Autonomous Communities of Spain

We continue our series with a look at Extremadura and Galicia Spain is divided in 17 parts called autonomous communities. Spain has fifty smaller parts called provinces.

Extremadura

Extremadura is far removed from Spain’s crowded costas – both in terms of kilometres and character. It’s one of the country’s most sparsely populated regions, roughly the size of Belgium, and its distance from the coast has kept mass tourism at bay.

Relatively few tourists, Spanish or foreign, venture to this western region of the Iberian Peninsula sandwiched between Portugal and the central plains of La Mancha. It has little appeal for the package holidaymaker but for anyone seeking a real “Spanish experience” off the beaten track Extremadura offers an unforgettable journey of discovery.

It’s an unspoilt land of lush forests, majestic mountains and vast agricultural plains peppered with towns and hamlets seemingly frozen in time. With its wealth of World Heritage sites and protected nature reserves teeming with wildlife, Extremadura is a place which beckons history buffs, explorers and the curious wanderer

www.sunnynumbers.com

determined to dig deeper into Spain beyond the golden sands of the Costa del Sol. The region is divided into the two provinces of Caceres in the north and Badajoz in the south.

The fascinating Roman city of Merida is the regional capital though Badajoz is the biggest city in terms of inhabitants. A visit to both is a must for those interested in the rich history and culture of a region once regarded as a great prize by the Roman empire as well as by Moorish sultans and Christian conquistadors. Evidence of Extremadura’s turbulent past oozes out of the walls of countless castles, palaces, medieval monuments and awesome aqueducts which have weathered the many man-made and heaven sent storms of centuries.

Merida is home to some of the world’s most important Roman remains including a magnificent bridge with 64 granite arches (the longest bridge ever built in Spain by the Romans). Other must-see sights include the fivemile aqueduct, the amphitheatre and the theatre where summer plays are still staged, more than 2,000 years after it was constructed under the orders of the Roman general Agrippa.

The beautiful walled city of Badajoz, near the Portuguese border, is also well worth a visit with its mighty Arab citadel and wealth of museums and historic sites. Extremadura’s many other

Sunshine Magazine 5

The Sky Above Trujillo, Extremadura historic treasures include the walled city of Caceres, founded by the Romans in 34 BC, and nearby Trujillo with its Moorish castle, glorious central square and monument to its famous son Francisco Pizarro, who conquered Peru.

Beyond the fortified walls of these historic cities you’ll find vast tracts of unspoilt countryside which attracts flocks of bird lovers from all over Europe and beyond. One of the most extraordinary sights in the whole of Spain is that of the region’s large population of storks which build their huge nests on top of everything from palaces and telegraph poles to church spires and convent roofs. The region is believed to be home to more than 11,000 storks along with many rare and protected bird species which flourish in Extremadura’s nature reserves.

Monfrague National Park is one of the important raptor reserves in Europe and is the best place in Spain to go for a glimpse of black vultures and the rare Spanish Imperial eagle. The park is a hikers’ paradise and has been declared a protected zone by UNESCO because of its rare flora and fauna, including the endangered Iberian lynx.

Galicia

Gorgeous Galicia in the far north west corner of Spain is one of the country’s greenest, loveliest and most unusual regions. It boasts one of the longest and most unspoilt coastlines of any Spanish region, offers some of the finest seafood in Europe and is home to what is probably

6 Sunshine Magazine

the world’s best known walk – the hallowed Santiago Way. The people of Galicia are proud to speak their own language which is more akin to Portuguese than it is to the main Castilian language (Castellano). And they safeguard their ancient culture and heritage which binds them more closely in many ways to their fellow Celtic “nations” such as Ireland and Cornwall than to neighbouring Spanish regions. Galicia is a land of rolling mists, green hills and an abiding belief in witchcraft and Celtic folklore – all a far cry from the sunny Spain known to millions of foreign package holidaymakers.

Low key tourism has started to develop here in recent years but despite Galicia’s wealth of glorious beaches, the holiday hordes have largely been kept at bay because the sea’s too cold and the weather’s too unpredictable.

