1 Landscapes
Puente Nuevo town in Galicia, Spain
This picture shows a beautiful landscape pointing to what
would look like a castle with a huge bridge. This Landscape is known to be
the Puente Nuevo,
described as the newest and largest of three bridges that span the
120-metre-deep (390 ft) chasm that carries the Guadalevín River
and divides the city of Ronda, in southern Spain. The reason why this
bridge is called the new one is because there were previous one before. This
new one tool 34 years to be built. It is a very nice place to visit. We can see
the beautiful view all around and the Arch present at all different angle of
the monument which gives it a special design. There are sign that the building
is an old one especially with the look of the bridge giving an aspect of contemporainity but as for the other building around they
seem either more recent or renovated.

Pyrenees Mountains, Spain
This image shows the Pyrenees
mountains which is a range of mountains in
the southwest Europe forming a natural border between Spain and France with a height of 3,404 and 11,168 ft altitude at
the peak of Aneto. This image shows the features of the mountains and how
they naturally follow a specific pattern and are embracing their surrounding
with trees and others. The top end of the mountains has white depository I
would assume of snow or ashes while those downward instead have grass plants on
them covering their upper surface. https://emeraldwateranglers.com/wp-content/gallery/spain-salvelinus/spain_ntlparkovertown.jpg

La Cala De Benirras, Ibiza Spain.
This image shows a
beautiful beach with a beautiful clear sea water. We can see the clouds
scattered in the sky and from both sides of the pictures at the end sides
corners of the beach, we can see how the vegetations gives to this landscape a
beautiful view and appearance of backdrop of densely pine forested cliffs with rocks. This image is actually
representative of one of the numerous paradisiac beaches of Ibiza which this
one is called the Port of Benirras which is about
300 metres long and is a mixture of pebbles and
sand with rocks at either end of the beach as mentioned above. I found out that
one particular feature of this beach is the rock said to resemble a woman at
prayer, a giant baby, or the Sphinx. All these different elements
make it a nice place to go to.

Parc del
Laberint d'Horta, Barcelona, Spain.
This image shows a magnificent
well designed Labyrinth of a parc in Barcelona called “The Parc del Laberint d'Horta” also known as Jardins del Laberint d'Horta. This Artwork is a historical garden in the Horta-Guinardó district in Barcelona and a very
unique one in the entire city. Located on the former estate of the Desvalls family, next to the Collserola ridge, the Garden comprises an 18th-century neoclassical garden and a
19th-century romantic garden giving it all characteristic to make it a
magical place to be at. The name of this parc derives from the hedge maze
situated on the lower terrace of the monument. This image is just a nice view
from top of the beauty of this garden. The Labyrinth is magnific and with the
trees high at the background are just great. https://www.fotosearch.com/CSP616/k6161922/
2 Cities
Panorama view of Barcelona, Spain.
Barcelona is the capital and largest city of the autonomous
community of Catalonia in Spain, as well as the second most populous municipality
of Spain. This city has a population of 1.6 million within city limits. But it
does counts more people when including the surrounding area making it the sixth most populous urban area in Europe.
This City has so much to offer in terms of tourism and on this image, we can
see beautiful view of the city from a very nice area with that wall made with
nice materials making it very unique and the architectural appearance looking
at the buildings and how they look we can see why this city might be one of the
world's leading tourist center, and those few characteristics might contribute
to it being one of the world's major
global cities. And very known because of its major cultural
background and attachment.

Malaga, Andalucia, Spain.
Málaga is
a beautiful city in the community of Andalusia, Spain listed as the most
populous city of Andalucia. Málaga's is very
touristic especially because of the historical background it has with its
history spans of about 2,800 years. These criteria makes it be one of the
oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously
inhabited cities in the world. On this image, we can see how
structured and old some buildings are with well some new one eventually but
still the old ones gives some kind of charm to the city showing its important
cultural infrastructure and the artistic heritage the city have which have all
been factors to contribute to Malaga to become nominated for the 2016 European Capital of Culture. We eventually
know the famous Pablo Picasso and we will be amazed to know/ learn that he was
born in this beautiful city so as the actor Antonio Banderas.

detail of how beautifully constructed this bridge is. The teleferico
connects el parque del Oeste with el parquet de la
Casa de Campo or in English the Parque del

Brutus Callaicus is a famous name in the history of
Valencia. He was a consul and was the one to find Valencia which was discovered
as a Roman colony in 138 BC giving it the name of Valencia Edetanirum.

