En el siglo IX , Alfonso V (El Noble) mandó reconstruir el Castellum Honesti para poder frenar las incursiones de los normandos y de los sarracenos hacia la ciudad de Santiago en la isla de Oneste. Fue este topónimo el que más tarde derivaría en “Oeste”
Aquí comienza la historia de las heróicas resistencias y grandes victorias y derrotas sobre los vikingos.
A partir del siglo XVI fue perdiendo su valor estratégico y por lo tanto paulatinamente abandonado..
La Capilla de Santiago construida adosada a una de las torres pertenece al siglo XII.
In the 9th century, Alfonso V (the Nobleman) ordered the rebuilding of the Castellum Honesti in order to stop the incursions of the Normans and the Saracens towards the city of Santiago on the island of Oneste. It was this toponym that would later derive in Oeste "West"
Here begins the story of heroic resistance and great victories and defeats over the Vikings.
From the 16th century it lost its strategic value and therefore gradually abandoned.
The Chapel of Santiago built attached to one of the towers belongs to the 12th century.

Habitado desde el Neolítico, vestigios de aldeas a orillas del lago que fueron descubiertos en la década de 1980, el sitio está atravesado por una vía romana en la antigüedad, pero una primera aldea no se desarrolló realmente en el siglo IX con el establecimiento de un priorato
Compuesta por muchas aldeas, la localidad que vive hasta entonces de la agricultura y la pesca se industrializa con el establecimiento de tileries que no cesaron su actividad hasta 1953. Mientras tanto, Saint-Jorioz que pertenecía al Ducado de Saboya tiene Fue adscrito a Francia en 1860.
La proximidad de Annecy y el desarrollo del turismo relacionado con el lago y las estaciones de deportes de invierno que lo rodean durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX impulsan la demografía de la ciudad, que ahora cuenta con casi 6.000 habitantes.

Saint-Jorioz is a town in Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, about ten kilometers south of Annecy.
The territory of the municipality of an area of 21 km² is located partly in the middle and high mountains, bounded to the west by the Semnoz massif which rises to 1660 m altitude and to the east by the west shore of Lake Annecy (443 m above sea level).

Take a look in my album Gothenburg !
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony in 1621. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years`War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the river Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.
The fortress Skansen Lejonet (built 1687-1693) and its twin tower Skansen Kronan (built 1687-1700) were built to protect the city of Gothenburg against possible Danish attack, and thus had a similar purpose to the seafort New Älvsborg, which was built around the same time.

Selva de Irati, Navarra, España.
El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.
Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.
For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited by forestry since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of forest.

La Wangfujing Snack Street, situada en hutongs justo al oeste de la calle principal está llena de restaurantes y puestos de comida. Los puestos de comida ofrecen una gran variedad de comida callejera común y exótica. Los platos más populares son el chuanr (kebabs de carne, hechos usualmente de cordero) y postres como el tanghulu (frutas confitadas en un palo).
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangfujing
The Wangfujing snack street, located in hutongs just west of the main street, is densely packed with restaurants and street food stalls. The food stalls serves a wide variety of common and exotic street food. More common fare such as chuanr (meat kebabs, commonly made of lamb) and desserts, such as tanghulu or candied fruits on a stick, are among the most popular.
Further north and perpendicular to Wangfujing is Donghuamen Street, which has a night food market of its own.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangfujing
The north end of the pedestrian mall heats up in late afternoon and evening for the night food market. Dozens of food stands sell everything from fried scorpion and snake kebobs to the less exotic pork and chicken kebobs, dumplings (pot stickers) fruit and congees (bean puddings). Wandering from stand to stand, it's possible to put together a fun and inexpensive meal.
The Line 1 subway stops at the south end of Wangfujing Street.

While Wangfujing snack street is worth a visit for the mandatory "look I'm eating a on a stick"-photo, and it is a great place to get souvenirs, it is also a hotbed for food poisoning and not-really-authentically-Chinese snacks. Chinese people don't really eat scorpions on a stick, unless they're not from Beijing and also on holiday here.
You'd be much better off getting stuck in and trying these genuine Beijing-style street snacks. You'll find them sold off carts by the side of the street throughout the entire city, you shouldn't have to look too hard, they tend to gather around tourist destinations too.
