Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Almagro es una ciudad y municipio español de la provincia de Ciudad Real, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha. En 1972 su casco histórico fue declarado conjunto histórico-artístico. Cuenta con una población de 8983 habitantes (INE 2017).
Está catalogado como Uno de Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España desde el año 2015 y pertenece desde entonces a la asociación homónima.
Su entorno natural se halla encajado entre pequeñas sierras paleozoicas con algunos recursos de agua de escaso flujo: arroyos Pellejero y de Cuetos. Es del mayor interés la presencia de una zona volcánica (cerro de la Yezosa), sobre los macizos de cuarcitas existentes, lo que singulariza la zona, junto a la de Olot y a la de cabo de Gata, como los únicos territorios de origen volcánico de alguna importancia dentro de la península ibérica.
La localidad es conocida en toda la península por su compromiso con las artes escénicas desde que se redescubriera y recuperara en 1954 el que es hoy en día el corral de comedias mejor conservado de toda España (Monumento Nacional desde 1955).
Aprovechando su inmejorable situación, desde 1978 se celebra en la ciudad cada verano, durante el mes de julio, el Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico dedicado al Barroco y en especial al Siglo de Oro.
Otros festivales que se dan cita en la ciudad son el Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro Contemporáneo de Almagro (FITCA), que en 2015 alcanzó su XV edición y más recientemente el Festival de Creación Universitaria de Almagro (CUAL), que inició sus pasos en 2014.
Almagro is a Spanish town and municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. In 1972 its historic centre was declared a historic-artistic site. It has a population of 8,983 inhabitants (INE 2017).
It has been listed as One of the Most Beautiful Towns in Spain since 2015 and has since belonged to the eponymous association.
Its natural environment is nestled between small Paleozoic mountain ranges with some low-flow water resources: Pellejero and Cuetos streams. Of greatest interest is the presence of a volcanic area (cerro de la Yezosa), on the existing quartzite massifs, which makes the area unique, along with Olot and Cabo de Gata, as the only territories of volcanic origin of any importance within the Iberian Peninsula.
The town is known throughout the peninsula for its commitment to the performing arts since the rediscovery and recovery in 1954 of what is today the best-preserved corral de comedias in all of Spain (a National Monument since 1955).
Taking advantage of its unbeatable location, since 1978 the International Classical Theatre Festival dedicated to the Baroque and especially the Golden Age has been held in the city every summer during the month of July.
Other festivals that take place in the city are the Almagro Ibero-American Contemporary Theatre Festival (FITCA), which reached its 15th edition in 2015 and more recently the Almagro University Creation Festival (CUAL), which began its steps in 2014.
Lots of fun trying to get a good shot of these quick little guys!

Zurriola, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
La Playa de Zurriola es una de las tres playas de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España). Está situada entre la desembocadura del río Urumea y el monte Ulía, y tiene una longitud aproximada de 800 metros.
En 1994 se llevaron a cabo unas obras de reforma de la playa, anteriormente prácticamente inutilizable dada la virulencia de las aguas. Gracias a dichas reformas, que incluyeron la construcción de un espigón, la playa aumentó su longitud, sus aguas se hicieron aptas para el baño y su uso se multiplicó.
Frente al perfil elegante y tranquilo de las playas de Ondarreta y La Concha, la playa de Zurriola se ha consolidado como una playa de perfil más joven y apropiada para la práctica del surfismo (se trata de la playa más abierta y con más fuerte oleaje de la ciudad) y como escenario de algunos conciertos del Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián y de competiciones de Bodyboarding, surf, skateboarding y eventos similares.
The Zurriola Beach is one of the three beaches in the city of San Sebastián (Spain). It is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount Ulía, and it has an approximate length of 800 meters.
In 1994, some works were carried out to reform the beach, which was previously practically unusable given the virulence of the waters. Thanks to these reforms, which included the construction of a jetty, the beach increased its length, its waters became suitable for bathing and its use multiplied.
Facing the elegant and tranquil profile of the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha, Zurriola beach has established itself as a beach with a younger profile and suitable for surfing (it is the most open beach with the strongest waves in the the city) and as a stage for some concerts of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival and competitions of Bodyboarding, surfing, skateboarding and similar events.
Plaza de la Constitución, Donostia, Guipúzcoa, España.
La plaza de la Constitución es una plaza situada en la Parte Vieja de la ciudad de San Sebastián, en el País Vasco, España. En esta plaza, con sus soportales como característica principal, se suelen celebrar las grandes fiestas y eventos de la ciudad, como la tamborrada de San Sebastián o la feria del día de Santo Tomás. Su edificio central fue, hasta 1947, casa consistorial de la ciudad, siendo ocupado por las instalaciones de la Biblioteca Municipal (1951-2000) y, posteriormente, por dependencias administrativas del área de cultura del Ayuntamiento.
Sobre el espacio que ocupa la actual plaza de la Constitución ya existía una plaza realizada según el proyecto de Hércules Torrelli de 1723. La nueva plaza de estilo neoclásico se levantó tras el incendio de la ciudad en el contexto del asedio de San Sebastián de 1813. Sus dimensiones se encuentran moduladas en 20 arcos iguales en cada uno de los lados mayores y 9 arcos, iguales a los primeros, en el lado menor.
Los balcones de la plaza están numerados, puesto que sirvieron como palcos para las fiestas taurinas celebradas en la plaza.
The Plaza de la Constitución is a square located in the Old Part of the city of San Sebastián, in the Basque Country, Spain. In this square, with its arcades as its main characteristic, the city's big parties and events are usually celebrated, such as the tamborrada de San Sebastián or the Santo Tomás day fair. Its central building was, until 1947, consistorial house of the city, being occupied by the facilities of the Municipal Library (1951-2000) and, later, by administrative dependencies of the area of culture of the City council.
Over the space that occupies the current Plaza de la Constitución there was already a square made according to the project of Hercules Torrelli in 1723. The new neoclassical square was built after the fire of the city in the context of the siege of San Sebastian in 1813. Its dimensions are modulated in 20 equal arcs in each one of the greater sides and 9 arcs, equal to the first ones, in the smaller side.
The balconies of the square are numbered, since they served as boxes for bullfighting celebrations held in the square.

24th October 2008 - BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 'ZJ518' comes in on final approach to the Bae facility at Warton.
he BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 was a planned maritime patrol and attack aircraft intended to replace the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR2. The rebuilt aircraft would have extended the operating life of the Nimrod fleet by several decades and significantly improved the aircraft by installing more efficient Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofan jet engines to almost double the flight range. The conversion of the flight deck to a digital glass cockpit would have simplified control operations and reduced crew requirements. New detection systems were to be installed, as well as additional weapons for anti-submarine warfare.
However, the project was subject to significant delays due to cost overruns and contract re-negotiations. This was partly due to difficulties combining refurbished Nimrod MR2 fuselages, which had not been built to a common standard, with newly built wings. The numbers of aircraft to be procured fell from 21 to nine over a course of years, while costs continued to climb and was eventually cancelled in 2010
