5. Valle de los Caidos San Lorenzo De El Escorial
The Valle de los Caídos is a Catholic basilica and a monumental memorial in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, erected at Cuelgamuros Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid, conceived by Francisco Franco to honour and bury those who died in the Spanish Civil War. Franco claimed that the monument was meant to be a national act of atonement and reconciliation. The Valley of the Fallen, as a surviving monument of Franco's rule, and its Catholic basilica remain controversial, in part since 10% of the construction workforce consisted of convicts, who voluntarily, in exchange for a reduction of sentence, decided to collaborate. The monument, considered a landmark of 20th-century Spanish architecture, was designed by Pedro Muguruza and Diego Méndez on a scale to equal, acc...

Accidentes y Cornadas en el Primer Encierro - San Fermín 2015

07-07-2015

El primer encierro de San Fermín 2015, con toros de la ganadería de Jandilla, ha sido peligroso y rápido. Once mozos, tres de ellos heridos por asta de toro y el resto con contusiones, han sido trasladados al hospital, dos de ellos con pronóstico reservado. La carrera ha sido muy emocionante, con momentos de peligro.

Los astados han salido en manada, detrás de los mansos, uno de ellos se ha adelantado mientras que otros dos astados más atrasados han lanzado derrotes en la cuesta de Santo Domingo creando peligro. La carrera ha durado dos minutos y 23 segundos.

El primer herido por asta de toro se ha producido en la cuesta de Santo Domingo. Un corredor estadounidense, M.W.O., de 38 años, ha resultado corneado en la axila derecha según el parte médico actualizado por el jefe del servicio de Urgencias del Complejo Hospitalario, Javier Sesma, quien ha precisado que se encuentra en quirófano y su pronóstico es menos grave porque no se ha visto afectada la cavidad torácica.

Otro corredor estadounidense de 27 años, D.M.O., de California, de 27 años, ha sido trasladado desde el tramo de Mercaderes con una herida superficial por asta en la región lumbar, de carácter leve. También con una lesión por asta de toro ha sido atendido A.B.O., de Reino Unido, de 30 años, quien ha sido trasladado desde el tramo de Telefónica con una herida por asta en perineo de pronóstico menos grave.

Los toros han saltado por encima de los mozos
El resto de mozos heridos han sufrido contusiones, uno de ellos sufre un traumatismo facial y otros cuatro sufren traumatismos craneales.

La mayoría de los contusionados se han producido porque los morlacos han salido muy veloces y tanto los astados como los mansos han saltado por encima de los corredores.

Los toros de Jandilla corrieron por última vez en Pamplona en 2014 en un encierro limpio y rápido y son especialmente peligrosos, por imprevisibles, y veloces con una duración media de 3,19 minutos por carrera.

Los toreros Juan José Padilla, Pepe Moral y Alberto López Simón se encargarán de lidiar por la tarde en el coso pamplonés a los toros de Jandilla.

Miles de personas asistieron este lunes en la plaza del Ayuntamiento al chupinazo que por primera vez se lanzó a dúo, y del que se encargaron el Orfeón pamplonés y la extinta peña La Veleta.
