As Catedrais Beach, Spain (No. 2)

The rock base is about 500 million years old, since when it suffered successive floods and retreats from the sea. Its strata of different hardness and successive fractures in different directions facilitated the erosive action until showing the image they present today.

Part of the flora on the cliff are passionflower, sea parsley, gorse or heather. At the bottom, red algae and coralline algae keep the lichens company. The most numerous representatives of birds are seagulls and cormorants. And as fauna attached to the substrate, barnacles, mussels, limpets and periwinkles.

22 UGMO members in Ilocos Sur town pledge loyalty to gov’t

#PHinfo: 22 UGMO members in Ilocos Sur town pledge loyalty to gov’t

VIGAN CITY, Nov. 25 (PIA) -- A total of 22 members of the Underground Mass Organizations (UGMO) withdrew their support to the CPP-NPA Terrorists (CNTs) and took their oath of allegiance to the government in a ceremony held on  Nov. 23 in Nagbukel, Ilocos Sur.

Of this number, 17 are members of Pambansang Kilusang Magsasaka (PKM) from Barangays Taleb, Mapisi, Bandril, and Lapting, two are members of Malayang Kilusan ng Bagong Kababaihan (MKBK), and three are members of Kabatang Makabayan (KM) from Barangays Taleb and Lapting all from the said town.

Nagbukel Mayor Amalia Cabrera led the oath taking ceremony followed by the declaration of the CNTs as Persona-non-Grata in Barangays Taleb, Bandril, and Lapting through the barangay resolutions and the unveiling of Persona-non-Grata tarpaulin.

Afterwards, the 81st Infantry Battalion, 702nd Infantry Brigade, 7th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army conducted a re-orientation and redirection lecture to the said surrenderers on how they were deceived by the CNTs and to show them the effect of the presence of armed groups in the area.

In her message, Mayor Cabrera lauded the courage of the UGMO members to withdraw their support to the CNTs and challenged them to get back on their own feet living in peace and order on the side of the government.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa inyo at nagbalik loob kayo sa ating gobyerno. Ating isipin ang kinabukasan ng ating pamilya at kapakanan ng karamihan. Nawa’y ating tandaan ang ating responsibilidad bilang mamamayang Pilipino upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan sa ating komunidad,” she said. 

Cabrera also thanked the 81st IB for deploying the Community Support Program (CSP) teams in their town that provide security and assistance in the delivery of the government programs to her constituents.

The surrender of the UGMO members is attributed to the efforts of the Community Support Program team of the 81st IB PA in delivering enhanced services in the different areas of Ilocos Sur.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Rodrigo Mariñas, Jr., Commanding Officer of the 81IB said, “Malaking pagsubok sa atin lahat ang kinakaharap nating problema ng insurhensiya dito sa Ilocos Sur. Ngunit ang pagbawi nyo ng supporta sa mga Teroristang grupo ay simbolo na malaki ang pag-asa na sa konting panahon na lang ay matatapos na natin ang problemang ito para sa kapayapaan at pag unlad ng ating bayan. Nawa’y isaisip at isapuso natin ito. Lahat tayo ay may responsibilidad sa mandato ng kasalukuyang administrasyon at nananalangin kami na gagampanan ninyo ang inyong responsibilidad sa pagresolba sa problemang ito.”

“Kami sa Philippine Army ay patuloy na makikipagtulungan sa ating mga local government units at national government agencies para maipakita sa inyo ang aming sinseridad sa pagtapos ng insurhensiya dito sa Ilocos Sur,” Mariñas added.

Through the Poverty Reduction Livelihood and Employment Cluster (PRLEC) of the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC), the government will provide assistance to the former UGMO members through different programs to equip them with livelihood and/or financial aid and trainings that will enable them to establish conflict resilient communities. 

Last Nov. 20, five UGMO members in a village in Santiago town also pledged loyalty to the government wherein they burned effigies of CNTs operating in Ilocos Sur and received various assistance from the member-agencies of the PRLEC. (JCR/JPD/JMQ, PIA Ilocos Sur)

E se non o fai, simplesmente é porque non quere. Acabou a conversa. Todo o resto son escusas, atraso, complicidade e encobrimento.

