Discover the Underwater world - Incredible As Catedrais Beach in Ribadeo, Galicia | Camino del Norte
On the Day 29 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we passed through Ribadeo and Las Catedrales Beach in Galicia.
We packed everything up and were on the trail only at 12.00 a.m. So we hiked several kms along the coast, explored several amazing beaches with white sand and finally got to Ribadeo. We continued to hear the unusual Galician language around and were wandering the last days about how it formed and what is it similar to. And it stroke us that we're close to Portugal and it sounds much like Portuguese language. So we had a small walk in Ribadeo and then hoped on the train to move 3 stops further to get to the Praia As Catedrais which was known as a popular tourist attraction. The train stop was very close to it so after walking 2 kms along the coastal path we were at the place...

Churrigueresque
Churrigueresque refers to a Spanish Baroque style of elaborate sculptural architectural ornament which emerged as a manner of stucco decoration in Spain in the late 17th century and was used up to about 1750, marked by extreme, expressive and florid decorative detailing, normally found above the entrance on the main facade of a building.
Origins
Named after the architect and sculptor, José Benito de Churriguera (1665–1725), who was born in Madrid of a Catalan family (originally named Xoriguera), and who worked primarily in Madrid and Salamanca, the origins of the style are said to go back to an architect and sculptor named Alonso Cano, who designed the facade of the cathedral at Granada, in 1667.
A distant precursor (early 15th century) of the highly elaborate style can be found in the Lombard Charterhouse of Pavia; yet the sculpture-encrusted facade still has the Italianate appeal to rational narrative. The Churrigueresque style appeals to the proliferative geometry, and has a more likely ancestry in the Moorish architecture or Mudéjar architecture that still remained through south and central Spain. The interior stucco roofs of, for example the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos in Granada, Spain, flourish with detail and ornamentation.
Development
The development of the style passed through three phases. Between 1680 and 1720, the Churriguera popularized Guarino Guarini's blend of Solomonic columns and composite order, known as supreme order. Between 1720 and 1760, the Churrigueresque column, or estipite, in the shape of an inverted cone or obelisk, was established as a central element of ornamental decoration. The years from 1760 to 1780 saw a gradual shift of interest away from twisted movement and excessive ornamentation towards Neoclassical balance and sobriety.
Among the highlights of the style, interiors of the Granada Charterhouse offer some of the most impressive combinations of space and light in 18th-century Europe. Integrating sculpture and architecture even more radically, Narciso Tomé achieved striking chiaroscuro effects in his Transparente for the Toledo Cathedral. Perhaps the most visually intoxicating form of the style was Mexican Churrigueresque, practised in the mid-18th century by Lorenzo Rodriguez, whose masterpiece is the Sagrario Metropolitano (1749–69) in Mexico City, New Spain.

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca
Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca
Santa María la Blanca (literally Saint Mary the White, originally known as the Ibn Shushan Synagogue, or commonly The Congregational Synagogue of Toledo') is a museum and former synagogue in Toledo, Spain. Erected in 1180, it is disputably considered the oldest synagogue building in Europe still standing. It is now owned and preserved by the Catholic Church.
Its stylistic and cultural classification is unique as it was constructed under the Christian Kingdom of Castile by Islamic architects for Jewish use. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation that existed among the three cultures that populated the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
The synagogue is a Mudéjar construction, created by Moorish architects on Christian soil for non-Islamic purposes. But it can also be considered one of the finest example of Almohad architecture because of its construction elements and style. The plain white interior walls as well as the use of brick and of pillars instead of columns are characteristics of Almohad architecture.
The synagogue at Santa Maria la Blanca is located on the outskirts of Toledo situated between the Church of San Juan de los Reyes and the Synagogue of El Transito. Other well-preserved, pre-expulsion synagogues can be found in Híjar, Córdoba and Tomar.
Santa Maria la Blanca was a wholly unusual synagogue, in both plan and elevation. The floor plan of the synagogue is an irregular quadrilateral divided into five aisles, with the central nave aisle slightly larger than the remaining four. The space runs between 26 and 28 meters long and between 19 and 23 meters wide. The interior features a series of arcades supported on a network of twenty-four octagonal piers and eight engaged piers. These octagonal supports line the central aisle of the synagogue and support the large arcade of horseshoe arches above. The arches rest on intricately detailed capitals with finely carved pinecones and other vegetal imagery. These capitals are Mudéjar in style and are derived from classical, Corinthian antecedents as well as Byzantine concepts.

The King lives in Zarzuela Palace, which is just outside of Madrid.It is sometimes incorrectly referred to in Spanish as Palacio de Oriente due to its close proximity to the Plaza de Oriente square, which is on the east (Oriental) side of the palace.The origin of the palace dates back to the ninth century when the Muslim kingdom of Toledo built a defense that was later used by the kings of Castile, who, during the 16th century, built the former Alcázar castle.The current Royal Palace, was built on the site of the old Alcázar which was destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve 1734. King Felipe V decided to build a palace for his Borbon dynasty. The Italian Filippo Juvara was selected to design the new palace and his plans were to create a grand palace along the lines of France's Versailles. All construction was vaulted in stone and brick, not wood, so that any fire could destroy it.The works were carried out between 1738 and 1755, Carlos III established his residence there in 1764.Royal Palace of Madrid 2 For interior decoration, rich materials were used: spanish marble, stucco, mahogany doors and windows and important works of art, particularly frescoes by leading artists of the moment as Giaquinto, Tiepolo and Mengs and his Spanish followers Bayeu and Maella.The decoration of the Royal Palace of Madrid has been changing over time according to the different artistic styles of the moment.It has a central interior courtyard, whilst another courtyard, the Plaza de Armas, on the south side, acts as the principal entrance to the palace.