This relatively little known corner of the Iberian Peninsula attracts history and culture buffs, bird watchers, water sports enthusiasts and Spanish holidaymakers keen to escape the crowds and blistering summer heat of the southern and eastern costas. Walkers and cyclists from all over the world make the Galician capital, Santiago de Compostela, their destination when they embark on the famous “Camino de Santiago” trodden by pilgrims for more than 1,000 years. The city is teeming with places of historic interest including the world’s oldest hotel – the Hostal Tres Reyes Catolicos which was originally a pilgrims’ hospital and

Sunshine Magazine 7

Monfrague National Park is now one of the most exclusive hotels in the government owned chain of Spanish Paradors.

Other historic towns in the region include La Coruña, where you’ll find the world’s oldest working lighthouse – the Tower of Hercules which overlooks the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and Cantabrian Sea. This was the departure point for the ill-fated Spanish Armada which set sail for England in 1588 and was repulsed by Sir Francis Drake’s navy.

The old quarter of Lugo, to the south east of La Coruña, is completely encircled by defence walls built by the Romans 1,700 years ago. And in the town of Ourense you can visit the Roman spa baths, where the water is a constant 70 degrees centigrade all year round.

Exploring Galicia’s 200 kilometre coastline is an absolute delight if you’re not in any particular hurry and you’re the sort of person who abhors the over development of the cluttered holiday costas. There are magnificent long, sandy stretches which are never over-crowded (even in high season), Norwegian-style fjords and sheltered inlets with shallow lagoons for safe and relatively warm bathing.

The coastline is peppered with pretty fishing ports and superb fish restaurants offering the sumptuous fresh seafood for which the region is so famous. Local delicacies include the rather gruesome-looking “goose barnacles” known as percebes of which Hollywood actor/director Woody Allen is said to have remarked: “How can anything so ugly be so delicious?.” Many a foreign

8 Sunshine Magazine

visitor bold enough to try one has concluded that the taste of these particular barnacles is quite as gruesome as their appearance!

El Camino de Santiago

If you visit Galicia you will see countless people walking towards Santiago, often with backpacks and hikers attire. Many of these travellers also carry a long staff with a shell attached to the handle and look some what dishevelled. These people are holy pilgrims making the centuries old pilgrimage known as “el Camino de Santiago” (the way of St. James).

These pilgrims, usually Catholics, travel to Santiago from all over the world.It is the route, or routes, that they follow that are known as “El Camino” and the oldest one starts in France some 900km (650 miles) from its ultimate destination.

The serious pilgrims, who walk the entire route, can expect a journey of approximately one months duration, with the added bonus of very sore feet. Many do however claim to have a revelation on achieving their goal and there is often much camaraderie between fellow travellers.

The objective of the “el Camino de Santiago” pilgrimage is to reach the large cathedral at Santiago de Compostela and visit the shrine of the apostle whose tomb rests there. Over the years however two other rituals have evolved.

One is the touching of the statue of St. James behind the main altar, for which there is normally a long queue and a significant wait. The

www.sunnynumbers.com

Santiago de Compostela other is the tapping three times of the pilgrims head on a large column just inside the “Portico de la Gloria� (arched entrance to the cathedral).

www.sunnynumbers.com

The pilgrim (or visitor) also places their hand on a designated spot on the column during this ritual.

Sunshine Magazine 9

Santiago de Compostela In the early days of the pilgrimage, the pilgrims would depart from their own homes and take whatever course was the least hazardous, but today whilst the same holds true, there are a number of designated routes which most pilgrims elect to follow.

For the successful “perigrins” (as they are called in Spain) there is also a register that is signed at the walk’s completion at the pilgrims office in Santiago.

On completion of the pilgrimage and arrival at the Cathedral for mid day mass, the travellers can expect a service steeped in history and tradition as well as religion. Amongst other things a massive incense burner called a “botafumeiro” is swung above the heads of worshippers in Santiago’s cathedral transept filling the building with incense and creating an ambience that has barely changed over the centuries. .

