how we relax and how long we work

The first month of autumn is traditionally considered the time when everyone returns to working days after a hot summer. In September, there are no big official holidays on the calendar, so you can’t count on long “holidays”. However, there is time to take a walk in the autumn parks. And these are the weekends in September 2023 that await us.

Holidays in September 2023

Significant dates in September are not public holidays, therefore, additional days off do not apply to them. For example, Knowledge Day on September 1 is not a “red day of the calendar”, although it is celebrated every year with solemn rulers and city festivals for schoolchildren and students.

There are holidays of republican significance in September, for example, the Day of the State Emblem and the State Flag of the Republic of Crimea on the 24th. In honor of this date, patriotic actions and flash mobs are held on the peninsula.

Of course, as in any month, September was not without professional dates – you can congratulate representatives of various labor sectors in the first autumn month: from a hairdresser (on the 13th) to a gunsmith (on the 19th).

Holidays in September 2023

There are nine days off in September 2023. These are 2-3, 9-10, 16-17, 23-24 and 30 numbers. There are no weekend breaks for this month.

How many working days in September 2023

There will be 21 out of 30 working days in September 2023. This is an average. According to the norms of working time, it turns out as follows: 168 working hours for a 40-hour working week, 151.2 working hours for a 36-hour one and 100. 8 for a 24-hour one.

There are no shortened working days (these are on the eve of holidays) in September, and therefore you will have to work every day according to the full schedule.

How to profitably take a vacation in September 2023

In September, the holiday season is still going on, and many people prefer to go on vacation at the beginning of autumn every year. It seems like in the summer and in your hometown on the weekend there are a lot of interesting things, well, you can always go to the dacha again. But September is traditionally a time for travel. Let’s see how profitable it is to take a vacation in September so as not to lose money.

So, we have a standard vacation of 28 calendar days. Let’s figure out how the amount of vacation pay is calculated. It depends on the month in which you are going on vacation. The main rule to be followed is to take a vacation in the month in which there are more working days. Everything is simple here: if you work a full month, you get your fixed salary, regardless of how many working days there are in that month.

In the case of a vacation, your money will be counted differently. You will go on vacation with vacation pay in your pocket, which is calculated based on the average earnings for the last year according to a special formula. And when you return, you will receive the rest of your salary. And this will not be just half the salary, as many people think – you will be separately calculated the cost of a working day and multiplied by the number of days actually spent in the service.

Conclusion: it is profitable to go on vacation in those months in which there are more working days, so you lose less when calculating the remaining part of the salary after vacations. In September 2023, there will be 21 of them, which is quite normal, since there are no more working days per month this year.

There is one more nuance.

About

Standing on a vantage point 173 metres above the port, Montjuïc Castle commands stunning views of the city. Now a peaceable place, the memory of this fortress endures in Barcelona as a symbol of repression but also of the city’s struggles during different periods in its history. The top of Montjuïc is the ideal place for a bastion of defence, with 360º views of the city below. However, this military enclave wasn’t built until the Reapers’ War in 1640. In 1652, the fortress, which stands on the site of a watchtower, came under royal ownership and, some 50 years later, was one of the key defence points in the War of the Spanish Succession, between 1705 and 1714.

    Go by bus!

    This is a bit of a cheat, considering I never went in, but Montjuic Castle is a great starting point on a trip to Barcelona. We travelled up using the bus no 150 from Pl Espanya. I think it’s the best way to travel up as it drops you pretty much one staircase away from the castle itself. The bus is located by the little tourist office on the square, outside the Fira building.
    The bus experience is fun, we used our T-Casual cards which you punch into the machine (a kind local showed us how!), then sat down (in masks) and enjoyed the trip. Going up the windy roads you get to check out the places you’ll see on your walk down.
    The castle is big and impressive. There are some views from the road outside but if you want the classic panoramic view you’d need to pay to get in. There is very limited food available outside although there was a little cafe in the park further down the mountain. The walk back down took around 30-40 minutes if you don’t stop anywhere – if you walk down please go through Jardin Laribel because they are beautiful gardens!

    A castle with great views

    For 5 Euros to get in, this is a lovely way to spend an hour walking around drinking in the views of the Barcelona coast and skyline. You can see from the mountains to Sagrada Familia to even the airport, if you’re into that kind of stuff. You can get off your tour bus and spend 13 Euros (yes thirteen) to use the cable car to ascend the hill which takes about 5 mins, or you can be tight and walk there yourself. The cable car itself is a good photo op, but 13 Euros still seems steep. The castle has the usual information about itself history which was very informative. There is a little cafe on site where you can purchase beer and ice creams or a light bite to eat. There are also big canons on the outer wall which, with their lack of signage to the contrary, encourage you to climb all over like some kind of man-child. So itself definitely worth stopping off on your bus tour to stretch your legs even if I can’t reccomend 13 Euros for a cable car ride.

    Good views of Barcelona – 30 May 2022

    Montjuic Castle offers some nice views of the city and it is 10 euros for the entry ticket. There are many ways to reach it, we came using the public transport including the funicular and used the teleferic. There are some temporary exhibits, a small café/restaurant and washrooms inside the castle.

Cracking Views

Mar 2023

On a nice clear day you can see for miles. Access to this castle is easy by cable car (you can get a funicular to the cable car station as part of the metro system or the hop on hop off buses stop there). Great views froim the top with a number of small exhitions/historical explanations within the castle buildings. The top of the castle is very flat and easy to walk around. In the central quadrangle there is a good cafe. If it is windy this is a good place to shelter for a while.

At the pinnacle

Feb 2023

Enjoyed the excursion, beginning with funicular from Paral·lel station and continuing on the exciting cable car to the Castle.

It was a marvellous visit to a great and historic sight. A formidable bastion, the site has a lengthy history, including evidence of a lighthouse in the 1070s.

A first fortress was constructed in 1640 that two years later fired on parts of the city during an insurrection against Isabella II.

A 1995 poignant poem Balada de Montjuic by Joan Margarit is quoted and includes the line: Montjuic is the guilt in the city’s midst. Nothing could better exemplify the dark history of the castle, before, during and after the brutal Civil War.

Imprisonment, torture and executions took place here. Including notoriously of Lluís Companys, President of Catalonia from 1934 and during the Civil war, who was executed at 6.30am on 15th October 1940.

A Military Museum was here for decades but it was decided in 2008 to discontinue it. The complex is now a centre for peace, and many exhibitions within it robust walls are testament to this theme.

Fabulous panoramic vistas are here to be seen across the cityscape, from hilltop Tibidabo to the vast port district.

Last tour in Barcelona

Nov 2022

This castle is the reminesce of the military power of Catalogne in Spain and especially of Barcelone. Still today, it is intact and never be demolished partially or degraded by natural events. It is a wonderfull reinforced new castle pf XVI/XVII century where you could see Barcelone of another prospective with also a view over the near sea. I suggest to come here also to take the funicolar that links this mountain/castle with the famous Barceloneta.

Castle and cable car overpriced

Dec 2022 • Family

Nice views, but not worth the price of entry. Really not much to see inside the castle, a waste of money overall. Same views can be has from the trail around the castle.
Cable car too was overpriced and was lame for the price we paid.

What to do in Montjuic Barcelona ~ Castle, cable car, Magic Fountain

Exploring the cornucopia of attractions on this coastal rise

By Duncan Rhodes

Quick Menu

Basic History

Attractions:

– The Castle

– Olympic Ring

– Magic Fountain

– Poble Espanyol

How To Get There:

– Funicular

– Cable Car (Teleferic)

Montjuic Tours

Take the teleferic (cable car) up to the castle, wander around the Olympic Ring, call by an art museum or two, and finish with a performance at the Magic Fountain. We look at what there is do on Barcelona’s Montjuic mountain, and how to get there.

Montjuic Through The Years…

Jewish Origins

A scenic wooded hill in the South West of Barcelona, rising 173m above sea level in between Plaça Espanya and the commercial port, Montjuic gets its name from the Catalan meaning ‘Jewish Mountain’, and was once the home of the city’s Jewish community.

If you’re wondering, it is pronounced moɲ.d͡ʒuˈik.

A Cursed Castle

Thanks to its raised altitude, the hill was chosen as the site for the Castell de Montjuic fortification, which far from protecting the city in fact bombed it during the 1842 insurrection when Barcelona rose up against the Spanish government in Madrid.

The garrison continued to be a sinister symbol on high for the rest of the century and beyond, serving as a political prison and even a place of execution for dissidents such as Catalan nationalist Lluis Companys who was killed there in 1940 by Franco’s men.

The 1929 International Exposition

Today’s visitor to Montjuic is scarcely likely to feel any of these evil associations as they wonder around the mountain’s cultural treasures, surrounded by woodland, in what has become one of the most attractive areas of Barcelona. In the 1920s the hill was chosen as the site for several exciting new developments in time for the International Fair 1929.

