It is funny, in my hometown Aleppo where our farmhouse is, the land where all the villas are parted is called: Andalucian Gardens, since the time we bought the farmhouse and I ask myself, why they called it so!and today after visiting the real fantastic Andalucian Garden, I can understand a reason for this nice try to emitate the wonderful Gardens of Andalucia ;-D
Now this is for sure the second most important thing to do after visiting the Cathedral in Sevilla, Alcazar from Arbic word: Al Kaser, which means the Palace, is the evidence of a wealthy and mighty once existing glourious civilization which created the Andalucia perfection charm!
Of course it is the symbol of the city of Sevilla, the Cathedral here is one of the most beautiful world Cathedrals even.From the Cathedral to the reales Alcazares:1-Archbishop's palace2-Convent of La Encarnacion3-Cathedral, Giralda and Patio de los naranjos4-Exchange - Archive of the Indies5-reales Alcazares
Well the railwayman he cut the cardsand he dealt them each a hand of fiveAnd for the Lord he was praying hardFor that train he'd have to drive...Well the Devil he had three aces and a kingAnd the Lord he was running for a straightHe had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spadesAll he needed was the eightAnd then the Lord he called for one more cardBut he drew the diamond eightAnd the Devil said to the son of GodI believe you've got it straightSo deal me one for the time has comeTo see who'll be the king of this placeBut as he spoke from beneath his cloakHe slipped another aceTen thousand souls was the opening bidAnd it soon went up to fifty-nineBut the Lord didn't see what the Devil didand he said that suits me fineI'll raise you high to hundred and fiveAnd forever put an end to your sinsBut the Devil let out a mighty shout, My hand winsAnd I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him...
There's a Spanish train that runs betweenQuadalquivir and old SevilleAnd at dead of night the whistle blowsAnd people fear she's running still...And then they hush their children back to sleepLock the doors, upstairs they creepFor it is said that the souls of the deadFill that train ten thousand deep!!Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his sideHis family were crying, knelt in prayer before he diedBut above his head just awaiting for the deadWas the Devil with a twinkle in his eyeWell God's not around and look what I've foundthis one's mineJust then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of lightAnd shouted at the devil Get thee hence to endless nightBut the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinnedBut there's no need to push me around,I got him first so you can do your worstHe's going undergroundBut I think I'll give you one more chanceSaid the Devil with a smileSo...
Rhonda sits on a high cliff with spectacular vistas in all directions. The Gorge side is truly something to behold. Just wander around the town, allow yourself to get lost amounts the steep, narrow streets that wind down at a dizzying rate. I saw a local mother simultaneously smacking her school age son while zooming up the most twisted, steep street I've ever seen. One can only wonder at the local traffic accidents. Because of this you are best to leave your car parked near the train station and walk towards the old part of town and the Gorge. There are plenty of Icon signs and tourist maps set around town to assist you. The architecture is delightful: Old stone fountains, fanciful churches, and plazas of every variety from large and formal to quiet and secluded. The gardens along the gorge path are lovely. Rhonda is a photographers dream with spectacular views almost anywhere you point...
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain,with a lot of nice and interesting places to see.Don't miss a visit to the new SCIENCE CITY,located just outside of the city,and of course a visit to Valencia's Old Town!.
This is a view at Cathedral of Leon,it is located at Castilla-Leon region.Around you can visit a lot of nice and beautiful cities as:Salamanca,Avila,Segovia,Burgos,also this region it is full of beautiful medieval castles and lovely architecture this is the reason that is one of my favorites region in my country.Also I got some relatives living at Valladolid,Castilla and Leon capital,and I visit the region very often.
Now this is the fame itself of Madrid, the popular festival Arena for the Bullfights, well I think we shall respect this culture, it is really the special thing of Spain, it is very spectacular show, when a brave man the Matador, redeculise the danger mad bull and win the battle in the end, it is something left from Roman ancient empire shows and tradition, but in a Spanish taste and spirit, this is a place I left for the last, as I kept the best for the end!Oleeee Madrid ;-D
Puerta del Sol is full of great monuments, houses and lovely buildings to visit, so make sure not to miss it as well once you're in Madrid, it is another start point to do the visit like the Plaza Mayor one!