Royal Palace of Madrid
The Palacio Real de Madrid (literally: Royal Palace of Madrid) is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city of Madrid, but is only used for state ceremonies. King Felipe VI and the Royal Family do not reside in the palace, choosing instead the more modest Palacio de la Zarzuela on the outskirts of Madrid. The palace is owned by the Spanish State and administered by the Patrimonio Nacional, a public agency of the Ministry of the Presidency. The palace is located on Calle de Bailén (Bailén Street), in the Western part of downtown Madrid, East of the Manzanares River, and is accessible from the Ópera metro station. Several rooms in the palace are regularly open to the public except during state functions. An admission fee of €11 is required except for residents of the Iberian Peninsula.
In Spanish, it is sometimes incorrectly called Palacio de Oriente by confusion with the Plaza de Oriente, the square which lies to the East (Oriental) side of the palace.

16th-Century Doctrines of Just War & the Origins of the Spanish Empire
Kluge Fellow Andrew Devereux examined the legal and moral questions of empire on the threshold of the early modern era by casting light on Spain's expansionary ventures in the Mediterranean basin in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. His talk focused on Spain's Mediterranean expansion, particularly on Spanish designs on the Holy Land and the ways in which the acquisition of the title to the defunct crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem served as the basis for legal arguments justifying war and conquest in a range of lands inhabited by non-Christian peoples.
Speaker Biography: Andrew Devereux is assistant professor of history at Loyola Marymount University. He is a historian of the medieval and early modern Mediterranean. Devereux earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, where his dissertation examined Spanish imperial ideologies in the context of the Mediterranean world.

9 Of The World's Most Luxurious Train Journeys
9 Of The World's Most Luxurious Train Journeys
The Belmond Andean Explorer, Peru
South America’s first luxury sleeper train, the new Belmond Andean Explorer, follows one of the highest rail lines in the world. The one- and two-night journeys embrace the Peruvian Altiplano, Lake Titicaca and the Sumbay Caves, with links to Cusco and Arequipa. The 24 cabins are roomy and stylish, with handwoven fabrics and the soft tones of alpaca wool.
Train Suite Shiki Shima, Japan
The one-, two- and three-night journeys on this new ultra-luxury train take guests deep into the beauty of the eastern Japanese countryside. The cabins are all proper suites, outfitted with modern Japanese furnishings and materials. The white-tablecloth restaurant serves refined regional cuisine, the lounge and observation cars are full of wide windows, and the crew serves as butlers and concierges.
The Presidential Train, Portugal
Built in 1890 as the Royal Train for King Dom Luis I, this train took on this incarnation two years ago, after a theater producer invested €1 million in a two-year restoration. It’s now his love letter to Portugal. On full-day journeys through the Douro Valley, Portuguese food and wine especially important. A different Michelin-caliber chef cooks each weekend it runs, and the one lengthy stop is at a winery.
The Maharajas’ Express, India
The best-known of India’s luxury trains, the Maharajas’ Express takes 88 guests at a time on a four- or eight-night odyssey through the county’s most fascinating places, Jaipur, Varanasi and Goa among them (and of course the Taj Mahal). The cabins have a classically Indian design, and the two fine-dining restaurant cars, bar and lounge are downright opulent. But there are plenty of reasons to disembark: the train makes stops for elephant polo matches and evening Aarti rituals at the bathing ghats of the Ganges.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Europe
The historic name Orient-Express is pretty much synonymous with “ultra-luxury train travel. While not the same train, Belmond's luxury carriages, which run from London to Paris, Venice and Istanbul, are getting an upgrade in March. The three new Grand Suites with private bathrooms and showers and 1920s-style Art Deco interiors that reflect the spirit of those cities. Think embossed leather for Istanbul, chic furnishings for Paris and handcrafted Venetian glass.
The Blue Train, South Africa
An icon of South Africa, the Blue Train has been taking guests from Pretoria to Cape Town for 70 years. The nearly 1,000-mile journey is 31 hours of indulgence, with spacious cabins, five-star service and cuisine, an award-winning wine list and 24-hour butler service. It’s an environment where people still dress for dinner—jacket and tie required—and while champagne and caviar aren’t included in the rate, they’re available. The Blue Train also makes a one-way 19-hour overnight “rail safari” as part of a package that combines the train with one of the safari lodges in the Greater Kruger and Sabi Sands areas.
The Ghan, Australia
Since 1929, the Ghan has been regarded as one of the world’s greatest rail journeys. Over the course of four days, it wends from Darwin through the red center of the outback to Adelaide. There are plenty of stops along the way for Northern Territory adventures, such as hiking through canyons and taking camel rides. Back on board, there are artfully prepared meals of local specialties such as barramundi and kangaroo, craft beer and some of Australia’s best wines. Platinum class guests enjoy three five-course meals a day.
The Canadian, VIA Rail, Canada
Over the course of three days, the Canadian winds its way through the magnificent mountains, prairies and lake country between Vancouver and Toronto. During the day, guests dine and relax in panoramic cars with clear ceilings, the better to take in those stunning views.
El Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, Spain
Another instance of time travel back to the 1920s golden age of rail travel, the social carriages and cabins on El Transcantábrico Gran Lujo add up to an authentic five-star hotel on rails, with the 21st-century essentials (like private bathrooms). The eight-day journey from Santiago de Compostela to San Sebastián is a celebration of the Spanish landscape, gastronomy, culture, glamour, entertainment and relaxation.
