One of life's most important keys: follow your heart, be the best you can be at your chosen vocation/profession, and earn your living without hurting others. When you are content in your life and proud of your work, you produce a top-quality product. We LOVE the totally unplanned meeting in Arlanzon as we strolled around this small village in Burgos. It turned out that we got chatting with the artisan cheese maker in the village, and she let us see her workplace. What a TREAT!!! Our kids loved to be able to take a sneak peek of the cheese cellar and learn about how cheese is made. This is a tiny place, it is not an industrial production and she cannot lead tours for visitors, obviously! But she will take her time to address your questions and relay her love for her profession.

Needless to say, we bought one of her sheep-milk cheeses, and it is DELICIOUS. If you ever have the opportunity to sample the cheese made by in Arlanzon, do not miss out!!!

This is a small producer. She is HAPPY with her life.. and her cheeses make people happy! 😋 👧🏼👦🏼🧔🏼‍♂️👩🏻‍🦰💯❤️🤗👏👏👏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀

Many, many, many years ago, l was an undergraduate student at Warwick University in the History of Art department. For my 2nd year subject, I chose The Monumental Tomb taught by Professor Julian Gardner. I had to write an assessed essay and chose the Royal tomb in Miraflores Charterhouse as the topic. To do this in 1996, l had to travel to Spain and spend a week lodged with the cloistered nuns in Las Huelgas to study the royal pantheon there and compare it to Miraflores. I was a penniless student, so l had to walk 10 km a day from Las Huelgas to Miraflores every day to take photographs and measurements.

The privilege of sharing a week with Cistercian nuns included accessing their peaceful orchard and attending Mass in the original church, sitting in Gothic stalls and flicking the light switch off as we left the church after the service to withdraw to our rooms.

I always try to carry the peaceful spirit of this special religious community. It was a true privilege, and l cherish these memories. I shared them with my husband and children during this special trip to Burgos. I will always be grateful to the nuns who welcomed me into their fold for a week despite the very limited amount l could pay for my lodging.

The first photo shows the door to the guest rooms (Hospederia), the door l crossed in 1996..behind that door there is a universe of peace and prayer, away from the mundane distractions of our society.

19/08/2024

Conociendo nuestro patrimonio y nuestra historia en el Monasterio de Santa Maria la Real de Las Huelgas. Panteón de los Reyes de Castilla durante los siglo XIII y XIV, este monasterio fue fundado por el Rey Alfonso VIII y su esposa inglesa Leonor de Plantagenet (m.1214). Su sarcófago doble se situa en el coro de la iglesia de este monasterio de clausura Cisterciense femenino. La tumba de la reina muestra una representation de la 'elevatio animae' en la cubierta, motivos medieval bastante frecuente.

Pudimos ver la estatua de Santiago del Espaldarazo, una imagen muy curiosa porque en origen era una Virgen Maria y se transformó posteriormente en Santiago con barba y un brazo móvil que se usaba para armar caballeros a los Reyes.

Una de las joyas más importantes en este Monasterio es el Pendón de las Navas, un panel de tejido de seda árabe que fue supuestamente botín de la Batalla de las Navas de Tolosa en 1212.

¡Qué recuerdos tan bonitos para mí visitar este imponente tesoro de nuestra Historia con mi propia familia! Tuve la tremenda suerte de hospedarme con las monjas en clausura una semana en 1996 y me sentaba durante la Misa en una de las sillas del coro, al lado del sepulcro de los fundadores. Fue una experiencia INOLVIDABLE.

What an impact this large statue of El Cid Campeador had on us! Standing at the exit of the tiny village of Mecerreyes, El Cid towers above the wheat fields looking pensive and determined. The dramatic Summer evening sky adds to the power of this image.

I read and studied the medieval Cantar de Mío Cid in school 40 years ago. I can still remember how enchanting and magnetic this text was, despite the centuries that had gone by. I can't wait for my own children to read it and daydream about the adventurous life of this legendary warrior and husband in 11th-century Castile and Valencia.

We live in a society ruled by instant gratification and fast pace. Connecting to our past, taking time to read inscriptions, and reflecting on the relevance of historical figures is fundamental to understanding our own lives and lifestyle.

