Highlights of Castile: Toledo and Salamanca
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | We roam the region of Castile, starting in Toledo — so well-preserved and packed with cultural wonder that the entire city has been declared a national monument, on to Segovia for a festive day out with the locals, then to Ávila for a dose of medieval architecture, finishing with a traditional stroll in Salamanca's Plaza Mayor.

Holy Week in Salamanca
Holy Week in Salamanca (Semana Santa de Salamanca) is the most important religious event of Salamanca, Spain. It is celebrated in the week leading up to Easter (Holy Week among Christians). The Vera Cruz cofradía walks in complete silence on its procession in Monday of Holy Week. I want to thank my good friendMatias Cuesta Perez for allowing us into the Capilla de la Santa Cruz and the Vera Cruz cofradía it was amazing experience what an honor to be there

PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA
CORPORATE VIDEO PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY OF SALAMACNA
In Spain with St. John of the Cross
Travel through Spain where St. John of the Cross lived out his life more than 400 years ago.
* Visit Fontiveros where he was born
* Medina del Campo where he grew up
* The old university of Salamanca where he studied as a young Carmelite
* Duruelo, the site of the first house of the Discalced Carmelite Friars
*Avila of St. Teresa
*Toledo, where he was imprisoned
* El Calvario and Beas de Segura in Andalucia where he lived after he escaped from prison
* Baeza (and Ubeda) during Holy Week processions that capture something of the atmosphere of those long-ago times when St. John lived there
* Granada, where his monastery was next to the Alhambra
* Segovia and the cliffs where he liked to pray
* Ubeda where he died
But throughout this pilgrimage the glimpse of St. John that we are most looking for is one of the divine union that burned in his heart and about which he sang.

The origins of the use of the costume are unclear, the contemporary white gown with a cone hat follows the Spanish Roman Catholic Nazareno tradition. Such garments have been traditionally used in festivities such as Holy Week, symbolizing the act of penance. In Spain and its former colonies, the pointed hat is called Capirote.

Pilgrimage to Spain following the footsteps of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross
April 11-19, 2012 pilgrimage to Spain with Secular Discalced Carmelites from the United States. In association with The Order of Discalced Carmelites Secular, Washington & Mid-West Provinces. Fr. John Grennon OCD, Provincial Delegate; Spiritual Director and Chaplain
Following in the footsteps of our holy founders of the Teresian reform, Teresa of Jesus and John of the Cross. Toledo, Avila, Fontiveros, Medina del Campo, Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, Segovia, Madrid. A couple of chance encounters with O.Carm and OCD nuns and friars were a delightful surprise! It is not often that all three segments of the Carmelite family are together--friars, nuns and seculars. Opening sequence in Toledo Cathedral features Mozarabic Rite chant of Lauds before Mass--another unexpected gem found in this experience. Of all the Spanish treasures, this is the most valuable:
Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices. Teresa of Jesus
Guided Tour in Barrio de la Latina, Madrid - Spain 4k Travel Channel
Barrio de La Latina, the name of the neighborhood in the center of Madrid goes back to Beatriz Galindo. Born in Salamanca, she was a writer, teacher, humanist and also interested in physics and mathematics. Beatriz Galindo was one of the most educated women at her time. In addition, she was very charitable, what she could afford due to her wealth.
After she taught Queen Isabella of Castile and her children in Latin, she was nicknamed La Latina. She was one of the first women who was active in public life already during the Renaissance. Beatriz founded schools and hospitals in Spain, among others the Hospital of the Holy Cross (Santa Cruz de Madrid) in 1506. This justified her charitable reputation and the neighborhood where she once lived was named after her.
La Latina is one of the oldest section of Madrid, with narrow streets and large squares. Here you find the perfect combination between tradition and modernity, a neighborhood that has something to offer for everyone.
The tour with our guide Verónica Walde starts at Teatro Real. The theater was opened in 1850 by Isabella II and soon became one the most important stages of Europe. During our visit, a huge screen and big speaker towers had been installed on the balcony of the west facade. Everyone could listen and watch parts of the opera program. The acoustic quality was excellent.
On the opposite side is the Palacio Real de Madrid - the Royal Palace. Verónica gives us a short historical overview of Madrid.
Until the 18th century an Alcazar, a Moorish castle castle, stood on the place of the present palace. It was destroyed by a fire in 1734. After the War of the Spanish Succession, the Bourbons came to the power. Philip V now wanted to have a palace coequal to the Escorial palace of the Habsburgs. He commissioned Juan Bautista Sacchetti and Francisco de Sabatini with the construction. But it was King Charles III who first moved into the building in 1764.
Laterally next to the castle is the Almudena Cathedral (Santa María la Real de La Almudena) and in between the Plaza de la Armeria.

Barrio de La Latina, der Name geht auf Beatriz Galindo zurück. Sie wurde in Salamanca geboren, war Schriftstellerin, Lehrerin, Humanistin, interessierte sich auch für Physik und Mathematik und galt als eine der gebildetsten Frauen der damaligen Zeit. Darüber hinaus war sie sehr wohltätig, was sie sich auf Grund ihres Reichtums auch leisten konnte.
Nachdem sie Königin Isabella von Kastilien und ihre Kinder in Latein unterrichtete, erhielt sie schnell den Spitznamen La Latina. Sie war eine der ersten Frauen die sich bereits in der Renaissance aktiv am öffentlichen Leben beteiligte. Sie gründete Schulen und Krankenhäuser in Spanien, unter anderem 1506 das Krankenhaus des Heiligen Kreuzes (Santa Cruz de Madrid). So begründete sich ihr wohltätiger Ruf und das Viertel, in dem sie damals lebte, wurde nach ihr benannt.
La Latina ist eines der ältesten Viertel von Madrid mit engen Gassen und breiten Plätzen. Hier findet man die perfekte Kombination zwischen Tradition und Moderne, ein Viertel, dass für jeden etwas zu bieten hat.
Die Tour mit unserer Führerin Verónica Walde beginnt beim Teatro Real. Das Theater wurde 1850 von Isabella II eröffnet wurde und zählte bald zu den bedeutendsten Bühnen Europas. Während unseres Besuchs sind auf dem Balkon der Westfassade eine Leinwand und große Lautsprechertürme aufgebaut. Jeder der Lust hat kann sich Teile von Opernprogrammen ansehen und anhören. Die akustische Qualität ist hervorragend.
Beim gegenüber liegenden Palacio Real de Madrid, dem Königsschloss gibt uns Verónica einen kurzen historischen Überblick über Madrid.
Bis zum 18. Jahrhundert stand an der Stelle des Palastes ein Alcazar, ein maurisches Burgschloss. 1734 wurde dieses durch ein Feuer zerstört. Nach den spanischen Erbfolgekriegen waren die Bourbonen an die Macht gekommen. Philipp V. wollte nun ein dem Escorial der Habsburger ebenbürtiges Schloss. Er beauftragte Juan Bautista Sachetti and Francisco de Sabatini mit dem Bau der Anlage. Aber erst König Karl III konnte 1764 das Gebäude beziehen.
Seitlich neben dem Schloss wurde die Kathedrale Santa María la Real de La Almudena errichtet. Dazwischen befindet sich die Plaza de la Armeria.
Mit dem Bau der Almudena-Kathedrale wurde im 18. Jahrhundert begonnen.
