MONASTERIO ROMÁNICO SAN SALVADOR DE LEYRE
El Monasterio de San Salvador de Leyre, es uno de los grupos monásticos más importantes de España por su relevancia histórica y arquitectónica. Entre los edificios que componen el conjunto existen ejemplares del románico muy destacados por pertenecer a un periodo muy temprano del mismo y por su excelente estado de conservación. Leyre fue fundado como un monasterio benedictino, aunque posteriormente pasó a estar en manos de monjes cistercienses. En la actualidad, el conjunto monástico pertenece a la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, que lo ha cedido a sus primitivos moradores, la orden benedictina, para su cuidado y funcionamiento.
.
En 1867 la iglesia de Leyre es declarada Monumento Nacional y en 1875 se reabre la iglesia de Leyre al culto. El 8 de mayo de 1915, finalizadas las obras, se trasladan los restos de los primeros reyes de Navarra a la iglesia de Leyre.

HISTORIA DEL MONASTERIO DE SAN PERE (PEDRO) DE RODES
El monasterio benedictino de San Pedro de Roda se halla en el término municipal del Puerto de la Selva en Gerona. Construido en la falda de la montaña de Verdera por debajo de las ruinas del castillo de San Salvador que le había dado protección. Cerca del monasterio están las ruinas del poblado medieval de la Santa Cruz de Roda, del que sólo queda en pie su iglesia de estilo prerrománico dedicada a Santa Elena. El monasterio goza de una vista excepcional sobre la bahía y del Puerto de la Selva.
Se desconoce el verdadero origen del monasterio, lo que dio lugar en el pasado a especulaciones y leyendas, como la de la fundación por monjes que desembarcaron en la zona con los restos de San Pedro y otros santos, que debían custodiar para no ser profanados por las hordas bárbaras que caían sobre Roma
En 1930 fue declarado monumento nacional, y en 1935 la Generalidad de Cataluña inicia las primeras restauraciones.
Monumentos del Camino de Santiago, los monasterios
A lo largo de la Ruta Jacobea el viajero se encuentra con un buen número de fundaciones monásticas, que fueron de vital importancia para los peregrinos que intentaban llegar a Santiago.
En tierras navarras encontramos el Monasterio de San Salvador de Leyre. La abadía alcanzaría su momento de esplendor con Sancho García el Mayor, quien lo ordenó reconstruir tras ser arrasado por Almanzor. De estilo románico son la cabecera de la iglesia y la cripta; el resto de la iglesia está construido en estilo gótico.
El Monasterio de Santa María la Real de Nájera es otro de los hitos de la ruta. Fue fundado en el siglo XI para cumplir las funciones de templo de advocación mariana, convento y panteón real. Alfonso VI entregó la fundación a la orden cluniacense. Estilísticamente, se trata de una elegante fábrica en la que combinan los estilos gótico y renacentista.
En la provincia de Burgos se halla uno de los monasterios más importantes del camino: el fundado por San Juan de Ortega para servir a los peregrinos que atravesaban los inhóspitos montes de Oca. La iglesia del monasterio es obra de mitad del siglo XII. En la cripta está enterrado el santo en un sencillo sepulcro. Del conjunto hospitalario se conserva un claustro cuadrado, realizado en torno a 1500.
Sahagún era la sede del monasterio cisterciense más importante del reino castellano. Bajo su dominio estaban la mayoría de los cenobios de la región. Por desgracia, hoy sólo quedan en pie algunos restos de este imponente edificio.
Por último, en tierras gallegas sobresale el monasterio de los Santos Julián y Basilisa, en la localidad de Samos. Su antiquísima historia se remonta al siglo VI, fecha de su fundación bajo la regla de San Fructuoso. Desde este momento, ejercerá su jurisdicción sobre más de doscientas villas y quinientos lugares, por lo que era considerado uno de los centros monásticos más importantes de la época. --

New Doctor of the Church: San Juan de Ávila
August 20, 2011. (Romereports.com) Benedict XVI officially declared San Juan de Avila a Doctor of the Church. The title is a recognition the Pope gives to certain saints considered great teachers of faith, whose teachings are still relevent regardless of time. Currently there are 33.
San Juan de Ávila, was born in the year 1500 in Almodóvar del Campo, near Toledo in Spain. He died in 1569. He's know as the Apostle of Andalusia, because he evangelized there for several years. He was a strong advocate of reforming the clergy and his texts influenced the Council of Trent.
He was a friend of St. John of the Cross and a spiritual advisor to St. Teresa of Avila. He's also known for being the patron of Spanish clergy. His feast day is May 10th.