The Palau Nacional, home of the National Art Museum (MNAC)

Amongst the new markers on Barcelona’s cultural map were the fabulous Palau Nacional, a majestic palace which now hosts the National Museum of Catalan Art, the Font Magica (Magic Fountain), an impressive waterworks which spurts to the tune of classical music and still functions today, and Poble Espanyol, a mock-Spanish village designed to showcase the various regional styles of architecture on the peninsula, which has subsequently become one of Barcelona’s most popular tourist attractions.

(Keep reading for more on all of these sights below!).

The Olympics… Finally!

Also built around that time was the Olympic Stadium, designed for the 1936 Games, however Barcelona lost out to Berlin… there were plans to stage an anti-fascist Games in their place but the Spanish Civil War put an end to that.

The Olympic Ring (Anella Olimpica) is well worth a gander…

Thankfully all that brick-lugging was worth it in the end however as Barcelona did finally get there Olympic Games – in 1992. Around this time Montjuic saw a second wave of exciting projects, as many of the constructions built for the 1929 Fair were renovated, such as the Olympic diving pool, and several more were added.

Most notably an ‘Anella Olympic’ or Olympic Ring of facilities was constructed, based around the renovated Olympic Stadium, which included the Sant Jordi Palace sports hall, the Picornell Olympic swimming pools (named after a Catalan waterbaby) and the Torre Telefonica Communications Tower, designed by starchitect Santiago Calatrava to transmit the Games on television.

Top 11 Montjuic Attractions

1. Montjuic Castle

The aforementioned fortress is not top of any Catalan’s list of favourite buildings, owing to its partisan history, however it’s fun to walk or take the cable car up to the top of the hill and explore the former military garrison. As well as checking out the parade ground and watchtower, these days you can also delve into its dungeons. Meanwhile the views over Barcelona’s commercial port are spectacular. More info here.

Opening Hours: Mon to Sun: 10am to 6pm
Ticket Price: €5
Verdict: 8/10 – Impressive fortress with fantastic vistas

2. Joan Miro Foundation

One of Catalonia’s most famous artists, Joan Miro, is celebrated at his eponymous foundation, a vast museum of over 14,000 of his works. A true Catalan, he tried to embody the national soul in his bold abstract paintings and sculptures. A must for lovers of 20th century art.

3. Poble Espanyol

It’s hard to describe this mock Spanish village in a word or two, and indeed it was scheduled to be demolished after the 1929 International Fair. However it has survived as a kind of living museum to Spanish culture, with a mix of traditional artisan shops, flamenco tablaos, restaurants, bars and even nightclubs. One thing’s for sure, there’s always something going on here! Check out their opening hours, website and more info here.

4. Olympic Ring

The Olympic Ring, or Anella Olimpica, is the name given to the assortment of buildings built or renovated for the 1992 Summer Games. You can’t go inside most of them unless there’s an event (aside from sporting occasions, a lot of big name bands play in the Stadium and the adjacent Palau Sant Jordi), but it’s a beautifully landscaped zone, with water features and colonnades, and there’s also Calatrava’s epic telecommunications needle, arguably the world’s most beautiful telecoms tower, so overall it’s a great place to walk around and take some photos. Opposite the stadium you’ll also find the Olympic and Sport Museum.

Opening Hours: Tues to Sat: 10am to 6pm; Sun: 10am to 2:30pm.

MNAC

I’m going to be brutal here and say the ground floor of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya makes for a pretty tedious slog. Lots and lots and lots of medieval religious iconography. But guess what, MNAC is actually my favourite museum in Barcelona thanks to its modern art collection exhibited on the 1st floor. Here you’ll find arresting works by Picasso, Dali, Ramon Casas and many more of Barcelona’s most influential artists of the late 19th and early 20th century (this period marked the city’s creative zenith!). There’s even some furniture by the peerless Antoni Gaudi himself. Tickets are reasonably priced at 12 euros, and you can buy them online (see button below!).

Magic Fountain

One of the most popular things to do in Barcelona with tourists is catch a performance at the Magic Fountain, which you can find at the foot of the MNAC, just near Plaça Espanya metro station (walk past the twin Venetian Towers and keep going!). From Thursday to Sunday in the summer months (Friday and Saturday in winter), there are several 15-minute shows a night, when the 3,620 water jets go berserk to a soundtrack of classic and pop hits, lit up with every colour of the rainbow. Kitsch but fun.

7. Caixa Forum

The superb Caixa Forum is a former factory-turned-exhibition space, with a never-ending rotation of fascinating exhibitions – on topics as diverse as street photography to vampires in myth and art. The original building was designed by Puig i Cadafalch, a contemporary of Gaudi’s, and its red brick splendour is a classic example of Catalan Modernista architecture. Just 5 minutes walk from Plaça Espanya, on your way to the Magic Fountain and MNAC.

8. Botanical Gardens

Montjuic is effectively one big park, sprawling over an entire hill, but parts of it are more special than others. That’s certainly the case with the delightful Botanical Gardens, which is home to well over a 1,000 species of Mediterranean flora and a welcome green oasis from the overcrowded city centre. You can find the gardens near to the Castle.

9. The German Pavilion

The Pavelló Alemany is a small showcase building designed by Mies van der Rohe (who also for designed the famous Barcelona Chair) for the 1929 International Fair. And then dismantled. And then rebuilt again. To the casual observer it might not be that exciting, but to architect buffs who know a cutting edge (at the time) edifice when they see one, this serene pavilion is a subject of fascination. The ticket price seems steep given there’s not much to engage with inside.

Mies van der Rohe Pavilion

Opening Hours: Mon to Sun: 10am to 8pm (til 6pm only, November to February)
Tickets: €7
Verdict: 6/10 – Subject of fascination for architecture buffs

GERMAN PAVILION WEBSITE

10. Teatre Grec

Another cultural attraction built for the 1929 International Fair, the wonderfully romantic Teatre Grec (Greek Theatre) is an open air amphitheatre, like those from antiquity, that hosts al fresco performances throughout the year – most notably at the Grec Festival. There’s a nice little bar-restaurant called Cafe Belgrado on the grounds if you need a little pitstop.

11. Montjuic Cemetery

On the far side of the mountain, and somewhat inaccessible, I wouldn’t recommend this cemetery to anyone with limited time in Barcelona. There are other more interesting, and much more convenient, sites to visit. Nonetheless, if you do have time, it’s an atmospheric place, overlooking the sea, with many marvellous, richly-decorated tombs. Several famous dignitaries are laid to rest here, including Lluis Companys, the president of Catalonia who was executed at Montjuic Castle, and the artists Joan Miro (whose museum I already mentioned!), Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusinol.

Barcelona Card: Save Money!

For anyone keen to explore the many treasures of Montjuic, I’d strongly consider investing in a Barcelona Card, the city’s official tourist pass. The card grants you free access to Joan Miro Foundation (€13), MNAC (€12), Olympic Museum (€5.80), Botanical Gardens (€3.50) and CaixaForum (€6) – so over €40 of attractions which you can do in a single day on Montjuic. After that there’s still the Picasso Museum (€12), History Museum (€7), Egyptian Museum (€12) and many more to visit for free (full list here). The Card also includes free public transport, including free metro ride from the airport. They are valid from 3 to 5 days, activated from when you first use them. You can buy the card securely via Get Your Guide.

How Do I Get to Montjuic?

Montjuic is a massive hill that can be accessed any number of ways, especially if you’re willing to hike a bit, but to all intents and purposes there are two practical ways of getting here.

The first is by the Montjuic funicular train that leaves from Paral-lel metro station, and which takes you to the side of the mountain with the castle, and places you within comfortable distance of the fortress, Olympic Ring and Joan Miro Foundation.

The second is from Plaça Espanya metro station, which drops you off near the Magic Fountain and the National Museum of Catalan Art (MNAC).

If you take the funicular, afterwards the teleferic (cable car) will give you a boost if you want to make it all the way to the castle.

Meanwhile the tourist bus is handy for those who want to cram a lot in, as the attractions are spaced a fair bit apart. More info on each below.

Montjuic Funicular

This funicular is a one track, one train system, that shuttles tourists and locals up from Paral-lel metro station, towards many of the cultural treasures awaiting on the leafy slopes of this wonderful hill. It saves you from traipsing up through the Poble Sec district and probably getting lost on the confusing winding paths at the foot of the slopes. I’d highly recommend it, it will save you a tonne of time and energy. It leaves every 10 minutes or so and the journey time is only 2 or 3 minutes. If you’ve already ridden the metro to Paral-lel you can ride the funicular as an extension to your metro journey, at no additional cost. If not you need to buy a single metro ticket.

