Tonsils Swollen Very Difficult Fine

La Casa del Pastor

At number 21, Calle Segovia is a modern building. Attached to it, on the side facing the viaduct, is the shield they say is the oldest preserved Madrid, corresponding to a seventeenth-century reconstruction of an older, sixteenth century.
This shield was previously in a seventeenth century house, the house called the Shepherd, which was demolished in 1972 although its crumbling facades have been preserved until the 80's.


that the house was owned by an old clergyman, who looked ill and having no seed left his home as a testament to the first person to go through the door at dawn the day after his death. It was quepasa a shepherd with his flock which way to the bank of the Manzanares. And this man accepted the last will of the clergy. And hence the name of the house.

The legend of the Museum of Anthropology Madrid

The Anthropology Museum is housed in a neoclassical building designed by the Marques de Cubas, which was founded in 1875 by physician Segovia Pedro González de Velasco to house the private collection of anthropology and ethnology, he had collected over several travel and establish residence there also. The building is located opposite Atocha station, on Calle Alfonso XII.

The gossip in Madrid of the late nineteenth century have a legend that happened in this building since I was little I has attracted and has never stopped sorpenderme:

Dr. Velasco had a daughter, Conchita, who died while still young, with 15 years because he administered a laxative to relieve his father of typhoid fever that remained bedridden. The doctor loved his daughter and in his obsession and guilt that, after death, embalmed using her own techniques.

And they say that the doctor kept his daughter embalmed in a glass case of his mansion, which drove her to a sitting at night for dinner with his family even took her out for a ride in his carriage dressed in finery, and carried the theater.

And they say that the mummy of the daughter of Dr. Velasco is on the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in a classroom-museum of the Department of Anatomy II, behind a board, without a grave or mausoleum.

Why Does My Toilet Bowl Empty

that bypasses the Street Pasa ...

"He who does not pass through the streets of the Raisin, no home," said an old and popular saying in Madrid on this little street in Barrio de los Austrias.
And, on this street Raisin was the archbishop of Madrid and it was necessary to go to this place to follow the procedure to apply church marriage (before there were no civil marriages).
The archbishop's palace still exists, between the streets of the Pass and San Justo, and rose in the eighteenth century as the residence of the Archbishop of Toledo in Madrid. Today is the residence of archbishops and cardinals of the city of Madrid.
In medieval times, people used to give to beggars passing by this road pass to alleviate hunger. Hence the name.

Where To Find Toaster Oven Made In Usa

The Source of

was the spring of 1992 when I fell in love with Madrid. Had traveled several times its streets, hidden corners, squares, along my parents, their friends abroad .... But it was that time when the school made a grand tour around the center, and learned a little more of its history, its Islamic foundation, its churches, its squares, its walls of their palaces ... ..

It was in this revealing tour of our city when I first heard about the Source of Peral, and even then unaware that he had been discovered some years earlier, and perhaps even imagined it would have been destroyed by the passage of time, his story captivated me ...

source XV century and was one of the suburbs of the walled city. Originally it was very simple, although it was renovated in 1569 and 1625, covering the facade with granite Cabrera, giving the source of a large pool and seven pipes, which served to supply the growing population of Madrid. Apart from the sink, the source was a meeting place, and beside it stood a theater, known as Theatre of the Sewers, which over time would become the Theatre Real.

The Source of Peral is currently located in the Plaza de Isabel II (which is better known as Opera), in its southeast side, aproximadamnete in the present corner of Calle Arenal, at a depth of six to nine meters below current ground level. She was buried in 1809 with the creation of the Royal Theatre and the renovation of the plaza. But it was discovered in 1990 during a restoration work which will then be sandwiched behind the walls of the platform of the Metro Line 2 of Madrid.

Since last November 2008 for a new project to remodel the Plaza de Isabel II and the Opera Metro station that will not end until July 2010, the City of Madrid announced the creation of important archaeological remains: the source of Peral and cristina remains of the wall of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Those responsible for this project have announced that they will not exhibit these discoveries to the public. The Heritage Division of the Community of Madrid is currently studying this issue.

Hopefully I can soon see the light source of Peral and and recover part of the history of Madrid.

Currently the horse's mouth is sealed, although originally the horse's mouth was open ...

... And, after the statue destozo by leftist anti-monarchist militants during the proclamation of the Second Republic (1931), we noted that the inside of the horse was full of small bones and feathers of birds that had slipped through his mouth.

When the writer Juan Cristobal restored the statue after the Civil Gerra, sealed his mouth to prevent more birds will land on it and enter through the throat of the horse to a certain death.
