Urederra (from the basque; ur- "water", -ederra "beautiful") is the natural exit of the aquifer created in the rock massif karst of Urbasa, Navarre. The river rises in The Natural Park of Urbasa-Andía (Sierra de Urbasa), near the village Baquedano. It is 19 km long and flows into the Ega River, which is a tributary of the Ebro. The first emerge is produced in a 713 metres high clift in the southern ledge of the rock massif and makes a more than 100 metres waterfall which with the passing of the years has modelled a rocky and karstic landscape.

Urederra in summer

Behind the waterfall there are some smaller waterfalls and a lot of river pools whose water has a unique turquoise colour, which is a remarkable feature os the Urederra River. Because of the karst the small waterfalls and pools have been made. The karstic area also enables water to strain through the cracks of the rocks and issuing from inside the land.

FLORA AND FAUNA
n the Urederra river pools, waterfalls and water curtains can be seen surrounded by a dense forest where oaks, elms, maples, yews, hazelnuts and specially beeches are found. The diversity of flora is also remarkable in the fauna, among another species the vulture, the Egyptian vulture, the white tailed kite, the eagle and the raven are protagonists of the animal.

ACCESS
The official path to see the waterfalls of the Urederra River is the one called << the route of the waterfalls of Baquedano>>, a pedestrian trail that starts in the parking of the village, which is fited out for the visitors. It has a low level of difficulty of 5,3 kilometres long and goes over the course of the river in the opposite way and ends in the source of the Urederra. The trail is signalled by markers and it is recommended to go from the left part which is near the river and return from the eastern path which goes higher and further from the river.

Santimamiñe and Pozalagua prehistoric caves

# data[].attributes.body
Santimamiñe
Santimamiñe Caves are located in an unparalleled setting: on the right bank of the River Urdaibai and on the foothill of Ereñozar Mountain.

Santimamiñe's cave paintings were discovered in 1916 as, out of curiosity, some boys ran into them. The paintings depict several animals such as horses, goats, deer or dun bears.

Santimamiñe features big geological beauty, with lots of stalactites and stalagmites that sometimes unite forming magnificent columns all through the cave's itinerary. On the other hand, there are concretion layers on the walls that form fine calcic carbonate-curtains, sometimes white and sometimes red due to the amounts of iron oxide found in the waters.

The caves have been closed to the public since 2006. Nonetheless, hour and a half long guided tours are offered. For starters, visitors enter the cave, allowing them to admire the site. They can also enjoy the spectacular natural environment. Then, they can make their way to the chapel of San Mamés, which has been turned into an interpretative centre. There, with the aid of a sophisticated virtual tour, one can travel to the inside of the cave, including the famous cave paintings.

Pozalagua
Measuring approximately 125 metres in length, and with four 40-metre-deep twin chasms, these caves are a quite magnificent sight to behold. The interior of the Pozalagua Caves is home to the largest concentration of helictites in the world. They were discovered in 1957 by chance by a group of workers who were blasting a nearby quarry.

The caves are filled with stalactites and stalagmites, but the helictites provide the most spectacular sight of all. Defying gravity, they shoot out in all directions. They intertwine and tie together in knots, creating a rich array of magnificent figures.

A large space known as the 'Auditorium' also merits a special mention. The ground in this 'room' is formed by miniature carbonate dams which retain the water.

The Pozalagua caves have been named as the 2013 best place in Spain by Repsol.

One of my hometowns is Tokyo, the biggest metropolis in the world with a population of almost 38 million people. I love showing my city to visitors because there is always so much to do -- Tokyo has everything from some of the most incredible food in the world, great places to shop, historical and religious sites, natural beauty, advanced public transportation systems to the notoriously quirky modern Japanese culture that revolves around technology and anime.

One of my favorite places to take my visiting friends is Tokyo Disney Resort, which is a combination of Disneyland and Disney Sea, the latter which is centered around aquatic rides and themes. The atmosphere at the Disney Resorts captures the culture of Tokyo in many ways: an emphasis on friendliness, excitement and entertainment. Other exciting places I like to take my friends include the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Harajuku, Roppongi and Shinjuku, all of which are constantly packed with people, restaurants, stores and bright lights. Tokyo is truly a vibrant city that is buzzing 24/7.

In start contrast to this exciting, flashy, modern setting, the central parts of Tokyo -- not the outskirts of the city -- are filled with historical shrines, temples and castles. Japan is a constitutional monarchy, so the Emperor is less of a political figure but a public, ceremonial one instead. The Emperor's palace is located in the center of the city, surrounded by beautiful displays of nature and miles of paths for runners or joggers to enjoy. During the Spring especially, cherry blossoms are widespread, and many locals engage in a tradition called "Hanami," which literally translates to "watching/looking at flowers," where everyone gets together with friends and family and picnic in parks amongst the cherry blossoms (Sakura). In addition to shrines and nature, I also love showing my friends around the Tsukiji fish market, which is the biggest wholesale fish market in the world. The sushi is incredible -- and for everyone who doesn't like fish, there are plenty of other options in Tokyo  that are still absolutely delicious.

