Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Saelices

Saelices is a Spanish municipality in the province of Cuenca , in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha , south of which is, along the Cigüela River , the well-known Segóbriga Archaeological Park .

The origin of the name of Saelices probably comes from the Latin Ecclesia Sancti Felicis (church of San Felix), from where it would derive to Sanfelices , Sahelices and finally Saelices , its current name.

Although there are no certain data, the foundation of Saelices can be established in the repopulation after the Reconquest , carried out by the Order of Santiago in the lands of the Priorato de Uclés , to which it belonged in the Middle Ages . The proximity of the spring called Fuente Lamar , from where the aqueduct that supplied water to the Roman city of Segóbriga , abandoned after the Muslim invasion , was the probable reason that led to found the new population of Saelices instead of repopulate Segóbriga.

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Castillo de Oropesa

The Castle of Oropesa or Castillo Viejo or Castillo de los Álvarez de Toledo is a castle located in the municipality of Oropesa , in the province of Toledo , Spain . It forms a group with the so-called New Palace or Palace of the Álvarez de Toledo and is occupied by a National Tourism Parador .

The Oropesa Castle dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and was built by the Arabs probably on a previous Roman construction . The first certain notes about this castle date back to the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio , in the thirteenth century.

The town of Oropesa and its castle were ceded in 1355 to García Álvarez de Toledo , who was master of the Order of Santiago , for having renounced the master of the Order of Santiago in favor of a faithful follower of Enrique II de Trastámara . With this he also acquired the manor of Oropesa and Valdecorneja , plus five villages and seven villages that form the so-called Campana de Oropesa , today co-owners of extensive dehesones that reach the Guadyerbas River .

In 1402 this branch of the lineage of the Álvarez de Toledo built the Palacio Nuevo or Palacio de los Álvarez de Toledo which, from 1475, was the center of power of Oropesa County . Oropesa occupied a place of importance in the kingdom added to the important buildings of churches, convents and schools that were built around him with the money of this family behind, monuments that are still preserved.

The building suffered several wars historically linked to events of utmost importance. One of them was when its owners put themselves in favor of Juana la Beltraneja in the struggle to obtain the throne and, therefore, against her aunt, Isabel la Católica , turning this company into a bloody civil war.

The Castillo de Oropesa is located on a hill , between holm oak forests , on the northern edge of the town of Oropesa, which is located at the western end of the region of Castilla - La Mancha . The building is one of the most beautiful castles in the entire region. The so-called Oropesa Castle is actually formed by two linked buildings: the Old Castle and the New Palace.

The Old Castle, also called Castillo de los Álvarez de Toledo, was built by the Arabs between the 12th and 13th centuries on a building of Roman origin. Its plant is rectangular and has four circular towers in the corners, of which only two remain today, and a probable antemuro with four cubillos that borders the village itself.

20160619 161742 poverty near a Catholic Church in Guadalajara (c)2016MSS-S5

We visited this Church: Santa Maria de Guadalupe, in Guadalajara which was not in too good a shape, but outside, there was a family living under tarps, newspapers, and washing clothes in buckets, as you can see in the video. It's a pity that people should live like this, but the economy is very bad in Mexico-- yet everyone tries to make a living selling whatever they can. This woman, came up to us and sold us some very old, dusty prayer cards, which she probably collected over the years.

A Pedro Divino- FRANCISCO RUEDA~ Mexican Baroque/Galant Music (Guadalajara, S. XVIII)

A Pedro Divino de FRANCISCO RUEDA (fl. 1745-1769), proveniente del Archivo de la Música de la Catedral de Guadalajara.

En las actas capitulares de la Catedral, en el siglo XVIII, hay una mención en la que se estipula: “que se pague a los líricos que vinieron a cantar”. Al referirse a los líricos, en este contexto, se refería a los cantantes del Coliseo de Comedias, quien con otra forma de cantar mas escénica, mas teatral y otro tipo de voz, de vez en cuando eran contratados para que interpretaran algunas chanzonetas, tonadillas o coplas en los festejos no canónicos del cabildo, como los aniversarios, las dotaciones y otro tipo de fiestas. En el archivo de música existe música de minuetes, tonadas, por ejemplo de Luis Misón, compositor de la corte de comedias y óperas: así mismo, hay una sección dedicada a la música recreativa que tanto los infantes de coro como los músicos y cantores cultivaban de forma no obligada esporádicamente. Ha habido entre los maestros del Coro de Infantes, gente de teatro (gente de “lira” o lírica) como Francisco Rueda, contratado para el Coliseo de México en 1742, ejecutante de violín, trompa d’ cacica junto con su esposa, Petronila Ordóñez, cantante lírica y actriz, violinista y guitarrista: este maestro, lo fue aquí de Capilla y murió en 1769.

Francisco Rueda, músico de comedias, se trasladó al territorio de la Nueva España y en el camino sufrió una tragedia en la que murieron varias de las personas que lo acompañaban. Rueda no es un músico preparado para tocar en un templo y, sin embargo, entra como maestro de capilla.

SANTIAGO DE TEQUILA | DCHIC TV TRAVEL

Santiago de Tequila (Spanish About this sound [teˈkila] ; Nahuatl: Tequillan, Tecuila place of tribute) is a town and municipality located in the state of Jalisco about 60 km from the city of Guadalajara.

Tequila is best known as being the birthplace of the drink that bears its name, “tequila,” which is made from the blue agave plant, native to this area. The heart of the plant contains sugars and had been used by native peoples here to make a fermented drink. After the Spanish arrived, they took this fermented beverage and distilled it, producing the tequila known today. The popularity of the drink and the history behind it has made the town and the area surrounding it a World Heritage Site.

It was also named a Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) in 2003 by the Mexican federal government.

The coat of arms of the municipality was officially adopted on 31 December 1983 by the municipal council. It contains the Latin phrase ALMA LAETA NOBILIS, meaning “cheerful and noble soul.” Its representative symbols include the tower of the main church in the town of Tequila, the chimneys of the distilleries, the agave plant and Tequila Mountain.

By the author...

Spain is one great open-air museum containing the cultural wealth of the most varied epochs and peoples. On the walls of the Altamari cave is blazoned that much admired steer painted thousands of years ago by men of the Ice Age. In Barcelona stand the fantastic buildings of neo-Castilian present-day art. Celts, Iberians, Romans, Carthaginians, Moors and Goths have fought and struggled for supremacy in Spain. Of all this the stones tell us to-day. They are the chronicles. They relate of bitter strife of the culture and art aspirations belonging to times gone by. Much has vanished into dust and ruin. That which has survived time's fretting tooth serves as a bridge to lead us back to the past.

Fate was kind enough to let me spend five years in Spain. Caught there by the war while engaged in studies, I was cut off from home. l made use of my involuntary stay to become acquainted with the country in its furthermost corners. I roved to and fro from the pinnacles of the Pyrenees to the shores of Tarifa, from the palm forest of Elche to the forgotten Hurdes inhabitants of Estremadura.

On all my lonely wanderings I was accompanied by my faithful camera: we covered over 45000 kilometres together in Spain. We kept our eyes open diligently. I say we, for in addition to mine was a precious glass eye in the shape of the Zeiss lens. Whereas my eyes only made me the intellectual recipient of what we saw, that of my travelling companion made it a pictorial permanency. I took over 2000 photographs during our peregrinations. This volume only presents a small selection. It was not easy to make the final choice. Many a picture had to be omitted to which I was attached, either for its peculiarity or its character.


There are captions for all the photographs in five languages; English, Spanish, Italian, German, French.