Recognising the traditionally dressed pilgrim is easy as most walk with a long crooked staff topped with a clam shell. These large scallop shells adorn not just the staffs of the pilgrims, but also appear in image form on buildings, gates and other structures and are a bit of a mystery. They are actually called the “Saint Jacob’s Shell” (Viera in Spanish) and their contents are a culinary delicacy throughout Spain. Records of their existence and connection to both Santiago and the pilgrimage date back to the 11th century, but the reason behind their significance has been lost. One suggestion,

10 Sunshine Magazine

which seems highly plausible, is that the shell could have been used by a traveller as a scoop for water or a small food dish. The shells are large and hard and also have a semi serrated edge, so they may well have functioned as some kind of universal tool.

In 2003 the British art critic, Brian Sewell, had his rather unreligious Camino pilgrimage from France to Santiago broadcast on British TV. He travelled his final leg on a donkey Although a “fallen” catholic and now a committed atheist, Sewell still found the journey quite moving and spoke to many genuine pilgrims on route who found the whole experience a personal revelation. architectural and cultural one.

Horoscopes - February Aries

Taurus

Gemini

You are pouring a lot of energy into generating business income, building your dreams, and planting the seeds for ideas this month. Your social agenda is hopping! You are more impartial than usual, and you can use this easy energy to enhance friendships. Romantic relationships require considerable attention, especially since the demands of your larger goals in life have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities.

Career and professional matters become a top priority and while career is at the forefront of your mind, your instinct is to retreat from the hustle and bustle. House repairs, family dramas, and other such issues, crop up now.

Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy put into domestic matters is essential now.

The urge for more from life than what you get from everyday mundane activities is strong. You want to broaden your horizons in any way that leads you into unexplored territory, whether this is intellectual or physical (or both). Events call your attention to communications, schooling, means of transportation, mobility, neighbours, or siblings.

Whether or not you want to, you need to run errands and take care of paperwork.

Cancer

Leo

Virgo

This month, you are pulling back a little, strategizing, observing, and researching your options. While work and other public matters are not making headlines for you, your personal life is certainly heating up.

You take little interest in anything superficial now, and you are a true student of human nature..

Much of your attention is drawn to improving your close relationships. It’s best to give the stage to others now, and to put your personal projects on the back burner just for now. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what is happening now. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now, and whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.

Any suspicions that you are a workaholic will probably be confirmed this month! You are making a dent in your “to do” list. . You’ve been deeply involved in your work and routines.

It’s time to balance your life with some down time--otherwise, you simply won’t feel whole.

Scorpio

Sagittarius

A truly fun month is in store for you.

In 2009, you are discovering (and rediscovering) all the things that bring joy to your life. Entertaining, recreation, romance, children, and hobbies—all of these things appeal more than ever.

Your charm soars, and your romantic life picks up pace. Responsibilities to others become very clear. Domestic matters move forward after a lull.

The year 2009 brings much contentment on the home front for you, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be busy in this area of life! In fact, this month, activities in and around your home and involving family occupy much of your time. On a moment’s notice, you are called to perform. It’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.

You can’t seem to sit still this month!

With all that’s going on around you, be careful not to let the little things cloud your perspective of the bigger picture.

Information overload could be an issue, if you let it become one. With all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs, you could be wondering when you’re going to have some fun.

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

This month you are busy building your resources, buying new things that have long-term “shelf life”, and thinking up ideas about how to make more money. Financial matters are in focus.

What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with your attention to other people’s needs.

February is a banner month for your personal interests, energy, charm, and initiative. Few Aquarians will end the month without having changed some aspect of their personal appearance, manner, or style. The need to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another becomes clear. It’s time to compromise and negotiate.

Taking time out to research, reflect, and develop your inner resources figures strongly this month. Much of your energy is channeled into private matters. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines.

Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you know you need to do in order to feel more balanced and healthy.

Horoscopo - Febrero Estas gastando mucha energía en generar ingresos empresariales, construyendo tus sueños y sembrando las semillas de las ideas este mes. Tu agenda social está repleta. Eres más objetivo que lo habitual, y usas esta energía para mejorar amistades. Relaciones románticas te quitarán más tiempo de lo normal, sobre todo

Este mes te estás frenando un poquito, hacienda estrategias, y observando y analizando tus opciones. Mientras que no destaca ni el trabajo ni asuntos públicos para ti, tu vida personal sí que se está calentando. Ahora te interesan poco los temas superficiales y eres un verdadero estudiante del carácter humano.

