Posted in Europe, Spain

Another wonderful experience in my beloved Spain. Driven by it so many times eventually several years back decided to come in and it has been a stop ever since. Jaca in the heart of Aragon! This is a post done out of me again finding some pictures that should be in my blog, Of course, plenty more written on Jaca in my blog. The City is in the province of Huesca, and autonomous community of Aragon , Therefore, here is more of the curiosities of Jaca, part III  !!! Hope you enjoy this post as I.

A bit on the City/Town Hall of Jaca.  Since 1486, there is evidence that in this urban route the civil power was located since at that time the Council acquired the necessary lots for building the primitive City Council. Inside that building, the municipal historical archive is preserved today, where documents are stored from 1042.Paraciorally, in full rebirth, in 1544, it was agreed to expand the old headquarters of the Council with the construction of the building that is seen today in day. Renaissance style inside. In the lower body opens the magnificent cover that shows the splendor of the stallsman presided by the city shield. In the second body, the noble plant opens five windows whose frontons contain the Aragon bars. In this plant, one of its interior rooms remembers with its name the council of one hundred, formed by one hundred good men who helped govern the city since 1238. The third body, which was added to the beginning of the 20C, when the old Alero, forms a typically Aragonese gallery of windows. The City Council, in addition to being the headquarters of the local government, also guard an important cultural heritage: the sculpted eardrum coming from the Romanesque hermitage of Sarsa and dated in the 12C, the famous book of The 13C chain, the bells of the clock tower made by Bartolomé de la Rosada in 1595 and some solid silver parade maces of the 16C.

A bit of history of Jaca tell us that Iacca was inhabited by the Iberian people of the Iceta, was the first fortress conquered by the Romans in Hispania. Jaca was the first capital of the Kingdom of Aragon, the first city that acclaimed King to Ramiro II the monk, the first city that revolted in favor of the Republic in 1930. Jaca is for all this a unique city, sung by own and strangers, an exciting world visited by kings and pilgrims, an engine of progress to which the Spanish monarchy ended up awarding – in the 17C with the titles of very noble, very loyal and very winning city of Jaca.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
