How Much Turmeric Should Be Used

Taking stock of 2010

lived another year and one less left to live, that's the reality. Speaking travelers, the idea began to agonize that I will not have time to learn all that I excited. The list is long and it may seem a contradiction, instead of going shortening takes longer than ever. I guess the same applies to most who follow this blog, a journey leads to another, read an article you like, a report on television, talk to someone tell their journey and we've just added to the list a multitude of sites that initially did not have in mind, perhaps out of sheer ignorance. Not to mention the places that apetecería me back again and again. Need 30 long lives!. As I do not know what lies ahead, I try to take advantage of this, although I always pursued the question of whether live the life they really want and how I want. In short, it's time to take stock of the trips have been realized and have not been raised and new goals and new challenges for the coming year. This is the illusion that begin in 2011.

the year just we can not complain, even though some things have not gone as planned. One of the drawbacks of having to schedule trips in advance, as any mishap can change plans at the last minute. The issue of air traffic controllers has become a very real problem and take into account when making travel plans. In 2010 I've been three times, two flight cancellations late and a significant delay. When drivers are not English, are the French and we can say that our fate is in the hands of this group which, without going into details, feel dissatisfied with their working conditions.

So in February, the French drivers screwed up our trip to Cambridge since canceled our flight to London Stansted Easyjet few hours before departure. We lost a good chance to spend a weekend in the company of fellow travelers in a city that I really wanted to know.

Cambridge but could not be Easter visit two other British cities, Liverpool and Chester and both surprised me. Chester is a charming city with a considerable historic and lively streets that make it very pleasant visit. Liverpool, gave me much more than I expected and I think that is a clear example of how preconceived ideas, for better or for worse, in most cases do not conform to reality. The Beatles music and the spirit is breathed in every corner but Liverpool offered much more than that.

In summer we decided to Southeast Asia where we spent three weeks. Most of the time I spend on the island of Borneo , namely the provinces of Sarawak and Sabah belonging to the State in Malaysia and also visited the Sultanate of Brunei.

The only continental part of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur were in but before returning home to spend three days in Singapore . A pleasant experience that fulfilled one of my dreams, to be able to see orangutans in the wild.

In October we went five days Rome. A family trip to celebrate the golden anniversary of my parents. Although we already knew the eternal city, that was a very special trip for what it represented. Rome is a city that never tires and would return again and again. Surely not the last.

December The bridge did not go as we planned. We had a full week at our disposal, although in principle we think of Bulgaria in the end we opted for Sicily, mainly due to issues more favorable temperatures at this time of year. Of new air traffic controllers screwed up our plans and decided to return to some areas of France where we had been years ago. With nothing scheduled and without a fixed course, we visited several villages in the Provence , most of them already known, but which we loved back. First visited cities like Montpellier , Marseille or Nice and the Camargue region . There is no denying the anger and helplessness at being obliged to cancel the trip to Sicily, but returned to France for me is always good news. If I have not lost the accounts we have traveled 16 times to the neighboring country and as one who says we have not yet moved to the south. The first idea was to get the Champagne but the storm of cold and snow kept us where meteorological maps did not look so bad. I have many things to say that I will make in the coming weeks.

Throughout these 365 days there were also short breaks. Some weekends, like Andorra and others, one day trips to nearby places like the city of Girona or Besalú .

not missed the last week of October I traveled to Belgium for employment purposes but which allowed me to make some tourism in both Antwerp Brussels as . I already knew both cities but there are always many things to discover.

destinations for 2011 are not yet decided but I hope it can be fulfilling dreams. It is my wish for all that you actually go to here. Happy 2011!

The Romanesque Andorra A walk in Girona

Andorra is known as a winter destination where skiers have miles of tracks available. However, it captivates me summer when the green dots the landscape, the temperature is pleasant, you can do countless excursions and some exceptional views.

During the months of July and August will offer a series of free guided tours of the Romanesque churches Andorran most significant heritage, a great tourist value for the small principality.

Although on several occasions we had been able to admire the Romanesque churches scattered throughout the different parishes of Andorra, we have never had the chance to meet their internal tour. We take for the hairs that great opportunity as we travel to Andorra last weekend of August in an impromptu decision to get away from the intense heat wave last summer.
combine visits with a trip to the mountains and relaxing walks.

As an introduction I recommend starting by Romanesque Interpretation Center found in the small town of Pal . A superb and very well done 15 minute audiovisual transports the Middle Ages to the Andorra the eleventh and twelfth centuries, stone by stone when raising these buildings were simple, sober and with little ornamentation, but of great beauty. Andorra did not find in large architectural, but small buildings not only fulfilled the religious functions but also civilians, as it was in the churches where they met the neighbors, where taxes were paid or, where the market was .

Most of these churches were the patterns of the Romanesque, with a semicircular apse oriented east toward the sunrise and the Holy Places of Jerusalem, a small rectangular chancel and nave.

