Miguel Accidentally Lands On Woman's Head at Billboard Music Awards (VIDEO)
Miguel caused a stir at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday when he appeared to land on a female audience member's head while jumping from the stage into the crowd.

Rumer Willis
Rumer Willis in Levi's Shorts
Rumer Willis posed for a few photos while she was hosting a 4th of July pool party at the Encore Beach Club at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
For the party, Rumer wore an American flag printed bikini top with a pair of cut off Levi's shorts. This is such a perfect pool party look, I think denim shorts make such a great cover up! Buy Levi's online at their website.
Rumer Willis in Denim Overalls
Rumer Willis walked out of her dance class in Los Angeles, California and flashed a brief smile to the waiting paparazzi. She wore a pair of black baggy denim overalls which she layered over a grey marl tank top and paired with black flats and an electric blue bag.
I think the addition of the beanie and the sunglasses really toughen this outfit up and make it look less feminine. Rumer has such an edgy vibe to her outfits, this is a great way to wear denim overalls! I know they are considered to be a more tomboyish piece, so when styled right, they can look amazing! Buy denim overalls online at Shopbop.com.

Rumer Willis in Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny Leather Pants in Black
Before hitting the stage, Rumer Willis posed for some photos at the Kelsi Dagger event in Los Angeles, California. The singer wore a pair of Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny Leather Pants in Black with a ripped muscle tee and some clogs.
We haven't seen the Current/Elliott leather pants out much recently. I always thought and still do think that they are one of the best pairs of leather pants. The way they fit and the choice of leather is exceptional on them. I also think the way Rumer styled them simple here is really well thought out without looking contrived. How many of you also like this look here? You can click here to purchase these pants from SHOPBOP for $998.
Rumer Willis in Vintage Levi's Jeans
Rumer Willis got snapped while leaving the Andy Lecompte Salon in Los Angeles, California with bright red hair. She then found a parking ticket on her windscreen after the meter expired.
Rumer seems to love Levi's as we have seen her out in their shorts numerous times, but this time she opted for a pair of Levi's vintage looking jeans, some flats and a white tee. These aren't the most flattering from behind (vintage jeans often aren't), but they definitely suit Rumer's style.

The draft Kippax Town Centre master plan continues the ACT government's work in modernising our group and town centres in line with contemporary planning principles.

I'm pretty sure that lightweight plastic bags are banned in the ACT. Kippax Woolworths is currently using them, because apparently there is a problem with the supplier.

A new childcare facility for up to 122 children is being proposed for a vacant block near Kippax.

Gene therapy, the introduction and expression of exogenous genetic material, is an approach of great potential for the correction of inherited or acquired metabolic defects. Growing scientific interest is revealed in the growth of its literature: in MEDLINE, only 13 articles on human gene therapy were indexed from 1975 through 1981. From 1982 through 1986 this number had grown to 81. And from 1987 through the spring of 1991, 400 articles appeared.
This intensifying interest has inspired a new specialty journal, Human Gene Therapy. To our knowledge the first journal devoted solely to the topic, it aims to be a "resource for current information as well as a repository for future reference" for both scientific matters and "the broader social issues" relating to human gene therapy. The editor-in-chief, W. French Anderson of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, is one of the leaders in this nascent field. Articles on

PSA Peugeot Citroen announces 8,000 job cuts
12 July 2012 Last updated at 17:06 BST
The French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen has announced 8,000 job cuts and the closure of an assembly plant as it struggles with mounting losses at the core automotive division.
The Aulnay plant near Paris, which employs more than 3,000 workers, will stop work in 2014 as part of a drive to reorganize the company.
A second factory in Rennes, western France, will shed 1,400 of its 5,600 jobs as it down-sizes in response to shrinking demand for larger cars such as the Peugeot 508 and Citroen C5.

