IMSERSO Acronyms correspond to the body, "Institute for the Elderly and Social Services" under the "Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality", in Spain. Already know, the majority, which has a subsidized rental program for people over 60, if these are made in low season and according to own planning. It is part of a social policy that covers two fronts: first Holiday allows easy travel and see the world, even out of season, people of low income and, second, maintains activity in the hotel instead of closing the hotels, giving life to these services ...
Well, as you saw, I turned sixty recently, so we went to Salou IMSERSO eight days, accompanied by two other couples of friends. Since I was subsidized by the state, a certain amount of cost, I think I have a moral obligation to share something with people, paying taxes, assist in sustaining this feature system, lol ... So I direct them my story and anyone who is a lover of travel, photography and knowledge of other peoples ... amen to leave a written record, for history, for such an event.
The trip began with a shock, because a lady fell into Málaga airport and broke an arm, so it was frustrated in his desire. Is this not the only incident of accidents and health issues.
Calypso arrived to the hotel very late (23.30 hours) and once in the El Prat airport in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwe traveled by bus to Salou. Dinner cold, cold, and air conditioning malfunction in our room and the other pair of the three that form the group of friends who, luckily, was repaired the next day, leaving the comfortable rooms.
let's start the review immediately. Day eight we moved to Tarragona, where we spent the whole day. We walked down La Rambla Nova to the Balcony of the Mediterranean. A market in the center of the Rambla distracted us, especially the ladies, with its varied selection of clothing and other associated items.
visit the Roman Amphitheatre, which, as always, was an attack on their integrity. As in 259 d C. burned it to the bishop Fructuoso and two of his deacons, ended up doing in your martyr basilica interior in the late sixth century, using material from the dismantling of the amphitheater itself. The vibrations of the train that runs by his side also undermine their integrity. After
toured the remains of the Roman circus, whose main grandstand on the council settled on its base and an underground car park in a beautiful square. I can not imagine the amount of archaeological material of value that has been usurped, destroyed and hidden to build new buildings. It says that architects are cast to shake when you have to dig a foundation, similar comment he once made me a visit to Merida. We
after the Roman Praetorian (century I a. C.), Roman building refurbished, also called Tower of Pilate and the National Archaeological Museum, where you can enjoy the great quantity of archaeological remains from the city. As usual you can see some sculptures in marble, beheaded and in adjoining room, several heads of heroes Tarragona. This is because in every important house was a statue of lord and master master. When he died, his heir, to save money, changed the head and kept his body. The head of the father, or former owner, was stored and displayed the sculpture to date.
The cathedral, which can be seen from the Tower of Pilate, we find closed for the time and work, not go to visit her pudenda. The walls deserve a trip to enjoy beautiful views and admire the stonework and the various stages of construction in terms of material and method used. Its streets and squares, along with other attractions complete the visit turned out to be quite exhausting, but rewarding in short.
9 On Wednesday we did the route of the monasteries, visiting Santes Creus and Poblet, Montblanc and Reus well. Another busy day. I had already done this route, but for thirty years and the memories were very vague.
monasteries, Cistercian, are splendid. Part of that list of great architectural works, full of art, which were left, along the country, religious orders, such as aggregators of power and knowledge at the time. The San Benito order spread throughout Europe and caught on a role of great influence.
One, with these things, you always have an aftertaste with some ambivalence, between the work itself, its magnificence in every sense of the word, and suffering or financial sacrifice of those who endured, which, as always, ended up being a people oppressed by their masters civil and religious. In contrast to the Roman work, focusing on civil (amphitheaters, circuses, roads, aqueducts, etc.) That we saw in Tarragona capital, in this If we focus on religion, taking a vow of poverty, is full of splendor to the praise and glory of the Creator and enjoy your children elected to serve (entiéndaseme sarcasm). It is easy to imagine these immense masses, surrounded by modest houses or shacks, where the servants came under the impact of his immense coercive power, to be schooled in the pulpit, and follow in obedience to the divine spirit emanating from them, the friars and abbots of monasteries, managed, both from the influence on earthly power as in the domain of knowledge and control.
This does not mean that today we can enjoy all the work, that although it could have been civil, is presented in all its splendor and beauty. I do not attempt a panegyric on the monasteries, as available on the Internet many of the best information that I could contribute, but a story of travel to decorate the photo that accompanied Slide.
Therefore, after this little reflection on the social component, I must say that in the case of Santes Creus, was impressed by their faculty, I loved the video explaining the history and activity (albeit, somewhat understandably biased), the church, all the units we visited and monuments, from the entrance to the complex to the exit.
The next stop was at Montblanc, charming walled village The streets and squares, its churches and towers, its people and their homes. We ate a surprisingly cheap buffet and continue to Poblet.
Poblet Monastery is again another example of Cistercian spectacular beauty. Monumental occupies a large space, home to 32 monks, including three candidates. It has a small museum with items of great value. The tour is accompanied by a guide who gives the appropriate explanations. We find in him a real cemetery where lie the remains of kings of Aragon and Counts of Barcelona. The faculty, in deeds, not be allowed in all its beauty. Once again repeat the same feelings we had in Santes Creus. Of course, while in Poblet pay a good start, no rebate for pensioners if they had sixty-five (soon to be sixty-seven if not remedy), on the other we had free admission. The business is used to keep the group of monks who live there, I suppose ... Apart from the cloister, real cemeteries, church and other facilities, I marveled at the altar, with its sculpture.
In any case, the hand is sluggish, leading to its abandonment and in a sense, plunder, with the seizure of Mendez. Yes, I have to honor the excellent treatment and friendliness of the people I contacted in all cases, with few exceptions. The Catalan people friendly, respectful and friendly, as we saw.
Finally, that day just in Reus. We visited the museum of Gaudi Centre and little else, except walk around the city and admire some of its Art Nouveau facades, the cathedral, its streets and squares.
Now I put a slide with 50 of more than six hundred pictures I took on the trip.
