Places to see in ( Salamanca - Spain ) La Alberca
Places to see in ( Salamanca - Spain ) La Alberca
La Alberca is a municipality in the province of Salamanca in the autonomous community of Castilla y León, Spain. It is the capital of Sierra de Francia Comarca. In 2003, the population of La Alberca was 1105, and the area 60.73 km².
La Alberca altitude is 1048 metres above sea level. The Carmelite convent of Batuecas Desert, established by Thomas á Jesu is located five kilometres away, but the route there from the town is 12 km.
People have been living in the area of La Alberca since before the arrival of the Romans, as evinced by the pre-Roman castro which sits beneath a part of town. Few remnents from the [Visigoth] era remain, however it is thought that materials were reused to build the present Majadas Old Chapel. In the 13th century the town of La Alberca was a clerk of the crown, being one of the few places in the Sierra de France that belonged to Miranda County.
According to legend, in 1465 the women of the town defeated Portuguese troops, and, in this victory, claimed the Portuguese flag, which is still preserved today in the village. The victory is celebrated on the second day of Easter. In the 15th century, John II of Castile brought the town under the domain of the House of Alba who later gained control of part of the Sierra de France with the help of Ferdinand. These demains were grouped under one jurisdiction based in the town of Granadilla Caceres.
However La Alberca managed to maintain some autonomy from Granadilla, coming to have their own ordinances in 1515. In 1940 the town became a National Historic Landmark, facilitating urban conservation. Since 2000, the Valley of Las Batuecas in La Alberca has been a declared Historic Site. The valley is where the Batuecas River joins the River Ladrillar.

Guadix, duas cidades numa só
Guadix é uma cidade da província de Granada em Espanha que foi no passado um importante enclave árabe cujo nome era Guadh-Haix, que significa rio da vida
Pode-se dizer que Guadix, são duas cidades em uma só.
Na parte baixa da cidade está a cidade clássica adornada por palácios, igrejas, catedral, praças sob o olhar do castelo medieval
Na parte alta da cidade está situado o Bairro de Las Cuevas um magnífico bairro troglodita com casas em caverna, uma engenhosa arquitetura popular.
O Bairro de Las Cuervas é composto por habitações trogloditas verdadeiramente adaptadas ao ambiente natural, aproveitando as pequenas colinas que salpicam o local sobressaindo as chaminés pintadas de branco. Foram escavadas beneficiando assim da economia da construção, mas também de excelentes condições para suportar os rigores do clima de Guadix. Essas cavernas são frescas no verão e quentes no inverno..
No passado eram habitações dos mais humildes, atualmente são cerca de 2000 e são um verdadeiro luxo, e embora habitadas maioritariamente por pessoas de Guadix, muitas são segunda habitação para férias e fins de semana, bem como para exploração turística.
Guadix, two cities in one.
Guadix is a city of the province of Granada in Spain that was once an important Arab enclave whose name was Guadh-Haix, which means river of life
It can be said that Guadix, are two cities in one.
In down town part is the classic city adorned with palaces, churches, cathedral, squares under the gaze of the medieval castle
In uptown it is in the neighborhood of Las Cuevas neighborhood with a magnificent troglodyte houses in the cave, an ingenious folk architecture.
The Las Cuervas district consists of troglodyte dwellings truly adapted to the natural environment, taking advantage of the small hills that dot the site jutting painted white chimneys. So they were dug benefiting from the construction economy, but also excellent conditions to withstand the rigors of the climate of Guadix. These caves are cool in summer and warm in winter ..
They were once homes of the humblest, are currently around 2000 and is a real luxury, and although inhabited mainly by people of Guadix, many are second home for holidays and weekends, as well as for tourist exploration.
