Spanish wisdom and holiness

Spain is one of the three countries in the world that has a holy city; Santiago de Compostela proudly occupies a holy place together with Rome and Jerusalem as Saint James (which in Spanish is translated as Santiago) lived a big part of his life here and did missionary work. The legend of the Spanish holy city is not complicated: after Jesus Christ was crucified, Saint James chose Galicia to do his missionary work. Because the Christian religion was not recognized during those times, Saint James was beheaded in the Holy Land but his remains were taken to Galicia by the ones who followed and believed him. It seems like he was buried there, but his remains were discovered in 813 by a Christian hermit. During his rule, King Alphonso II ordered the construction of a church on the place where the remains of Saint James were discovered. It is this church, now an imposing Cathedral that attracts pilgrims from all over the world in their attempt to find redemption.

All roads lead to Santiago de Compostela

The famous and popular Way of Saint James that ends in Santiago de Compostela unites a series of other religious routes: the French Way, the route that comes to Spain crossing the Pyrenees, the Silver Route that connects Galicia and Andalusia, the Northern Route that comes from the Basque country, the Maritime Routes that take pilgrims from Northern Europe to the holy city and last but not the least, the Portuguese Way that comes from Oporto. People have followed these routes for centuries in their holy trip to Santiago de Compostela. Some of the pilgrims take the decision to walk the entire route, which usually takes them about two weeks. However, you should know that this is not a rule: you can walk only the last 100 kilometers or horse ride along the last 200 kilometers. It is the idea and the intention that matters for the entire concept of the pilgrimage. What you have to keep in mind is that in ferienwohnungen spanien Santiago de Compostela, you are not alone. Around 600 pilgrims arrive to the Cathedral on a daily basis and if it happens to be a Holy Year (that is the 25th of July, the day that celebrates Saint James falls on a Sunday), the number can go high up to 2700 pilgrims. That is impressive, isn’t it?

Valencia is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. Even though it has a very modern aspect, the biggest attraction of the city is represented by its amazing history.

This makes things very difficult, so think twice before taking a new step! You might get to the point where you regret it.

A short description of a beautiful city

Granada is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in Spain. People come here attracted by the Moorish beauty that seems to surround not only the city, but its inhabitants and its customs. However, don’t expect the city to be as beautiful and as attractive as the Alhambra, because that is not the case. It is true that there are beautiful places in the city that deserve your attention, but nothing can compare to the great fortress that made Granada world-renowned.

A few words about the Alhambra

For those who don’t yet know, a complex of palaces built by the Moors is what you will find at the Alhambra. The Moorish architecture is one of the most impressive types of architecture in the world, one that stresses detail and elegance, so prepare yourself to be stunned once you cross the gates of the fortress.

Points of interest in the city

Granada has a few monuments that deserve your attention apart from the Alhambra. One of these monuments is the 16th century Santa Ana Church, displaying a beautiful Mudejar style.

The sightseeing list continues with the Puerta del Elvira, the gate which formed part of a Moorish wall.

Students love Granada because it is a city that knows how to combine its historical aspects with the modern needs of young people, so the nightlife is satisfying.

Trips to Spain

For those who want a special holiday on the European Continent, Spain is an exquisite choice. Rumors that Spain is one of the most beautiful countries in the world are not simply rumors, they are facts. In order to convince yourself about it, you have to see it with your own eyes. If you already know that Spain is your holiday destination, but the exact part of Spain to visit is a total mystery to you, I strongly recommend Extremadura.

Extremadura has Merida as its capital and consists of two provinces: Caceres and Badajoz. In Extremadura, Merida is a must on your list of places to visit, because the Roman ruins are absolutely spectacular. The Romans turned Extremadura into a very important part of the country, giving it important roles. Since the region was of great importance for the entire country, the capital also received an important role and became a main city. A few decades later, the region was obliged to play the role of being a border between the Moors and the Christians and their empires, but with the famous discovery of America, there was some relief.

Extremadura is a beautiful region of Spain, with landscapes that vary from high mountain ranges such as the Sierra Morena or Cardillera Central, to vast plains and valleys which belong to the Tajo and Guadiana Rivers. The climate is not as welcoming in winters as it is in other parts of Spain, because it is a continental one, with hot summers, but cold winters. Not too many tourists choose Extremadura for their holiday destination, which makes it a very relaxed and detached experience, far from all the noise and agitation of mass tourism. However, when you visit it, you will be impressed by the beauty of their traditions, with their colorful and lively costumes and by the beauty of the ceramics and metal handmade objects.

The main attractions

The region has a few important cities which deserve your attention. Merida is of course the main attraction, with its Roman ruins, such as the aqueducts, the colossal Theatre or the bridge. Guadalupe is also very nice and world-renowned for being the city where the great Pizarro was born. Plasencia is worth visiting for the Cathedral which displays Gothic and Plateresque elements, while the Mudejar style is hosted by location villa lloret  Guadalupe.

Have lots of fun in your holiday and enjoy every single moment of it!

