Places to see in ( Alicante - Spain ) Basilica de Santa Maria
The Arciprestal and Insigne Basilica minor of Santa Maria or Arciprestal Church of Our Lady of the Assumption , is located the place of the Eucharistic Congress of the city of Elche ( Valencian Community , Spain ) and constructed in baroque style between 1672 and 1784 and in her participated several architects among whom was the Castilian Jaime Bort and Meliá , author of the baroque façade of the cathedral of Murcia .
The works began in 1672 under the direction of Francisco Verde , succeeding him Pedro Quintana and Ferrán Fouquet . It is a good example of Spanish Baroque. This building presents different architectural styles, from the Italianate baroque of the main front, the rococo of the other fronts and the girola, the neoclassic of the interior, to the medieval reminiscences.
In the Middle Ages was the Muslim mosque in this site that at that time was one of the ends of the old Vila Murada . When the king James I of Aragon conquered the city in 1265 , it consecrated the mosque under the invocation of Santa Maria. On its ruins was constructed a first Christian temple of Gothic style that was demolished and for the third time the present one was constructed.
This church has the great tradition of celebrating in it the Misteri d'Elx (Misterio de Elche) choral work in ancient Valencian that is represented during the days 14 and 15 of August of each year by virtue of a papal bull granted by His Holiness the Pope Urban VIII .
On February 20, before the civil war was partially destroyed, being restored years later by the architect Antonio Serrano Peral . In the fire that suffered at the hands of republicans in February 1936 the original image of the Virgin of the Assumption disappeared, under whose dedication the temple is consecrated, and later replaced by a new one, the work of the Valencian sculptor José Capuz . Although the legend tells that a group of religious could hide the image of Our Lady so that it was not destroyed. This version of the facts loses credibility when the original image has not yet been found.

Bullfight, San Fermín, Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, Europe
Spanish-style bullfighting is called a corrida de toros, tauromaquía or fiesta brava and is practiced in Spain and Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, as well as in Southern France. In traditional corrida, three toreros, also called matadores or, in French, toréadors, each fight two out of a total of six fighting bulls, each of which is at least four years old and weighs up to about 600 kg or 1,300 lb (with a minimum weight limit of 460 kg or 1,010 lb for the bullrings of the first degree). Bullfighting season in Spain runs from March to October. Each matador has six assistants two picadores (lancers) mounted on horseback, three banderilleros (flagmen), and a mozo de espada (sword servant). Collectively they comprise a cuadrilla or team of bullfighters. The crew also includes an ayuda (aide to sword servant) and subalternos (subordinates) including at least two peones (pages, singular peón). The modern corrida is highly ritualized, with three distinct parts or tercios, the start of each of which is announced by a trumpet sound. The participants first enter the arena in a parade or paseíllo to salute the presiding dignitary; presidente, accompanied by band music. (The corrida happens to the tune of live-played Pasodobles, many of which were composed to honour famous toreros.) The ritual is a key factor, for example the oldest matador goes to the far left, while the newest will be placed in the middle. If a matador is new to the Plaza, he will do the paseíllo without his hat on. Torero costumes are inspired by 18th century Andalusian clothing. Matadores are easily distinguished by their spectacular and quite costly suit of lights (traje de luces), custom-made and embroidered with silver or golden thread. Next, the bull enters the ring to be tested for ferocity by the matador and banderilleros with the magenta and gold capote, or dress cape. Bulls are raised on the open range by specialist breeding estates called ganaderías. The bull enters the arena with a rosette on its back bearing the colours of the estate of its origin. Bullfighting is normally fatal for the bull, and it is dangerous for the matador. Picadors and banderilleros are sometimes gored, but this is not common. They are paid less because their job takes less skill and less courage. The suertes with the capote are risky, but it is the faena, in particular the estocada, that is the most dangerous. A matador of classical (Manolete) style is trained to divert the bull with the muleta but to come close to the right horn as he makes the fatal sword-thrust between the scapulae and through the aorta. At this moment, the danger to the matador is the greatest. Some matadors have been gored many times. A special type of surgeon has developed, in Spain and elsewhere, to treat cornadas, or horn-wounds. The bullring normally has an infirmary with an operating room, reserved for the immediate treatment of matadors with cornadas. The bullring has a chapel where a matador can pray before the corrida and where a priest can be found in case an emergency sacrament of extreme unction (also known as Anointing of the Sick or Last Rites) is needed. Bullfighting is criticized by many animal rights activists, who claim it is a cruel or barbarous blood sport, in which the bull suffers severe stress and a slow, torturous death. A number of animal rights or animal welfare activist groups such as Antitauromaquia and StopOurShame undertake anti-bullfighting actions in Spain and other countries. Others, such as author Alexander Fiske-Harrison who trained as a bullfighter to research for a book on the subject, have argued that there are mitigating circumstances to this: In terms of animal welfare, the fighting bull lives four to six years whereas the meat cow lives one to two. What is more, it doesn't just live in the sense of existing, it lives a full and natural life. Those years are spent free, roaming in the dehesa, the lightly wooded natural pastureland which is the residue of the ancient forests of Spain. It is a rural idyll, although with the modern additions of full veterinary care and an absence of predators big enough to threaten evolution's answer to a main battle tank. Other arguments include those to the effect that the death of animals in slaughterhouses is often very worse than the death in the ring, and that both types of animal die for entertainment since humans do not need to consume meat, eating it instead for taste (bulls enter the food chain after the bullfight). In the final stage, the tercio de muerte (death third), the matador re-enters the ring alone with a small red cape or muleta in one hand and a sword in the other.
