According to history, French soldiers picked up the cigarette habit in Spain and France began manufacturing cigarettes in 1842, often giving brands such Spanish-derived names as Les Espagnoles, Les Hidalgos and Les Madrilènes.The Gitane was born in 1910 and by 1927 the package had a flamenco hint, featuring a fan and tambourine.
In the 1940s a laughing gypsy's face was introduced and in 1947 the poster designer Max Ponty won a competition with the familiar flat blue box, or paquet à tiroir, on which his black silhouette of a gypsy archly fandangoed against a cloud of smoke.
(Mary Blume writing in The New York Times)
***************************************************************************
Nothing stops her dancing, her wild Gypsy dancing, whose tight circles of passionate desire are resumed in the rings rising from her cigarette.
Gitanes, which were considered the first ‘modern’ cigarette because they came in a box accompanied by emblems of a hot woman. On the dark blue box, the cartoon depicted a motif of a fan, tambourine, and Seville oranges, all elements in Merimee’s original Carmen. The cigarette, like Carmen, is an object of graphic legend and a scource of fabulation, whose wispy undulations in space write words of imaginative reveries before the smoker’s vapid gaze. Carmen is the fiery heart of the burning ember, in which every brilliant dream is perpetually turned into delicious smoke and bitter ash.
The familiar Spanish Gypsy, drawn on the box, was first done by Giot on posters for Gitanes, and in 1927 she became the official emblem. Her image has acquired mythical dimensions, a cipher designating the absolute power of seduction. The Gypsy dancer on the box, striking the pose of Ole! – the long, curved body with an arm upraised like a wisp of white smoke silhouetted against the night blue. Like the cigarettes inside, her image on the box is the promise of a Gypsy wedding.
A woman can be beautiful; a Gypsy woman is sublime. For Nietzsche, the Gitane, whose apotheosis is Bizet’s Carmen, is the fatal embodiment of Mediterranean passions, superior to the frigid spirits of Richard Wagner’s northern mists. Marriage to Carmen, like that of a smoker to his cigarette, is eventually fatal.
The two most popular brands of cigarettes in France, Gauloises and Gitanes; emblems of risk and beauty exerting ‘powerful charms’ are embodied on those packs in the figures of the Soldier and the Gypsy. …………when Georges Bizet’s Gypsy heroine encounters her soldier lover Don Jose, she is one of the cigarieres who work rolling cigarettes in a tobacco factory in Seville, a city famous for its immense factory where thousands of women, many young and barely dressed, languoriously rolled cigars and manufactured cigarettes in dense heat and the poisoined air of tobacco smells and human sweat, intoxicated by the thick effluvia arising from leaves and bodies and by their own continuous smoking.
Gypsy women in Spain dance in public for money. They do dances ‘that have been banned in our street balls at carnival…. Carmen, who is infinitely prettier than all the women of her nation, is also the most bold, free and tragically, the most loyal Gitana in Spain. If one were to attribute her qualities to the cigarettes she smokes, one might lend them something of her illicit charm, her transgressive beauty, and the same fatal compulsion with which she marries those who dare to light her up.
A woman smoking in public offends those who think that women are supposed to be veiled. Carmen, like the cigarette she smokes, is black as ash and red as an ember; swirling arabesques in her eye evoke intimations of mortality, the gay wisdom of a cruel finitude, enlightened in every glance.

The winery was founded in 2006 by the Garcia Hidalgo family and is situated in the beautiful Guadalcobacin valley, named after the river. The river naturally irrigates the orchards of Arriate and Ronda and provides the home to the area’s wine Alcobazin. The winery operated by owner and oenologist Miguel Garcia Pereila and wife Maria Isabel. They developed traditional methods and skills and following very natural processes that has gained them official Ecological Cultivating certificate status. Their wine production is voluntarily reduced to focus on achieving quality over quantity and to also obtain strong wines in all aspects of color, body and taste.
The tour included an excellent lunch with three wines. They did not serve a white wine, substituting another red, because they didn’t think it was up to quality standards.

Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo’s seascape echoes the artist’s fascination with the violence of the sea. This work of Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo utilizes not only the painterly quality of oil, but also the singular movement of brushstrokes to create motion. Just like his famous work “La Barca de Aqueronte”, which exemplifies this through the sway and churn of water and whitewater bubbling around a mournful boatman, this seascape depicts foul weather, but not too gloomy for the viewer to see the lusty poetry in all that sea green tempest and hard driving, albeit invisible, wind driving the waves against a high craggy promontory in the background, which is painted sans distinct details.
The relationship of light and dark areas, the contrasts of movement, are largely responsible for the expressive power of the stormy shore. Hidalgo may have been a romantic but, he was also a realist in basing his art upon experiences directly perceived in nature.
The fluidity of the sea, whose color, light, and atmosphere changes from one moment to the next, was a ready equivalent of the flickering reveries of Hidalgo’s brush.
Hidalgo painted this monumental sea scene with the color effects boldly and facilely applied. In terms of quality and invention,Hidalgo’s achievements as a painter are unparalleled, and while Juan Luna is arguably the more famous of the two, some artcritics consider Hidalgo the more superior painter.
In principle, Hidalgo’s seascape combines the strengths of both Luminism and Impressionism, even if he adheres to neither.His dramatic, even impressionistic skies amid waves in some instances diverge from the becalmed seas of late 19th century painting, manifested best in the luminist style in the United States — which he never visited.
Luminism is characterizedby attention to detail and the hiding of brushstrokes, while impressionism is characterized by lack of detail and an emphasison brushstrokes.
Having taken up painting at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura in Intramuros early in his career, he remaineda classicist, preferring to work in the style recognized by the art Establishment, despite the furor over the Impressionists in the Europe of 1884. Thus, Hidalgo’s depictions of the stormy sea mark one significant extreme of the vast range of Philippine art’s landscape traditions.