Driving through sparsely populated villages with stone houses amongst rural, practically untouched landscapes helps you travel back in time and wonder about what El Cid saw during his exile journey towards Valencia.

One of our projects is to follow the complete route of the Camino del Cid, from Burgos to Valencia, passing by Soria and Guadalajara. There is a very good website called CaminodelCid. You can choose various routes related to stages in the life of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. 📚💯📖⚔️🤺🐎👩🏻‍🦰👧🏼👦🏼🧔🏼‍♂️👏🤩💖😊

Cloister and Chapter House of the Monastery of Santa Maria la Real de las Huelgas. The 3 stained glass windows date from the 13th century and are perfectly preserved. They are considered the oldest stained glass windows in Spain and were likely made in France.

What a treat to revisit this place after 25 years!! The children enjoyed it very much.

It has to be a guided tour, which is geared towards adults, but my 9-year-old was paying attention and mainly enjoying strolling through the medieval spaces. Tickets must be booked well in advance through Patrimonio Nacional.

17/08/2024

Cartuja de Miraflores in Burgos: This Royal tomb was the topic of the assessed essay of my 2nd year course during my undergraduate degree at Warwick University. To be able to take quality photographs back in 1995, l had to use SLR cameras and tripod and request special permission from the reclusive Carthusian monks there. I lodged with the nuns at Las Huelgas for a week and had to walk 5 km from one end of Burgos to another every day, carrying all my cameras. I was poor but fit and healthy, so l just walked every day and spent many hours standing in front of this tomb and altarpiece. I was pretty much on my own every day. There were barely any tourists, and it was a very special experience.

This is the uniquely shaped tomb of King Juan II of Castile and his wife Isabel of Portugal, parents of Queen Isabel of Castile. She commissioned Gil de Siloe to produce this 8-star alabaster sepulchre and matching carved altarpiece in 1489. Therefore, this is the result of female patronage in the XV century. The brother of the Queen, Infante Don Fernando, is buried in a wall tomb with his praying effigy facing the high altar. The details on his robe are spectacular!

Life came full circle when l visited this beautiful space with my husband and 2 children. So many years have gone by, but the monuments are still there, and the special atmosphere remains unchanged.

Now this is THE statue of Cid Campeador! Truly spectacular! We love the Cantar de Mío Cid and although it is no longer taught properly in Spanish schools, l will ensure that our children are able to read it when the time is right. An epic poem composed around 1200 by an anonymous author, the Cantar narrates the adventures and misadventures of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar and his wife Doña Jimena as well as their daughters, who lived in 11th-century Castile during the Reconquista. It is an engaging text about honour, revenge, and loyalty in Medieval Christian society.

This 1955 bronce statue is the work of Juan Cristóbal Gonzalez Quesada and sums up the legendary military skills and determination of El Cid. Riding his horse Babieca, he brandishes his sword, Tizona, pointing towards Valencia, where he is heading in his exile. Eventually, he would return to Castile, of course..

We love History, Art and Literature. All of this is this statue. We love it!!🥰😍🤩📚👏💯🤺⚔️🐎👑👦🏼👧🏼👩🏻‍🦰💖👀📖

El Monasterio Cisterciense de San Pedro de Cardeña fue prisión y campo de concentración franquista durante la Guerra y la dictadura, de 1936 a 1940. Aquí vemos la sala que se usó como cocina para los presos en aquella época. Entre los prisioneros, estuvo aquí nuestro admirado David Lomon así como Bob Doyle, ambos miembros de las Brigadas Internacionales. David Lomon fue retratado por un compañero de prisión durante su encarcelamiento, y ese dibujo se conserva en Londres.

Fue muy emotivo pasear por este edificio y ver la misma estructura a la que mirarían tantos presos durante sus condenas. El fraile que lideraba la visita guiada hizo referencia a las Brigadas Internacionales, ya que este episodio es parte de la historia del edificio.