Xornalismo de tricornio – Fernando Blanco

Unha das defensas que o receptor de información pode, e posibelmente debe, facer é criticar o aparente exercicio do dereito a comunicar información por un medio con outros fins, diferentes e espurios. Un exemplo: baixo a escusa de informar dun proceso penal, atentar contra a presunción de inocencia dun acusado ou acusada e acoller a versión policial sen contrastar fontes que defenden a súa inocencia, coa finalidade de transmitir a culpabilidade e preparar a sociedade para a futura condena do tribunal.

Uno de los últimos secretos de la Mariña Lucense y de las Rías Altas ha sido descubierto. Desde que La Voz de Galicia publicó una serie de artículos sobre la ruta de Fuciño do Porco, miles de personas han visitado este lugar tan singular. Como ya ocurrió con el cercano ‘Mejor Banco del Mundo’ de Loiba, las fotografías compartidas en la redes sociales han contribuido a viralizar un paisaje ciertamente bello del que las imágenes hablan por sí solas.

Junto con la playa de las Catedrales se ha convertido en un reclamo turístico y en la última sensación de la Mariña Lucense.

La ruta de Fuciño do Porco: fácil y con vistas espectaculares de la Mariña Lucense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #galicia #lugo #mariñalucense #ok_galicia #asi_es_natura #asi_es_galicia #galicia_mola #galicia_enamora #turismodegalicia #galiciacalidade #galiza #ok_natura #total_nature #be_one_nature #naturephotography #naturaleza_galicia #spain #españaenpaisajes #senderismo #somosgalegos #monumental_spain #carnedecabra #fuciñodoporco

A post shared by Carne de Cabra Blogtrip (@carnedecabra) on Jan 25, 2018 at 11:16am PST

Fuciño do Porco es un mirador natural sobre la Punta Socastro con forma de ‘hocico de cerdo’. Permite ver la ría de Viveiro y otros paisajes de O Vicedo mediante una pasarela de madera. Y ese es uno de sus puntos fuertes.

Parece que en los últimos tiempos se ha puesto de moda caminar por pasarelas, sobre todo a raíz del éxito del Caminito del Rey de Málaga. Hay que reconocer que facilitan el camino y permiten llegar de forma segura a lugares poco accesibles, a todo tipo de público.

Si algo tiene la ruta de Fuciño do Porco es que cualquiera en buenas condiciones físicas puede realizarla sin necesidad de complicarse mucho la vida. Turismo de Galicia y el Concello de O Vicedo han señalizado recientemente la zona y ya no hay que preocuparse por las coordenadas de Google como antes.

Por ello, la ruta de Fuciño do Porco cuenta con el reconocimiento de Senda Azul, que otorga Adeac, la entidad que gestiona las banderas azules en España.

En este artículo vamos a contarte cómo realizar la ruta de Fuciño do Porco para que no te pierdas nada de uno de los mejores paisajes de la costa norte gallega.

Ruta de Fuciño do Porco | Cómo llegar

Fuciño do Porco se encuentra en la carretera LU-682, entre Viveiro y O Vicedo. Desde esta carretera parte un desvío perfectamente señalizado a Fuciño do Porco – Punta Socastro. Una vía local baja hacia el entorno de la playa de Abrela. Antes de llegar a ésta, encontraremos un pequeño aparcamiento donde debemos dejar el coche. Lo reconoceremos porque hay 2 kioskos de comida y bebida.

Ruta de Fuciño do Porco | Datos técnicos

Distancia: 3,7 km. (i/v).

Tiempo empleado: 2 horas.

Dificultad: Fácil.

Apto para niños: Sí.

Ruta de Fuciño do Porco | Recorrido

Desde que la ruta de Fuciño do Porco se ha convertido en la nueva sensación de la Mariña Lucense suele estar muy concurrido. Sobre todo en temporada estival y festivos. Nos han comentado que aparcar en verano resulta muy complicado y que hay que madrugar un poco si se quiere encontrar sitio en el pequeño aparcamiento. Si no, te tocará dejar el coche en las inmediaciones de la playa de Abrela y subir en cuesta hasta el punto de inicio del sendero.

En ‘Carne de Cabra’ realizamos el recorrido en enero y no tuvimos ningún problema de masificación. Es más, gran parte del trayecto lo hicimos a solas. Sólo a la vuelta nos topamos con varios grupos bastante nutridos. Para ser un día laborable de enero nos llamó la atención y corrobora la gran aceptación que tiene el sendero. Imaginamos que en verano tiene que ser una romería perdiendo parte de su magia. Con el tiempo, veremos en que deriva su fama y si se convierte en otro lugar tan agobiante como la playa de las Catedrales.