Montjuic Cable Car

After taking the Funicular half way up the hill, the Teleferic de Montjuic Cable Car will finish the job, hoisting you up the slope right up to the Montjuic Castle. Riding this ski-style carriage is considered an attraction unto itself, and a popular one at that, so you might want to secure your tickets in advance. From this side of the mountain you can look over the whole city, as well as down over Barcelona’s sprawling commercial port. Plus, of course, you visit the castle.

BUY CABLE CAR TICKETS

Metro to Plaça Espanya

To access the attractions on the other side of the mountain take the metro to Placa Espanya and approach between the 47m high twin Venetian Towers. Here you will find the Magic Fountain, the MNAC and you should also head to Placa Espanya if to visit Poble Espanyol or Caixa Forum.

Tourist Bus

The red route of Barcelona’s Tourist Bus makes a total of 7 stops on Montjuic, which are, in order, Caixa Forum / Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion, Poble Espanyol, MNAC, Olympic Ring, Joan Miro Foundation, Teleferic de Montjuic (Cable Car), Miramar Jardins Costa i Llobera. In fact you can access everything on our list of 11 top attractions with the bus, except the cemetery. For the castle, you would need to get off at the teleferic stop and take the cable car, or walk up. You can buy tickets via Get Your Guide.

BUY TOURIST BUS TICKETS

Montjuic Tours

View Tour by Barcelona eBikes

Take Barcelona eBikes “View Tour” and you’ll leave the flat Old Town and power your way effortlessly up the slopes of Montjuic, via the winding paths of the cactus gardens, up to the mirador for panoramic vistas over the port, Mediterranean and entire cityscape! After that you’ll take in some of the mountains other top attractions, like the Caixa Forum and palatial MNAC, all without breaking into a sweat, thanks to eBike’s electric power assisted pedalling! A great way to cover everything Montjuic has to offer in just a few hours.

National Palace of Barcelona – Barcelona ТМ

National Palace of Barcelona may at first seem like a majestic old building. The sprawling building, which gave shelter in its depths to the National Art Museum of Catalonia, was rebuilt only in 1929 for the International Exhibition.

History of creation

The palace is located at the top of Montjuic, and the panoramas from this point are absolutely amazing. The museum is surrounded by a number of other museums in Barcelona, ​​which allows visitors to spend a sufficient amount of time on the mountain, noting the richness of the cultural heritage of the National Palace.

The MNAC proved to be the true flagship of the 1929 Exposition, attracting people’s interest.

Inspired by the palaces of the royal families of Europe, the National Palace of Barcelona was designed by the architects Enric Catala y Catala and Pedro Cendoya Oscos.

The Palau Nacional recently underwent a restoration by the architects Gae Aulenti and Josep Benedit, while the striking Oval Hall was restored in 1992 and opened at the same time as the Summer Olympics were held in the Catalan capital.

National Art Museum of Catalonia in Palau Nacional

Since 1934, the National Palace of Barcelona has housed the National Art Museum of Catalonia. And even though you are not an admirer of fine art and sculpture, we strongly advise you to make the ascent to the palace and admire the amazing panoramas of Barcelona.

There is also the main fountain of Barcelona, ​​which is more beautiful than ever in the evening hours:

  1. This fountain is also called magical (cat. Font màgica de Montjuïc).
  2. It was erected in Barcelona in 1929, and the musical accompaniment was tuned in 1990.
  3. When it gets dark outside, the fountain is incredibly picturesquely illuminated.
  4. It has 3620 jets.
  5. Approximately 2.5 million visitors come to see it every year.

Montjuic. Spain in Russian – all about life in Spain

Barcelona is first of all a unique combination of mountains and sea. On the south side of the port rises the hill of Montjuic (Montjuic) with a height of 173 meters. The first Iberian settlers, the Laietans, settled here, and the Romans called this mountain “Mons Jovis” in honor of the god Jupiter. The modern name “Montjuic” comes from the phrase “Jewish mountain”, on the slope of this mountain there was once a Jewish cemetery, later the top of the hill served as an observation post for the enemy from the sea.

Montjuic has always been of strategic importance for the defense of Barcelona. In 1640, a military fortress was built on top, which served as an observation post, and in the early 1960s, the Military Historical Museum was opened in it, which displays ancient weapons and exhibits related to the Lepanto naval battle and Catalan and Arab history. From the loopholes of the fortress there is an excellent view of the city and its surroundings.

Montjuïc has been completely transformed since then. Today, on the northern slope of the hill is the cable car station – the most spectacular way to climb the mountain and take a walk right above the port of Barcelona. Montjuic is full of treasures: it has its own museums, palaces, monuments, gardens and even a whole mini-city – Pueblo Español, the “Spanish Village”. On the slopes of the famous hill are the National Palace, the Ethnological and Archaeological Museums, the Greek Amphitheater, the Botanical Garden, the Olympic Ring, the Center for the Study of Contemporary Art (Miro Foundation) and the luxurious Miramar mansion overlooking the coast of Barcelona.

The 20th century was significant for Montjuïc, which underwent changes in preparation for the 1992 Olympics. It was decided to build new sports facilities and transform the old ones. Among the most symbolic is the so-called Olympic Ring, which, being an example of modern architecture, grows out of ancient buildings. From the hill you can see two modern skyscrapers built for the Olympics: the Arts Hotel with a metal frame that seems to be deliberately left in sight and the Mapfre Tower with a fully glazed structure. These are the tallest buildings in Spain. Solemn opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, as well as athletics competitions were held on Mount Montjuic, at the Olympic Stadium. Today there is an Olympic gallery dedicated to the Olympics 1992 years and the history of the Games since ancient times. Near the stadium rises the Sant Jordi Sports Palace, designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki and used for exhibitions, sports competitions, concerts and other events. Nearby is the Olympic swimming pool of Bernat Picornell.

One of the most attractive and popular corners on the hill of Montjuic is the Spanish Village complex, designed in 1929 by architects Xavier Nogues, Miguel Utrillo and Ramon Raventos on the occasion of the World Exhibition. This miniature town presents the architectural styles of different regions of Spain, and squares, streets, houses accurately reflect the characteristic features of the Gothic and Renaissance in the cities of Catalonia, Aragon, Andalusia, Galicia, Castile, Balearic Islands, Navarra and Extremadura. In addition to the museum in the house of Pallares in the “Spanish Village” there are many shops where you can find products of local crafts. Craftsmen create real works of art from ceramics, wrought iron, glass and wood right before our eyes. At night, young people flock to the town to visit bars and discos located right in the old buildings.

Plaza de España became the center of the World Exhibition in 1929. From the side of the square, you can see the National Palace, which is located on the hillside of Montjuic. The palace was built by the engineer Carles Buigas also in 1929 for the World Exhibition and served as the Pavilion of Electricity during its days. A “singing” fountain was installed in front of it, which eventually turned into one of the symbols of Barcelona. In the evenings, amazing light and music performances are arranged near the walls of the Palace: nine spotlights, the number of letters in the word “Barcelona”, installed in the National Palace, illuminate the cascades of water in different colors, creating a completely mesmerizing spectacle and attracting thousands of spectators.

The palace covers an area of ​​31,000 sq. m, four bell towers soar up to the sky, inside there are numerous halls on 2 floors and a huge assembly hall for 20 thousand people, where especially solemn events in the life of the city are celebrated. Since 1934, the Art Museum of Catalonia has been operating here, in 1990 it was renamed the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC). All types and genres of art are presented here: painting, sculpture, applied art, photography, graphics, engraving, poster and numismatics. This museum contains an extensive collection of medieval Catalan art – both Gothic and Romanesque: wooden sculpture, bas-reliefs and valuable altarpieces. You can make a unique overview of the currents of neoclassicism, romanticism, realism, modernism and avant-garde.

As you can see, the “magic mountain” of Montjuic is a real box full of surprises. Everyone will find here something especially interesting, valuable, curious and useful for themselves.

Cool party vibe, Art Deco-inspired interiors with a modern boutique edge

Designed by the acclaimed Barcelona designer Lazaro Rosa-Violan, the Pulitzer’s light-filled, airy interiors are imaginatively decorated and utterly inviting. The ornate front desk is made from gilt-edged panels taken from a Sicilian church. The Art Deco-inspired public spaces are done in black, brown, and white, and have objets d’art, framed prints, and photos, fresh flowers, and Asian accents such as Chinese lanterns and antique red Chinese trunks. The library is decked out with black lacquered bookshelves, zebra print rugs, and soft white leather sofas. Rooms continue the same decorative feel, with hardwood floors, wood furniture, plush beds, and artwork. The Pulitzer draws a young hip crowd to its buzzy party vibe and rooftop bar, but older travelers can rest assured that the hotel’s atmosphere is not overbearing and that rooms are quiet.

