※ This video is part of the <World Theme Travel - Into Passion, Southern Spain Travel 2-3> broadcast from March 18 to 20, 2014. Spain, a country of hot sun and passion. Spain, located on the Iberian Peninsula in southern Europe, is a place where the New World was pioneered during the Middle Ages and a brilliant golden age blossomed, but it is also a beautiful place blessed by nature. Seville, located on the Andalusian plains, has blossomed its culture on top of its turbulent history, and around the Sierra Nevada Mountains covered in perennial snow, there are people who coexist with the beautiful natural environment. You can see huge sand dunes in Doñana National Park, and if you walk along the beach of the sun, 'Costa del Sol', you will come across white villages and the Strait of Gibraltar where England and Spain coexist. La Mancha is the setting of Miguel de Cervantes' novel 'Don Quixote', and traces of Don Quixote remain everywhere. Let's go and find the diverse and unique aspects of Spain. - ■ (1) Andalusia, embraced by nature Andalusia is not only a place rich in culture and history, but also a place where you can see various natural landscapes. 'Antequera', located in the middle of Seville, Granada, and Cordoba, is also called the heart of Andalusia. Although it is a small town surrounded by mountains, it has a huge limestone terrain that nature created over two million years. The magnificent rock formations created by the erosion of the limestone terrain by water and wind are a fantastic landscape that seems to be from another world. When you go to the sea of Andalusia, you will meet clam fishermen. Spain is warm, but the sea is still cold in February, and the fishermen run around with clam nets to catch as many clams as possible in a limited time. Before going to Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain peak in Spain, we visited Guadix, a village where people live in caves. Cave houses, a comfortable space that maintains a temperature of 20 degrees regardless of the season. We meet the people who still live in them. The last journey is the Sierra Nevada trek. You will see the Sierra Nevada, a huge mountain range that stands alone with its perennial snow, where you can see snow in warm southern Europe. ■ (2) Along the Costa del Sol, the Beach of the Sun The Costa del Sol, the Beach of the Sun, refers to the coastline that borders the Mediterranean Sea, passing through Granada, Malaga, and Almeria. Houses are gathered in white along this warm southern seaside. Also known as the 'White Village'. We will walk through the beautiful seaside towns of 'Frigiliana', called the Santorini of Spain, and 'Nerja', called the Balcony of Europe. In the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, in the Andalusia region, there is a small peninsula that extends toward the Strait of Gibraltar. It is where the British autonomous city of Gibraltar is located, and Britain and Spain coexist at the same time. If you climb the Rock of Gibraltar, you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and Africa all at once, and it is the only place in Europe where you can see monkeys. Enjoy the dazzling white light while walking along the Costa del Sol. ■ (3) La Mancha, Walking the Path of Don Quixote Doñana National Park is a park located on the coast and has the largest sand dunes in Europe that move 4-6m every year. Also, various animals live in it. 'Rio Tinto' means 'red river'. The unique scenery of the red river flowing is a phenomenon that occurred because of the abundance of iron in the water, and this area was once famous for its iron mines. La Mancha, the setting of the novel 'Don Quixote' written by Miguel de Cervantes. In the vast La Mancha Plateau, there is 'The Path of Don Quixote (La Ruta de Don Quijote)' that follows the footsteps of Don Quixote! The scene of Don Quixote mistaking a windmill for a giant and charging at it is a famous scene from the novel. Walking along the Path of Don Quixote, you can easily see windmills standing like a painting on the vast plains that stretch out endlessly. The dazzling scenery created by the windmills built on the hill of 'Campo de Criptana', El Toboso where 'Princess Dulcinea' lived, Cuenca, a fortress city built on a cliff, etc. Let's visit La Mancha along the Path of Don Quixote. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - Into Passion, Southern Spain Travel Part 2-3 ✔ Broadcast date: 2018.03.21 #TVViewingGolladunDocumentary 00:00:00 (1) Along the Costa del Sol, the Beach of the Sun 00:31:21 (2) Andalusia, Embraced by Mother Nature 00:55:08 (3) La Mancha, Walking the Path of Don Quixote
