* Estampa veraniega andaluza. Campos de la Subbética en Cabra de Córdoba, la antigua Egabro. Situada en el sur de la Provincia de Córdoba.. Andalucía.
El Parque Natural de las Sierras Subbéticas abarca una gran extensión del Sur de la Provincia de Córdoba, y un poco la de Jaén. Las poblaciones que abarca este maravilloso espacio son cultas, blancas y cargadas de milenios de historia.
Hoy nos detenemos cerca de una de ellas como es Cabra de Córdoba, la antigua Igabrum tartesso-romana.
Ante esta imagen, evocaremos los versos del gran poeta andaluz Manuel Machado…
Verano

En Punta Umbría, que forma parte de la provincia de la luz, que es Huelva, el sol va a descansar. Al día siguiente vuelve con fuerza. Pues yo también.
À Punta Umbría, qui fait partie de la province de la lumière, qui est Huelva, le soleil se reposera. Le lendemain, il revient avec force. Alors moi aussi.
In Punta Umbría, which is part of the province of light, which is Huelva, the sun will rest. The next day he returns with strength. Well me too..
Perugia is a beautiful city, the main town in Umbria, City University but unfortunately another record. It is considered one of the major Italian cities of drug dealing. A dubious distinction: (
There is still much to do to ourselves off this label. Basically today, finding drugs in Perugia is one of the simplest things in the world. Because the dealers turn unpunished and are easily identified by anyone, so that the question arises that the ordinary person is "if everyone knows who they are because the police do not intervene?"
Examples such as Verona, that in five years they have cleaned up the state of deterioration that was wandering the streets of the center, can give the assurance that something can be done, if you want.....

Assisi è una località di collina dell'Umbria, in Italia centrale. È il luogo di nascita di San Francesco (1181-1226), uno dei santi patroni d'Italia. La basilica di San Francesco è un'imponente chiesa su 2 livelli consacrata nel 1253. Gli affreschi duecenteschi che ritraggono la vita di San Francesco sono stati attribuiti, tra gli altri, anche a Giotto e Cimabue. La cripta ospita il sarcofago in pietra del santo.

Gubbio is an Italian town and comune in the far northeastern part of the Italian province of Perugia (Umbria). It is located on the lowest slope of Mt. Ingino, a small mountain of the Apennines.
The city's origins are very ancient. The hills above the town were already occupied in the Bronze Age. As Ikuvium, it was an important town of the Umbri in pre-Roman times, made famous for the discovery there in 1444 of the Iguvine Tablets, a set of bronze tablets that together constitute the largest surviving text in the Umbrian language. After the Roman conquest in the 2nd century BC – it kept its name as Iguvium – the city remained important, as attested by its Roman theatre, the second-largest surviving in the world.
Gubbio became very powerful in the beginning of the Middle Ages. The town sent 1000 knights to fight in the First Crusade under the lead of Girolamo of the prominent Gabrielli family, who according to an undocumented local tradition, they were the first to reach the Church of the Holy Sepulchre when Jerusalem was seized (1099).
The following centuries in Gubbio were turbulent, featuring wars against the neighboring towns of Umbria. One of these wars saw the miraculous intervention of its bishop, Ubald, who secured Gubbio an overwhelming victory (1151) and a period of prosperity. In the struggles of Guelphs and Ghibellines, the Gabrielli, such as the condottiero Cante dei Gabrielli (c. 1260–1335), fought for the Guelph faction, supporting the papacy. As Podestà of Florence, Cante exiled Dante Alighieri, ensuring his own lasting notoriety.
In 1350 Giovanni Gabrielli, count of Borgovalle seized power as the lord of Gubbio. His rule was short, and he was forced to hand over the town to Cardinal Gil Álvarez Carrillo de Albornoz, representing the Papal states (1354).
A few years later, Gabriello Gabrielli, the bishop of Gubbio, also proclaimed himself lord of Gubbio (Signor d'Agobbio). Betrayed by a group of noblemen which included many of his relatives, the bishop was forced to leave the town and seek refuge at his home castle at Cantiano.
With the decline of the political prestige of the Gabrielli, Gubbio was thereafter incorporated into the territories of the House of Montefeltro. The lord of Urbino, Federico da Montefeltro rebuilt the ancient Palazzo Ducale in Gubbio, incorporating in it a studiolo veneered with intarsia like his studiolo at Urbino. The maiolica industry at Gubbio reached its apogee in the first half of the 16th century, with metallic lustre glazes imitating gold and copper.
Gubbio became part of the Papal States in 1631, when the della Rovere family, to whom the Duchy of Urbino had been granted, was extinguished. In 1860 Gubbio was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy along with the rest of the Papal States.
The name of the Pamphili family, a great papal family, originated in Gubbio then went to Rome under the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–1492), and is immortalized by Diego Velázquez and his portrait of Pope Innocent X.

Amanece sobre las cárcavas. Los colores y volúmenes comienzan a definirse y los tibios rayos de sol apenas hacen mella en el páramo helado. Un zumbido lejano va cobrando, poco a poco, protagonismo frente a un muro de silencio. Aparece entonces, cadencioso, refulgente, atronando el valle con su respiración. Y dejándonos un cúmulo de sensaciones imborrables.