Over the years, many of them suffered significant changes, particularly in the century XVII, when discovered in the Andorra iron mines and forges different opening for processing, achieving economic well-being that triggered an increase in population, which is why they had to expand some of them, as is the case Sant Marti Cortinada to nearly triple its capacity and redirected in a north-south.

Three guided tours were conducted of Cristòfol d'Anyós Sant, Sant Climent de Pal and Sant Martí Cortinada.

Sant Cristòfol d'Anyós

The church is in the highest part of the population and is privately owned, belonging to a wealthy family of the Principality.

Like most, throughout its history it has undergone several modifications and the Romanesque building is only the semicircular apse and the wall from the north.

The Romanesque frescoes discovered in the 30's, were sold to an antique shop in Madrid and from there were taken over by an American collector so that we can see are a reproduction of the original.

The sixteenth-century altar dedicated to his patron, Sant Cristòfol, was recently restored.

The bell Lombard style is not as in most of the Andorran Romanesque churches, but it is a small bell tower with a roof covered four aspects of wood and slate.

St Climent de Pal

Her beautiful three-story bell tower and mullioned windows, stands out among slate roofs the houses of the village of Pal, completing a picture postcard. The apse is square current of the XVII-XVII and replaced the original Romanesque.

interior is accessed through a porch, a good place to of fresh air. It costs too much to imagine the gatherings of neighbors in the summer sitting on the shelves of this small room. The interior is simple and features a carving la Mare de Deu del Remei (Virgen de los Remedios) XIII century and a Baroque altarpiece dedicated to the patron saint, Sant Climent.

The third church we visited was that of Sant Marti Cortinada , Which houses part of the original frescoes of the XII century, made by the so-called Master of the Cortinada .

When they began to exploit the iron mines there was a significant increase in population and the small Romanesque church soon became too small. Was extended by one side and shifted north-south through the apse to be a side chapel and being fortunately hidden its magnificent decorative painting. I say fortunately, because the Romans who had been entirely abandoned for centuries, recover interest in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century Romanticism, when you look back in search roots. And it was then part of the assets that had endured year after year for six long centuries passed into the hands of collectors, thieves and museums.

was in 1968 during restoration work, when they returned to see the light those real and imaginary beings that had remained hidden for years under layers of lime.

Unfortunately only have survived the depredations confiscations and the frescoes were hidden, either behind the altar or why they whitewashed the walls.

The guide gave us an excellent presentation and explained in detail each of the characters in the murals. It seems that the budget for decorating the church should not be low. This can be sensed by the amount of blue and green, as they were the most expensive to obtain. However, in Andorra was not used lapis as in other parts of Europe, but the arenite, another semi-precious stone.

The interpretation is fresh thinking on the role that had in Media Age the paintings of the churches, to indoctrinate the population through the images to make them understand the difference between good and evil. So, right hand, "good" hand, there are a number of religious figures and saints symbolizing good: San Martín, the pattern, which is noble and military first as a living distributing among the needy and later on as represented as high Clergue. You can also see his successor Sant Brice (Sanct Bricius) Sant Arnau (Sanct Arnalsu) and another character who holds a chalice.

On the left are represented the bad: the figure of a fantastic animal, a species of wolf trífida reptilian tongue. The archer who killed San Sebastian, a senior Clergue did not meet the standards of the church or people considered low-life as musicians, actors or dancers.

A part of the frescoes, the church has other decorative elements of great interest, as four baroque altarpieces and especially an interesting set of wrought iron bars that protect the high altar and the side chapels, separating the sacred part of the secular. The bars are the XVII century, built with local iron enriched the Andorran population.

Although we could not go inside, we came to Sant Miquel d'Engolasters to enjoy the magnificent views over the valley.

I love Andorra and I love the beautiful simplicity of the Romanesque churches. We left a lot to see and nothing next summer if we prevent it, we will visit the heritage of the Principality waiting for the Andorra Tourist Board remain true to its good initiative.

No excuses, it is inexcusable not to know some treasures to be found a few steps from home. We are attracted to the distant and exotic and good intentions to learn about our natural and cultural heritage often tend to remain as just that, intentions.

I intend to do homework and spend some weekends to visit places that build up in my long list and one of these places was undoubtedly Girona.

Although we have been visiting many places of the province for many years since I visited the city. In fact, I think since we went on tour with the school had not returned to Girona and since then it has rained a lot. A fuzzy image and the steps of the cathedral with its imposing facade to the fund was how little I remembered.

The biggest change that the city has undergone in recent years is usual comment I wanted to make a visit to the new Girona so often praised.

Taking a little break left us last August, we decided to get going and just over ten in the morning on a relatively cool, sunny Sunday and we were leaving the tourist with a map in hand.

Most attractions are in the old town and concentrated in a small area, ideal for travel on foot.

