Travel Spain - Visiting Las Medulas in Leon
Take a tour of Las Médulas in Leon, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Large, jagged, red rocks jut up through the green carpeting of the hills in the province of Leon, Spain.
These formations, appearing like the shattered foundations of some monumental ruin of a building, mark the site of Las Medulas.
This amazing part of the world was once an important part of the Romans' gold mining operations.
The method that the Romans used to extract the gold was remarkable; they actually carved through the mountains with water.
By diverting water channels and using massive aqueducts, they forcibly eroded the stone, exposing veins of gold, and then harvested the gold from the water.
The wonder of Las Medulas comes from the rugged beauty of the land, combined with the awe of Roman ingenuity and power.

Tourism in Burgos, Castilla y León - Travel in Spain
A trip in Burgos, Spain.
EN = Burgos is a city in northern Spain and the historic capital of Castile. It is situated on the confluence of the Arlanzón river tributaries, at the edge of the Iberian central plateau. It has about 180,000 inhabitants in the actual city and another 20,000 in the metropolitan area. It is the capital of the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Burgos was once the capital of the Crown of Castile, and the Burgos Laws or Leyes de Burgos which first governed the behaviour of Spaniards towards the natives of the Americas were promulgated here in 1512.
ES = Burgos es un municipio y una ciudad españoles situados en el norte de la península ibérica. La ciudad es la capital de la provincia homónima integrada en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. El municipio contaba con una población empadronada de 177 100 habitantes en el 2015, repartidos en una superficie de 107,06 km², convirtiéndose en el 35.º más poblado de España y el segundo de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León.
Existen pruebas de asentamientos durante el Neolítico y la primera Edad del Hierro en el cerro del Castillo, el cual domina la ciudad. Sin embargo, se considera que la ciudad fue fundada como tal por el conde Diego Rodríguez Porcelos en el año 884. Hacia el año 930 se convirtió en capital del condado de Castilla, primero dependiente del reino de León e independiente después por actuación del conde Fernán González. Fue la capital del reino de Castilla, y de manera intermitente de la Corona de Castilla, desde 1230 hasta el reinado de los Reyes Católicos. Estos dictaron en la ciudad en 1512 las Leyes de Burgos, las primeras leyes que la Monarquía Hispánica aplicó en América para organizar su conquista, base de los actuales derechos humanos. Posteriormente fue la capital de la antigua región histórica de Castilla la Vieja, y también fue la primera capital provisional de la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León.

Spain (Spanish: España), officially the Kingdom of Spain, is a country mostly located on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. Its territory also includes two archipelagoes: the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, and the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla make Spain the only European country to have a physical border with an African country (Morocco). Several small islands in the Alboran Sea are also part of Spanish territory. The country's mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
With an area of 505,990 km2 (195,360 sq mi), Spain is the largest country in Southern Europe, the second largest country in Western Europe and the European Union, and the fourth largest country in the European continent. By population, Spain is the sixth largest in Europe and the fifth in the European Union. Spain's capital and largest city is Madrid; other major urban areas include Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Málaga and Bilbao.
Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 35,000 years ago. Iberian cultures along with ancient Phoenician, Greek, Celtic and Carthaginian settlements developed on the peninsula until it came under Roman rule around 200 BCE, after which the region was named Hispania, based on the earlier Phoenician name Sp(a)n or Spania. At the end of the Western Roman Empire the Germanic tribal confederations migrated from Central Europe, invaded the Iberian peninsula and established relatively independent realms in its western provinces, including the Suebi, Alans and Vandals. Eventually, the Visigoths would forcibly integrate all remaining independent territories in the peninsula, including Byzantine provinces, into the Kingdom of Toledo, which more or less unified politically, ecclesiastically and legally all the former Roman provinces or successor kingdoms of what was then documented as Hispania.
In the early eighth century the Visigothic Kingdom fell to the Moors, who arrived to rule most of the peninsula in the year 726, leaving only a handful of small Christian realms in the north, lasting up to seven centuries in the Kingdom of Granada. This led to many wars during a long reconquering period across the Iberian Peninsula, which led to the creation of Kingdom of Leon, Kingdom of Castille, Kingdom of Aragon and Kingdom of Navarre as the main Christian kingdoms to face the invasion. Following the Moorish conquest, Europeans began a gradual process of retaking the region known as the Reconquista, which by the late 15th century culminated in the emergence of Spain as a unified country under the Catholic Monarchs.
In the early modern period, Spain became the world's first global empire and the most powerful country in the world, leaving a large cultural and linguistic legacy that includes +570 million Hispanophones, making Spanish the world's second-most spoken native language, after Mandarin Chinese. During the Golden Age there were also many advancements in the arts, with world-famous painters such as Diego Velázquez. The most famous Spanish literary work, Don Quixote, was also published during the Golden Age. Spain hosts the world's third-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Spain is a secular parliamentary democracy and a parliamentary monarchy, with King Felipe VI as head of state. It is a major developed country and a high income country, with the world's fourteenth largest economy by nominal GDP and sixteenth largest by purchasing power parity.
In 2017, Spain was the second most visited country in the world, recording 82 million tourists which marked the fifth consecutive year of record-beating numbers.
Spain’s geographic location, popular coastlines, diverse landscapes, historical legacy, vibrant culture, and excellent infrastructure has made the country’s international tourist industry among the largest in the world. In the last five decades, international tourism in Spain has grown to become the second largest in the world in terms of spending, worth approximately 40 billion Euros or about 5% of GDP in 2006.
Castile and Leon is the Spanish leader in rural tourism linked to its environmental and architectural heritage.

Travel Spain - Exploring the Hermitage of El Rocio
Take a tour of Hermitage of El Rocio in El Rocio, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the quiet village of El Rocio in Andalusia Spain is a newly constructed hermitage built on a sacred location.
The area was deemed an official hermitage site around 1270 by King Alfonso the Wise in honor of the Virgin Mary.
The elaborate cross topping this pristine structure comes from the 17th century and previously belonged to the revered Barrio Santacruz.
The gleaming white structure was constructed in the mid 20th century by two Spanish architects over two decades.
Millions of pilgrims flock to the hermitage on the second day of the Pentecost, a seven week celebration after Easter Sunday.
Most people come from far away to celebrate El Rocio and camp among the crowded streets.
When the annual pilgrimage occurs, the city comes to life with magnificent, ethereal decorations, singing, and dancing.
Burgos is the capital of the province of Burgos of the Autonomous Community of Castile-Leon (Castilla y León).
Sights: the cathedral, with its chapel of the Condestables de Castilla, the monastery of Las Huelgas and the Charterhouse of Miraflores.