    Rent an apartment in Barcelona, ​​or Feel like a real Spaniard

    The main questions that concern a traveler who first came to the capital of Catalonia:

    • How to combine excursions with a beach holiday?
    • Where is the best place to rent an apartment in Barcelona?
    • Security of the traveler and his belongings

    Let’s try to talk about them from the point of view that a tourist came to Barcelona for a week or more, and not just popped in for a couple of days. Therefore, one of the first issues, the solution of which does not require delay, is renting an apartment.

    Without going into a general comparison between a rented apartment and a hotel (here everyone chooses, no doubt, on their own), we note the following qualities inherent in private apartments:

    • privacy from prying eyes, ideal place for romantics and families with children;
    • if you choose an old building, you can feel like a real Catalan;
    • the ability to cook from products bought in markets and supermarkets – live the simple life of ordinary Spaniards, with all the pluses and minuses thereof

    Where to choose apartment options and how to book

    It is often advised to choose options on booking (www.booking.com). However, this is not entirely correct advice – this service is more intended for those who want to stay in hotels. Therefore, in order to choose an apartment for yourself, we recommend using specialized sites. It is desirable, nevertheless, on Spanish sites (http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk, http://www.niumba.com/ and others), on Russians they will give you more money (“We are Russians, we do not deceive each other” – from to /f Brother 2).

    Separately, I would like to note the site https://www.airbnb.ru – here you can choose accommodation with the owners, but this is mainly for young people and singles.

    Correspondence with the owner occurs according to the following algorithm:

    • Enter a request for a price, you will also find out if the rented housing is free.
    • Specify all the important details (is the bus stop far, is there a baby cot, the availability of dishes, and so on), and bargain (mandatory!).
    • Negotiate the price and check the invoice.
    • Check if the payment has arrived, take the details of the person who will hand over the keys to you (if possible, let them meet you at the airport), write down all the necessary phone numbers.
    • Just before the trip to Barcelona, ​​remind yourself once again.
    • Feel free to ask the owner for any little things – how to get there, what restaurants he can advise, and so on.

    A small note. Cleaning and change of bed linen is not provided for accommodation in private apartments, but you can negotiate with the owner separately. However, often the sites provide for cleaning after your departure (30-50 euros), you can not pay them by agreeing with the landlord on self-cleaning of the premises – the Spaniards look at such things calmly and with understanding. There is only 20 minutes to do there, but the saved finances can be spent on fruits and sangria.

    Suburb or center – where to rent an apartment in Barcelona?

    Many, trying to combine a beach holiday and a sightseeing part of the trip, tend to rent inexpensive apartment options on the outskirts of Barcelona. In our opinion, this is somewhat wrong. Barcelona is a city of crazy excursions, ingenious creations of Gaudí and magnificent museums. Spending time (and therefore money) on subway and bus trips is unreasonable. A beach holiday in Barcelona is quite possible – the beaches are simply magnificent, but it is unlikely that you will be able to sit near the sea all the time allotted for travel, most likely you will get to the beach a couple of times and then not for long.

    Do not forget the fact that life is just beginning in Barcelona at night, and it is much more pleasant to get to your home in 10-15 minutes of a leisurely night promenade than to overpay for a taxi.

    After collecting the opinions of experienced travelers, we give the following advice. It is better to settle in the Old Town in the following areas: Born (Born), Barri Goti (Barri Gotick), Guitat Vella, (Guitat Vella) and Eixample (L’Eixample). Other areas are much further from the historic city center and less suitable for the hiking trails that the Catalan capital is famous for. On the map, these are areas that are located to the right of the Columbus monument towards the center.

    A separate place to stay is El Raval. More about him.

    Authentic Barcelona atmosphere

    Renting a house in this area is much cheaper than in neighboring areas. Proximity to the center and excellent nightlife with a variety of establishments in various directions. An amazing amount of mixed ethnicities and geeks of all stripes. Very inexpensive cafes, bars and restaurants – the area is absolutely non-tourist.

    But on the other hand, there is an increased level of petty crime, old buildings with poor repairs and broken streets in places. The lower part of the Raval, near the port, is actually a red-light district, with drugs and other delights of nightlife.

    The authorities are doing a lot to bring the area in order, but the process is long and difficult.

    Advice: if you decide to find an apartment in this area, which is not easy, but soaked with the real Barcelona spirit, then choose an apartment for rent in new buildings, which are mainly owned by banks. So you can save money and get good housing without sparking wiring and falling off plaster.

    Safe holidays in Barcelona

    The personal safety of the traveler in Barcelona is not at risk, except in cases that are characterized by one phrase “it asked for it.” And then they will still try to disperse in peace. A tourist in Barcelona is groomed and carefully monitored for his safety.

    His personal belongings are another matter. Of course, they are also loved, but not in the hands of travelers. Petty street crime in Barcelona is found at every turn: cameras are torn out of hands, climb into hotel rooms and apartments. So pay special attention to the safety of personal belongings and electronics. Put it in a safe, close it with combination locks in suitcases, give it to the owners for safekeeping.

    Conclusions

    Renting private apartments in Barcelona, ​​especially through well-established sites, is a safe and quite profitable business from a financial point of view.

    Ruins of Emporium

    What remains of one of Spain’s earliest cities is enough to paint the picture of a thriving market town with its own places of worship, salt factories and irrigation, art, palaces for the wealthy and what would have been stone shanties for the poor. Greek traders were sailing around this area known today as Empúries as early as the seventh century BC before they decided to establish a settlement a century later and take full advantage of their trading links with native inhabitants of the peninsula.

    The Greeks called their city Emporium, meaning “market,” and it thrived for some 300 years until the Second Punic War. When Roman general Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio arrived at Emporium by boat with his troops seeking to cut off land access to his foes the Carthaginians, he ushered in a long period of Romanization on the Iberian Peninsula. By 195 BC, the Romans were building their own city adjacent to the Greeks’ Emporium. They renamed the site Emporiae, and for roughly 100 years it was occupied until the more accessible ports at Tarragona and Barcelona led the Romans to abandon it. The remaining Roman inhabitants moved a short way north and built their village of Sant Martí d’Empíries. Fishermen from that village would go on to found L’Escala, now the largest town in the area, during the 16th century.

    With a little imagination, Emporium and Emporiae come to life before your eyes against the backdrop of the sparkling blue Mediterranean. Walkways make visiting the ruins a breeze, and well-placed placards detail in English and Spanish exactly what each space was used for. Sites include floor mosaics, public baths, defensive walls, temples and an amphitheater. Don’t miss the Archaelogy Museum of Catalonia at Empúries, which showcases objects uncovered during the excavations and offers a glimpse into Greek and Roman life.

    The Site Where Two Ancient Civilizations Meet

    On Spain’s magnificent Costa Brava, in the province of Girona, an invisible time portal beckons you to enter and explore the region’s distant past. The Empuries Archeological Site presents the remains of the Ancient Greek city of Emporium and the Roman city of Emporiae, which for a time existed peacefully side-by-side. This was the gateway through which the Greek and Roman empires introduced their culture to the Iberian Peninsula.

    Empuries is located approximately 40 minutes from Girona and approximately 2 hours from Barcelona by car. A bus or train will also get you there, making it an ideal day trip. If you stay in either city, you can book a guided bus tour, but this will limit your time at Empuries and allow you less flexibility.

    You don’t have to be a lover of history or archeology to be drawn in by the ancient siren song of Empuries. All you need is a healthy dose of curiosity and these nine reasons.

    Disclaimer: Our visit to Empuries was hosted by Patronat de Turisme Costa Brava, Girona. All opinions are entirely my own.

    1. A One-Of-A-Kind Experience

    Overlooking a postcard-worthy stretch of Mediterranean beach on the Gulf of Roses lies Empuries. This archeological site is the only one of its kind in the region where both Greek and Roman settlements can be explored and compared side-by-side.

    Allow 90 minutes to 2 hours — longer if you like — to wander through the two sets of ruins and the small museum. A map of the site, as well as audio guides in an impressive number of languages, is included in the 6-euro admission fee.

    2. The Greek City

    Greek traders came ashore on the Iberian Peninsula in the sixth century B.C. and founded a commercial settlement.

    Looking at the remains of the town’s defensive walls, it seems remarkable that they symbolized the town’s security as far back as the first century B.C.

    Among the remnants of the civilization that once thrived there, you will recognize a temple, the public square and market, and a second-century B. C. drainage system.

    Walk down to the beach to see the remains of the ancient port jetty. Then fast-forward over 2,000 years, and picture the arrival of the Olympic flame on Spanish soil on its way to Barcelona for the 1992 Summer Olympics.