Released: Jun 01st, 2005
Running Time: 87
Director: Ralph Parfait
Company: CDI Entertainment Group
Cast: Nick East, Trinity (I), Lauren Phoenix, Tony Tedeschi, Sammie Rhodes, Dominica Leoni, Alec Knight, Scott Lyons
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Phoenix could help move this.
It doesn't take long for Trinity and her pals to figure out that life on a horse ranch isn't all it's cracked up to be without a good hard cock for a girl to latch onto in this adequate release. Trinity pines about how horny she is since her divorce for about two whole seconds before she pounces on ranch hand Alec Knight and saddles him on the dining room table. Trinity looks great, especially while receiving the business on her back. She's also, surprisingly, the only lass who ponies-up with the anal love in this production.
It comes as no surprise, however, that Lauren Phoenix is the workhorse who churns out the best romp. The porn equivalent of a Triple Crown winner, Phoenix will win, place or show in any vid, making her a safe bet for anyone's money. This time, the lucky stud is Tony Tedeschi who reaps the benefit of a power b.j. from Phoenix before getting to mount her for a fine gallop.

I have one probably dumb question. I am currently testing CSP solvers choco and jacop. When I run profiling of the app (graph colouring, about 3000 nodes), I dont fully understand the results.
The used heap space declared by profiler is about 1GB of memory. The sum of all object created is less than 100MB. Where are the other 900MB of RAM?
I think that method calls (solvers probably use massive backtracking) are being alocated on stack, so here should not be the problem. When I reduce maximum memory by using Xmx param, the app fails with exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
So it seems, that the rest isnt unused uncollected memory (because in this case the GC would dealocate it (and would not fail)).
Thanks for your help.

The use of permits helps the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) ensure the conservation and sustainable use of the Great Barrier Reef's state and Commonwealth Marine Parks.
Permits allow us to:
- reduce impacts on high-use and sensitive areas
- separate potentially conflicting activities
- encourage responsible behaviour in all Marine Parks users
- collect data for planning of Marine Parks
- monitor activities which may become damaging to the Marine Parks.
Assessment timeframes
The agency assesses more than 400 permit applications for new activities each year. It also manages more than 2300 permissions across some 1300 permits.
In 2015, we are seeing an increase in the number of permit applications for research activities due to the strong El Nino weather system.
All level 1 (low-risk activities) applications will continue to have an assessment timeframe of 16 weeks.
Please note assessments for other activities may take longer, as we are seeing an increase in applications for level 2 (medium risk) activities.
Under the Native Title Act, we must also provide a 30-day notification period to native title holders or claimants.
If applying for a continuation of your existing permit before it expires, you can continue to operate under the old permit until a decision is made on your new application.

The National Veterans Memorial Museum will be a repository of information about the men and women who served in conflicts and non-combat missions that the United States has been involved in since World War II – and about those missions as they unfolded.
We are in the information and education business – providing accounts of and documenting what happened and how these conflicts and humanitarian efforts have been critically important in shaping our nation.
There is a vast body of information on what America's military servicemen and women have done in promoting the cause of peace, providing relief efforts where desperately needed, as well as preserving and promoting freedom and democracy worldwide – efforts that continue through the present day.
Much about the American military and our soldiers' work in the world has not been thoroughly documented or publicized. A great volume of important information resides only in the memories and personal records of those who actually served.
We will capture all the information we can through correspondence, and recorded recollections of our warriors and their families – indeed all those who have served our nation in military operations – combined with extensive research efforts.
We invite you to become part of the mission, partake of opportunities to both contribute to and learn about what has been undertaken by American service personnel who have served worldwide.
Through our website we will strive to keep you informed of progress in the development of our museum facilities, the design of which is well under way. Your questions and ideas are welcome. This will, in fact, be your museum.
Please join us in our quest. Your participation and support is essential to its success.