Vizcaya Suspension Bridge. Unesco's heritage

# data[].attributes.body
Since July 13, 2006 the Puente de Vizcaya is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the only monument in the Basque Country in it, and the only one in the Industrial Heritage category in all of Spain. It was the first transporter bridge in the world and has been in service since its inauguration in 1893.

This excellent feat of engineering was designed by Biscay-born architect Alberto de Palacio, a follower and collaborator of Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the famous tower in Paris. Indeed, the bridge resembles the tower quite closely; it stands at the point where the estuary of Bilbao widens to join the sea.

Popularly known as the “Puente Colgante” (hanging bridge), it is a spectacular iron structure that links the towns of Portugalete and Getxo, on either side of the estuary.

Getaria is a walled medieval town sitting on a hillside. The silhouette of Mount San Antón, better known as "the Mouse of Getaria", draws special attention and comes out into the sea. Located in the Urola Kosta region, in the historical territory of Gipuzkoa, the town famous as it is the birthplace of a sailor and a couturier: Juan Sebastián Elkano and Cristóbal Balenciaga.

Monument to Elkano

As soon as we get to Getaria, we will find a monument honouring Juan Sebastián Elkano, appointed illustrious son of the town. The sculpture displays elements of the Art Deco style, which was in vogue during the period in which it was built. It sits on an old bastion of the wall of Getaria, which serves as its base. The monument is crowned with a Winged Victory of Samothrace, in the style of the figureheads which adorned the prow of the vessels. On the lower section, a bas-relief by the same sculptor portrays Juan Sebastián Elkano.

It should be mentioned that there are two statues of Elkano in town.

Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa

The figure of Cristóbal Balenciaga is present in town where he was born in 1895. His birthplace now pays homage to him with this unique museum which houses one of the world’s most important fashion collections. The Balenciaga museum is located in the old quarter of Getaria, in a new building adjoining the Palacio Aldamar.

A fishing port full of charm

Getaria is for sure the port with most flavour in Gipuzkoa. Its fishing fleet and modern facilities make it possible the treatment of the recently caught fish. The port has many canning industries, restaurants and steakhouses. Grilled fish of the Bay of Biscay is the town's speciality and it should be accompanied by Getaria's "txakoli" (local white wine with appellation of origin).

Numerous tourists arrive in this full-of-charm locality attracted by its two beautiful beaches: Malkorbe and Gaztetape. On its narrow streets leading to the port, the church of San Salvador stands out. It is a beautiful Gothic-style church dating back to the 15th century with an irregular ground plan that adapts to the terrain with certain slope. Inside, an important archaeological site was found. Among other remains, rectangular stone graves as well as more modern necropolis.

Elkano's landings

The traditional festivities are held in early August and consecrated to San Salvador. Anyway, every four years on August the 7th Getaria stages Elkano's landings. The seafarer reached Sanlúcar de Barrameda on September 6th of 1522 along with 17 crewmembers (265 in all), after going around the world for three years.

Along the coast of northern Spain lies a geological treasure as old as the dinosaurs. Zumaia’s two beaches, Itzurun and Santiago, house flysch, one of the longest sets of solid rock strata in the world.

Flysch is a sedimentary rock that forms in thin layers of interbedded silt and sandstone. This natural phenomenon occurs from rapid changes in sea level and interactions of the European and Iberian tectonic plates. The pushing and heaving of water, sediments and grain particles result in layer upon layer of extensive parallel grooves in the rock.

The flysch at the Itzurun beach stretches roughly 4.9 miles (8 kilometers) and has formed over a period of 100 million years, taking the rock strata’s age back to the Mesozoic era of around 252 to 66 million years ago. The layers lean west to east; older strata are located west while newer are on the east.

The town of Zumaia is a popular tourist destination that offers activities like surfing, underwater fishing and kayaking.

The small neighbourhood of Oma, in Kortezubi, contains a singular spot known as Bosque Animado (the Animated Forest) close to the Santimamiñe caves. The Bilbao sculptor and artist Agustín Ibarrola painted it in 1984.

This is an enchanted forest located in a magical area that stresses a new connection between nature and art. There, the artist left traces on trees and stones aiming to link the works of the ancestral Palaeolithic artists with the modern tendency known as land art, an artistic current that works directly over the natural landscape, being the landscape itself the artist's cloth.

Thus, Ibarrola confined himself to paint the surface of pine trees, being aware that the holder he was using was not as inert as the cloth. Most of the figures are scattered around different trees, which are situated in different depths. So, Ibarrola, when covering thousands of pine trees with colours and life, created an enormous cloth that each visitor can compose again playing with the perspective while walking.