La primera etapa de la ruta atraviesa un bosque de eucaliptos por una senda forestal. No debemos desviarnos por ningunos de los caminos adyacentes que aparecen a nuestra derecha. Esta parte es la más monótona aunque sirve para refrescar los pulmones con el olor que desprenden los eucaliptos.

Tras unos 1,3 kilómetros y una pequeña subida empieza a asomarse la acantilada costa, todo un espectáculo geológico. Y veremos la preciosa pasarela de madera sobre la gran mole de piedra que es Fuciño do Porco. La ría de Viveiro, el islote A Gaveira, la playa de Pereira, la playa de San Román o la isla Coelleira son alguna de las maravillas naturales que aparecen ante nosotros. Para identificarlos bien hay algunos paneles informativos.

A partir de ahora sólo nos queda recorrer la pasarela de madera y alucinar en cada paso. Es una experiencia única caminar sobre la cima de los acantilados, en un paisaje virgen con apenas construcciones a la vista. Es puro Cantábrico.

La pasarela desemboca en una pequeña baliza marítima que marca el extremo occidental de la ría de Viveiro.  De hecho, la verdadera razón por la que se construyó esta pasarela de madera fue por facilitar el acceso al personal de mantenimiento de la baliza. Hoy, se ha convertido en un reclamo para los amantes del mar y de la naturaleza.

El camino de vuelta lo haremos por el mismo camino. Es muy aconsejable visitar la cercana playa de Abrela. En este extenso arenal de arena blanca y aguas tranquilas desemboca la ría de Viveiro, por lo que es fácil encontrar muchas conchas para nuestra decoración casera. Además, está rodeada por un bosque con un área de picnic. En el  Chiringuito Abrela puedes encontrar una buena oferta de pescados y mariscos.

Places to see in ( Ribadeo - Spain ) Ribadeo is a municipality in the Spanish province of Lugo in Galicia. Ribadeo is the capital of the A Mariña Oriental comarca. The municipality of Ribadeo has approximately the shape of a 10x10 kilometer square. It is bordered to the north by the Cantabrian Sea, to the east by the Ribadeo estuary (on the other side of which is Castropol in Asturias), to the west by the municipality of Barreiros and to the south by that of Trabada. The capital of the municipality is the town of Ribadeo. There is one other town - Rinlo - and many small villages and hamlets. The highest point of the municipality is the mountain of Mondigo (571m), in the parish of Cubelas. The coat of arms of Ribadeo is of medieval origin. It depicts waves of the sea on which are superimposed a golden key at an oblique angle and a silver star. The key symbolizes the Ribadeo incorporation into Galicia, and the star its northern location. Until the late seventeenth century the coat of arms lacked the star and the key was in the upright position. This older version can be seen carved in stone in 1699, in the chapel of the Virxe do Camiño, at which time it was already ancient. The local economy of Ribadeo is dominated by the service sector, in particular the retail and hotel trades. There is a fishing and commercial port in Ribadeo , the only major port between Ferrol and Avilés. Alot to see in ( Ribadeo - Spain ) such as : Torre de los Moreno, the house of the Moreno brothers, built in 1905 in an eclectic style. The decoration of the facade suggests Modernism, while that of the rear recalls the neoclassical style. Its concrete and steel construction is unusual. The parish church of Santa María do Campo. The ruins of an ancient Franciscan convent. A number of emblazoned houses in the old quarter. Small beaches to the west below the cliffs, including Playa de As Catedrais, a popular tourist beach named for the shapes carved into the cliffs by the sea. Illa Pancha Illa Pancha CB Playa Islas O Cargadeiro Ribadeo Playa de las Catedrales ( Ribadeo - Spain ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Ribadeo .

Praia das Catedrais, Spain (No. 4)

The beach of Las Catedrales is located on the coast of the province of Lugo (Galicia), also known as La Mariña Lugo. The place where it is located belongs to the municipality of Ribadeo, bordered to the east by the Principality of Asturias and to the west by the municipality of Barreiros.