    3. The Roman City

    The larger and more heavily excavated of the two sections of Empuries is the Roman city, which dates from the first century B.C. to the first century A.D.

    The town has a typical Roman look and feel to it: rectangular in shape, laid out in a grid, and walled. You will find Roman baths, the amphitheater, the forum, and some of the city’s shops. It’s easy to imagine this city teeming with life and activity: chariots rolling down the streets, citizens going about their daily lives, and Roman soldiers everywhere.

    Simon Lock

    4. Stunning Mosaics

    In the Roman section of Empuries stands what once was the home of a wealthy citizen. The large 2,000-year-old house is remarkable in its own right, but the mosaics take center stage.

    In this and other Roman houses, mosaic treasures have been painstakingly excavated and restored. Geometric designs, as well as depictions of nature and mythological scenes, can be admired onsite and in the museum.

    Simon Lock

    5. Archeology Museum Of Catalonia At Empuries

    The Archeology Museum of Catalonia at Empuries, located between the two city sites, houses exhibits that offer a glimpse of life in the ancient Greek and Roman cities. You can view artifacts uncovered during the excavations, as well as videos telling the story of life in Empuries in an informative and entertaining style.

    The museum contains a fascinating selection of ancient objects to stir the imagination: coins, household items, utensils, jewelry, children’s toys, mosaics, and paintings. The exhibits add additional form and dimension to the story told by the ruins outside.

    Access to the museum for people with reduced mobility is currently limited.

    6. Empuries Is Family And Dog Friendly

    A visit to Empuries is an ideal multi-generational family outing. Children will be fascinated by the exhibits in the museum, the ruins, and the story behind them. However, they need to understand that climbing on the ancient structures is a definite no-no for safety and site preservation.

    The 6-euro admission charge is a bargain, but there are reduced rates for seniors, teachers, and other groups. Also, children under 16 and people with disabilities, along with their companions, are admitted free, making Empuries affordable for families.

    Paved walkways make navigating the ruins easy, and well-placed signage in English and Spanish describes how each structure was used.

    Some parts of the Roman city are not accessible for people in wheelchairs or who have difficulty walking. Some of the terrain is uneven and involves stairs. A clearly marked designated route is available for visitors in wheelchairs or with reduced mobility.

    There is no onsite parking, but nearby facilities are affordable and sometimes — depending on the time of year — free. Onsite parking is available for people with reduced mobility at the Visitor Reception Center.

    Dogs are welcome at the archeological site as long as they are on a leash. However, you can’t bring Fido — unless he is a service dog — into the museum.

    7. Empuries Is A Living Archeological Site

    By the third century A.D., Empuries had been completely abandoned. Over time, all traces of the once-great cities slowly surrendered to the sand.

    In 1908, archeologists discovered the ruins at Empuries and began to unearth its long-hidden treasures. To date, 25 percent of the site has been uncovered.

    Excavations and research are ongoing. Each time you return, you will see the most recent discoveries. Many enthusiasts from Spain and other European countries make an annual visit to Empuries to see the newest archeological finds.

    8. Beaches

    If the weather is fine, make sure to bring along your swimwear and a towel. Then go for a walk. You will find quiet, natural beaches and coves where you can indulge yourself in the soft, warm sands and sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. Consider doing some snorkeling near the ancient jetty.

    Getting a little too hot? Take some off-the-beach time to cool off and picnic in the pine forest that lies between the medieval town of Sant Martí de Empuries and the jetty. You can relax while the kids play in the park.

    9. The Village Of Sant Marti D’Empuries

    The ruins of the original sixth-century B.C. Greek settlement lie under the village of Sant Marti d’Empuries. This 10th-century village makes a perfect ending to a day of time travel and beaching.

    The village center has been tastefully restored, and the late gothic church is also worth a visit for one final history fix.

    In Sant Marti d’Empuries, you’ll find a variety of restaurants serving traditional Catalonian specialties as well as some innovative dishes making the most of the area’s glorious bounty.

    Pro Tip

    Spring and fall are ideal seasons to visit Empuries. You’ll miss the summer heat and crowds, as well as the unpredictable winter weather. Also, no matter what time of year you visit, there is no shade to be found among the ruins, so be sure to bring a hat and copious amounts of sunscreen.

    State –
    ancient public education and
    means the territory occupied
    settled population, subject to
    the same power. About the essence
    state structure
    already thought by ancient thinkers.
    For example, the Greek philosopher
    Aristotle saw in the state
    ultimate natural form
    hostel, important for a person,
    which by its very nature
    “a political being”. More
    Moreover, he considered the state
    “environment quite happy
    life.”

    In the Middle Ages and in
    later time in concept
    “state” began
    to invest contractual beginnings between
    man and sovereignty. IN
    natural state of man
    not enough wrong, believed
    English thinkers of the 17th century John
    Milton and John Locke, while providing
    them, which he finds in
    state,
    approved under the contract
    for this purpose.

    True son of the age
    enlightenment, Jean Jacques Rousseau saw
    the meaning of the formation of the state in
    respect for the interests of each
    citizen. It is necessary for people to
    “find a join form that
    would protect and provide
    the identity and property of each member
    society so that everyone
    united with others, obeyed
    would only remain to himself
    be as free as
    before. ” “Freedom is not
    alienable” – basic provision
    Rousseau.

    Another 8-9 thousand years
    ago people began to move to
    sedentary lifestyle. Appeared
    agriculture and the first domestic
    animals. There was a so-called
    neolithic revolution, which
    brought people to new conditions
    life. Agriculture could already
    provide a person with enough
    food, so hunting and
    gathering retreated for a second
    plan. There was a division of labor
    between members of the same group
    at the head stood the leaders who ruled
    communities of people. With the passage
    time there was a need for
    public buildings, and began
    construction
    palaces, temples, fortresses.
    Writing and the beginnings arose
    arithmetic, astronomy and medicine.

    A huge role in
    the rise of early civilizations
    rivers played. The river is not only
    waterway, but also a stable harvest,
    it is no coincidence that in those distant
    times people began to build
    canals and dams. But since
    scattered tribes can’t handle
    there were major reclamation
    buildings, groups of farmers
    united. First
    public entities
    arose in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and
    Euphrates, where the flowering
    culture.

    Modern
    archaeologists and historians distinguish
    several conditions for
    to name ancient communities of people
    state. The first one is not
    less than five thousand people
    worshiping the same gods.
    Power is equipped with apparatus
    officials, and certainly
    writing that exists in any
    form. Large buildings – palaces and
    temples are also a must
    statehood. Population
    divided by specialty
    everyone could no longer do everything for themselves
    yourself and your family. So along with
    priests and soldiers appeared
    artists, philosophers, builders,
    blacksmiths, weavers, potters, reapers,
    merchants and so on.

    Ancient empires,
    played a role in history
    humanity, possessed all
    the conditions listed. But
    in addition, they were characterized
    long political
    stability and well-established
    communication to the most remote
    outskirts, without which it is impossible to manage
    huge territories. All
    great empires had great
    armies: the passion for conquest was
    almost manic. And overlords
    such states were sometimes sought
    impressive success, subordinating
    vast lands on which
    gigantic empires arose. But
    time passed, and the giant descended from
    historical scene.

    First Empire

    Egypt. 3000-30
    BC

    This empire
    existed for three millennia
    longer than any other.
    The state arose, according to the last
    data, more than 3000 years BC, and
    when did the merger take place
    Upper and Lower Egypt (2686-2181),
    formed the so-called
    Ancient kingdom. The whole life of the country
    was associated with the Nile River, with its
    fertile valley and delta
    Mediterranean Sea. Ruled by Egypt
    pharaoh (the word means warehouse
    food), sat on the ground
    governors and officials, and in general
    public life in the country
    quite developed (see “Science and
    life” No. 1, 1997 – “Not yet
    the stone age is over” – and No. 5, 1997
    – “Ancient Egypt. Pyramid
    power”). To the elite of society
    officers, scribes,
    surveyors and local priests. Pharaoh
    was considered a living deity, and all
    major sacrifices
    did it himself.

    The Egyptians fanatically believed in
    afterlife, were dedicated to her
    cultural objects and majestic
    buildings – pyramids and temples.
    Hieroglyphic-laden walls
    burial chambers told about
    life of the ancient state
    more than other archaeological
    finds.

    The history of Egypt splits into two
    period. The first – from the foundation to 332
    BC, when the country
    conquered by Alexander the Great. AND
    second period – reign
    Ptolemaic dynasty – descendants
    one of Alexander’s generals
    Macedonian. In 30 BC
    Egypt was conquered by a younger and
    powerful empire – Roman.

