ITINERARY
IN CAR
Jimena
de la Frontera - Castellar de la frontera -
Algeciras - Tarifa
The
proposed route allows to know the municipalities
limits Eastern of the Park, drained by the Guadarranque
river, with heights that go up to around the
600 meters, like the Corzo of the Wolves (569
m.s Of altitude).
Jimena
de la Frontera (8258 inhabitants),
near the limit of the province of Malaga, between
the rivers Hozgarganta and Guadiaro, is based
in the Eastern skirt of the mountain range of
the Gazules. Their inhabitants have lived traditionally
on agriculture, the vegetal coal elaboration
and the young of cattle, cabrío and of bristle,
without forgetting caused the corchera and lumber
industry during years by the extensive cork
oak groves the Park (Parque natural de los Alcornocales).
The inhabitants of the municipality distribute
between the nuclei of San Martín or the Tesorillo
and San Pablo or Buceite.
Jimena
de la Frontera was conquered in May
of 1431 by marshal Pedro Garci'a of Herrera,
with originating followers of the city of Sherry,
after a siege that lasted three days.
The streets of Jimena, are in slope due to their
enclave and it is recommended to take a walk
by them little by little to discover the calmed
atmosphere of the population. Their points of
interest are centered in the churches of Santa
Maria Crowned and Santa Misericordia, who next
to the walled enclosure medieval, the Arab castle
(recovered in century XV), and diverse hermitages
of the environs, is whatever offers to the traveller. In
order to follow with the itinerary the highway
of local or regional importance C-3331 is due
to take, in South direction. During a good stretch
the highway follows compares to the course of
the Hozgarganta river, until it twists in direction
this to end at the Mediterranean next to the
Guadiaro. When arriving at the height of
the Almoraima it is necessary to go by the deflection
of the right to reach Castellar from l to Border
by a local highway with abundant curves. Before
acceding to Castellar it can take a break in
the palace and gardens of the Almoraima, next
to the Guadarranque river, in whose forests
the greater hunting abounds.
Castellar
de la Frontera(1990
inhabitants) one is based on a mount nailed
between the rivers Guadarrenque and Hozgarganta.
Their mounts, towns of cork oaks, oaks and holm
oak, produce abundant grass, own for the development
of the
cattle ranch.
From the beautiful population a landscape is
offered and its height allows to descry to the
coasts of Maruecos the clear days. The urban
helmet is closed by a walled enclosure of Arab
construction. A short stroll by the villa must
take to the castle with tower of the affluent
tribute and conserved walls.
In the environs the hermitage of the Christ
of the Blood can be visited.
This has been what old Castellar is considered,
for years was constructed a new Castellar, where
at the moment the villagers reside, we are going
away to find a seat in the center of the town
with house not of more than 2 floors not to
lose the town symmetry.
When leaving Castellar de lafrontera it is returned
to the C-3331 highway and when arriving at the
N-340 highway (railcar) it is
necessary to follow in the direction of Algeciras.
Algeciras
(with near 100,000 inhabitants) it counts on
the bullicio of the marine and border cities.
In their streets, where it is easy to listen
to contraband histories, in summer thousands
of people of all the corners of Europe are joined.
They go to enjoy his beaches, others to undertake
the great African adventure way of Morocco.
Algeciras, founded by the poenos bástulos, had
his pujunza to Augusto, that populated it with
inhabitants with other regions with Hispania.
Algeciras corresponds with the old Julia Joza
or Julia Transducta (although also it is identified
to Tariff with this population), to which it
granted to Augusto the privilege to coin currency;
or with Carteia, much more old. The name of
Algeciras derives from the Arab al-djezirah
al-hadra "green island", by the verdor of its
fields. The population received historical importance
in century VIII when the berberisco Tarik seized
of her turning it operations center and entry
point of the Arab troops who undertook the conquest.
Independent Taifa from 1035, was annexed in
1058 to taifa abasí of Seville. In 1086 it happened
to hands of almorávide Yusuf Tastin that rebuilt
it and equipped with trimming In 1146
they took almohades and in 1231 it recognized
the sovereignty of Banu Hud de Zaragoza. From
1279 one became base of banimerines of Al-Andalus.