La primera catedral fue construida en 1541 en lo que hoy es el templo de Santa María de Gracia. Esta primitiva iglesia estaba construida con adobe y techos de paja. Hasta el día 30 de mayo de 1574 todo había transcurrido con normalidad, sin embargo, mientras se celebraba una misa, unos vecinos lanzaron unos disparos al aire en el corral contiguo, algunos cayeron en la iglesia y esta se incendió. La iglesia quedó semidestruída. Por cédula real se obtuvo el dinero para la nueva catedral. La obra avanzó muy despacio, pues escasearon los fondos, mas para febrero de 1618 el maestro arquitecto Martín Casillas había llevado los trabajos a su término. Por fin en abril del mismo año se trasladó el Santísimo Sacramento, de la antigua iglesia a la nueva. En el año de 1818,un fuerte terremoto sacudió a la ciudad, y cuando este terminó había ocurrido una nueva tragedia: las torres y la cúpula se habían derrumbado. Fueron sustituidas por unas nuevas, mismas que también se derrumbaron por un posterior terremoto en el año de 1849. Las nuevas torres fueron construidas por el Ing, Arq. Manuel Gómez Ibarra, costando 33,521 pesos, se tardaron tres años en ser construidas y fueron terminadas en 1854. El Papa Pío XII la elevó al rango de basílica menor, dedicándola a la Asunción de María Santísima.
Actualmente de la iglesia catedral continúa en peligro: ha sido dañada por los sismos de 1932, 1957, 1979, 1985, 1995 y 2003. Entre las amenazas que sufre se encuentran: la ligera inclinación de la torre norte, su ligero hundimiento y el daño estructural que ha sufrido la cúpula, entre otras.
La catedral ocupa un área de 77.8 x 72.75 metros. Contiene altares dedicados a Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, la Virgen de Zapopan (patrona de Guadalajara), Santo Domingo de Guzmán, San Nicolás de Bari, Santo Tomás de Aquino, San Cristóbal, San Juan de Dios.
Hay 52 asientos de madera tallada además de la silla cardenalicia. La mesa de consagración es de mármol y plata. Los vitrales de colores son importados de Francia.
También se encuentran imágenes de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, Del Cristo de las Aguas, entre otras. Asimismo, la catedral alberga reliquias de la mártir romana Santa Inocencia.
Tres cardenales están sepultados en la catedral, así como varios obispos de la diócesis e incluso el corazón de un presidente de la república mexicana.
The first cathedral was built in 1541 in what is now the church of Santa María de Gracia. The original church was built with adobe and thatched roofs. Until May 30, 1574 everything had gone smoothly, however, while celebrating Mass, neighbors threw a few shots in the air in the yard next door, some fell in the church and it caught fire. The church was partially destroyed. By royal decree gave the money to the new cathedral. The work proceeded very slowly, for scarce funds, but by February 1618 the master architect Martin Casillas had brought the work to completion. Finally in April of that year he moved the Blessed Sacrament, of the old church to the new. In 1818, a strong earthquake shook the city, and when this had happened ended another tragedy: the towers and the dome had collapsed. Were replaced by new ones, same as also collapsed from a subsequent earthquake in 1849. The new towers were built by the engineer, architect Manuel Gomez Ibarra, costing 33.521 pesos, it took three years to be built and was completed in 1854. Pope Pius XII elevated to the rank of minor basilica, dedicating it to the Assumption of Mary.
Today the cathedral remains in danger has been damaged by the earthquakes of 1932, 1957, 1979, 1985, 1995 and 2003. Among the threats to include: the slight inclination of the north tower, his slight subsidence and structural damage suffered by the dome, among others.
The cathedral occupies an area of 77.8 x 72.75 meters. Contains altars dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Sorrows, the Virgin of Zapopan (patron saint of Guadalajara), Santo Domingo, San Nicolás de Bari, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, St. Juan de Dios.
There are 52 seats carved wooden chair in addition to the Cardinal. The consecration table is marble and silver. The stained glass windows imported from France.
There are also images of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Christ of the Waters, among others. Also, the cathedral houses relics of the Roman martyr St. Innocent.
Three cardinals are buried in the cathedral, and several bishops of the diocese and even the heart of a president of the Mexican Republic.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar Bagac Bataan March 2010
Casa Hidalgo originally stood on the corner of Calle San Sebastian (now R. Hidalgo St.) and Callejon Carcer in Quiapo, Manila. It was built in 1867 for for the family of Rafael Enriquez and was design by Felix Roxas y Arroyo, the first Filipino to practice architecture in the Philippines.
It later became the first campus of the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts with Enriquez himself serving as director from 1909 to 1926. In 1927, however, UP relocated its operations to Padre Faura. After that, he house underwent a number of repairs and re-purposing. It became a bowling alley, a boys-and-girls dormitory, and even a venue for live sex shows. This and poor maintenance led to the house's eventual decay.
Casa Hidalgo was transferred to Las Casas in 2006. There it stands with regained dignity with its original UP still proudly displayed on its facade.
Las ofrendas del Museo Dolores Olmedo siempre han sido consideradas artísticas, ya que no sólo rescatan la tradición de los altares de muertos, sino que además brindan un homenaje al trabajo artesanal de México.