    Cradle
    Western culture

    Greece. 700-146
    BC

    Southern Balkan
    people settled on the peninsula
    tens of thousands of years ago. But only with
    7th century BC, one can say
    about Greece as a large, homogeneous in
    cultural education,
    albeit with reservations: country
    was an alliance
    city-states united
    at the time of an external threat, as,
    for example, to reflect the Persian
    aggression.

    Culture, religion
    and above all language were those
    the framework within which
    the history of this country. In 510 to
    new era most cities
    freed from sovereignty
    kings. In Athens, it soon became
    rule democracy but right
    votes were only
    male citizens.

    State
    device, culture and science of Greece
    became a model and inexhaustible
    source of wisdom for almost everyone
    later states of Europe. Already
    Greek scholars questioned
    about life and the universe. Exactly at
    Greece laid the foundations for such
    sciences like medicine, mathematics,
    astronomy and philosophy. Greek
    culture has ceased to develop,
    when the Romans took over the country.
    The decisive battle took place in 146
    year BC near the city of Corinth,
    when the armies of the Greek Achaean
    unions were broken.

    Dominion
    “King of kings”

    Persia. 600-331
    years BC

    In the 7th century BC
    Christ’s nomadic Iranian tribes
    the highlands revolted against
    Assyrian dominion.
    The winners founded the state
    Mussel, which is then together with
    Babylonia and other neighboring
    countries has become a global
    power. By the end of the 6th century BC
    she, led by Cyrus II, and then
    his successors, who belonged to
    Achaemenid dynasty, continued
    conquest. In the west of the land of the empire
    out to the Aegean Sea
    in the east, its border ran along
    the Indus River, in the south, in Africa, possessions
    reached the first rapids of the Nile.
    (Most of Greece was occupied in
    time of the Greco-Persian War
    troops of the Persian king Xerxes
    480 BC.)

    The monarch was called “King
    kings”, he stood at the head of the army and
    was the supreme judge. The possessions were
    divided into 20 satrapies, where
    the king’s viceroy ruled in his name.
    Subjects spoke four
    languages: ancient Persian,
    Babylonian, Elamite and Aramaic.

    In 331 BC Alexander
    Macedonian defeated the hordes of Darius II
    – the last of the dynasty
    Achaemenids. So ended
    history of this great empire.

    Peace and love –
    for all

    India. 322-185 years
    BC

    Traditions dedicated to history
    India and its rulers, very
    sketchy. Few
    information refers to the time
    when the founder of the religious
    teachings of the Buddha (566-486 BC),
    the first real person in history
    India.

    In the first half of the 1st millennium before
    new era in the northeastern part
    India, many small
    states. One of them – Magadha –
    rose thanks to successful
    conquest wars. King Ashoka,
    belonged to the Maurya dynasty,
    expanded the domain so much that
    they occupied almost the entire present
    India, Pakistan and part
    Afghanistan. The king was obeyed
    administrative officials
    management and a strong army.
    At first, Ashoka was reputed to be cruel
    commander, but, becoming
    a follower of the Buddha, preached
    peace, love and tolerance and received
    nickname “The Converted”. This
    the king built hospitals, fought with
    deforestation, and for
    his people held a soft
    politics. His decrees that have come down to us,
    carved on rocks, columns, –
    ancient, accurately dated
    epigraphic monuments of India,
    talking about management
    state, social
    relationships, religion and culture.

    Before his ascension Ashoka
    divided the population into four castes.
    The first two were privileged
    – priests and warriors. Invasion
    Bactrian Greeks and internal
    strife in the country led the empire to
    decay.

    Start over
    than two thousand years of history

    China. 221-210
    years BC

    In the period called in history
    China Zhanyu, many years of struggle,
    led by many small
    kingdoms, brought victory to the kingdom
    Qin. It united the conquered
    land and in 221 BC
    formed the first Chinese
    empire led by Qin Shih Huangdi.
    The Emperor made reforms
    strengthened the young state.
    The country was divided into districts
    established military garrisons for
    maintaining order and peace,
    road network was built and
    channels, for officials it was
    introduced the same education, and
    throughout the kingdom there was a single
    monetary system. Monarch approved
    the order in which people are obliged
    were working where
    demanded interests and needs
    states. Even such a
    curious law: all wagons
    should have equal distance
    between the wheels to keep them moving
    along the same tracks. In the same
    reign was established great
    wall of china: it connected
    built earlier by northern
    kingdoms separate sections
    defensive structures.

    Qing Shi Huang died in 210. But
    subsequent dynasties left
    intact foundations of construction
    empires founded by its founder.
    In any case, the last
    dynasty of emperors of China
    ceased to exist in
    the beginning of our century, and the borders
    states remain
    virtually unchanged to this day
    day.

    Army,
    guardian of order

    Rom. 509 to
    AD – 330 AD

    Romans in 509 BC
    Etruscan king expelled from Rome
    Tarquinius the Proud. Rome has become
    republic. By 264 BC
    her troops took over everything
    the Apennine Peninsula. After
    this began the expansion in all
    cardinal directions, and by 117 AD
    the state extended its borders
    from west to east – from
    Atlantic Ocean to
    Caspian Sea, and from south to north –
    from the rapids of the Nile and the coast of the whole
    North Africa to the borders with
    Scotland and downstream
    Danube.

    Rome was ruled annually for 500 years
    elected two consuls and a senate,
    in charge of state
    property and finance, foreign
    politics, military affairs and
    religion.

    30 BC Rome
    becomes an empire led by
    Caesar, but in essence – the monarch.
    The first Caesar was Augustus. Big
    and a well-trained army
    participated in the construction
    huge network of roads, their common
    length – more than 80000
    kilometers. beautiful roads
    made the army very mobile and
    allowed to quickly reach the most
    remote corners of the empire.
    Keep the country from falling apart
    helped and appointed by Rome in
    provinces proconsuls – governors and
    officials loyal to Caesar. This
    contributed to the settlements of the soldiers,
    who have served, located
    in conquered lands.

    Roman state, as opposed to
    many other giants of the past,
    fully consistent with the concept
    “empire”. It also became
    a model for future applicants
    for world domination. European
    countries have inherited a lot from
    the culture of Rome as well as the principles
    building parliaments and
    political parties.

    Revolts of peasants, slaves and
    urban plebs, all
    the growing pressure of the German and
    other barbarian tribes from the north
    forced Emperor Constantine I
    move the state capital to
    the city of Byzantium, later named
    Constantinople. It happened in
    330 AD. After Constantine
    Roman Empire in fact
    divided into two – Western and
    Eastern, which was ruled by two
    emperor.

    Christianity –
    stronghold of the empire

    Byzantium.
    330-1453 AD

    Byzantium emerged from the eastern
    remnants of the Roman Empire. capital
    became Constantinople, founded
    emperor Constantine I in 324-330
    years on the site of the colony of Byzantium
    (hence the name
    states). From now on
    Byzantium began to separate
    bowels of the Roman Empire. Big
    role in the life of this state
    played the christian religion,
    become ideological
    foundation of an empire and stronghold
    Orthodoxy.

    Byzantium existed for more than
    thousands years. his political and
    she achieved military power
    during the reign of the emperor
    Justinian I, 6th century AD.
    It was then, having a strong army,
    Byzantium conquered the western and
    southern lands of the former Roman Empire.
    But within these limits the empire
    has existed for a short time. In 1204
    year under attack
    Crusaders fell Constantinople,
    which is no longer
    rose, and in 1453 the capital
    Byzantium was captured by the Ottoman Turks.

    the name “Islam”
    contributed to the creation in Arabia

    However, soon as a result

    vast Muslim empire
    Caliphate. On the presented map

    conquests of the Arabs who fought under
    the green banner of Islam. In the East
    the Caliphate included the western
    part of India. Arab world left
    indelible marks in history

    3 years with the assistance of Kortin Hermanos » – a machine-building company dealing with pipes and taps. The choice fell on Karl – a well-educated manager who speaks Spanish, French and English, who sought to conquer the world. The young man who arrived from Frankfurt was the eldest son of a poor but well-to-do family, a representative of the new liberal Germany that had been formed thanks to Chancellor Bismarck a few years ago.

    Faust immediately confirmed the correctness of the choice in his favor and, in a short time, became the manager of the Spanish branch of Cortin Hermanos. Few people knew that the young German, an excellent businessman, was fascinated by plants and insects, the forest and the sea as a subject of deep scientific interest in the natural environment. He observed nature since childhood, and we can trace this in later letters: sometimes he liked to recall conversations with his grandfather – a philanthropist, a pleasant person in communication, filled with the folk wisdom of local peasants. Faust was fascinated by the song baumlieder and other songs about the forest performed by his grandfather – with a cigar in his mouth and a glass of house wine in his hand. Probably, interest in nature was strengthened even more at the age of 10, when his work on the cabbage butterfly was recognized as the best in school, and the very young Faust accepted congratulations from his teacher.

