Quinientos años, ¡ya hace!,
que ocurriera la Reforma.
Cuando la luz es muy tenue
es preciso encender
una luz que nos alumbre
y nos haga comprender
que hay abusos que no se deben
por más tiempo soportar,
ni aguantar tanto mesías
que nos quiere esquilmar.
Mas no mires a otro lado,
que todos tenemos cosas
que debemos retirar,
y alumbrar con buen agrado
la justicia y honestidad.
Martín Lutero - Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios.
El pont de Besalú, sobre el riu Fluvià, és el resultat de diverses reconstruccions, reformes, afegits i restauracions, fetes al llarg dels segles. La primera notícia que se'n té és del 1075, en què s'esmenta un pont a Besalú. L'any 1284 es torna a fer referència al pont, en vendre un hort. Pot ser que el traçat inicial fos un altre (aigües amunt hi ha restes d'un pilar amb carreus a la base similars als del pont). Diversos aiguats (1315, 1321, 1433, 1421, 1669, 1771 i 1790) afectaren el pont de manera que calgué reparar-lo sovint. L'any 1880 s'enderrocà la torre del centre i el portal d'accés des del poble per facilitar el pas de maquinària necessària per a la indústria local. L'any 1939 se'n volaren dos arcs.[

La primera noticia que se tiene es del 1075, en el que se menciona un puente en Besalú. El 1284 se vuelve a hacer referencia al puente, al vender un huerto. Puede que el trazado inicial fuera otro (aguas arriba hay restos de un pilar con sillares en la base similares a los del puente). Varios aguaceros (1315, 1321, 1433, 1421, 1669, 1771 y 1790) afectaron el puente de manera que fue necesario repararlo menudo. En 1880 se derribó la torre del centro y el portal de acceso desde el pueblo para facilitar el paso de maquinaria necesaria para la industria local. En 1939 se volaron dos arcos.
The Besalú bridge, on the River Fluvià, is the result of several reconstructions, renovations, additions and restorations, made over the centuries. The first news that we have is from 1075, mentioning a bridge in Besalú. In 1284, the bridge is again referenced when selling a vegetable garden. It may be that the initial layout was another (upstream there are remains of a pillar with ashlars in the base similar to the bridge). Several waterfalls (1315, 1321, 1433, 1421, 1669, 1771 and 1790) affected the bridge so that it had to be repaired often. In 1880, the tower of the center and the gateway from the village were dropped to facilitate the necessary machinery for the local industry. In 1939 two arches flew. [
Today WAH are visiting Pubs, Bars, Inns and Taverns
So to oblige we visited La Reforma for a late lunch and I had a Mexican coke....oh it had a dash of rum in it apparently.
I should add we go here each Thursday for a late lunch/early dinner because the food is so good.
These are the remains of the first building you come to at the ruin of La Reforma. The light was gorgeous and it was a very special moment shooting this image.
At the end of November, I took my third trip to Mexico to photograph Mayan ruins. I visited a number of ruins not open to the public, overgrown and hidden in the jungle, in order to continue working on my infrared images of Mayan Ruins. Many people think that the large ruins (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Labna, Sayil, etc.) comprise the totality of Mayan civilization in the Yucatan, but there are literally hundreds of smaller or satellite cities spread throughout Yucatan and Campeche. I am so drawn to these beautiful, sometimes remote, ruins, partially overgrown, but still standing after more than a thousand years.
If you'd like to read about this trip, I have a blog post about it that you might enjoy.
This building, part of the site called La Reforma, lies at the top of a long climb up a hill which was once clad in stone and beautiful, dramatic staircases, but which is now crumbling and overgrown. A tough climb in that heat, but a lovely reward at the top.
