The monument is named after the siege and occupation of the Moroccan city of Tetuan by General Joan Prim and Catalan volunteers. It was formerly called Hermenegildo Giner de los Ríos. Primavera Hostel is less than 1km away and that was our adventure for Day 24.</span></td></tr>

Its design resembles an eyelid that opens to access the surrounding water pool. The bottom of the pool is glass, creating the illusion of the eye as a whole.

The underground spaces are illuminated with the use of translucent glass panels within the walking path. The transparent roof is supported by concrete arches that connect to the sunken gallery.

Alhambra was founded, as you can imagine, in the Andalusian city of Granada in 1925. Today it is the signature brand of this city, and one of the most widely consumed beers in southern Spain. Easy to drink, this is an outstanding example of a European lager. Golden amber in color, with a full bodied flavor developed over a slow, controlled fermentation of roughly 60 days. Mild grassy hop aromas along with hints of grain malt. Medium-light bodied and lightly carbonated. Perfectly balanced, with notes ranging from bitter orange to a slightly caramel finish. </span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: large;">In 713, with the Muslim conquest, the city is renamed Qal’at, an Araba word for a fortified population. It is around the year 1000, when the watchtower of La Mota becomes a real fortress, appearing as one of the most important nuclei of Al-Andalus under the aegis of the Banu Said family. Subsequently, after the dissolution of the Caliphate and its split in the Kingdoms of Taifas, Qal’at became a stronghold of the Nasrid kingdom from which numerous incursions were made against Jaen and other Castilian borderlands. Finally it was conquered in 1341 (century and a half before the fall of the Nasrid kingdom) by Alfonso XI, who granted the title to him of La Real that since then it appears in his toponym. From this moment on his shield is a key, symbol of its strategic importance. In 1432 King John II granted him the status of a city.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: large;">City Hall of Seville - Visitors to Seville will notice a symbol on many signs around the city, from taxis and buses to sewer covers, consisting of the letters ´NO8DO´. This is the city´s logo, and legend says that it originates from the 13th-century coat of arms awarded to Sevilla by King Alfonso X the Wise. He bestowed it in gratitude for Seville´s support in his battles against his son, Sancho IV of Castile, who wanted to usurp his father´s throne during the Reconquest. Between the ´NO and ´DO´ is an 8-shaped bundle of wool (madeja in Spanish). Add the three together, speaking in Seville´s fast, elliptical accent and you have ´no-madeja-do´, more correctly, ´no me ha dejado´ which means ´it (the city) has not abandoned me´. The motto was his reward to the people of Seville for their loyalty.</span></td></tr>

The choice of this particular building was due to the views of the Giralda that it owns, which were of great relevance to the artist, since most of his work revolved around the mentioned monument.</span></td></tr>

Don Diego de Susona, a wealthy merchant, was one such converso, and alarmed by the threat to his position, he convened a secret meeting of prominent conversos to discuss the possibility of armed insurrection.</span></td></tr>