Places to spend wonderful holidays

Spain is a country that deserves your attention, one of those places on the European continent which you must visit at least once in your lifetime. The province of Galicia is where the amazing Santiago de Compostela is located. The main reason why people visit Santiago de Compostela, and why it is so renowned, is because it represents the final destination in a long pilgrimage, the one known as the Way of Santiago. The city received its name from Apostle James (“James” in Spanish is “Santiago”) who spent a large part of his life visiting these places, trying to convince people to convert to the Christian religion. When he finished his mission in Spain, he returned to Palestine, but he was killed. Because the King didn’t allow his burial, the disciples took his body and buried it on the coast of Spain, inside the trunk of a tree. In 813 AD, the body was discovered in the wood and the person who discovered it described the discovery as something that was shining (Compostela can be translated as field of stars). This is the legend of how the city received its name. As a result of the shining discovery, the Bishop Teodomiro ordered further investigations, so this is the story of how the tomb of Apostle James was found. Saint James became the patron of the city and the chapel built in his honor still exists.

Legends of Santiago de Compostela

Thousands of witnesses affirm the fact that they have been assisted in a series of miracles and they all say that it is Saint James who performed them. The legend says that Saint James even fought on the side of the famous King Ramiro I, who wanted to re-conquer the city from the Moors. Every year the number of pilgrims who visit the city in order to spend peaceful time in the proximity of Saint James’ tomb gets higher and higher. Because of the fact that the city was of great religious importance during the 12th and the 13th centuries, Pope Alexander III decided that it deserves the status of a Holy Town. This is how Santiago de Compostela became equivalent in religious importance to Jerusalem or Rome. Santiago villa huren spanje is a wonderful city, not only for those who are religious persons, but  also for any tourist who likes to know details related to the history of Spain.

Santiago de Compostela is the perfect destination for the type of tourists who only want to sightsee, to discover the mysteries of the city, to get into its history and feel its spirit, its culture and its traditions. If you have already decided that Santiago de Compostela is your destination, then this is what you have to do: start your sightseeing list with the Obradoiro Square. Locals say that the name of the square comes from the Spanish “Obra de Oro’’ which can be translated into English as masterpiece or work of gold. The name seems to fit the looks and the entire aspect of the square because it really is a fantastic place, a place which shines over the entire city. The Cathedral you will find in the Obradoiro Square was built in 1075 and its construction coincides with the most important period in the history of the city. The Square also hosts the amazing Gelmirez and Rajoy Palaces as well as the Fonseca College, a 15th century Monastery.  The sightseeing list should continue with the Platerias Square, the place where the most beautiful silver objects can be bought. The square has a Gothic Cathedral which displays a Romanesque façade. The Quintana Square is famous for the Berenguela and the Reloj towers as well as the San Pelayo Monastery, which is also the oldest building you can find in Santiago de Compostela. Alphonse II ordered its construction in the 11th century in order to have a special place for the remains of Apostle James.

Continuing the exploration of the city

The Alzabacheria Square is another beautiful part of the city; this is the square where San Martin Pinario Monastery is found, dating back to the 16th century. The original building displayed a Gothic style, but what tourists visit today is a restoration done between the 17th and 18th centuries. The part of the city which surrounds the University is another attractive one, especially because it offers you the possibility of taking extremely romantic walks. Since you are there, visit the Monroy Palace and the Mondragon ferienhäuser lloret de mar Palace; they will take you into chambers of rare beauty.

A wonderful city, wonderful monuments

Madrid is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and the most important one since it is the capital of the country. Millions of people visit its museums, old buildings and streets, attracted by the impressive history that surrounds all of them. Another reason why it attracts so many tourists is probably because of the perfect combination of old and new; the two extremes mingle so well in the city that it is impossible not to adore it and fall in love with it from the first moment you see it. If you are interested in visiting the monuments of the city in the chronological order of their appearance, then you should start your trip with the 16th century monuments. The walls of the city date back before the 16th century and they represent the fortifications that the Moors and later the Christians built in order to protect the city; these fortifications were built in the 9th and the 10th century. The San Pedro and the San Nicolas Churches were also built before the 16th century and they are extremely

important for the city because they display two wonderful Mudejar Towers.

The 16th and the 17th century

The 16th century brought the beautiful Segovia Bridge and the famous Descalzas Reales Monastery; the monastery is famous because it displays exquisite plateresque facades and a unique Renaissance stair. The 17th century is one that made Madrid flourish from the architectural point of view. It is the century when the popular Plaza Mayor was built, the heart and soul of the city. It is also the period when the Encarnacion Monastery saw daylight as well as the Colegiata de San Isidro Church, a wonderful example of Baroque architecture.

Sightseeing the monuments of the 18th and the 19th century

Palacio Real was born in the 18th century; I think that there is no tourist who does not want to visit this fine example of Italian Baroque architecture. The 18th century is also the century in which the Prado Museum was built as well as the picturesque Botanical Gardens and the Puerta de Alcala. Last but not the least; the 19th century hosted the construction of the Puerta del Sol and the famous Zarzuela Theatre. The period when you decide to visit villa lloret Madrid does not matter, but you have to do it at least once in your lifetime because it is a spectacular city.