3 Landmarks
https://www.wondermondo.com/wonders-of-mexico/
El
Escorial
This image shows us the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El
Escorial commonly known as Monasterio del
Escorial which is a historical residence of the King of Spain,
in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, settled in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama,
located at about
45 kilometres northwest of Madrid.
It comprises two architectural complexes of great historical and cultural
significance: the royal monastery and La Granjilla de La Fresneda,
El Escorial was the political center of the Spanish
empire under King Philip II giving it the a position to be considered as one of the Spanish royal sites. It was attributed so
many functions like a monastery, basilica, royal palace, pantheon, library,
museum, university, school and hospital. In 1559, King Philip II appointed Juan Bautista de Toledo as the architect and
they both teamed up to design El Escorial and today, it has become, a royal palace, museum, and school.

The
Segrada Familia
This image shows us the Sagrada Familia which is a large Roman Catholic
church in the middle Barcelona and one of most visited tourist attractions in
Spain. It’s shows very beautiful artwork design and gothic style with the
different Arc styles with on top of each something resembling a little ball. The
design of this Church was in fact made by Antoni Gaudi, who was known to have
worked on this project for about 40 years, he is from Catalan and dedicated his
life on this project until he died in in 1926. We can see three grand façades on this image all attributed different name and built
at different period. Those facades are: to the East we have the Nativity façade,
to the west the Passion façade,
and the Glory façade to the South. This Church is very unique
also because of the various characters we can see in the architecture like
emaciated figures of Christ being scourged at the pillar; and Christ on the Cross., also depicting
various scenes such as Hell, Purgatory, with elements such as the Seven deadly
sins and the Seven heavenly virtues these last one more portrayed on the Glory facades. All these
different elements give credit to this magnificent Catholic Church with its beautiful
architectural design to be considered as a very unique monument attractive for
tourism. The image also shows us the beautiful location of this Church and how
the surrounding environment adds to its beauty. With the lake and the threes just
a beautiful view from this angle.
Valencia
and Madrid
The image shows us a beautiful landscape naturally made mixed to men
constructions giving from this angle a beautiful view of the city if Cuenca
which is situated between Madrid and Valencia. It is a medieval city, which as
we can see on the image was built on the steep sides of a mountain. The image
shows us multiple houses mostly called “hanging houses” built up to
the cliff edge. This particular design of this city and difference in
construction might be a fundamental reason why Cuenca is famous town in the
country of Spain. This town is simply beautifully made and has a magnificent
view on the nature wildlife with vegetations growing on those steep, cliff
giving it more splendor to attract eyes. Last thing interesting to share would
be the fact that the name Cuenca of the city derives from the Latin conca meaning
"river basin", which refers to the gorge of the rivers Jucar and Huecar.

El Castillo pyramid, Chichen
Itza
This
image shows us an Artwork. I would not know how to describe the building but its shapes look extraordinary it might have required
a lot of thinking. We can see the preciseness of the structure and the
uniqueness of the material used to make it, it has its own style, texture I
suppose because from the image it doesn’t look familiar to other type of building,
I have seen before. We can even see how there is a big spider connected to the
monument. Therefore, this image shows us one of the most iconic museums of the
city of Bilbao which even takes after its name, “Bilbao Guggenheim Museum”
. It eventually through its unique style and shape has deserved to be one of
the most extraordinary landmark of the city of Bilbao but
also of Spain itself. It was built in 1997, sheathed with titanium giving it
that so particular and differentiated aspect.

Fair Fuengirola, April 27-May 1
This image shows us people dancing in pairs of two,
it seems more like professional dancers during the “International People’s Fair Fuengirola” which takes place in April 27 until
May 1. This event is held in the city of
Fuengirola on Spain’s Costa del Sol because, there are people of about 127
different nationalities in that area making it the perfect place to host such

People of Spain at a Football/Soccer game.
This image shows us women at a football game in
Spain mostly called soccer in America but in other places of the world we call
it Football. This image shows how football is not only about men in Spain, but
women as well are very involved too. In fact, football is an important game
in the entire world and there is
always a max of people going there. But for Spain, through this picture we can
see that it is a time of excitement for Spaniards people. It is eventually the
most important sport in the country which is why many football
rivalry game takes place in the country of Spain. A bar would be a good place
for you to experience half the same excitement than Spaniards. http://www.kudosvillas.com/habits-you-may-pick-up-living-in-spain/
Traditional gathering during el Mes
de la Patria
This image shows us
Bulls running in the city of Pamplona pursuing people who are all dressed in a
theme of color varying between red white black and blue. This picture represents
one important traditional event in Spain known as EL Mes
De La Patria. During that time there is the annual Running of the Bulls
festival which comes along with parties drinking, dancing and singing to its
streets. And as we can see on the image, the whole street is very animated
people are taking videos or photos. The most amazing thing is how narrow the
street is, and we yet don’t see any one being attacked. This event is one
of the world most famous festival which is also called San Fermin. Sometimes it
could go up to 1.5 million visitors.
5 Images from the Book