Comparing Artificial Sweeteners
Topic Overview
What are artificial sweeteners?
Artificial sweeteners can be used instead of sugar to sweeten foods and drinks. You can add them to drinks like coffee or iced tea. They are also found in many foods sold in grocery stores. These sweeteners, also called sugar substitutes, are made from chemicals and natural substances.
Sugar substitutes have very few calories compared to sugar. Some have no calories. Many people use sugar substitutes as a way to limit how much sugar they eat. They may be limiting sugar to lose weight, control blood sugar, or avoid getting cavities in their teeth.
The most common sugar substitutes are:
- Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet). It's mostly used to sweeten diet soft drinks.
- Saccharin (Sweet'N Low, Sugar Twin). It's used in many diet foods and drinks.
- Sucralose (Splenda). It's in many diet foods and drinks.
- Acesulfame K (Sunett). It's often combined with saccharin in diet soft drinks.
- Stevia (Truvia, PureVia, SweetLeaf). Stevia is made from a herbal plant and is used in foods and drinks.
Sugar alcohols are also used to sweeten diet foods and drinks. These plant-based products include mannitol, sorbitol, and xylitol. If you eat too much of them, sugar alcohols can cause diarrhea and bloating.
A new sugar substitute called advantame was approved by the FDA in 2014. It's made from aspartame and vanillin. But it's about 100 times sweeter than aspartame.
If your goal is to lose weight, keep in mind that a food can be sugar-free but still have carbohydrate, fats, and calories. It's a good idea to read the nutrition label to check for calories and carbohydrate.
Are sugar substitutes safe?
Yes. The FDA regulates the use of artificial sweeteners. At one time, saccharin was thought to increase the risk of bladder cancer in animals. Studies reviewed by the FDA have found no clear evidence of a link between saccharin and cancer in humans.
People who have phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid foods and drinks that have aspartame, which contains phenylalanine.1
Advantame also contains phenylalanine, but it is considered safe for people with PKU. That's because advantame is so sweet that only tiny amounts of it are used.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Six months after Iraq's historic election, the country is on the verge of another political breakthrough, the successful writing of a new constitution. Yet there are growing worries the political momentum is doing nothing to calm a bloody insurgency.
Indeed, the insurgents appear closer than ever to tipping the country into civil war, leaving many Iraqis profoundly gloomy in this summer of relentless car bombs, scorching heat and sporadic electricity.
The issue is of keen interest to Americans, whose president has pledged that the U.S. military will stay in Iraq at its current level until the country can defend itself.
"I see this as a long, slow struggle," said Phebe Marr, author of "Modern History of Iraq," who just returned to the United States from a visit.
Marr said she came away thrilled by the "very genuine and very lively political progress" in Baghdad but discouraged by the insurgents' stubborn hold.
Her words were echoed by one Western diplomat. Asked if fighting will abate if Iraqis successfully draft a constitution by the Aug. 15 deadline, the official said only: "We've always understood it's going to be a long process."
The new U.S. ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad, was even more frank, calling Iraq "at a crossroads between two starkly different visions. ... The foreign terrorists and hard-line Baathist insurgents want Iraq to fall into a civil war."
The risk is that the violence will make the country so chaotic, and Iraqis so disillusioned, that political progress in Baghdad becomes irrelevant.
For months, U.S. and Iraqi officials have insisted that the insurgency would ease if Sunni Arabs -- the favored class under former dictator Saddam Hussein -- could be lured back to participate in the political process, now dominated by Shiites and Kurds. Sunni Arabs, roughly 20 percent of Iraq, make up the core of the insurgency. Some actively fight while others provide aid or at least look the other way.
Recently, there has been solid progress in luring a relatively large group of the Sunnis to participate in politics, including the constitutional process.
Some who urged an election boycott just six months ago now are urging their fellow Sunnis to vote in upcoming elections, and a core group has helped draft the constitution.

This article seeks to shed new light on the study of decentralized natural resource governance by applying institutional theories of polycentricity—the relationships among multiple authorities with overlapping jurisdictions. The emphasis on multi-level dynamics has not penetrated empirical studies of environmental policy reforms in non-industrial countries. On the contrary, many of today's decentralization proponents seem to be infatuated with the local sphere, expecting that local actors are always able and willing to govern their natural resources effectively. Existing studies in this area often focus exclusively on characteristics and performance of local institutions. While we certainly do not deny the importance of local institutions, we argue that institutional arrangements operating at other governance scales—such as national government agencies, international organizations, NGOs at multiple scales, and private associations—also often have critical roles to play in natural resource governance regimes, including self-organized regimes.