Instead of crossing the river Onyar the Pont de Sant Feliu , walked to the next bridge called Pont d'en Gómez . The sight of colorful facades houses reflected in the river is one of the most picturesque and most photographed while Girona and inspiration of many artists.

continue to find the church of Sant Feliu . Built outside the city walls, seems to have been built on an ancient Christian church built in honor of the holy martyr who gives the name. In times of Moorish occupation, when the cathedral was converted into a mosque, the church of Sant Feliu did turn, the functions of a cathedral. After extensive restoration and cleaning has taken place in these recent years, the temple looks with all its splendor and simplicity of the Romanesque apses in contrast to the brightness of the large Gothic windows. highlights the Gothic tomb of Sant Narcis , patron of the city and related to one of the many legends told in Girona: According to medieval chronicles, in 1285 when Girona was besieged by French troops, a group of Soldiers moved into the interior of the church. The body of the martyred bishop began to leave some flies that caused high mortality among the French troops and their horses, which led to the withdrawal of troops. Despite the repeated invocations of Sant Narcis and flies in subsequent conflicts, the result was not always so successful.

In a corner of the small square of Sant Feliu , is the column with the stone lion , origin of the popular "If you go to Girona you have to kiss the ass of the lioness , a way of expressing the desire to return to the city. In order to do this without having to play the type has been installed iron ladder, and curious, and last winter because of the alarm caused by the epidemic of influenza A, were temporarily removed prevent contagion. As my intention is to return to Girona, I do comedy and kiss the backside of the lioness but I fear that Josep Maria is not with me why does not fulfill the ritual.

Our next goal is the Romanesque monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants , a former Benedictine abbey and head office of Archaeological Museum since 1857. The whole exterior is magnificent but we are interested in visiting the interior, not museum pieces it contains, which are numerous, but to admire the cloister, one of the most beautiful examples from the Catalan Romanesque cloisters.

different plant and animal motifs decorate the rich capitals, with dancing, double-tailed mermaids, musicians and other human figures and biblical scenes.

Throughout the various rooms of the museum contains a full overview of the history of the city and province, from the Paleolithic and Neolithic, through the Iberian and Roman settlement.

We followed and reached the Arab Baths that Arabs only have the name because its construction is quite later. The building is Romanesque and was built in 1194 imitating the structure of the Muslim baths, then fashionable. You can see the Apodyterium or dressing, the Frigidarium or cold room, the Tepidarium or warm room, the caldarium or hot room and the remains of the furnace. The preserved frigidarium a central octagonal pool over which a dome .

Our tour continues to the Cathedral (free tour on Sunday) led by its magnificent staircase. Dedicated to St. Mary, is at the highest point of the city. His 22.98-meter-wide ship, put it in second place after St. Peter's Cathedral, with 25 meters. Although its construction began in the S. XI only retain faculty and the tower in Romanesque style, while the nave is Gothic and the Baroque facade (1730).

Inside, I recommend visiting the Museum Chapter which preserves the Creation Tapestry (s. XI), an extraordinary Romanesque Room in fairly good condition. Nor do we overlook the magnificent Romanesque cloister, of trapezoidal and limited by the wall above. Is considerably larger that of Sant Pere de Galligants but I think it does not have the charm of it.

Leaving the cathedral, we enter the Jewish quarter down the street Força, the main artery. The Jewish Quarter or Call of Girona is one of the most representative and best preserved in Europe. Thanks to its streets and symbols we know about the history of Judaism in Spain and specifically in Girona, where he lived until the late fifteenth century a thriving community. The current study center Bonastruc Ça Porta, stands in the same area likely was the synagogue. The museum, highly recommended to get into the life and customs of that community, and we found it to be closed because the hours are Sunday mornings only (from 10 to 14). Next time. eat in one of the many restaurants in the Jewish quarter and continue walking down the labyrinth of alleys, getting carried away by the time machine.

In the Jewish Quarter and four steps of the cathedral is the Hostal Bellmirall in the street bearing the same name. This charming and cozy hotel with a rock flavor and taste, is owned by Cristina, who had the pleasure of meeting in Fez, and with whom we share pleasant moments. We take for a visit and chat with her a long time. Though we were very comfortable in your company, we said goodbye to her to continue our route.

From Cathedral we headed for the French Gardens where there is a point of access to wall. From here we have a beautiful view of the back of the cathedral and we can see the famous witch, star of another legend: While the people attending the many processions which took place in the city, a nasty witch was engaged in throwing stones. Just the day of Corpus Christi when he was about to throw a rock, a voice that was heard throughout the city cried out: "If Peter tires, i will pull pedres pedra et will become." And so, therefore today can still see the petrified for ever and ever, turned into a gargoyle.

walked along the wall and up to one of the towers to see one of the best views of the city. At our feet we have the Convent of Sant Domènech , where it is now the headquarters of the university. We do all the way to the Plaza General Mendoza. We walked down the Rambla de la Llibertat where they begin to fill the terraces of bars and ice cream.

Before leaving, we take a last walk along the river and admire again the image of the houses reflected in the Onyar, now with a very special light.