    For a very short time, Faust was fascinated by Spain and had no intention of leaving it. He made friends fairly quickly and established himself so firmly that over the years he began to feel more like a local than a native of Germany. This integration was strengthened by the fact that in 1908 in Barcelona, ​​Faust, together with his countryman Wilhelm Kammann, founded his own company Faust and Kammann, which still exists today.

    Starting from this moment, we can trace how the 30-year-old Karl became fully involved in the social and cultural life of Barcelona, ​​and later of the whole of Catalonia. He was a member of numerous German cultural communities, participated in sports events, was one of the first members of the Barcelona Swimming Club (and was even briefly its leader), was a member of FC Barcelona, ​​the Travelers Club and many other associations. In all these areas, he met the most interesting representatives of the wealthy German diaspora of the city from the world of sports and culture, forming a group of friends with whom he spent musical and literary evenings in his apartment on Salmeron Street, today’s Grand de Gracia.

    It is at this stage of life that Faust discovers the country for himself: during his travels with friends in the Pyrenees, following the coast, he gets to know the central part of Catalonia … and finds the best corner for himself – Blanes. Here begins the Costa Brava, where some cliffs, rising from the sea, cut and swallow part of the coast, while others only gently caress it. And it is here, in 1918, that Faust decides to start a grandiose project: to acquire land and set up a botanical garden, which will serve as a haven for scientists and students of continental Europe, who, due to the cold climate, cannot study the flora of a tropical and dry climate in practice.

    “What until now has been small perennial vineyards must develop into a whole republic of epicurean biologists,” writes his botanist friend Josep Quartecasas in January 1938. In this direction, Karl developed his creation until the mid-20s, before deciding to move away from all business and concentrate exclusively on the design, construction, seating and maintenance of the garden, which he called Marimurtra, that is, the Sea and Myrtle – symbols of the fusion of the flora of the Mediterranean and the seas.

    He spared neither time nor money for his creation. In 1921, construction work began on the house and library (which eventually expanded and became the envy of many connoisseurs of literature), designed by the famous architect Josep Goday. But the real change began with the arrival of the Swiss Zenon Scheiber, a budding landscape painter and gardener, who, with the help of 4 or 5 people provided by local builder Pepito Burset, worked tirelessly on landscape design for the next 4 years. Together they moved tons of stones from the quarry at the end of the garden – a quarry that eventually turned into a beautiful pond and formed part of the garden route, to the entrance to the estate, where an impressive rocaille was constructed to this day; worked with the site so that plants could be planted on it, fertilized the soil with manure delivered to Blanes by wagons … subsequently, this colossal work will give Scheiber’s successor, the then unknown designer Guillermo Narberhaus, to plan out the seating areas. Narberhaus, who was also fascinated by Catalonia, became one of the best landscape designers in the country and his mission was the logistics of the grand Marimurtra project.

    Meanwhile, Faust immersed himself in the study of botany, science and classification. He read a lot, communicated with the most important specialists of the country and made contacts in other countries.

    He was close friends with Puis Font and Ker, a pioneer in the study of the systematization of botany in Catalonia, and through him he met Josep Quatrecasas, Miguel Aldrufei and Carlos Po. During the same period, Carl met European experts: Walter Kupper, Erich Wedermann, Gustav Senn, Oskar Burchard, Robertson Prowshowski, Friedrich Wettstein… offered by the International Geobotany Station of Mediterranean Flora (SIGMA). The station was the very model that Faust would adopt when he wanted to save the garden both from the arbitrary rule of Spanish Civil War politicians and from the danger posed by Germany and Communism.

    During the Belgian conflict, Marimurtra was not damaged, and yet the garden, already beginning to take shape, remained under the likely threat of capture and destruction. Karl decides to act: a Foundation is created in Geneva, in which various societies of botany and natural history are involved. The foundation is now responsible for the success of the garden project: thus the International Society for Mediterranean Biology was born. The Board of Trustees was given the responsibility of managing the garden during Karl’s absence, and it was this that made it possible to avoid the possibility of the garden being confiscated.

    The struggle for the garden helped Carl achieve legalization in Francoist Spain, after the end of the war, he will also enlist the support of the government by including several communities in the country in the fund. Of course, Karl does not leave his project without day-to-day attention, moreover, he is no longer able to afford to hire another managing specialist in the field of botany and is content with the work of several gardeners working tirelessly from dawn to dusk to maintain the garden. However, Faust, from 19Having finally settled in Blanes for 39 years and visiting the garden every day, he remains with only one of the workers – the talented, stubborn Avelino Rabassa, who worked wonders at every stage of the development of the garden.

    Carl died in April 1952 at the age of 78. In recent years, he was especially concerned about the future of the garden, but he passed away with the confidence that his great creation would be continued.

    It is also known that Karl used all available opportunities to replenish his library: to support those who later became real experts in their field, to advise institutes and individuals. He got the Higher Center for Scientific Research (CSIC) to open a branch in Blanes for land allocations, training of researchers.

    In 1951, Karl created a foundation, which, according to the law, was to become the heir to the botanical garden and its ideas.

    Karl Faust was a rare representative of those very patrons of science, who are very few in our country. He encouraged botany without being a botanist, international relations without being a diplomat, science without being a scientist, the training of researchers without being one. Fascinated by the work of Goethe, Carl wrote out several of his sayings from his favorite work “The Years of the Teaching of Wilhelm Meister” and immortalized them on Goethe Square in Marimurtra. These lines say “I love the one who loves the impossible” and “Send us a persistent spirit and good mood on earth, and we will leave, O Gods! heaven to you.” A very Faustian way of understanding the world.

    Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes, the pearl of the Costa Brava – Touristim

    One of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Spain – Marimurtra in Blanes – was built in 1921. The moderately arid climate, unusual for the Mediterranean subtropics, made it possible to create an amazingly beautiful park. In an unusual rocky environment, several thousand plants from different natural zones are collected here.

    In many ways, the flora of the Costa Brava, one of the pearls of which is the resort town of Blanes, owes its popularity among tourists. Here, palm trees traditional for the Mediterranean coexist with desert cacti of all kinds and rocky vegetation. Visitors can take an unusual flower with them as a keepsake – souvenirs in pots are sold at the entrance to the garden.

    Natural areas of Marimurtra Garden

    Blanes is a small town. Therefore, tourists will have no difficulty finding its most popular attraction. The botanical garden is located somewhat away from the city port, on top of a picturesque mountain. The walk from the center of the settlement takes about 30 minutes. The most convenient option to get to Marimurtra is a special bus that runs every half an hour.

    In Spanish, the correct pronunciation of the name of the garden is Mar I Murtra, which means the Sea and the myrtle tree. The name reflects the diversity of vegetation on the territory of the complex. In total, there are three complexes in Marimurtra, each assigned to a specific climatic zone: subtropical, temperate and Mediterranean. In turn, each of them is divided into 6-8 smaller zones dedicated to the flora of specific countries, for example, Mexico, the Canary Archipelago, China, etc.

    In total, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes has about 3,000 plant species. Without exception, each species is accompanied by a plate with brief information about the halo of growth – an opportunity not only to admire the natural beauties, but also to learn a lot of new things. The park looks especially beautiful in spring – its entire area (which is several hectares) is covered with a motley carpet of fragrant flowers.

    In general, on the territory of the botanical garden you can find a lot of interesting things besides plants. In a secluded corner, near the seashore, the “Temple of Linnaeus” was built – a monument in the ancient Greek style, from which it is convenient to view the bay of Cala da Sa Forcanera. If the natural beauties of the visitors are bored, they can climb the lofty Mirador von Humboldt tower – it was specially built as an observation post for Blanes.

    Opening hours and entrance fee to the garden

    It is noteworthy that the Marimurtra Botanical Garden is an attraction that is quite cheap to visit, which is rare in Spain. For entrance to the territory of the complex is charged 6 euros . During the peak season, the garden for tourists is open from 9:00 to 20:00.

    When you first get acquainted with the Marimurtra botanical garden in the Catalan town of Blanes, it may not seem so picturesque. But it is enough to delve into it, walk along the rocky terraces right above the sea, and it will be simply impossible not to appreciate this unique place.

Carros funebres: Coches Fúnebres – Specialty Hearse

Cinco tipos de coches fúnebres para acabar sobre ruedas

Se acerca Halloween, la noche de los muertos vivientes y toca por tanto hablar de coches fúnebres. No en vano, un coche fúnebre va a ser el último primer coche que probaréis en vuestra vida muerte, y por tanto hay que conocer que opciones tenemos disponibles.

