In Gallicia there are no only that one but many celebrations as the popular Frank Fair that dates of 1400 and that is an inventory of the history of Pontevedra, where there happen animated representations of historical passages of Gallicia. Pero Galicia is also great wonderful nature and natural resources that make her only as the big one Laughs at the biggest Arosa of Spain.

The cave was created approximately 3.000 years ago when a volcanic eruption took place in La Corona. It was then when a gigantic lava wave covered the way towards the sea hardening the top part of the current due to the cooling of the air.
Little by little, the volcanic gases also left his trace in the place, forming new cavities and producing some explosions that transformed the place.
The cave received his name for having belonged to the Family Green and from 1964 it can be covered by the tourists, who travel approximately 2 kilometers to enjoy this only place that offers a spectacle of colors and sensations.

Acquaintance in the whole Spain and also in the world, this paella is the big pearl of the kitchen of the country, a delicacy that is simmered in a few paella pans of at least 22 cm. of diameter of long tradition in the Valencian Community. Curiously, the word “paella“ means “frying pan“ in the Valencian language.

The places like the options and this way it is like the local paella it can be of meat or of seafood. If it is a question of the first option, we must include chicken pieces between the rice and the vegetables while if we speak about the second one, we will eat a delight that will include mussels, scampi, clams, squids and all kinds of fruits of sea, reason by which one is known like “seaworthy paella”. Although today the selection of the products is more strict, in the boats it was common that there was added all that that was after a day of fishing: Norway lobsters, cuttlefish, crabs, galleys, lobsters, scampi, angler fish, etc.
In both cases, we cannot forget basic any of this plate: enough olive oil, sweet paprika and, of course, a good quota of saffron. In case of the seafood also it is necessary to add the moralla, a broth of quite particular fish.

Without a doubt that if we wanted to speak about history we would have several articles, nevertheless we wanted to make use of the opportunity to heighten the cultural wealth that is in the immense doors of this imposing work of art, and is that his walls would suffer with the step of the years the succession of different styles that will go prolonging by means of the centuries in one to occur of traces of each of the real epochs, which will end recorded to fire in a building that presents itself as the most emblematic of the whole city.
Obviously that it is necessary to tell the truth to the tourists with regard to this monument, and for it we must not conceal the fact of having been according to his origins, a species of pagan temple, which was getting up precisely on a Roman acropolis of that byline is not already had. In spite of there do not exist at present remains of the primitive church to which we have alluded, enough traces are had of having got up this building on an ancient mosque that turned with the step of the years into cult for the Christians, after the city to have been reconquered in the year 1096.
Come the XIIth century is born the future cathedral to which we allude today, being faced towards the North, keeps on lodging the simple one, but at the same time imposing Romanesque front, which later in the XIIIth century is necessary diverse works for his restructuring, which was dedicated then to Santa Maria of the Pleasures. This is precisely the front that presently leads us from the cloister to the cruise of the cathedral.

And, of course, between the big elected ones there are the Italian restaurants that somehow have managed to compete body to body with the classic Spanish bars because they share the bonds of the Mediterranean kitchen.

Perhaps there the secret of his success is since these strongholds raise an alternative different from our flavors without that's why moving away too much. This kitchen appeals to many of the products used in the Spanish gastronomy although it combines them in different form, changing the dressings, using other cooking methods, adding another type of grasses and spices.

In the common language the grafiti serves to name the graffiti of political or social content that are realized in the walls.

The true thing is that the cleanliness of the grafitis costs many thousands of euros to the commune and is as well as Barcelona implemented a system of digital file that will denounce the authors of the graffiti; now the Town hall of Madrid is who has pressed lines hard to fight the grafiteros. The Town hall has spent this year 7.652.860,78 euros in the cleanliness and for such a motive, the grafiteros caught ‘in fraganti’ must have clutched the fat paintbrush to erase any painting trace. That way, the ‘offenders of the spray’ will be able to replace his economic fines cleaning the grafitis of the capital during four or five weekends, according to the weight of the sanction.
The measurement, which comes applying itself also in other cities, has now the novel inclusion of two social educators who accompany the lads every Saturday and Sundays.