In 1344 it fell in being able of Alfonso XI.
In 1369 they conquered the granadinos again,
being reconquered definitively in 1462. The
British occupation of the rock of Gibraltar
(1713) gave to strategic importance to Algeciras
and its bay. In 1820 the attempt of liberal
rise of Irrigation failed here. Between the
little monuments that offer Algeciras we will
mention the district of San Isidro, with abundant
samples of the architecture Andalusian. The
chapel of Our Mrs. of Europe (century XVII),
baroque style, enjoys fame between the villagers.
Near Algeciras the Roman ruins of Carteia, founded
on the rest of a previous population were discovered.
One thinks that Carteia was the first founded
Latin colony outside Italy (171 to C.). Who
have time can approach the Spouts and the Pelayo,
with magnificent views on the Straits of Gibraltar.
The beaches of Getares (2.5 km) and the Rinconcillo
(3 km) complete the visit. Following the N-340
highway, it compares to the coast, it is arrived
directly at Tariff, last scale of this route.
In the passage the port of the Cabrito is crossed
(340 m.s Of altitude), from whose height good
views are obtained.
Tarifa
(15220 inhabitants) one has become famous between
the windsurfistas worldwide. The winds that cause
the practice of windsurf must to their geographic
enclave, in the South end of the Peninsula (Tariff
is the most southern point of Spain), in the Field
of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic are joined, originating smooth winds
and sea currents. The city is to borders of the
sea, in the skirt of the Cabrito mount. Their
streets, narrow and winding in the old helmet,
speak of the Arab presence during centuries. The
Arab ships that arrived at Tariff found to serious
disadvantages when being the city in the center
of the stumbling block of the Labizos, most dangerous
of the Straits, formed by a blackish and removed
flesh stone set that in low tide was left covers
by five meters of water. The ship lieutenant Vicente
Sanchez Cerquero, who examined the reef in 1825,
says: "the frequent losses of boats (...)
do of this stumbling block one of the most frightful
points of the navigators". At the beginning of
century blasts practiced that increased the openwork.
The coasts of Tariff are inhabited from prehistory.
The present city could be the old Julia Transducta
founded by the Romans. Before the arrival of the
Muslims (710) it fell into the hands of the head
to bereber Tarik Malluk, from which it took the
name. Reconquered by Sancho IV Bravo (1292), with
the help of the Catalans according to the Treaty
of Monteagudo, Perez de Guzmán, nicknamed was
trusted to Alonso the Good one. In 1811, in the
heat of War of Independence, tried to surround
it Soult, but they prevented the angloespañolas
troops. The stroll by the old part of Tariff is
rewarding when being with memories of history
and the legend. Today their people are multiracial
to the salary turned Tariff center of summering
of thousands of citizens of the world. They are
left far chronicles of principles of centuries
that said: "Between the women of Tariff, who have
fame to have African characteristics and splendid
hermosura, specially in those of middle-class
and craftswoman, the custom stays to dress a classic
mantle that hides the face of its owner, when
they go to the temple". They emphasize between
its monuments the castle, of the califal time,
and the tower of Good, the octogonal one Guzmán,
that it maintains the memory of Alonso Perez de
Guzmán who threw the dagger to sacrifice their
son before to render the strength. Within the
enclosure of the fortress, on the primitive mosque,
the church of Santa Maria, for whose construction
Roman columns were used, of the Belo neighbor
is possibly raised. In its interior an image of
the Immaculate Virgin venerates, work of Hernando
de Uceda (century XVI). The church of San Mateo,
pointed style, presents/displays a jónica cover
with several images of century XVII, among them,
the virgin of the Sun and the Christ of the Health.
In its interior a chalice of silver of century
IV is conserved. To few kilometers by the N-340
at the right hand we can be a deflection to arrive
at the only hermitage that is by the zone, to
the visitor is going to him to be an extraordinary
place, since it is upon a mountain, whose sanctuary
dwells the Virgin of the Light, pattern of Tariff,
in the month from September takes the Virgin to
Tariff, town that later at the end of the month
becomes to take to its hermitage.