We will find the chance to build a personalised work by means of decisions that we will make in the forest, walking along one or another path, looking at different spots. Therefore, for each visitor this forest that exists in different ways.

Gaztelugatxe is a little isle onn the coast of Vizcaya that belongs to the town of Bermeo. It is connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge. On top of the island stands a hermitage named San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. It is dedicated to Juan Bautista and it dates from the 10th century.
There is another small neighboring island calles Aketx that, along with Gaztelugatxe, forms  a protected biotope that extend from the town of Bakio to the Matxitxako cape.
The landscape is beautiful. Thousands of tourists go there every year, specially during the spring and summer periods.
Besides, it appeared in the last season of the popular series Game of Thrones, under the name of Dragon Rock. This fact has attracted more tourist in the recent months.
It is not difficult to reach the place by car, altohugh the road is full of curves.
The way through the bridge needs to be done by foot and it lasts for approximately 40 (one way) minutes.
Once you reach the hermitage, the tradition says that you have to ring the bell to attract good luck.
There are a couple of restaurants with great pintxos nearby.

-Los Angeles County contains 88 cities.  This is one of the largest counties in the United States, and it is a great city to visit and get to know.  There are so many places to visit, and I definitely recommend coming here at least once.

Hollywood
-Hollywood is well known all around the world for being the center of media and entertainment in America.  There are many famous tourist spots in Hollywood including the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory, and Hollywood boulevard with world famous theaters.

Santa Monica
-Along with a tourist spot like hollywood, Los Angeles is also very well known for the beach and coastline as is most of California.  Santa Monica is one of the premier spots to surf and spend time at the beach, and is also famous for the Santa Monica Pier.  This is a small amusement park on a pier, and also the starting point of Route 66.

Downtown
-Downtown Los Angeles is filled with shops, large office buildings, and several sports stadiums.  This is definitely an area worth visiting, with LA Live, Disney Hall, and several cultural towns including Chinatown, Koreatown, and Little Tokyo.  One of the great things about Los Angeles is that there are always events happening whether it is one of our nine major sports teams, concerts , or other events. Los Angeles is a great city to visit, and has a great temperature and layout.

The "Nica" Way
Nicaragua is an authentic and cultural destination with much to offer. From small rural villages, to hustling marketplaces, to city atmospheres, to volcanoes in the countryside, and to beautiful coast, one can never be bored.

Nagarote
Nagarote is a small village which is an hour bus ride from the capital city. The town embraces its simple, lasting charm. People travel by horse and buggy, bicycle, or pickup truck. There are no street signs (the grocery store is north of the river... the bakery is south of the volcano). Every Friday, the village is filled with music, food, and festivities. At night, they have their weekly "running of the bull."

Masaya
Masaya is the location of an active volcano. Tourists can climb to the top and look down into the splashing pit of lava. Near the volcano, there is an extensive market selling hand-made jewelry, hammocks, clothing, toys, and clothing.

Managua
Managua is the bustling capital city of Nicaragua. It has several attractions, specifically the country's monuments to Rubén Dario. Managua also has an incredible street-food scene. A few of my favorites are: quesillos, gallo pinto, nacatamal, rosquillos, and torta de horno.

León
Leon is a town known for their diverse food market. You can hear the women in frilled smocks barter prices from streets away. The stands are filled with vegetables and fruits of all kinds and colors. There are spices in bags stacked upon the shelves. There is raw meat hanging from the tents, as the women swat the flies away with rags. There are live iguanas lined up with rubber bands around their mouths and feet, waiting to be chosen by hungry customers.

Nicaragua is a lively, modern country where authentic traditions are still preserved.

People tend to assume that the name means Golden [Gate Bridge], as in a golden bridge over a gate, but it's really the [Golden Gate] Bridge, as in a bridge over the Golden Gate. The spot was called the Golden Gate long before the bridge was there, because it was the gateway to the San Francisco Bay, which was the most important harbor in California, and in 1848, everyone realized California had a lot of gold.

The bridge was built in the 1930s so that rich people in Marin wouldn't have to take the ferry to get to work in San Francisco. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge anyone had attempted to build. The construction was hugely beneficial for the economy, but it was also quite dangerous, and eleven builders died in the process.

The bridge is now known for its design and distinctive orange color, and has become the most well-known landmark in the Bay Area. When characters on TV shows visit the Bay Area, there's always an obligatory shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, even if they're visiting some part of the area that isn't near the bridge, like Silicon Valley, and they would have no reason to cross it. It attracts many tourists, who can walk or bike across on the walkways on either side of the bridge's road.