This full-fleged anal video has plenty going for it other than just capitalizing on rear entry action. It is a pleasure to see someone like a very vocal Missy get into it so much that, at one point, her blowjob appears to be so intense that it would take an industrial strength can opener to pry her lips away from the lucky bastard. The same could be said for her other lips as well!

Meet photographer Thomas Alleman for a lecture and discussion about his exhibit, Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws: Gay San Francisco, 1985-1988. This exhibit celebrates San Francisco's gay community in the mid-eighties. The photos show a moment in San Francisco's social history when the first wave of the AIDS epidemic crashed onto the Castro. These photos chronicle a blizzard of protests and demonstrations, vigils and marches and sit-ins, as the community struggled for social and political recognition of the crisis. But his exhibit also shows the parties and bar-scenes, drag shows and Halloween evenings and the artists who were creating a home-grown, alternate gay culture that spoke directly to the experiences and aspirations of Castro audiences with life affirming joy.

EUREKA, Calif. (AP) -- A Northern California police detective described in a preliminary court hearing the gory scene following the brutal killing of a popular priest.
Eureka Police Department Detective Todd Wilcox testified Thursday that the body of the Rev. Eric Freed was found wrapped in sheets in a ransacked upstairs bedroom.
The suspect, 44-year-old Gary Lee Bullock of Redway, is charged with attacking Freed with a metal pipe and a wooden stake after breaking into the St. Bernard Catholic Church rectory before attempting to blow up the historic building.
Freed's dead body was found when he failed to show up for 9 a.m. Mass.
The coroner's office found that Freed died of blunt-force trauma.
Bullock has pleaded not guilty to attempted arson, vehicle theft and murder with the special allegations of torture and committing the crime during a residential burglary. He could face the death penalty.
The Eureka Times-Standard reports that Wilcox testified that the sheets and blankets were wet, that the room smelled of alcohol and that three empty whiskey bottles were found near the body. Several items were pressed against the body, he added under questioning from Deputy District Attorney Elan Firpo. Those items included a sealed offering bag, crumpled wet newspapers and a calendar that had been set on fire, Wilcox said. Weathered pieces of wood were near the door, which had been forced inward from the hallway, he said.
Wilcox then described bloodstains in the bathroom sink, on the shower and on soap bars. A table in the den area of the bedroom had evidence of blood and hair and a bedroom mirror had a large red smear in the middle, he said.
"The body was on its back and it was wrapped, not covered, but wrapped all the way around with what looked to me to be bed clothing," Wilcox testified.
He also described Freed's injuries, saying they included a cut on his nose, chin abrasions that appeared similar to rug burns, small pieces of wood embedded in his knees, scratches on his lower legs, and two circular, red injuries that appeared to be the same diameter as the metal pipe.
Testimony in the preliminary hearing is scheduled to continue Friday.