Antes de conocer los diferentes tipos de coches fúnebres que os proponemos, comencemos haciendo un poco de repaso histórico. Los coches fúnebres motorizados comienzan a usarse en los años 20 en Estados Unidos. Hasta entonces hay datos de coches de caballos utilizados para llevar a los muertos desde el Siglo XIV.

Su evolución ha ido muy pareja a la de la propia industria automovilística, y hoy en día son muchas las variantes de coches fúnebres disponibles en el mercado. Desde una furgoneta reconvertida en coche fúnebre hasta una gran berlina familiar cuya capacidad de carga se ha ampliado para poder acoger un féretro, estas son sólo algunas de las opciones que tenemos para llegar a nuestro destino sobre ruedas.

Coche familiar reconvertido en coche fúnebre

Es sin duda la opción más común, una gran berlina de marcas conocidas que tras pasar por las manos de algún carrocero especializado, ha aumentado considerablemente el volumen trasero de la zona de carga para poder albergar en su interior el féretro.

Este tipo de transformaciones también suele conllevar la ampliación de la distancia entre ejes, así que hablamos por tanto de modificaciones bastante sustanciales respecto a los modelos originales.

Lo más habitual es que estos coches luzcan colores oscuros, elegantes y sobrios, aunque en los últimos tiempos incluso la moda de los coches blancos ha llegado a este segmento tan específico.

Oficialmente ninguna marca ofrece en su catálogo de producto coches fúnebres, algo lógico desde el punto de vista del marketing porque nadie quiere que su marca se asocie con un momento tan triste e inevitable.

Aun así marcas como Mercedes con los Clase E Estate, Ford con los Mondeo, Jaguar con los X-Type o Volvo con sus antiguos familiares han tenido que ver cómo sus coches se convertían, por necesidad, en coches fúnebres.

No quiero que mi último coche sea una furgoneta

De un tiempo a esta parte, también han proliferado las furgonetas de carga o incluso monovolúmenes reconvertidas en coches fúnebres. Tiene sentido si tenemos en cuenta que por sus características, este tipo de vehículos permiten albergar estas cargas de gran tamaño sin tener que sufrir grandes modificaciones, e incluso pueden llevar a varios pasajeros.

Ahora bien, si te gustan los coches, tal vez no quieras que tu último viaje sea a bordo de una furgoneta o una monovolumen. Hay opciones mucho más recomendables, pero recuerda que deberás dejar claras tus preferencias antes de contratar el servicio. Luego no tendrás oportunidad de quejarte. O si…

Un lujo se lo puede dar cualquiera- Rolls Royce fúnebre

El año pasado os mostramos que en esto de los coches fúnebres, también los hay que quieren lo mejor y lo más lujoso. Este Rolls-Royce Phantom desarrollado por los especialistas de Biemme Special Cars, cuenta con todo lujo de detalles.

Su precio de 500.000 euros hace que sea complicado rentabilizar la inversión para una empresa de servicios mortuorios, pero lo cierto es que en algunas de las zonas más ricas del mundo no tengo dudas de que tendrían clientela más que de sobra. Ya que vas a morir, al menos hazlo con la elegancia que sólo un Rolls-Royce te puede ofrecer.

Al entierro derrapando

Hace algunos años los colegas de la revista británica Autocar se propusieron comprobar si un coche fúnebre podría derrapar. Y claro que es posible llegar a tu entierro de lado.

Con sus más de cinco metros y medio de largo y más de dos toneladas de peso, este Mercedes fúnebre es capaz de hacer unas derrapadas de muerte. Lo único necesario es asegurarse de que el féretro no se mueve en la parte trasera, y que el pasajero no se marea en curvas.

También la ecología se valora

Y como la industria de los coches fúnebres va muy pareja a la del automóvil en general, ya hemos visto que en algunos países como Estados Unidos o incluso los países nórdicos comienzan a proliferar los coches fúnebres híbridos e incluso ya los hay que están empezando a trabajar en modelos eléctricos.

Es el futuro de un sector dónde otra cosa no, pero sabes seguro que siempre vas a tener clientes. Empresas españolas especializadas en este tipo de vehículos como Indusauto, VIO Europe SL (a quien corresponde la imagen del coche de portada) o la alemana Kulhmann Cars tienen un catálogo disponible muy amplio. Así que tal vez, este sea el momento de ir eligiendo tu coche fúnebre. Y si no es así, en un rato te ofreceremos nuevas ideas espeluznantes. ¡Feliz noche de Halloween!

En el blog de hoy hablaremos sobre las carrozas fúnebres, qué son, cuál es su historia y los tipos de autos que se utilizan para trasladar los cuerpos a un destino.

¿Qué son las carrozas fúnebres?

En la antigüedad para poder movilizar una carroza debían ser tirados por caballos, realmente estos autos han ido evolucionando a través del tiempo y eso se puede confirmar por como se ven en la actualidad.

Una carroza fúnebre es un automóvil que se utiliza para transportar un ataúd con el cuerpo de un difunto, ya sea, hasta el lugar donde se va a realizar el velatorio y, además, también lo traslada hasta el lugar donde va a sepultar o a cremar.

Son diseñados especialmente para poder trasladar el ataúd o féretro y estos autos se pueden encontrar en las funerarias. Por lo general, estas carrozas son acompañadas por agentes de la funeraria, pero en sí es una persona famosa o importante, son escoltados por policías y en algunos países por militares.

En lugares pequeños, el trayecto es desde el sitio donde se vela a la iglesia y de la iglesia hasta el cementerio o camposanto. En La Piedad contamos con carrozas fúnebres tipo h2, son completamente adaptables.

¿Cómo es una carroza fúnebre?

El chasis de este auto fúnebre es alargado debido a que debe alcanzar el ataúd y los arreglos florales y en la parte delantera se encuentra la cabina del conductor, asimismo tiene capacidad para dos personas más.

La parte trasera es donde introduce el cuerpo, su interior está compuesto por metales con seguros para poder fijar el ataúd y evitar que se deslice, algunos vienen cubierto con vidrios polarizados para que no se vea nada y otros contienen ventanas. Asimismo, algunas carrozas fúnebres incluyen sirenas en caso de necesitarlas.

Historia de los vehículos funerarios

Siglo XVI

Fue construido por George Shillibeer, utilizadas desde el siglo XVI en la Inglaterra y en América se vieron a finales del siglo XVII, la razón por la cual se fabricaron es porque en la antigüedad las casas e iglesias se encontraban a distancias muy largas, y esto era un problema porque a la hora de que fallecía una persona no se podía enterrar en ese momento, llegaban a pasar días.

Por esa razón George creo estos autos, su marca se llamaba “Shillibeer´s Funeral Coaches”. Por esa época se utilizaban plumas de avestruz para decorar los carros funerarios y si el coche incluía muchas de estas, quería decir que la familia del difunto tenía mucho dinero.

Una peculiaridad era que dependía del sexo de la persona fallecida para seleccionar el color de los caballos, recordemos que las carrozas antes se tiraban de caballos. Si el dueño de la funeraria no contaba con un caballo negro o blanco, lo teñía.

  • Hombre: Utilizaban caballos color negro.
  • Mujeres y hombres solteros: Utilizaban caballos color blanco.

1907

En el año 1970 se empezaron a observar los coches fúnebres motorizados, esto fue dicho y registrado por la revista Scientific American, pero fue hasta el año 1920 que se popularizaron y se empezaron a ver menos carrozas tiradas por caballos, sin embargo, se seguían usando acompañado de las plumas de avestruz.

Siglo XX

Cuando entro la década del treinta del siglo XX, las carrozas funerarias intentaban funcionar como los coches fúnebres de la época victoriana en el siglo XIX y, además, de usar sus adornos, tales como: campanillas y farolas.

Al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue cuando se empezaron ver las carrozas funerarias en un tono más sobrio parecido a los que se utilizan actualmente.

¿Cuáles son las principales marcas de las carrozas fúnebres?

Las funerarias usan autos de lujo, de igual manera se pueden adaptar otro tipo de coches. Antiguamente, las marcas Daimler, Peugeot, Rolls-Royce, Studebaker y Buick lanzaron líneas de carrozas fúnebres, pero en la actualidad estas son las marcas más famosas:

  • Cadillac
  • Lincoln
  • Mercedes-Benz
  • Jaguar
  • Ford
  • Volvo
  • Chevrolet
  • Chrysler
  • Dodge

La mayoría de las agencias de autos cuentan con este tipo de vehículo, aunque no se incluya en su catálogo, principalmente fabrican el auto de forma normal y después lo adaptan, posiblemente exista variedad de estos, desde autos monovolumen, low cost o eco responsable que son los favoritos de las personas, ya que cuidan el medio ambiente.

También es usual ver varias carrozas cuando una persona reconocida fallece, la principal trasladará el cuerpo y las demás, en la mayoría de las veces lo que traslada son arreglos florales.
