin (leprechaun_1) The best entry point for Ordesa is Torla - see 'getting there.' There is no access for private cars, except in the winter, but a coach runs up every 20 minutes from the large car park There is a limit to the number allowed in at any one time but this is certainly not a problem outside the main holiday season. You can get off the coach at the Exhibition Centre [well worth while] and continue in another coach to the Ordesa coach park on the same ticket. here there is an information centre for walks, a cafeteria and toilets. Walks are of all standards. Those who are not into steep slopes may well enjoy the walk from Ordesa back down to Torla by a very attractive footpath - only the last bit from the river being uphill. Otherwise it is possible to folow the river upwards for quite some distance before the path gets steeper. Thre are Land Rover taxis, which do higher trips into the park but you have to provide a group or join onto one to make this a financially good proposition. ________Getting There Edit This In Torla - dodgy weather In Torla - dodgy weather davidx Access is provided by a minibus, which hauls a trailer for your luggage from Sabiñanigo to Ainsa, morning out and afternoon return. Timetables for this service and times from a number of cities to reach it are provided on http://www.ordesa.net/como-llegar/ The site is in Spanish but this should not trouble you unduly. It may be worth remembering that it is possible to arrive in time at Sabiñanigo via Jaca from either of the delightful villages of Ansó or Hecho ::::::::SASTAGO Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Puente de Sástago a orillas del Río Ebro Puente de Sástago a orillas del Río Ebro Luis Serrano GREAT PLACE ::::::::::Sos del Rey Católico Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Sos del Rey Catolico Sos del Rey Catolico Info Aragon Medieval aragonese city where was born Ferdinand The Catolic, king of Aragon, married with Isabel of Castille, and discover of America. :::::::Teruel Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Aqueduct/viaduct Aqueduct/viaduct davidx Teruel is capital of the province with the same name in Aragón. It is well up on the edge of the Maestrazgo mountainous area, which is shared by Aragón and Valencia. The city rises steeply from the station but take the long motor route left as a pedestrian, rtaher than going up the staircase, unless you are happy with a lot of steps. Although there are plenty of good modernist and renaissance buildings, Teruel's glory lies in its Mudejar architecture which is as good as any in Spain, not excepting Toledo. Details of the best of these and of the superb Provincial Museum and the Renaissance aqueduct based on the Roman pattern will be listed under sights. A good circuit with a mixture of scenic, architectural and cultural attractions is , starting a Valencia : train to Teruel [three a day - or bus], bus to Cantavieja [1500], bus to Morella [0545 - oh dear!]. bus to Castellón [0740*], train to Valencia [frequent]. * Some guidebooks give an incorrect impression that there are two buses a day from Morella to Castellón. Mudejar architecture, for those who don't know, is a specifically Spanish style developed by Moorish architects working for Christians after the re-conquest. Thus the Mudejar churches of Teruel were built as such, not as mosques. It seems a great pity that photos generally don't really bring out the delicate use of colour in the façades of the towers. They realy need to be seen. :::::::::::Zaragoza Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x Zaragoza is the capital of Aragon. It is a city full of custom and culture. Only small numbers of non-Spanish find their way to this large and lively city between Madrid and Barcelona. Three quarters of the million people population of Aragon are living in Zaragoza. Besides some outstanding historic sights and its proximity to the central Pyrenees, there are excellent restaurants serving Aragonese food. :::::::::[H]echo Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see In Echo In Echo davidx Hecho or Echo is a village on the edge of the Pyrenees, not far from Jaca. The only bus is in the evening so you are almost obliged to stay if you want to go at all, hardly a great hardship! It is an idyllic village, seeming older than it actually is, with steps and winding roads. Only about 3 kilometres away is the smaller village of Siresa with an ancient monastery. The mountains are further up the valley and there is no way there other than car or foot. Pyrenees Guide .com - hecho & anso valley tourism travel guide |

La Spagna (Reino de España) è una monarchia parlamentare nel sudovest dell'Europa. Assieme al Portogallo forma la penisola iberica. Nel nordest confina, separata dai Pirenei, con la Francia e lo Stato di Andorra. A sud confina con Gibilterra (colonia del Regno Unito). Nel continente africano tramite i territori di Ceuta e Melilla confina col Marocco.
