Meeting Benches World art in all forms
Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time in your life. Meeting Benches. The way to make the world a better place is easy. Choose a bench, where you can publish what you have painted or written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now. Our proposal call any web-traveler to sit into Meeting Benches info@meetingbenches.com to share emotions, observing new creative horizons, also visiting Andalucia in Spain.
You will need to get close to Malaga, in Spain, in the foothills of the Sierra de Torcal, to know that elegant cities of Andalusia. http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres/ciudades-pueblos/comunidades-autonomas/andalucia.html Anteguera is a city with ancient Roman origins, with a lower part where you can find the memories of those distant times, entering its Museum of Archaeology. As in many cities of the Iberian Peninsula, here is a church – the church of Santa Maria la Mayor – to gather the attention of those who come, with its beautiful Renaissance naves and magnificent chapels. At the top, right over our heads, the ones that you see are the ruins of the Castillo. Although what remains is only a thirteenth-century tower, remains intact the charm of this place where Romans, Visigoths and Arabs had built.
Leaving the city, in the direction of Granada, we can go and admire three large dolman, where we will have the chance to see – even good – ancient anthropomorphic carvings. 16 km to the south, we will have a memorable experience, but you’ll be able to ride a horse, to find a large area dotted with blocks of red marble. The Torcal is a museum of nature, where rain and wind have carved the rock into the strangest forms. http://www.andalucia.com/antequera/torcal/home.htm Certainly you not forget the great beauty of these places, arriving at sunset, possibly waiting for the moonlight.
If you do not suffer from vertigo, we have the opportunity to go to the Garganta del Chorro, http://www.andalucia.com/province/malaga/el-chorro/caminito-del-rey.htm along a dizzying long trail 5 km (halfway up a rock face), the limits of the human capacity to continue. Before leaving Andalusia, we can live a little experience that will leave us with a great memory. The road 327 – northeast of Lucena – brings us to the small town of Cabra, picturesque as its mountains, but also full of history. Near the castle of Montilla reminds us that these are the places of the Reconquest, and that here was born one of Spain’s greatest leaders: Fernandez de Cordoba, el Gran Capitan.