Tauro

Géminis

Lo más importante para ti ahora mismo es la carrera profesional, y mientras que el trabajo esté en la vanguardia de tu mente tus instintos se retiran de todo el ajetreo. Reparaciones de casa, dramas familiares y otros asuntos semejantes empiezan a surgir. En este momento es esencial encontrar el equilibrio entre lo profesional y lo domestico.

Es muy fuerte en ti el deseo de sacarle más provecho a la vida que lo habitual. Quieres expandir tus horizontes hacía cualquier dirección que te lleve a nuevos terrenos, tanto si se trata de cuestiones intelectuales o de físicas o más bien ambas. Te llaman temas de comunicación, enseñanza, modos de transporte, movilidad, vecinos o hermanos. Por mucho que no quieras, tendrás que encargarte de recados y de papeleo.

Leo

Virgo

Mucha de tu atención se centra en mejorar tus relaciones cercanas. Ahora es mejor dejar que protagonicen otros, y echar atrás tus proyectos personales, por ahora. Encontrar el equilibrio entre la autonomía y la dependencia es lo que te está pasando en este momento. Llevas las emociones colgadas de la manga.

El hecho de poder tener éxito como un líder se está ‘poniendo a prueba’ este mes.

¡Cualquier sospecha de que eres un adicto al trabajo se confirmará este mes!

Estás machacando bastante trabajo pendiente. Has estado bastante liado en asuntos de trabajo y dicha rutina.

Es tiempo de equilibrar tu vida con un descanso, de lo contrario, simplemente no te sentirás completo.

Escorpión

Sagitario

Un mes verdaderamente divertido te espera por delante. En el 2009 estás descubriendo (y redescubriendo) todas las cosas que te traen alegría en la vida. Dar muchas fiestas, tener un romance, los niños y los pasatiempos- cosas que te llaman la atención más que nunca. Tu encanto se sube por las nubes y tu vida romántica coge ritmo. Las responsabilidades hacia los demás se hacen claras. Después de una tregua, los asuntos domésticos también vuelven a comenzar.

El 2009 te trae mucha satisfacción domestica, aunque esto no quiera decir que no estarás ocupadito en este campo de la vida. De hecho, este mes actividades alrededor de tu casa y con familiares te ocuparán mucho de tu tiempo. Con poca antelación, se te llamará para rendir. Es mejor mantener la calma y hacer todo lo que puedas para demostrar tu capacidad.

¡Parece que no te puedes quedar quieto este mes! Con todo lo que está pasando a tu alrededor, no dejes que las cositas pequeñas te distraigan de los objetivos más importantes. Te puedes agobiar con tanta información si te dejas. Con toda la atención que le has estado prestando a los asuntos triviales, te estarás preguntando cuándo te tocará pasártelo bien.

Capricornio

Acuario

Piscis

Este mes estás ocupado preparando recursos, comprando cosas que tengan ‘larga caducidad’. También estarás pensando en ideas de cómo ingresar más dinero. Estás enfocado en los asuntos financieros. Tienes que balancear lo que a ti te hace sentir cómodo y seguro con tu atención a las necesidades de los demás.

Febrero es un mes importante para tus intereses personales, tu energía, tu encanto y tu iniciativa. Pocos acuarios acabarán el mes sin haber cambiado algún elemento de su aparición personal, manera de ser o estilo. Hay una clara necesidad de encontrar el punto entre tus necesidades y las de otras personas. Es tiempo de llegar a un acuerdo y negociar.

Tomar un tiempo para reflexionar, investigar y desarrollar tus recursos interiores son elementos esenciales para ti este mes.

Mucha de tu energía se concentra en asuntos personales. Puedes usar esta oleada de energía emocional para hacer cambios positivos en tus rutinas. Comienza tu programa de ejercicio y nutrición, ya que sabes que esto te hará sentir mas sano y equilibrado.