[modifica] GeografiaMari: Oceano Atlantico, Mar Mediterraneo. Fiumi: I fiumi sono numerosi ma hanno un regime irregolare, che ne limita lo sfruttamento come vie di comunicazione. I principali sono l'Ebro, il Guadalquivir, il Duero, il Tago e la Guadiana. Laghi: I più estesi prendono il nome di bacini (bacino di Alcàntara). Coste: Le coste atlantiche settentrionali sono frastagliate ed incise da profonde rias; quelle mediterranee, invece, sono piatte e poco articolate, con eccezione del golfo di Valencia e dell'area deltizia dell'Ebro e di alcuni promontori. Golfi: Golfo di Valencia, Golfo di Biscaglia. Isole: Isole Baleari (Maiorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera), Isole Canarie (San Miguel de La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura). Monti: Sistema Iberico, Sistema Centrale, Cordigliera Cantabrica, Sistema Bètico, Sierra Morena, Sierra Nevada (monte Mulhacèn). Pianure: Pianura dell'Ebro, depressione Betica. Vulcani: / Clima: Il clima è continentale: le regioni settentrionali sono interessate da un clima atlantico, mite e piovoso; a Sud e nelle Isole Baleari il clima è mediterraneo, con scarse precipitazioni e temperature medie elevate. Un clima molto secco ma rinfrescato dall'Oceano si trova nelle Canarie. Ambienti Naturali: La forma del territorio spagnolo è tozza e poco articolata. Possiamo distinguervi 3 regioni geografiche:
Posizione: Penisola Iberica, Europa occidentale.

La Spagna è suddivisa in 17 regioni autonome (comunidad autónoma,
al plurale: comunidades autónomas) che sono ulteriormente suddivise
in 50 province, più due città autonome (Ceuta
e Melilla)
e la colonia di
Gibilterra.
[modifica] DemografiaLa popolazione è costituita in prevalenza da Spagnoli e vi sono minoranze etnico-linguistiche, concentrate in alcune regioni. Notevole è la presenza di immigrati nordafricani, molti dei quali clandestini, che lavorano soprattutto nelle aziende agricole della Spagna Meridionale. La conformazione del territorio condiziona la distribuzione (squilibrata) della popolazione: sulle coste, lungo le valli dei fiumi e nelle regioni economicamente più progredite, in cui sono sviluppate l'agricoltura e le industrie, la densità supera i 300 abitanti per km². Nelle aree della Meseta, invece, la densita è sotto i 25 ab. per km². La popolazione urbana (77%) è costantemente in crescita. Popolazione: 44.708.964 Densità: 88,6 ( ab./kmq)
[modifica] ReligioniCattolici 85 %, atei e agnostici 12%, altri cristiani 2%, musulmani 1%.
[modifica] Risorse ed attività economicheL'ingresso nell'UE e la democrazia hanno permesso alla Spagna l'apertura verso i mercati esteri e l'espansione delle imprese nei Paesi Latinoamericani, dove la Spagna è il primo investitore straniero. Si parla perciò di "reconquista economica". Sett. Primario (7%): l'agricoltura, molto meccanizzata, utilizza tecniche moderne e pianifica operazioni di investimento. Gran parte del suolo è arido o semiarido, e le risorse idriche, essendo scarse, hanno bisogno di interventi statali. Molto marcata è la diversità tra terre non irrigate (Meseta) e quelle irrigate delle valli. Nelle prime si coltivano cereali, nelle seconde ortaggi, piante industriali (quali, tabacco, cotone, etc…). Sono diffusi anche vite e ulivo, coltivate nelle tipiche colline e coste meridionali. I prodotti agricoli esportati, sono in concorrenza in particolare con l'Italia, mentre è con il Portogallo che divide il primato mondiale per la produzione di sughero. Nei pascoli si allevano in prevalenza ovini (lana merinos), bovini e suini. In Andalusia si allevano, inoltre, tori da corrida. La pesca (acciughe, sardine, tonni, lavorati dalla moderna industria conserviera) è molto sviluppata e conta su una buona flotta. Sett. Secondario (29%): le risorse minerarie hanno favorito lo sviluppo industriale. Vi sono giacimenti di zinco, ferro, rame, piombo, zolfo, mercurio, etc… Gli investimenti stranieri, sono stati scelti per modernizzare l'industria. L'attività industriale è divisa in 4 aree: Asturie e Prov. Basche con Bilbao (meccanica e siderurgica), Madrid (chimica, petrolchimica), Barcellona (alimentare, tessile), Valencia e Cartagena (raffinerie). Importante è il comparto tessile e la calzaturiera, in ammodernamento. Sett. Terziario (64%): è in grande espansione, con un turismo internazionale e vie di comunicazione efficienti ed ammodernate. La navigazione marittima ha grande importanza. Lo sviluppo delle telecomunicazioni e delle tecnologie informatiche è notevole.

