La Pedriza,
is a large granitic batholith located on the southern slope of the Sierra de Guadarrama, within the Spanish municipality of Manzanares el Real, in the northwest of the Community of Madrid. This berrocal is formed by numerous cliffs, rocky walls, grasslands, streams and meadows. It is an area of great geological, landscape and sports interest.
The mechanical actions that have been exercised on these rocks for millions of years have shaped very curious and attractive, especially for climbers, since they have nearly a thousand climbing routes of different difficulties. Hiking is another sport very practiced in La Pedriza. Proof of this is the massive influx of people on many weekends.
The 3200 hectares that La Pedriza occupies approximately belong to the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, the largest protected area in the Community of Madrid. In this area there are abundant Mediterranean shrubs, such as rockrose, and others typical of the high mountains, such as the piorno. The fauna is also rich, especially in birds of prey and reptiles.
Occasionally this natural setting has been the scene of shooting of some films from the 1960s, spaghetti westerns basically.

Este berrocal está formado por numerosos riscos, paredes rocosas, canchales, arroyos y praderas. Es una zona de gran interés geológico, paisajístico y deportivo.
Las acciones mecánicas que se han ejercido sobre estas rocas durante millones de años han conformado formas muy curiosas y atractivas, sobre todo para los escaladores, ya que cuentan con cerca de mil vías de escalada de distintas dificultades. El senderismo es otro deporte muy practicado en La Pedriza. Prueba de ello es la afluencia masiva de gente que hay durante muchos fines de semana.

El Parque Nacional Ischigualasto, más conocido como Valle de la Luna, debe su fama al paisaje lunar y a la cantidad de restos fósiles del período triásico. Además, seduce con las esculturas en roca que el agua y el viento tallaron durante miles de años.
Junto con el cercano Parque Nacional Talampaya, son los únicos sitios del mundo donde se aprecia una secuencia completa de sedimentos del Período Triásico, motivo por el cual han sido declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
La flora y la fauna ha logrado adaptarse a condiciones bastante extremas. Las plantas poseen hojas pequeñas o espinas. Hay cardones, algorrobos, retamos y jarillas. En cuanto a los animales, se ven guanacos, cóndores, zorros, liebres, ñandúes y pumas.

Cistus albidus, estepa o jara blanca. Mata de entre 50 y 100 cm de altura, no muy ramosa, con hojas de color blanquecino, muy tomentosas, sin peciolo, opuestas y con tres nervios muy marcados. Contrariamente a lo que indica su nombre, ésta es una de las pocas especies de jaras que no tienen flores blancas, sino rosadas, de 5 cm de diámetro y solitarias o en grupos de tres o cuatro, en la terminación de las ramillas. Se da en cualquier tipo de suelo en su área de distribución, aunque prefiere los ricos en cal.
Que pasen un buen fin de semana.

It occurs in any type of soil in its range, although it prefers the rich in lime.
Have a good weekend.

Helianthemum oelandicum, commonly called hoary rockrose, is a low growing plant confined to rocky dry calcareous areas especially close to the sea
Occurs in several areas of Europe including France, Germany, Spain, Sweden and parts of north Africa and the eastern Mediterranean countries. In the British Isles it is very restricted in its distribution being limited to parts of the South Wales coastline and a few locations on Anglesey.
WISH YOU A MAGNIFIC AND HAPPY WEEK MY FRIENDS XOXOXO
MONSARAZIt’s one of the oldest Portuguese towns southern of the Tagus river. It has been occupied since pre-historic times, existing on its vicinities about one and a half hundred megalithic monuments. The hill where this village stand probably was a pre-historic fortification, and in the surrounding area there have been found several pre-roman anthropomorphic graves carved on the stone itself.
@Thanks for your friendship,coments and faves.They mean a lot to me and make me happy
This primitive town was romanized during the Roman period, and latter was occupied by Visigoths, Arabs, Mozarabs, Jews, and, after the reconquista, was christianised.
The name Monsaraz originates from the word Xarez or Xerez, which were the Iberian equivalents of the Arab words SARIS or SHARISH, the Arabic names of the Gum rockrose (Cistus ladanifer L.), a plant that still today prospers in poor, dry, acidic slate based soil that surrounds Monsaraz. The Iberian words Xarez/Xerez latter evolved to the Portuguese Xaraz and to the Castilian Jerez (the Spanish name for the Sherry wine). Therefore Monsaraz originated from the name Monte Xaraz (Mount Xaraz), a fortified hill surrounded by gun rockroses.

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, L'Umbracle, Trees and plants, Sculpture, People (slightly cut)
The L’Umbracle is a statue garden / landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia (such as rockrose, lentisca, romero, bougainvillea and palm trees). It was designed by Santiago Calatrava in 2001 and was conceived as an entrance for the Ciutat de les Arts y les Ciènces.
The trencadís sculpture in the centre is an integral part of the structure and also a part of the ventilation system mentioned in the previous post. In the BG (right side) is the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía.
The intention was that over the course of time ivy could grow over Calatrava's trademark parabolic arches. And that this would create a shadow over the gardens. But alas. Because of the hot sun and the metal heating up, the ivy plants died before they could reach the top of those arches.
This is number 30 of the Valencia! album and 289 of Valencia & Andalucia.
There are so many pollinators in our neighborhood that I don't try to identify them. This one was drawn to the rock roses on the hill in the back yard.
Hope your week is off to a good start! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