It was originally baptized as the beach of Aguas Santas. However, it is known by all as the Playa de Las Catedrales due to the gigantic rocks in the form of colossal arches and towers, very similar to those seen in Christian temples. ​The characteristic of the beach are the arches and caves, only noticeable on the beach at low tide. During high tide the beach is relatively small, with fine sand and is still suitable for bathing. It is interesting to see the beach at high tide running along the top of the cliffs in a west-east direction towards Esteiro beach and see it at low tide on the sand of the beach. At low tide you can access a long sandy area delimited by a rocky wall of slate and shale eroded into capricious shapes: arches more than thirty meters high reminiscent of flying buttresses of a cathedral, grottoes of tens of meters, corridors of sand between blocks of rock and other curiosities. With the live tides, in which the tides go down more and rise more than the normal tides, you can even access the neighboring beaches by sand, although you should be careful and return before the tide begins to rise since the sea level rises quickly since it is a stretch of practically horizontal coast belonging to the Cantabrian Rasa. The beach has this relief due to the effect of wind erosion and salt water.

Adjacent to the beach parking lot you can find two viewpoints from where you can fully contemplate magnificent views of La Mariña Lugo.

Praia das Catedrais, Spain (No. 3)

The beach of Las Catedrales (in Galician, praia das Catedrais) is the tourist name of the beach of Aguas Santas (in Galician, praia de Augas Santas), located in the Galician municipality of Ribadeo (parish of Devesa), on the coast of the province of Lugo, Spain, on the Cantabrian Sea. It is about ten kilometers west of the town of Ribadeo. It is known by this name due to the appearance of its cliffs. It is declared a natural monument by the Ministry of Environment of the Junta de Galicia.

Praia das Catedrais, Spain (No. 2)

The characteristic features of the beach are its natural arches and caves, which can be seen only at low tide. During high tide, the beach appears small, but still suitable for swimming. During low tide the size of its cliffs and sea caves is more apparent, ranging from small cracks on the rock to big caves whose roofs have collapsed due to the erosion of the waves.

At low tide, there is access to a sand deposit delimited by a rocky wall made from slate and schist forming 30 meters arches resembling cathedral flying buttresses, large caves, sand corridors between rocky blocks, and other geological features. Particularly low tides create access to nearby beaches through the sand extension. As the coast stretch is almost horizontal, the water covers the beach again very quickly.

Beach of the Cathedrals, Spain (No. 1)

The Cantabrian Sea is the coastal sea of the Atlantic Ocean that bathes most of the northern coast of Spain and the southwestern end of the Atlantic coast of France; is the southern part of the Bay of Biscay. Traditionally it has been considered to extend from Cape Ortegal (43°46′N 7°52′W), in the province of A Coruña, to the mouth of the river Adur, near the city of Bayonne, on the coast of the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, in the French Basque Country.​ It bathes 800 kilometers of coastline shared by the provinces of La Coruña and Lugo (Galicia), Asturias, Cantabria, Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa (Basque Country), and the French department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The Cantabrian Sea was baptized by the Romans in the first century BC as Cantabricus Oceanus in reference to one of the peoples that populated its coasts: the Cantabrians. In other older classical quotations it appears under the name Britannicus Oceanus and Gallicus Oceanus.​

As Catedrais Beach, Spain (No. 3)

The beach is attended by a lifeguard team; there are daily cleaning services, and less than 500 m. in the area there are restaurants, hostels, hotels and other public services (bridges, car parks etc...). Other services on the beach are showers and toilets, as well as signs of the state of the sea. Very close to it are the marinas of Ribadeo and Foz . And in the case of accidents, the Costa-Burela Regional Hospital is in charge of attending to them.

What stands out most about this beach are the 300 meters of cliffs pierced by the tide that form arches similar to the arched arches of Gothic cathedrals (origin of its current name), and that can only be seen at low tide . The beach is protected by those of San Miguel de Reinante ( Barreiros ), Esteiro, As Illas, Os Castros, Areosa and Olga (all from Ribadeo), which, in turn, give their name and make up the ZEC As Catedrais, a protected natural area.

As Catedrais Beach, Spain (No. 1)

The beach is open with fine white sand, washed by a moderate swell. Some years have the Blue Flag . It is a place of pilgrimage to visit its arches and cliffs, including the various eyes (furnas), the Xan Galo island arch and the Chinelo passageway cave, at sand level, and to admire the whole from the footpath from the top of the cliff.

Among its arches are hidden a large number of species of algae, molluscs, birds and vegetables, currently under study through an agreement between the municipality of Ribadeo and the University of Santiago de Compostela.