Desde aquí va un recuerdo a las Brigadas Internacionales...🤗❤️💛💜

Visitando el Monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña y siguiendo los pasos del Cid Campeador. Aquí fueron enterrados los cuerpos del Cid Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar y de su esposa Doña Jimena. Eventualmente, los restos se trasladaron al centro del crucero en la Catedral de Burgos.

En el exterior del monasterio se encuentra una estela marcando el lugar de enterramiento de la yegua del Cid, Babieca.

¡Qué maravilla visitar estos lugares milenarios donde estuvieron estas grandes figuras de nuestra Historia y Literatura! Gracias, Tiempo, por haber conservado estos fragmentos tan preciados de nuestra cultura.

Hemos disfrutado de una experiencia INOLVIDABLE en
Qué maravilla poder ver estos caballos przewalskii, uros y bisontes! Los mismos animales (bueno, sus descendientes, evolucionados) con los que comvivieron nuestros antepasados y a los que pintaron en las cuevas de Altamira o Lascaux..

Ha sido una mañana espectacular con un guía maravilloso, y el safari privado incluye un pequeño almuerzo y la oportunidad de practicar tiro con arco.
Merece la pena invertir en una actividad como esta porque estas creando memorias imborrables para tu familia, y a nosotros, que somos grandes amantes de los animales, nos ha super-encantado. ¡Enhorabuena a los artifices de este proyecto, os deseamos todo el éxito del mundo!

How wonderful it feels to revisit the medieval Monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza (Burgos) after +/- 35 years! I visited this abandoned monastery at age 16 with my family and decided, there and then, that l wanted to know more about this period, so l signed up for Art History class as soon as that became available in my pre-university studies. So here l am, many, many years after, with a BA, MA, and PhD. in Medieval Art History... l did it! I pursued History of Art all my academic life. I am trying to pass it on to my children, and we visit plenty of historic sites and museums. Fingers crossed, whatever career path they choose in their lives, they will always keep an interest in History and Art. 🤞🏻📚

Si visitas esta encantadora villa, no te pierdas el triptico del siglo XV en la Colegiata y la tumba de la Princesa Kristina de Noruega.

¡Nos encanta todo lo que guarda Burgos en sus pueblos y villas medievales!

Tomb of Princess Kristina of Tonsberg (Norway), who arrived in Covarrubias in 1257 to marry the infante Felipe, brother of Alfonso X the Wise. Poor Kristina died 4 years after the wedding, in 1262, in Seville, due to the heat.

If you visit the Collegiate Church in Covarrubias and ring the bell above her sarcophagus, this is expected to help you find love.

It was wonderful to see her tomb and statue outside after so many years. I visited this place at the age of 16, sooooo long ago!! And of course l rang the bell back then and here l am now with my husband and 2 kids, who also rang the 🔔! ❤️💕😊🔔📚🤞🏻👦🏼👧🏼👩🏻‍🦰💖📖👸👑

Hoy hemos disfrutado de una mañana de domingo diferente en el Jardín de la Casa-Museo de Lope de Vega. La excepcional actriz Georgina de Yebra nos ha trasladado al Siglo de Oro y nos ha escenificado La Dama Boba y La Gatomaquia de Lope de Vega. Qué bien resumido todo, qué bien lo hemos pasado y qué gran cuentacuentos es Georgina con su cántaro.

Nos han encantado las ilustraciones de para la Gatomaquia, una historia de amor, desamor, celos, intrigas y espadas en la España del siglo XVII adaptada para un público infantil. ¡Muy recomendable! Y además es.. ¡gratuito! Solamente hay que tener suerte para poder inscribirse a tiempo en estas actividades tan chulas en este espacio histórico tan especial.

Today, we visited the beautiful village of Argamasilla De Alba in La Mancha. This is a very special place because here is the cell where Miguel de Cervantes was briefly imprisoned, according to the vast majority of the experts and written evidence.

We LOVED seeing the statues representing various characters from the pioneering TVE animated series going back to 1979-1980. The Tourist Office offers a nice scavenger hunt for kids related to these public statues, and our children gained their certificate and were given a little colouring kit to take home.

It is well worth visiting this place in La Mancha. Cervantes didn't seem to want to locate it precisely at first, but all the clues are there, and this is surely THE place.

