Pilgrimage camino de santiago map4/29/2024 ![]() ![]() From the “Foot of the Pass,” it is a steep climb for the first 8km to Orisson, then it is mostly uphill (but not very steep) for most of the French part. The distance between here and Roncesvalles is the most physically difficult stretch of road you are likely to encounter on the whole of your camino. It is a required document in most pilgrim-specific accommodation, earns you pilgrim prices in many museums, and will serve as proof of your journey when presented to the Pilgrims Office in Santiago if you are planning on getting your Compostela Certificate. This accordion-fold booklet is your passport to the camino and will become your most cherished souvenir of the trip. ![]() Look to the cobbled streets for the well-trodden plaques that point the way to Santiago de Compostela.īefore you set off for the Pyrenees and the border crossing into Spain be certain to pick up a pilgrim’s credencial at the pilgrims office ( Rue de la Citadelle). Landmarks to explore include the Citadelle at the top of town, the Porte de San Jacques, and the Notre Dame du Bout du Pont. If reservations are not part of your plans, march on with the philosophy that the camino provides, as it so often does in the most unexpected of ways. You are advised to have a reservation before arriving, and the same holds true for the very few accommodation options that exist between here and Roncesvalles. With so many newly minted pilgrims roaming the streets, it has an air of excitement mixed with apprehension and a touch of dread. The tradition remains and the small town is often saturated with pilgrims, and pilgrim related tourism, during most of the year. Saint Jean Pied de Port is the nexus of several Caminos de Santiago that spread out across mainland Europe, and it was from here (primarily but not exclusively) that pilgrims most frequently made the crossing into the Iberian peninsula. The Camino San Salvador in Castilla y León.The Camino Sanabrés in Sanabria and Galicia. ![]()

Spanish wine map4/29/2024 ![]() Today all you see is more blocks of flats – thankfully for the view they are all low rise. Initially we had an apartment on the Arenal, or beach area, and I well remember standing on the balcony and looking out at orange groves and vineyards as far as my eyes could see. ![]() ![]() Indeed my family have had a holiday home in the Xàbia, or Jávea, area of the Comunidad Valenciana since 1965, the year I was born and the year that I first went to Spain. I have family in Spain so visit rather a lot. Las Freses is perhaps half a kilometre round the terraced hill in the foreground, behind and to the left of the tree in the front and centre of the photograph you can just about make out the road that curves around to the crossroads. That mountain is the Montgó, you will note that we can see the sea between the land and the sky. The view from the family home, Casa Tranquilla – photo by Hilary Sadler, my brother. All that is changing of course, but anything that can help that is all to the good and the creation of new, quality focused estates even in unlikely corners of Spain can only help. ![]() In much of Spain from the 1940s onwards big production was the thing, so the cooperatives churned out huge volumes of palatable – by local standards – wine to slake the thirst of local workers with almost no regard to quality as we would understand it today. The classic examples of course are Enrique Basarte and Elisa Úcar’s Domaine Lupier in Navarra and Charlotte Allen’s Piritia in DO Arribes on the Western fringes of Castilla y León, but such micro-wineries can be found everywhere and they often give interesting impetus to regions that in the past have often been very over reliant on the local cooperatives. These projects are really thrilling and you can see them up and down the country, budding winemakers nurturing forgotten vineyards and coaxing them back to life – or sometimes planting them from scratch – and producing wonderfully expressive wines. One of the really lovely things that I have noticed in Spain in recent years is the way passionate people are training as winemakers, working in the industry for a while to gain experience and then buying or renting small parcels of vines in order to craft very personal wines. Albillo is making some stunning white wines in Castilla y León, while Merseguera is the white grape to watch in the Comunidad Valenciano, especially Alicante. Galicia, Rueda and Rioja all make world class white wines today, but so too do some much less well known areas like Terra Alta in Catalunya which produces blindingly good Garnacha Blanca / Garnatxa Blanc / Grenache Blanc. Torres led the way with modern whites in the 1960s and ’70s and today the white wines of Spain are amongst the most exciting of all. Look out for red wines from Valencia and Utiel Requena made from the Bobal grape and wines from Alicante and Jumilla made from Monastrell – aka Mourvédre and Mataro. Rioja has got better and better and high quality reds are now made in more and more unlikely places and the reds of the south are now at least as exciting as the more traditional regions of northern Spain. During my 34 years in the wine business the wine revolution has spread out throughout Spain and produced startlingly good results. Once upon a time only the reds were really good and even then only from one or two regions – principally Rioja of course. Over the years I have seen huge changes in Spanish wine. It certainly made me like wine, but I am not sure that is entirely the same thing. I am only in this business because of my misspent youth in Spain and the healthy relationship – I hope – that gave me to alcohol. ![]() I love wine from all around the world and am passionate about wines from everywhere and about the countries and regions that spawn them, but I always return to my first love – Spain. ![]()