Saint John of Avila, Apostle of Andalusia (6 January 1500, Almodóvar del Campo -- 10 May 1569, Montilla, Spain) was a Spanish apostolic preacher, author, mystic and saint, canonized in 1970. He is known in Spanish as San Juan de Ávila.
Saint John of Avila was of Jewish converso descent.[1] At the age of fourteen he was sent to the University of Salamanca to study law but returned after a year to his father's home, where he spent the next three years in the practice of austere piety. His sanctity impressed a Franciscan journeying through Almodóvar, on whose advice he took up the study of philosophy and theology at Alcalá, where he was fortunate to have as his teacher the famous Dominican Domingo de Soto. While he was a student his parents died and after his ordination he celebrated his first mass in the church where they were buried, sold the family property and gave the proceeds to the poor.
He saw in the severing of natural ties a vocation to foreign missionary work and prepared to go to Mexico. In 1527, while he was in Seville looking for a favorable opportunity to set out for his new field of labour, his unusually great devotion in celebrating mass attracted the attention of Hernando de Contreras, a priest of Seville, who mentioned him to the archbishop and Inquisitor General, Don Alonso Manrique de Lara. The archbishop saw in the young missionary a powerful instrument to stir up the faith in Andalusia, and after considerable persuasion Juan was induced to abandon his journey to America.
His first sermon was preached on 22 July 1529, and immediately established his reputation; crowds thereafter packed the churches at all his sermons. At Seville he was brought before the inquisitor and charged with exaggerating the dangers of wealth and closing the gates of heaven to the rich. His innocence of the charges was quickly proved, and by special invitation of the court he was appointed to preach the sermon on the next great feast in the church of San Salvador, in Seville. Like other Spanish mystics of the period, including La Beata de Piedrahita, he was suspected several times during his career of belonging to the Alumbrados, deemed a heretical sect.
He began his career as apostolic preacher of Andalusia, aged thirty. After nine years he returned to Seville, only to depart for the wider fields of Cordova, Granada, Baeza, Montilla and Zafra. For eighteen years before his death he was the victim of constant illness, the result of the hardships of his apostolate of forty years. He was declared Venerable by Pope Clement XIII on 8 February 1799 and beatified by Pope Leo XIII on 12 November 1893. In 1970 he was canonised by Pope Paul VI.
Among the disciples attracted by his preaching and saintly reputation were Saint Teresa of Ávila, Saint John of God, Saint Francis Borgia and the Venerable Louis of Granada.
Saint John of Avila's works were collected at Madrid in 1618, 1757, 1792 and 1805; a French translation by d'Andilly was published at Paris in 1673; and a German translation by Schermer in six volumes was issued at Regensburg between 1856 and 1881. His best-known works are the Audi Fili (English translation, 1620), one of the best tracts on Christian perfection, and his Spiritual Letters (English translation, 1631, reprinted London 1904) to his disciples.
John of Avila as of 2011 is under consideration for being declared a Doctor of the Church

SUMMARY
=======
Galicia (; Galician: Galicia [ɡaˈliθja], Galiza [ɡaˈliθa]; Spanish: Galicia; Portuguese: Galiza) is an autonomous community of Spain and historic nationality under Spanish law. Located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, it comprises the provinces of A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra, being bordered by Portugal (Braga District, Bragança District, Viana do Castelo District and Vila Real District) to the south, the Spanish autonomous communities of Castile and León and Asturias to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Cantabrian Sea to the north. It had a population of 2,718,525 in 2016 and has a total area of 29,574 km2 (11,419 sq mi). Galicia has over 1,660 km (1,030 mi) of coastline, including its offshore islands and islets, among them Cíes Islands, Ons, Sálvora, Cortegada, and—the largest and most populated—A Illa de Arousa.
The area now called Galicia was first inhabited by humans during the Middle Paleolithic period, and it takes its name from the Gallaeci, the Celtic people living north of the Douro River during the last millennium BC, in a region largely coincidental with that of the Iron Age local Castro culture. Galicia was incorporated into the Roman Empire at the end of the Cantabrian Wars in 19 BC, and was made a Roman province in the 3rd century AD. In 410, the Germanic Suebi established a kingdom with its capital in Braga (Portugal); this kingdom was incorporated into that of the Visigoths in 585. In 711, the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate invaded the Iberian Peninsula conquering the Visigoth kingdom of Hispania by 718, but soon Galicia was incorporated into the Christian kingdom of Asturias by 740. During the Middle Ages, the kingdom of Galicia was occasionally ruled by its own kings, but most of the time it was leagued to the kingdom of Leon and later to that of Castile, while maintaining its own legal and customary practices and culture. From the 13th century on, the kings of Castile, as kings of Galicia, appointed an Adiantado-mór, whose attributions passed to the Governor and Captain General of the Kingdom of Galiza from the last years of the 15th century. The Governor also presided the Real Audiencia do Reino de Galicia, a royal tribunal and government body. From the 16th century, the representation and voice of the kingdom was held by an assembly of deputies and representatives of the cities of the kingdom, the Cortes or Junta of the Kingdom of Galicia. This institution was forcibly discontinued in 1833 when the kingdom was divided into four administrative provinces with no legal mutual links. During the 19th and 20th centuries, demand grew for self-government and for the recognition of the culture of Galicia. This resulted in the Statute of Autonomy of 1936, soon frustrated by Franco's coup d'etat and subsequent long dictatorship. After democracy was restored the legislature passed the Statute of Autonomy of 1981, approved in referendum and currently in force, providing Galicia with self-government.
