Holiday in Spain - Concerto de Aranjuez

Concerto de Aranjuez - Travel video put together with iMovie from still photographs. These were taken in March of 2005. We travelled to the southern coast of Spain and stayed at a timeshare in Malaga. We took day trips to Granada to visit the Alhambra, to Seville to see the gardens and site of the Palacio de Justico, and Rhonda where the oldest bull ring in Spain is situated. It was the wrong season for bullfighting and the ring was not open when we visited. Spain is a wonderful vacation spot and the people there are friendly, the food is excellent and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend a visit there. The music selection is Concerto de Aranjuez, by Joaquin Rodrigo from the album Concierto Guitarra Española.

Nice video friend. I hope you liked the Albayzin and the Alhambra, because they are our jewels.

Greetings from a "granadino"

[looneytoobs]

Thank you bernabemido! Yes, We love Españia and especially Granada. The people are very warm and friendly. We didn't see inside the Alhambra because tickets sold out early. Our guide book said it would not be a problem; no reservations needed, but I guess holiday weeks when the locals are on vacation is an exception. Still, we enjoyed the Alahambra gardens and now we have a good reason to return to Granada.

Best wishes from Halesite, NY :-)

Wow! what a beautiful country.This is one of the best travel photo montages i have seen on You Tube. Nice job! :)

i ❤ the music..PERFECT!!

[looneytoobs]

Thank you for such a nice compliment, maotoni. Spain is a great destination; rich in history, architecture, and culture. The folks there are very friendly, and it is not as expensive as many other places in Europe.

I put the presentation together with Apple's iPhoto application The music I discovered when I bought it from a local cd store in Seville. I was first attracted to this music in the 70's when I bought Sketches Of Spain (Miles Davis 1959). Hauntingly beautiful is the phrase!

[looneytoobs]

The pursuit of Italy, by David Gilmour, just one of the many examples that show their mixed Syrian, Jewish, Egyptian, Moorish, etc., blood since way back to Roman times: "In this superb history of Italy and the Italian people... a nation of bewilderingly mixed bloods and ethnicities."

[HunterofDolts]

Spain is a normal southwestern European nation. Italy, the land of the Italian peepz of the retarded troll below this post clumsily pretending to be a "redneck", is, not quite. Its general feel is quite different from the rest of Europe, it has more of a mix with the Near East and Africa to it.

[SouthernWhiteMan]

Spain with it's food,culture,people, it's sites and just general feel is much different than normal European countries like the France U.K Estonia Romania etc Spain has more of a mixture of Mid East and African feel to it

Exotic Nation by Barbara Fuchs here is an sample Spaniards of the place of Moors and their descendants within Spain. Meanwhile, observers from outside Spain recognized its cultural debt to al-Andalus, often deliberately casting Spain as the exotic racial other of Europe.

Eres tu únicamente quien generaliza...yo no soy sevillano ni he visitado sevilla desde hace como 25 años...no puedo hablar por tanto sobre su supuesta arrogancia pero cualquiera sabe que su patrimonio artístico es sobrecogedor y eso a mi juicio les hace dignos de cierto respeto...Nunca he generalizado...TU eres el único generaliza , de hecho soy vegetariano y no como jamón...

Si dices que España es homogenea es que no tienes NI IDEA de su variedad cultural, geográfica, climatica y social

[hidalgocastellano]

Un comentario tan lleno de tópicos y de clichés solo sirve para reflejar la mente superficial e inculta del que lo hace...guardate tu odio y tu arrogancia y tus aires superioridad porque eso es algo que no se valora en España, al contrario, a lo mejor esa es la razón por la que aquí no encajes...

[hidalgocastellano]

Lo siento pero no soy de sevilla y no he he visitado sevilla desde hace 25 años, por tanto no puedo hablar de sevilla ni de su supuesta arrogancia aunque creo que por su sobrecogedor patrimonio artístico les hace dignos de cierto respeto... Jamas he menospreciado al pueblo inglés ni a ningún otro, eso simplemente es una CALUMNIA. El único que generaliza eres tu, de hecho soy vegetariano y no como jamón serrano... Soberbia y maliciosa es unicamente aqui tu lamentable actitud.

[llewohnewo]

Como a los espanoles les gusta juzgar el resto: supuestamente todo el mundo del norte padece de soberbia y arrogancia y Sevilla es el centro espiritual del mundo. Existe mas que tu pequeno pais racista y cerrado. Aplaudo cada vez que el toro les cornea a los toreros - bastardos machistas. Te recomiendo que cojas tu jamon serrano y lo metas donde no brilla el sol, te pongas tu sombrero y te emborraches con cruzcampo hasta que aprendas algo de respeto por los restos. Espanol perezoso.

[llewohnewo]

yo que tu no estaria tan listo de generalizar sobre el racismo de otros. Sevilla es un lugar increiblemente cerrado que se ve a si mismo como el ombligo del mundo. Tu comentario sobre los ingleses es muy indicativo de la actitud en general en Sevilla. Si queremos encontrar lo soberbio no necesitamos buscarlo en los ingleses sino en los espanoles, y en este pais homogeno, racista y frio hasta los huesos. Coge tu jamon serrano y metelo donde el sol no brilla, puto, y deja con TUS generalizaciones

Viva España!!

[hidalgocastellano]

I Don´t see any contradictions I just reffer to facts and your actitude and poor remarks prove just what I said.... On the contrary remember that i am a Spaniard who is AGAINST bullfidgting...the difference between you and I is that i don´t widespread lies on the net about bullfihting or its culture and I defend the rights of all animals.

maybe you shold look for another holliday country...I honestly don´t thik you fit in this country