Asthma Health Center
Asthma in Teens and Adults - Living With Asthma
Know your asthma triggers
A trigger is anything that can lead to an asthma attack. A trigger can be smoke, air pollution, allergens, some medicines, or even stress. Avoiding triggers will help decrease the chance of having an asthma attack.
In the case of allergy triggers, avoiding them will help control inflammation in the airways. If you have asthma triggered by an allergen, taking allergy medicine may help you manage the allergy. It may limit the allergy's effect on your asthma.
Take your asthma medicine
Taking medicines is an important part of asthma treatment. But because you may need to take more than one medicine, it can be hard to remember to take them. To help yourself remember, understand the reasons people don't take their asthma medicines. Then find ways to overcome those obstacles, such as taping a note to your refrigerator.
Check peak flow if your doctor recommends it
It's easy to underestimate how severe your symptoms are. You may not notice symptoms until your lungs are functioning at 50% of your personal best measurement.
Measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a way to keep track of asthma symptoms at home. Doing this can help you know when your lung function is getting worse before it drops to a dangerously low level. You can do this with a peak flow meter .
Most people who have asthma can travel freely. But if you travel to remote areas and take part in intense physical activity, such as long hikes, you may be at increased risk for an asthma attack in an area where emergency help may be hard to find.
When traveling, keep your medicine with you, carry the prescription for it, and use it as prescribed. Also carry your asthma action plan so you know what medicines to take every day and what to do if you have an asthma attack.
Give teens extra attention
Teens who have asthma may view the disease as cutting into their independence and setting them apart from their peers. Parents and other adults can offer support and encouragement to help teens stick with a treatment program. It's important to:
- Help your teen remember that asthma is only one part of life.
- Allow your teen to meet with the doctor alone. This will encourage your teen to become involved in his or her care.
- Work out a daily management plan that allows a teen to continue daily activities, especially sports. Exercise is important for strong lungs and overall health.
- Talk to your teen about the dangers of smoking and drug use.
- Encourage your teen to meet others who have asthma so they can support each other.

Goal-Free Living is the antidote to our achievement-oriented society. Basically since birth, we've been taught that we should be setting and achieving goals, and working hard toward goals. And for some people, that works. Some people enjoy a goal-oriented life. But for many people, all that does is create stress and dissatisfaction.

My suggestion is that we should have a sense of direction and let life unfold naturally, rather than trying to force it down a particular path, which is what we typically try to do. This will allow you to have a much more experiential view of life, allowing life to come to you. You will meander and weave, and change direction as you find the things you're really passionate about.
One interesting thing I did was to predict people's Myers-Briggs type, if they didn't already know it. It was pretty interesting that nearly 100 percent of the successful goal-free people were Extroverted-Intuiter-Perceivers.
The people who were goal-free but not successful tend to be introverts. If you're not going to get out there and play big, and meet people and have fun, and really go full-out with passion and gusto, it's hard for you to allow things to come together in a synchronistic way. But the Judgers out there love their goals.
I do say there's a difference between being goal-free and goal-less. I'm definitely not an advocate of being goal-less, which is being lost and directionless, and sitting on your butt eating bon-bons, watching Jerry Springer. To me, goal-free is moving forward through life with purpose and passion, but not knowing how it's going to turn out. And not caring how it turns out, I guess, is probably even more important.
To me, I just view everything as an experience. We label it "failure" or "success," when in fact it's just an experience. And we can learn from every experience—good, bad, or indifferent.
Much literature has been written on branding.
But what is a brand? Can you define it in just 6 words?
No, it is not Nike's "swoop." It is not McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" jingle. It is not Accenture's Tiger Woods ads. It is not the design of my website or my "Unconventional Thinking" tag line.
Erik Hansen, Tom Peters' brand manager (and a good friend of mine), said it quite eloquently. A brand is… "what your customers say it is."
What is great about this definition is that it gives you direct access to changing your brand. To change your brand you must change your customers' perceptions and experiences. No logo or advertising campaign has ever done this.

