Medieval walls

-

Every city has its own landmarks, some of them famous or historically relevant, but there are also hidden treasures and quiet beautiful corners. Often -and surprisingly- the inhabitants are not always aware of their own urban landscape and heritage, so its a good idea to take time of an visit or re-discover this sites.
 
Summer is the prefect time for this purpose, museums and attractions are open, there is sun and blue sky, and ice cream vendors in every corner. So this weekend I decided to learn something new and became a tourist in my own city.
I took a long walk around the medieval fortresses, listening to the histories and paying attention to big walls and the little details I never saw before.

And I definitely will do this more often!


Cada ciudad tiene sus lugares importantes o simbólicos, algunos de ellos por su papel histórico o que son simplemente famosos y tiene también rincones secretos y tesoros ocultos que la hacen única y bella. Ocurre -frecuentemente- que los propios habitantes de una ciudad son los que menos conocen estos lugares y que fuerza de verlos todos los días han dejado de pensar en ellos. Así que es siempre buena idea tomarse un momento para visitar el patrimonio histórico y reencontrarse con las bellezas del entorno urbano.


El verano es la temporada perfecta, no solo por el clima y el cielo azul, también por las promociones y horarios ampliados, el ambiente de las calles, los montones de turistas (propios y ajenos) y por supuesto los vendedores de helado. Así que este fin de semana decidí aprender algo nuevo y dar una caminata alrededor de la fortaleza medieval, tomando el tiempo necesario para mirar las con detalle y disfrutar los detalles, los altos muros, los pequeños rincones y las historias.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the rills, and the

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mis piezas de primavera favorita. Y efectivamente,
