Cobi 981 Posted March 17, 2023 Author #497 Share Posted March 17, 2023 WHAT CAN YOU DO IN SPAIN? A recommendation from the organizing committee is to take advantage of the trip to Seville to get to know Spain. Did you know that Spain is the second country that receives the most tourists? In 2019, before the pandemic, an estimated 83.5 million people visited Spain. That's almost double the population! Although Spain is not a very large country in terms of size, you can find practically everything in it. From the wide white sand beaches of the Balearic Islands or Murcia to ski resorts in Sierra Nevada and the Pyrenees. We also have some desert areas, such as the Tabernas desert in Almería or the Maspalomas Dunes in Gran Canaria. If you prefer urban life there are also options for you. From big cities like Madrid and Barcelona to smaller cities but full of history like Toledo, Granada, Oviedo or Santiago de Compostela. hckošice, mrv86, heywoodu and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobi 981 Posted March 17, 2023 Author #498 Share Posted March 17, 2023 TIME TRAVEL: EL ANACRONÓPETE ARTISTIC PROGRAM (1/6) The story of 'El anacronópete' is a fascinating tale of time travel and adventure, written by Enrique Gaspar in 1887. This story is significant because it is considered to be one of the first works of science fiction in Spain, and it was also the first literary work to introduce the concept of a time machine. The story follows the adventures of Professor Don Sindulfo García and his student, Ramón, as they embark on a time travel journey in the anacronópete, which is the first time machine ever created. The inventor of the anacronópete, Enrique Gaspar, accompanies them on their journey. Throughout the story, the characters travel through different eras in Spanish history, witnessing significant events and encountering famous historical figures. The story is not only a thrilling adventure but also an opportunity to learn about the evolution of Spanish culture, including its music history. As we explore the different time periods that the characters visit, we will also discover the role that music played during each era and the different musical styles and instruments that were popular. Join us on this exciting journey through time and music in 'El anacronópete'! Yannakis, mrv86, maestro and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobi 981 Posted March 17, 2023 Author #499 Share Posted March 17, 2023 EL ANACRONÓPETE - MIDDLE AGES ARTISTIC PROGRAM (2/6) During the Middle Ages, music in Spain was largely dominated by troubadours and minstrels. These performers traveled from town to town, entertaining audiences with their songs and instruments, and often performed in castles, palaces, and other noble residences. The music of this period was often improvised and performed in the vernacular language, reflecting the emergence of a distinct Spanish culture. One of the most significant musical genres of the Middle Ages was the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of songs written in Galician-Portuguese, a language spoken in the northwest region of Spain. The Cantigas were written by King Alfonso X of Castile, who ruled from 1252 to 1284, and were dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The songs featured various musical styles, including monophonic and polyphonic music, and were often performed with instruments such as the vielle, a medieval string instrument similar to a violin. Another popular genre of music in medieval Spain was the Sephardic music of the Jewish community. The Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain until their expulsion in 1492, had a distinct musical tradition that blended elements of Jewish, Arabic, and Christian music. The songs were often sung in Ladino, a language derived from Old Spanish and Hebrew, and were accompanied by instruments such as the oud, a lute-like instrument. The music of the Middle Ages in Spain was characterized by its simplicity and the use of modal scales. The melodies were often repetitive, and the lyrics were frequently focused on love, religion, and morality. Although the music of this period may seem primitive compared to later periods, it played an essential role in the development of Spanish music, setting the foundation for the emergence of new musical styles and genres in the centuries to come. hckošice, Wanderer, Olympian1010 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungshamra71 892 Posted March 17, 2023 #500 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Galician Portuguese is the parent of the twin sister languages, Galician and Portuguese. the difference is that Portuguese managed to evolve in its own (due to be independent) while Galician not that much due to be stuck in Spain and therefore to Castilian language :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