Pierce Brosnan takes a break from his recurring role as the latest James Bond to portray a more low-key sort of hero: Desmond Doyle, a real-life father of three who fought to regain custody of his children after a Dublin court ordered their relocation to orphanages. Christmas Eve, 1953, finds Doyle (Brosnan), a professional painter and decorator, with no job and very little money with which to support his wife, Charlotte (Mairead Devlin), and their three young children. Come St. Stephen's Day, Desmond's fortunes worsen considerably when Charlotte abandons her family without so much as a goodbye. Charlotte's spiteful mother (Claire Mullan) reports Desmond's dire situation to Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and soon after, an Irish court decides the youngsters would be better off in orphanages. Desmond's two young sons, Dermot (Niall Beagan) and Maurice (Hugh MacDonagh), are sent to the Kilkenny Industrial School; his daughter, Evelyn (Sophie Vavasseur), is remanded to the stern care of the sisters of the St. Joseph's School in Dublin. Doyle first plans to break his children out and sneak them off to Scotland, but sensible Bernadette (Julianna Marguiles), a local barmaid and aspiring pharmacist, puts him in touch with her brother, Michael Beattie (Stephen Rea), a solicitor. Beattie advises him to find steady work Doyle, accompanied by his fiddle-playing father, Henry (Frank Kelly), have been singing in the local pubs and ease up on the two-fisted drinking before petitioning a court of law, but gives him little cause for hope. According to Children's Act of 1941, the consent of both spouses is required for one parent to gain custody, and Charlotte is nowhere to be found. Beattie's Irish-American friend, barrister Nick Barron (Adian Quinn), thinks otherwise; Barron lost custody of his own children in a divorce settlement and is to determined to see that Doyle gets his back, even if it means taking the case to the Irish Supreme Court. Doyle's case made judicial history never before had an Irish statute been found "repugnant to the Irish constitution" and turned Doyle into a famous man. While Brosnan, an Irishman by birth, lays it on bit thick, his performance is surprisingly effective. Bruce Bereford makes the best of a workmanlike script, the children particularly young Vavasseur are undeniably adorable, and there's a nice turn by Alan Bates as a boozy ex-rugby hero who also happens to be an expert on Irish family law.

