Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now
Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now Our town, wich is called Azpeitia, was in 1910 surrounded by a wall. This wall had a huge wooden door. In Azpeitia, there were lords and they lived in very exclusive houses. For example, Enparan dorretxea. People in Azpeitia were very religious.
Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now Nowadays Azpetia isn´t surrounded by a wall anymore. Azpeitia has got a lot of important buildings. On one hand our town has got a lot of nightlife, on the other hand Azpeitia gives us a lot of facilities to do sports.

Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now In Azpeitia there were a lot of animals in 1910. The river Urola has got a lot of fishes. In the mountains and in the forests there were animals, but they were hidden. Birds and foxes were the most typical animals in our mountains.
Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now
In 1910 the important buildings were situated within the walls. The monastery, the towers, the town hall and the prision. The churches were also important, because people in Azpeitia were devouts.

We have got a court, where a lot of lawyers work. There is a big church, which is very beautifull. It has got a wonderfull dome.

For the people who lived in Landeta there was a facility to get to Loyola. They also constructed a road for the farmers from Xoxote to get to Azpeitia.
Azpeitia and its surroundings: then and now Now there are far more roads in Azpeitia than in the past, but the road to Loyola stayed. When you want to get to Azpeitia, you´ve got 3 options: the one that goes to Zestoa, to Azkoitia or to Landeta. Now the centre of Azpeitia is connected with many roads.

SOME PHOTOS
We made an article about one big change in the Dutch landscape in perticular the one of Landgraaf. And for making this article we made it up out of 2 ‘’real’’ articles. These articles were made in around 1910 and 2010. So thats about a 100 year difference.
Made in 1910 Talks about the need for new employees in the newly opened mine The problem is that they can’t find any workers and there are too few living spaces. There were a lot of mines. The state mines: wilhelmina, hendrik and emma. The private mines: Orange-Nassau 1 trough 4: the Laura mine, the Julia mine, the Domanial mine and the Willem-Sophia mine.
Now the mines are closed. The last one was closed in 1975. With the closure of the mines there also came alot of unemployment The main reason for the closure was that the had to start digging too deep to get their needed amount of charcoal
The second article describes how you can slide down the hill on Snowworld. Snowworld is annual host to the FIS World cup skiing and snowboarding. This article states how the annual FIS World cup skiing and snowboarding was held in Snowworld
Rodelen Snowworld Landgraaf druk bezocht Het gratis rodelen bij Snowworld in Landgraaf wordt goed bezocht. Zaterdag zijn volgens schattingen al meer dan vijfhonderd mensen op sleetjes de Wilhelminaberg afgesuisd. Ook zondag wordt veel belangstelling verwacht. In het weekeinde van 9 en 10 januari kunnen bezoekers gratis van de 95 meter hoge Wilhelminaberg rodelen. Iedereen kan met de stoeltjeslift omhoog om daarna het bijna twee kilometer lange parcours naar beneden te suizen. Meer over dit winterse evenement is te lezen in de krant van maandag. Bekijk nu alvast de video's en het fotoalbum voor een impressie.
We chose this article because of the flow of income Snowworld has brought to Landgraaf And it also shows how the landscape of Landgraaf has been drasticly changed due to the mines. Because the snowworld hill has been made not by nature but man. It is a giant pile of debris gathered from the mines that couldn’t be used for burning.