[modifica] Aspetti storico culturaliLa Spagna è formata da una pluralità di regioni diverse per storia, lingua e cultura, e conta 17 Comunità autonome. Le principali sono la Navarra, i Paesi Baschi, il Regno di Leon, la Galizia, la Castiglia, la Valenciana, l'Andalusia e la Catalogna Le caratteristiche del MINE FOUR sono molto importanti.
[modifica] Storia
Si può effettivamente iniziare a parlare di Regno di Spagna a partire dal 1492 finita la reconquista e con il matrimonio tra Isabella I Regina di Castiglia e Leòn e Ferdinando V Re di Aragona e Catalogna. In effetti non esiste una data certa che definisce la nascita effettiva del Regno di Spagna. Difatti con sicurezza si può dire che con l'avvento degli Asburgo e in particolare dopo la morte di Carlo V (Carlos I in Spagna) il regno prese definitivamente in tutta Europa il nome di Spagna. Con l'annessione nel 1512 del Regno di Navarra, la Spagna ottenne un unità territoriale sul continente, che ha mantenuto fino ad oggi.
[modifica] TurismoIl turismo è la maggiore forma di guadagno in Spagna, che negli ultimi anni si affermata quale meta turistica più frequentata del Mediterraneo, scavalcando nelle statistiche Italia e Grecia. I luoghi più visitati sono: la capitale, Barcellona, Santiago de Compostela, le isole Canarie e Baleari, le città andaluse e gli stabilimenti balneari lungo la Costa del Sol.

| Navarre and Aragon Navarre and Aragon - Travelpuppy.com These two medieval kingdoms are located southwest of the French border, with the Pyrenees to the northeast. The landscape offers spectacular views, the mountains contrasting with the lush valleys of the lower ground. This is a popular area for skiing and winter sports. The main resorts include Astun, Candanchú, Cerler, El Formigal, and Panticosa. Navarre Pamplona has been inundated with tourists ever since American writer Ernest Hemingway put the town on the map with his novel The Sun Also Rises (1927). His fascination was with the Corrida, the running of the bulls, at the Festival of San Fermín , July 6th - 14th. During this week, brave or foolhardy visitors join the young men of the town in trying to outrun a large herd of bulls that stampedes through the town’s narrow, closed streets. Visitors should book early and expect relatively high prices. Outside the fiesta season, Pamplona’s main attractions are its old walled quarter, Renaissance Cathedral and imposing Citadel. Aragon Aragon rose to prominence in the late 15th century when its kings resided at Zaragoza, now the regional capital of Aragon. Located on the River Ebro, it is a university town with a medieval Cathedral, a 17th-century basilica dedicated to the Virgin of Pilar (a focus of pilgrimage and celebrations in the second week of October) and the Aljafería, a Moorish palace dating from the 11th to the 15th centuries. The Museo de Zaragoza has finds dating back to the city’s Roman foundations. In the surrounding countryside there are several areas noted for their wine production, such as Borja and Cariñena, and several castles. Huesca, located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, is an important market town. There are several attractions within easy reach, including the Ordesa National Park, excellent walking and climbing country. The popular summer holiday resort of Arguis in the Puerto de Monrepós region. The spa town of Balneario de Panticosa, and the high-altitude resort and frontier town of Canfranc. The third and southernmost province of Aragon is Teruel. The provincial capital is sited on a hill which is surrounded by the gorges of the Rio Turia. It has a pronounced Moorish influence (the last mosque was not closed until 10 years after the end of the Reconquista in 1492), and there are several architectural survivals from its Islamic period. Nearby is the small episcopal city of Sergobe, spectacularly situated between two castle-crowned hills. |