Encourage your kids to LOVE books and literary characters and the importance of History! 👀📚📖

The end of my teaching career at a University has arrived. 💔👩🏼‍🎓 I am grateful for the 13 years surrounded by good people and some magnificent colleagues and students. I like to think that introducing mainly Business major students to the universe of Art had a positive impact on the way they see the world.

I did my best. Some students worked really hard and made me proud. Some.. well, l am certain they will do great as lawyers or business people. I just hope that they remember the canon of Polykleitos, Hadrian's love of collecting, and the genius of TItian, Durer, and Velazquez when they come across an archaeological site or a Museum.

Goodbye, Room 1. Goodbye to my unofficial office down in the Library. Goodbye to Room 4, where l taught my very last Semester. 💔

I still teach. My private tours at the Prado are private lessons in History of Art. It is just that l don't get 20 undergraduate students anymore. I teach young children who will be future museum visitors and perhaps Art Historians. I teach retired citizens who enjoy discussing their experiences at other museums . I teach adults who are finding the importance of Western Art during their travels. I shall always be a professor. It is just that the audience will be more diverse from now on. 👩‍🏫👩🏼‍🎓🖼❤️🖼

Hoy hemos adoptado un nuevo compañero de viajes de la fabulosa tienda de muñecas Así en la Calle Arenal . Es el tercer zorrito que adoptamos en la corta vida de la más joven componente de nuestro equipo en AcrossMadrid. El año pasado elegimos a Felito en esta misma tienda y este año hemos elegido a este maravilloso ejemplar al que hemos decidido llamar Canelito.

Nuestra mentalidad es que no estamos comprando un juguete sino adoptando a un animalito que será nuestro compañero de aventuras y al que vamos a dar mucho amor. Y disfrutamos mil dejando a la peque elegir en una tienda física con una dependienta experta en este tipo de público. ❤️

A este paso, no sabemos muy bien dónde vamos a colocar a tantos zorritos si esto sigue creciendo, pero sabemos que son muy, muy queridos y que vienen en nuestra mochila allá donde viajemos y por eso tienen que ser pequeñitos. En vez de los 3 cerditos, ¡tenemos los 3 zorritos! ¿Por qué no?

¡¡Feliz Día de San Isidro!! Hoy hemos estado en la Ermita del Santo y hemos recogido agua de la Fuente de San Isidro. ¡Estaba todo con muchísimo ambientazo y mucha gente! Luego hemos subido un trocito de la Gran Vía para alejarnos de la multitud y hemos paseado como debe ser, con mantón de Manila las chulapas y chaleco de chulapo para los chicos, mientras degustabamos rosquillas de San Isidro en varios sabores.

La Historia es importante para conocer nuestras tradiciones, beber de la misma fuente que nuestros antepasados, vestir como nuestra bisabuela materna y comprender en parte de dónde venimos.

Me encantan los pececitos de cerámica vidriada que decoran algunos espacios de la estación de metro de Nuevos Ministerios (salida C/Orense). Datan de 1975 y se hicieron en la fábrica Alcaraz, en Alcalá de Henares. Ojalá todas las estaciones de tuvieran murales cerámicos como estos en vez de tantos paneles luminosos de publicidad que aturden al viajero.. ¡dejad algún espacio libre para el ARTE duradero, por favor!

Estos peces llevan nadando en estas olas en relieve 49 años..y a mi me alegran el día cuando los veo. Seguro que no soy la única usuaria de Metro que los aprecia y les tiene cariño. ¿A quien más le gustan? Levantad la mano si os molan los pececitos del metro de ! 💗💯🤚👋🐟🐠🌊🚇

¡Mirad qué preciosidad de palacete nos queda en una esquina de la Plaza de España! Merece la pena acercarse y admirar los detalles y la calidad del diseño y ejecución de este edificio que se construyó como sede social de la Real Compañía Asturiana de Minas en 1891-1899. Diseñado por el arquitecto Manuel Martínez Ángel, es una verdadera joya que se supone va a albergar un centro cultural y de exposiciones de la Mutua Madrileña en 2025.
¡Estamos deseando verlo por dentro y disfrutar de este edificio singular!