Old Town (Casco Antiguo), Marbella
64 Reviews
64 Reviews
Marbella is a new big city totally devoted to tourism, however, it keeps a small "island" of tradition, where the image of Andalucia was well preserved and maintained.
Though at small scale, than what we may see in Seville, Granada, or any other traditional city of the province, strolling in the shaded narrow streets of the old quarter is a real pleasure, with many cafés offering their esplanades or air-conditioned rooms to a brake and a drink.
At night, respecting the spanish use of getting out by the cool evening, the streets become even more lively, with commerce opening doors till late.
Address: Calle Bermeja, 20, 29601 Marbella, Málaga, Spain
Directions: Surrounding the Plaza de los Naranjos
Phone: +34 952 82 77 46
Website: http://www.cascoantiguodemarbella.com/en
The historic centre of Marbella is a small square, whose name came from orange trees. This detail may suggest a Muslim origin, but the Renaissance style of the square shows more recent conception. Surrounded by classical buildings, it is as everything else in town a very touristy point, covered with esplanades full of tourists.
It's not a great monument, but spanish try thir best to preserve history, and in a city where construction has frenetic, replacing almost everything not suitable to tourism, this degraded walls were all that they could save from the old castle.
It is only a segment of the outer walls, dating from the 10 or 11th century, built by muslim occupiers, including in the construction a few stones from previous roman constructions. It's possible to see a couple of doric columns.
Located in Plaza de los Naranjos, this palace from the 16 century, conceived to house the king's local representant, was built in Gothic and Renaissance styles, but the main signs are Mudejar. The ground floor is now used by a restaurant, obviously with the same name, and with "monumental" prices, of course. The building may pass without notice because it is somewhat hidden by the esplanade, and I don't know the use of the other floors.
Address: Plaza de los Naranjos
Marbella's old town is very lovely with a lot of narrow streets with white houses, statues, fountains and churches. It contains a lot of small, interesting shops and I noticed how impeccable and spotless this part of town was, the houses white with a lot of colourful flowers.
One of the most ancient Christian buildings in town is Ermita del Santo Cristo on la Plaza del Santo Cristo (see my photos). Its construction is dated back to the 14th century.
I especially liked the blue Virgen de los Dolores at El balcon de la Virgen.
Carmen walked me through the old city and it was a very lovely walk.
Address: The old town of Marbella - in the center.
In the old town of Marbella there are still remains of the walls which the Moors built around their castle in Marbella. The fortress dates from the 10th century and is integrated into the city center.
With tiny streets where you touch the walls at each side simply by stretching, and bougainvillea branching out and drooping overhead, the magic of Marbella old town is not to be missed.
On my first visit to glamorous Marbella I completely missed the old town. In fact I didn't even know it existed. I continue to live with the loss of that first visit, but made up for it the second time around by spending a lot of time here.
Along with the usual designer shops you will find the quaint and unusual. Here's where you come to find that little something for the one who has everything.
It's a photographers paradise, full as it is with tiny Churches, pretty squares, and lively outdoor cafes.
Whitewashed walls provide a backdrop for brightly coloured flowers, while at night golden light floods out from cast iron lanterns and bounces off the same whitewashed walls turning them to orange and gold.
One of the great secrets of the Old Town is the vast selection of truly first class restaurants. Every other one has a Michelin recommendation.
Don't make the mistake I did - make sure you get there first time around.
Directions: All through the Old Town of Marbella, which is on the opposite side of the road to the beach promenade.
Marbella, like many old towns is trying to adapt to the modern world, the first photo shows how the city walls are surrounded by parked cars, little room to sit back and admire the ancient architecture, but you can see this in most old towns that are lived in and not abandoned to time or relegated dying and coming back as a museum. Old structures vie with new to "conquer" space and you get a new dynamic where they meet. Still in the old parts of the town you can find small extras, like the tiles on the wall or the Temple del Dios, it was at this church where we found a wedding in progress, people showing up in their finery even on a wet and cloudy day...
Last but not least, Zohara and Carmen took a break from our walk by playing a game of table hockey...
While Marbella may not be an important ancient city, it does have its old town and many beautiful spots within its environs, all you need is some patience and energy to walk the streets, or a guide like Carmen to show you where to look. Many of the streets are paved better than homes that I have seen. The old town is not large and is "doable" in a few hours, we were lucky enough to have a day of rain so we had the streets to ourselves, we did not see any people till we came across a wedding.
If you ever visited Spain you must visit Ronda, it is one of the oldest towns in Spain. The most striking aspect of the cultural heritage of Ronda and its surroundings is Arabic. Under muslim rule the town rose to importace as the capital of one of the five coras of Al Andalus. This is seen in the style of the building and the many other traditions in the region.
The conquest of the town by the Catholic Kings in 1485 was followed by a period of cultural and structured reorganisation but it is in the 18th century that the city became clear in the general context of Andalusia. IT was was during that period that the most significant and emblematic monuments of Ronda were built , the New Bridge adn the Bullring
Ronda has everthing for the whole family, sites to see, great shopping streets, fantastic restaurants and if you are staying for the night beautiful hotels.
No trip to Marbella would be complete without a trip to the Old Town. Little streets with lots of bars and restaurants. Shops selling just about everything and lots of pretty flowers adorning the buildings. Look up and admire the views.
Unfortunately we missed the walking tour given by VT's very own beach_dog on Saturday morning as we had some VERY important shopping to do but after we completed our mission we set off to explore the old town with it's narrow cobblestone streets and beautiful white buildings often complimented by magenta bougainvillea or other flowers cascading from the windows.
Located in the Plaza de Los Naranjes, the TOWN HALL & TOURIST INFORMATION OFFICE is in the heart of the Old part of Marbella. The Town Hall also houses the Mayor and Deputy Mayor Offices. On the right side corner of the building is the Tourist Information or "OFICINA DE TURISMO" where you can find information about Marbella and the area. Brochures are available on what attractions are in the area. But if you want a tourist map of Marbella, you'll have to shell out 1,50 Euro.
In the Beach/Promenade Area there is also a "OFICINA DE TURISMO"
Phone: 95 276 1100
Balcón de la Virgen is without doubt the prettiest of the old town squares in Marbella and so typically Analucian. - surely eveyone's favourite photo spot. It was a real joy to eat in this area twice during our stay - its even more atmospheric at night.
The old town of Marbella is a fascinating quarter, partially surrounded by the ruins of an old Arab wall with narrow white washed streets, old churches and squares, overspilling with colour from the flowers adorning them. Little boutiques filled with beautiful clothes are tucked in amongst the narrow streeets - a real delight to explore, and each time discover new details.
