Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of ​​8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful AndalucÃa, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Seville is the capital of the province of Andalusia. It has a colorful history dating back to the Romans. You will find beautiful historic buildings, but also tapas bars where they serve the tastiest dishes. And of course not to forget the flamenco. In 1929, as part of the Spanish World Exhibition, among other things, the Plaza de España was constructed: a crescent-shaped square with the Pavilion de España situated on it. There are fifty murals on the façade that refer to the fifty Spanish provinces. In front of it are benches, which are eagerly used. The Plaza de España is a classic place to go with the family on Sundays. The majority of these buildings are used today by the government such as the town hall. The square also served as a film set for Naboo in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.
The Plaza de España is a landmark in Spain located in Sevilla. A "Moorish paradisical style" with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and lush plantings of Mediterranean pines. The Plaza de España has been used as a filming location for in the Star Wars movie – Attack of the Clones. The scene of a young Anakin and Padmé arriving at the planet of Naboo, walking over the bridge and through the corridors of the Royal Palace.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Sevilla is de hoofdstad van de provincie Andalusië. Het heeft een kleurrijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de Romeinen. Je treft er schitterende historische gebouwen, maar ook tapasbars waar ze de lekkerste gerechten serveren. En natuurlijk de flamenco niet te vergeten. In 1929 werd in Sevilla, als onderdeel van de Spaanse Wereldtentoonstelling onder meer de Plaza de España aangelegd: een halvemaanvormig plein met daaraan gelegen het Paviljoen de España. Op de gevel bevinden zich vijftig wandschilderingen die naar de vijftig Spaanse provincies verwijzen. Ervoor bevinden zich bankjes, waar gretig gebruik van wordt gemaakt. De Plaza de España is een klassieke plek om op zondag met de familie heen te gaan. Het merendeel van deze gebouwen wordt vandaag de dag gebruikt door de overheid zoals het stadhuis. Het plein diende ook als filmset voor Naboo in de film Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones uit 2002.

HOJAS AL VIENTO:
Splinky is a small man, a prisoner of the demon of solitude, who deals with his sadness by clinging to memories of the past that he gathers from a huge chest. He lives in the illusion that his old love still exists, and every day becomes more enamoured by a heap of old, lifeless things, but "SÃrio" the guardian angel, will make our clown live in the present, he will be able to say goodbye to his past, and embark on a new life...
Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)
I wanted you to see the size of this place. When I found out it was purchased by and designed by the developers out of Austin, Texas, I wasn't surprised. The place is huge and they tried to touch on everything. It's positioned so people can sit out on the farthest deck and watch the sunset. Of course, small bars are out positioned in different areas of the deck. And sure, live bands..;) Sooooo Austin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great setup. It doesn't fit the rest of the city or coastal area, but that's the way it goes. I wonder how the locals feel about it?
We are here at the Patapampa pass, on the road back to Arequipa, in a place called Mirador de los Andes. This is one of the highest point of our trip, at 4910 m altitude. We had already been there the day before to reach the Colca valley.
It's cold, a little icy wind blows, and the weather is threatening. The great good weather of the morning is far away.

4910 m d'altitude !
On est ici au col de Patapampa, sur la route de retour vers Arequipa, à un endroit appelé le MIrador des Andes. C'est un des points culminants de notre voyage, à 4910 m d'altitude. On était déjà passé par là la veille pour rejoindre la vallée du Colca.
Il fait froid, un petit vent glacial souffle, et le temps est menaçant. Il est loin, le grand beau temps du matin.

The Colca Canyon is one of the deepest in America (about 3400 m - 11154 ft at its highest point), more than twice the depth of the Grand Canyon in the United States.
Here, at Condor's Cross, we already overhang the Colca river of more than 1200 m (3937 ft).

La profondeur du canyon
Le canyon du Colca est un des plus profonds en Amérique (environ 3400 m à son point le plus haut), plus de 2 fois la profondeur du Grand Canyon aux USA.
Ici, à la Croix du Condor, on surplombe déjà le rio Colca de plus de 1200 m.

We had got up at dawn, it was expected this morning to see the famous condors of the Colca Canyon.
An outstanding view of the all snowy and extinct Hulca Hualca volcano (6025m - 19767ft !) was there for us. The morning sun was already radiant in the azure sky.
The day started strong !
But what is this big cloud on the horizon among all this perfect blue ?

Quel est donc ce gros nuage à l'horizon ?
On s'était levé aux aurores, il était prévu ce matin d'aller voir les fameux condors du canyon de Colca.
Une vue extraordinaire sur le volcan éteint Hualca Hualca (6025m !) tout enneigé nous attendait. Le soleil matinal était déjà radieux dans l'azur du ciel.
La journée commençait très fort !
Mais quel est donc ce gros nuage à l'horizon au milieu de ce bleu parfait ?

A little artistic slide featuring Kenneth Snelson's Needle Tower (1968) as seen at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C. Mixed with a shot of Katharina Fritsch's "Hahn/Cock" or the big blue chicken atop the National Gallery of Art. Maybe a hint of stairs and a little understated texture from Mark Bradford's Pickett’s Charge also on view at the Hirshhorn.