The interior of Galicia is characterized by a hilly landscape; mountain ranges rise to 2,000 m (6,600 ft) in the east and south. The coastal areas are mostly an alternate series of rías and cliffs. The climate of Galicia is usually temperate and rainy, with markedly drier summers; it is usually classified as Oceanic. Its topographic and climatic conditions have made animal husbandry and farming the primary source of Galicia's wealth for most of its history, allowing for a relative high density of population. With the exception of shipbuilding and food processing, Galicia was based on a farming and fishing economy until after the mid-20th century, when it began to industrialize. In 2012, the gross domestic product at purchasing power parity was €56,000 million, with a nominal GDP per capita of €20,700. The population is largely concentrated in two main areas: from Ferrol to A Coruña in the northern coast, and ...

The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana Spanish pronunciation: [reˈpuβliˌka ðoˌminiˈkana]) is a country located in the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean region. It occupies the eastern five-eighths of the island, which it shares with the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two sovereign states. The Dominican Republic is the second-largest Caribbean nation by area (after Cuba) at 48,671 square kilometers (18,792 sq mi), and third by population with approximately 10 million people, of which approximately three million live in the metropolitan area of Santo Domingo, the capital city.Christopher Columbus landed on the island on December 5, 1492, which the native Taíno people had inhabited since the 7th century. The colony of Santo Domingo became the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, the oldest continuously inhabited city, and the first seat of the Spanish colonial rule in the New World. After more than three hundred years of Spanish rule the Dominican people declared independence in November 1821. The leader of the independence movement José Núñez de Cáceres, intended the Dominican nation to unite with the country of Gran Colombia, but no longer under Spain's custody the newly independent Dominicans were forcefully annexed by Haiti in February 1822. Independence came 22 years later after victory in the Dominican War of Independence in 1844. Over the next 72 years the Dominican Republic experienced mostly internal conflicts and a brief return to colonial status before permanently ousting Spanish rule during the Dominican War of Restoration of 1863–1865. A United States occupation lasted eight years between 1916 and 1924, and a subsequent calm and prosperous six-year period under Horacio Vásquez was followed by the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo until 1961. A civil war in 1965, the country's last, was ended by U.S. military occupation and was followed by the authoritarian rule of Joaquín Balaguer (1966–1978 & 1986–1996), the rules of Antonio Guzmán (1972–1978) & Salvador Jorge Blanco (1982–1986). Since 1996, the Dominican Republic has moved toward representative democracy and has been led by Leonel Fernández for most of the time since 1996. Danilo Medina, the Dominican Republic's current president, succeeded Fernandez in 2012, winning 51% of the electoral vote over his opponent ex-president Hipólito Mejía.The Dominican Republic has the ninth-largest economy in Latin America and is the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central American region. Over the last two decades, the Dominican Republic has had one of the fastest-growing economies in the Americas – with an average real GDP growth rate of 5.4% between 1992 and 2014. GDP growth in 2014 and 2015 reached 7.3 and 7.0%, respectively, the highest in the Western Hemisphere. In the first half of 2016 the Dominican economy grew 7.4% continuing its trend of rapid economic growth. Recent growth has been driven by construction, manufacturing, tourism, and mining. The country is the site of the second largest gold mine in the world, the Pueblo Viejo mine. Private consumption has been strong, as a result of low inflation (under 1% on average in 2015), job creation, as well as a high level of remittances.
The Dominican Republic is the most visited destination in the Caribbean. The year-round golf courses are major attractions. A geographically diverse nation, the Dominican Republic is home to both the Caribbean's tallest mountain peak, Pico Duarte, and the Caribbean's largest lake and point of lowest elevation, Lake Enriquillo. The island has an average temperature of 26 °C (78.8 °F) and great climatic and biological diversity. The country is also the site of the first cathedral, castle, monastery, and fortress built in the Americas, located in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, a World Heritage Site. ...
