off the beaten tracks by Manu Usuá Rio https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu The place that I have chosen isn't really off the beaten tracks, but a special viewpoint that I like to contempt when I walk into the old town of Mataró. It’s the cross between Barcelona Street, St. Cristòfol Street and Baixada de les Escaletes. en-us 2018-11-26 22:39:02 UTC 2024-10-15 06:01:13 UTC hello@padlet.com The history behind us here katecu_alternative https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308064468 It must have been one of the key connections of Iluro with the sea to the inhabitants. The hill offered physical security, was more effective and difficulty to the invaders and the wall, now hidden inside the building. Sometimes I imagine someone looking out from a tower watching over if the boats are coming are friends or not, or the fishermen carrying their bags plenty of fish upward, under a burning sun]]> 2018-11-26 23:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308064468 Not a lonely space katecu_alternative https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308064889 Yes, it’s not a lonely space. Nevertheless people pass through this vibrant crossroads because of the shopping. The slope to the sea gives you an interesting and focused view to the sea. Moreover, if you know that there was once here a gate in Roman times, it makes you realize that the square, the streets were no put here at random. Barcelona Street follows the line of the ancient wall (a little bit curved).]]> 2018-11-26 23:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308064889 No casual telluric place katecu_alternative https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308065645 The Peixateria Square has a kind of telluric ambiance for me. Maybe in the early morning is when you feel more vividly the past for the stones and the path and tracks that have become our streets today.
For while buildings may stand for 100 years, beaten or hidden tracks may last thousands.. And all these footprints talk together in the quiet and calm night and grip me.]]> 2018-11-26 23:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308065645 Here! katecu_alternative https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308068721 2018-11-26 23:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308068721 Mataró in the XIX century katecu_alternative https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308068888 2018-11-26 23:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/katecu_alternative/5er0r0u7l4tu/wish/308068888
