El centro geográfico de España

• Para situarnos nos ponemos en el Km. "cero",
  o sea el centro de, donde empiezan todas las
  carreteras nacionales, pues aunque el centro se
  ubica en el Cerro de los Angeles, que también
  esta en nuestra comunidad, el Km. "0" es más
  conocido y visitado, por ser el punto desde donde
  se miden todas las distancias a cualquier parte

MADRID. Madrid was made capital of Spain by
Felipe II in 1561. It is the highest capital in
Europe. It is a beautiful city that has been
restored after the Civil War of 1936-39. Unlike
most Spanish important ciudades, la ciudad de
Madrid does not have una catedral gótica
importante. La Catedral de la Almudena was built
in a later century next to the Palacio Real. La
boda de los Principes de Asturias, Felipe de
Borbón y Letizia Ortiz, tuvo lugar en esta
catedral el 22 de mayo 2004. Madrid, however has
numerous churches. La Plaza Mayor was the center
of activity for many centuries. Built in a square
surrounded by building with arches. It can be
accessed through some of the corner arches. It is
a pedestrian area with sidewalk cafés and tapa
(hors doeuvre ready dish) bars. El Palacio Real
(The Royal Palace), built by the Bourbons from
France, is one of the largest one in Europe, with
beautiful gardens. El Retiro is a beautiful park
(parque) with a Presidio hemicycle gallery and a
Crystal Palace. El Prado is a great European
museo showing not only Spanish painters like El
Greco, Velázquez and Goya, but also many Italian
and Dutch masters. El Centro de Arte Reina Sofía,
exhibits mainly modern artists Picasso, Miró,
Dali, etc. El Museo Thyssen Bornemisza, private
museum.

Flamenco is performed every night. Restaurants
abound with seafood and meaty platters. Dinner
is normally served at 10 p.m. to the locals.
Hungry American tourists try earlier seating
whenever possible. La Puerta del Sol is the
geographical center of Spain. It is Madrid
largest square. On New Years eve, los Madrileños
gather in front of the Bell Tower of the Ministry
to eat 12 grapes (doce uvas), one for each stroke
at midnight. They also drink champagne. There is
also a statue of a bear at a lemon tree, (el Oso
al Madroño). Madrid also boasts magnificent
fountains like La Fuente de Cibeles, with
Cibeles chariot drawn by two lions. It also
has beautiful gates known as Puertas like La
Puerta de Alcala. La Plaza de Colón has the
statue of Cristobal Colón and also is called
Discovery Square. La Plaza de España has the
statue of Cervantes, with both statues of Don
Quixote on Rocinante and Sancho Panza on his
burro. Las Ventas is Madrids famous bullring.

SPANISH ARMADA. Reasons for Felipe II to go
after England 1- to convert England to
Catholicism 2- to destroy Englands fleet and
prevent the British from interfering in the
New World and the Atlantic Ocean. A- Spanish
Armada planned to sail up the English Channel to
meet with the Army of the Duke of Parma of the
Netherlands. B- First, encountered the British
fleet and is unable to reach help from the
Netherlands. C- Defeated by the British fleet.
They had more maneuverable boats equipped with
long range cannons. Lost was the chance for the
Spaniards to storm and attack the British
boats. D- Retreated through the North shore of
Scotland, and got caught in a hurricane strength
storm and were blown onto the shores of
Ireland. E- Spain was badly defeated, lost its
naval supremacy. England now could rise to
power, unchallenged. England remained faithful
to the Anglican Church

CORRIDA DE TOROS
Origins and History of Bullfight Bullfighting is
certainly one of the best known, although at the
same time most polemical Spanish popular
customs.This Fiesta could not exist without the
Toro Bravo, a species of bull of an archaical
race that is only conserved in Spain. Formerly
this bull's forebears, the primitive urus, were
spread out over wide parts of the world. Many
civilizations revered to them, the bull-cultus at
the Greek island Creta is quite well-known. The
Bible reports on sacrifices of bulls in honour to
the divine justice. Also in the religious
ceremonies of Iberian tribes living in Spain in
prehistorical times bulls played an important
part.The origins of the Plaza, bullring,
probably are not the Roman amphitheaters but the
Celt-Iberian temples where those ceremonies were
held. In the province of Soria, close to
Numancia, one of them is conserved and it is
supposed that there bulls were sacrificed to the
Gods.While the religious cultus to the bull goes
back to Iberians, it were the Greek and Roman
influences that converted it into a
spectacle.During the middle-ages it was a
diversion for the aristocracy to torear on
horse's back. That was called suerte de cañas. In
18th century this tradition was more or less
abandoned and the poorer population invented the
bullfight by foot. Francisco Romero was a
key-figure in laying the rules for that new
sport.For its fans La Corrida is of course
rather an art than a sport, not to speak about
the challenge of the man fighting against the
beast. It is an archaic tradition that has
survived in this country, just as the Toro Bravo
has done.
43
What a Corrida is about If you are not familiar
to Corridas, you will find here listed
chronologically everything that happens. So you
may decide by yourself if you want to see one
when you are visiting Spain.A Corrida starts
with the paseillo, with everybody involved in the
bullfight entering the ring and presenting
himself to the public.The toreros wears el traje
de luces, the suit of lights. Two Alguacilillos,
on horse's back, direct themselves to the
presidency and symbolically ask for the keys to
the "puerta de los toriles". Behind that door
there are the bulls.With the door being opened
and the first bull entering the ring the
spectacle starts. It consists of three parts,
called tercios, being separated by horn-signals.
There are three matadores in each Corrida, by the
way, and each will have to torear two bulls.In
the first tercio the bullfighter uses the capote,
a quite large cape of purple and yellow color.
Now enter two picadores, on horse's back and
armed with a sort of lance.The second part is la
suerte de banderillas. Three banderilleros have
to stick a pair of banderillas into the attacking
bull's back.In the final "suerte suprema" the
bullfighter uses the muleta, a small red rag. He
has to show his faena, his masterity to dominate
the bull, and to establish an artistical
symbiosis between man and beast. The Corrida ends
with the matador killing the bull by his sword,
la hora de la verdad, the moment of truth.