The bridge is still an important piece of infrastructure, but its width (only six lanes) creates capacity limitations, so it forms a bottleneck and causes traffic problems. This issue is mitigated somewhat by changing the directions of the middle two lanes throughout the day in accordance with the direction of traffic, but this doesn't solve the problem entirely. A full solution would likely require the construction of another bridge, but that is unlikely to happen as the site is a historic landmark.

I'm from Boston, which is a city in the northeastern United States. Boston is a very historic city, and one of the older cities in the US, since it was founded in 1630. It's also an important area in American history, since many events leading up to the American Revolution took place there. There are lots of spots to visit, but here are a few of my favorites:

BOSTON COMMON/BEACON HILL

The Public Garden is a classic tourist spot in Boston, but it’s in the heart of the city so lots of everyday people walk through it as well. It’s a park with lots of beautiful flowers, trees, and fountains, and at the center there’s a pond where you can take a ride on one of the famous Swan Boats. Across the street is the Boston Common, where you can splash in Frog Pond in the summer or skate on it in the winter. At the far end of the Common is the State House, where the government of Massachusetts is located, and around it is Beacon Hill, which has old houses and narrow brick streets and is usually the image many people associate with Boston.

FENWAY

The Fenway is the location of Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox (our baseball team) and the most quintessentially Boston experience. The stadium was built in 1912 and still feels like it (for example, someone changes the scores by hand throughout the game). The Red Sox also have some of the most passionate fans in the United States, and the stadium is usually full for every game, leading to a lively atmosphere. Besides sports, however, the Fenway has lots of pathways to walk along the river, and it’s also home to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s art museum. The MFA has a large American Wing with art from the Americas spanning several hundred years, as well as a really nice courtyard and plenty of interesting traveling exhibits and permanent collections.

NORTH END/GREENWAY

The North End is a very old neighborhood and has lots of historic sites from the American Revolution, but it’s also famous for its large population of Italian immigrants. Visiting either Mike’s Pastry or Modern Pastry for their cannoli is an experience not to be missed. Just a bit outside of the North End is the beginning of the Greenway, which is a new park that replaced a highway and goes from the North End to Chinatown. It has a carousel and lots of art installations, and it’s a nice place to walk around and take in the city.

WATERFRONT

Boston has a large harbor which, although it’s not very much in use today, used to be a hub for trade ships crossing the Atlantic. Today, the waterfront is a nice place to walk and has lots of interesting sites along it as well. One of my favorites is the Aquarium, which has a tank of seals outside who you can visit with without even paying admission! Inside there’s a giant ocean tank which is the heart of the aquarium, goes up several stories, and is home to the legendary 80-year-old sea turtle Myrtle. If you don’t want to visit the aquarium, you can go further down the waterfront to the Institute of Contemporary Art, which has a giant glass window looking out on the harbor and lots of interesting exhibits inside.

GEORGE’S ISLAND

If you’re in Boston for a bit, I would highly recommend taking the ferry out to George’s Island, which is about a 30-45 minute ride. The island is home to an old fort which was never actually put into use but which did house some Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. You can explore all of its hidden rooms if you bring a flashlight, and there are rumors that it’s haunted by the widow of one of the soldiers killed there, but if ghosts aren’t your thing there are plenty of rooms that are well-lit by sunlight, as well as a rocky shoreline to explore. It’s very fun, but not very well-known, and I would definitely recommend it!

The coast redwoods in Muir Woods National Monument, just north of San Francisco, tower over you. Walking there is walking through the pages of a fantasy storybook, surrounded by trees and rolling streams. You become submerged in the sense of ancient and mighty wonder released by the trees. The tallest redwood is well over 200 feet tall and the eldest is about 1200 years old! The trees can reach 25 feet thick as well,  and there are some you can wander on the paths straight through.

Owls, chipmunks, otters, bats, rainbow trout and woodpeckers populate the woods. The focus for me was on the atmosphere and the feeling of being in the woods, less so on the animals living there. The juxtaposition with the Golden Gate Bridge and the city of San Francisco a short drive south of the woods is inevitable, but see a different post for that.

Despite living less than a hundred miles of from the Illinois border for most of my life and in the Second City for the rest, I have not been able to find anything in Illinois on the scale of natural wonder encompassed by Muir Woods. While there are certainly touristic spots in Illinois, especially those within the city of Chicago, outside of the northern parts of the Midwest it is difficult to find similar natural wonders.

On the northern edge of the Upper Peninsula of the State of Michigan, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and the Big Spring Kitch-iti-kipi stand out as natural wonders in more wild and untouched parts of the central United States. The more north and closer to Canada you get as you move out from Illinois the less dense the population becomes, and the more dense become the natural treasures.

Each one can touch a person in a different way, and each treasure has the possibility of touching a person at their core. Muir Woods touched me in that way; each other landmark, I am sure, has left a similar mark on someone else.
