Gitelink España -Extremadura and Castilla la Mancha
Castilla
la Mancha & Extremadura in brief:
Castilla la Mancha & Extremadura in brief:Along its coasts and in the centre around Madrid, Spain is a populous country; but between the centre and the periphery lie vast swathes of emptiness, wide open landscapes dotted here and there by dusty villages, rocky hills and small towns. Extremadura and Castilla la Mancha are two such regions lying to the southeast and southwest of the capital.
Extremadura, bordering to its west on Portugal, is one of the poorest regions in Spain; its poverty led in the past to many of its population fleeing elswhere in search of better fortune, often to South America. Two of the greatest "Conquistadores", Pizarro and Cortés, were from this region, and they and others like them brought back wealth which they spent on large country estates and prestigious palaces in towns such as Caceres and Trujillo.
Today the region is sparsely populated; large parts are too poor to cultivate, and are given over to grazing. Elsewhere the landscape is of olive groves or scrub oak and in more fertile parts rolling fields of wheat. But the granite bedrock is never far below the surface, and indeed often breaks through like Dartmoor tors.
Castilla la Mancha is another sparsely populated region, but one where agriculture is more extensive; between the cities of Albacete and Ciudad Real vast wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and there are also important vineyards and other crops. Where there are hills, they are dry and barren, but windy too; this is the country where the legendary Don Quixote wanted to fight the windmills.
The cultural heritage of these regions has remained remarkably intact, and cities such as Merida, Caceres and Toledo (all UNESCO world heritage sites) are among the most fascinating and culturally rich in Spain.
A guide to the regions of Spain
Extrémadure
et Castille la Mancha
en bref
L'Extramadure et Castille la Mancha en bref.L'Espagne est un pays ayant une forte concentration de population autour de Madrid, et sur les côtes; mais centre et périphérie sont séparés par de grandes étendues de vide, des paysages larges et grandioses parsemés par ci et par là de petits villages, de collines rocheuses et de vieilles villes. L'Extremadure et Castille la Mancha font partie de cet anneau du vide au sud-ouest et au sud-est de Madrid.
Région frontalière avec le Portugal, l'Extremadure est une des régions les plus pauvres d'Espagne. Dans le temps la pauvreté et l'appât de la richesse faisaient fuir de nombreux habitants vers les nouvelles terres d'Amérique Latine; parmi eux Pizarro et Cortés et d'autres "Conquistadores", qui ont ramené vers leur région d'origine une richesse qui se manifeste à travers les très belles demeures de Caceres ou de Trujillo.
Aujourd'hui cette région a une faible densité de population; sur de grandes étendues, trop pauvres pour la culture, on élève des ovins et du bétail. Ailleurs, des champs de céréales ou de cultures diverses nichent entre brousse et oliveraies; mais le granite n'est jamais loin de la surface.
La région de Castille La Mancha est à peine plus peuplée que l'Extremadure, mais ici l'agriculture est plus développée. De grands champs de blé s'étendent entre les villes d'Albacète et Ciudad Real, et la région a aussi un vignoble étendu. Là où les collines dépassent la plaine, elles sont arides et sèches, et le vent y souffle fort. C'est ici que le légendaire Don Quichote souhaitait se battre contre les moulins à vent.
Le patrimoine culturel de ces deux régions a très bien résisté au temps, et des villes comme Mérida, Cacerès et Tolède (toutes inscrites au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité) sont parmi les plus fascinantes et historiques d'Espagne.