Download potplayer 64 bit for windows 104/29/2024 ![]() ![]() It is almost the first one we recommend for users with a relatively modern PC to run without problems. POTPlayer is one of the most powerful video players we can have installed on our computers. In other words, if you have an old PC or one that is not very powerful, we recommend you look for another player, thus avoiding the cuts or freezing of the screen that could occur with this one. The worst thingĪlthough it is one of the best programs in its segment, the problem we encounter and the only major weakness we can mention about this service is that it requires a powerful computer to work as it should. Besides that, it allows you to play files while they are being loaded, and its configuration options are endless, ideal for those who love customization. If we had to mention the main positive aspects of this program, we would undoubtedly have to talk about its compatibility with most audio files, avoiding downloading codecs and other annoying procedures. However, with the recent work of its developers, this is almost completely solved. Apart from that, we found several reports that point out that certain sections are not translated from Korean to other languages. The user interface of this application we liked a lot, as it is simple and minimalist, emphasizing what matters in these cases is the content we are playing. POTPlayer is such a good player that many believe it is one of the few that is really in a position to be considered a direct rival of VLC, for many, the best program in this segment. You can also decide whether you want the playback to continue when the screen is locked or, if you prefer that, in that case, the process stops so that it does not go too far ahead when you are not watching the screen. If you have subtitle files, you can upload them to the system so that they can be played synchronized with the videos so that you will not be forced to watch the contents only in their original language. ![]() And if you want to make sure you don't lose sight of your favorite content, you only have to mark some of them as your favorite scenes or clips and then immediately access them. ![]() In addition to the above, POTPlayer supports 3D playback and many previously installed codecs, ensuring that we rarely postpone a playback to perform other tasks. It supports almost all standard video and audio formats, so as you can see, it is an all-rounder player. This is regardless of the size, quality, or format of each file you add to the playback queue.Īnd we highlight it because one of the main aspects that we must take into account when we select a player for the day-to-day is that it has support for most common video formats, which fortunately happens in this case. ![]() If you are downloading a movie on your computer and want to watch it as it downloads to save time, thanks to this software, you will be able to do it without any limitations.Īnother of the curiosities we liked about this player is that we can create playback queues for hundreds of files as long as we want, allowing us to keep our series wholly organized. This point differentiates it from other players, which cannot allow us to carry out this action. We will start by talking about its ability to play incomplete files. ![]()

Street art martin whatson4/28/2024 ![]() The artist will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served. Please join us Saturday, September 9th at 210 Rivington Street, New York, NY for the opening reception of Concrete Echoes from 6pm to 8pm. The title symbolizes the back and forth between street art and fine art, between inspiration and execution, hardness and softness Concrete Echoes furthers the conversations about ownership of the public space, creation versus destruction, and of the fragility of nature. Īs the birthplace of modern graffiti, New York City is the perfect place to host an exhibition like Concrete Echoes. It also speaks to the stratification of public art by combining somewhat the disparate schools of graffiti, street art, muralism, stencilism and wheatpasting, recontextualizing and presenting these scenes through a contemporary art lens. This application of art to a wall loosely references the artist's own public art practice while directly reflecting the work of many of his peers in the greater street art movement. In The Poster (pictured above) a male figure wheatpastes a graffiti covered poster to a barren grey wall. Not only does the artist visually combine the worlds of street art and graffiti harmoniously, but his work on the street and his work in the studio both serve to inform one another.Ī key element to Whatson's work stems from his interest in the human desire to leave one's mark on the world around them. Martin Whatson (b.1984) is a Norwegian street artist best known for his calligraphic scribbles in grayscale voids. You can see Whatsons work finishing the piece on each sides of the road. From there walk across the parking lot to Henrik Bulls vei. Immediately recognizable for his mixed media paintings featuring grey-scale stenciled subjects cohabiting space with layers of colorful graffiti, Whatson's work lives in a state of constant contrast. To get to the art simply take the bus or train to Jessheim station. This will be the artist's first solo presentation with the gallery.įrom his beginnings in Norway's nascent graffiti scene in the early '90s to his countless international large scale murals Martin Whatson is recognizable to appreciators of public art the world over. ![]() ![]() Harman Projects is pleased to present Concrete Echoes, a solo exhibition by Norwegian artist Martin Whatson. ![]()

Targus doesn’t provide tips for the iPad, either.įinally, the dock’s power supply currently doesn’t support 12-volt DC devices, such as some slates and tablets.
