Were Can I Buy A Luna Lovegood Lion Hat?

The San Nicolás walks


Nicholas was the son of wealthy parents died in a plague. Made use of their wealth to mitigate misfortunes. Two examples of miraculous: A father who went through bad years and thought to push their three daughters into prostitution to get out of the doldrums was giving away bags of gold to the wedding was going well, their "offspring."
When Nicholas was elevated to the episcopal chair of Mira, a woman, which had provided significant benefits and favors, came home so happy to attend the event, did not realize that left near the kitchen fire a young son, who perished in the flames. When did you know Nicholas, asked that it take and, after praying a prayer, the child returned safely to his mother.
Nicholas, who died around 345 AD, has long Valladolid predicament. Many hand, holy and benevolent, judging by the thousands and thousands of people attending for many years to the church of San Nicolás asking some necessary favors.

St. Nicholas Church

Favors San Nicolas can be obtained from a very simple way: walking. That is, doing what are called "walking to St. Nicholas."
The "walk" consists, as its name suggests, to walk from home Petitioner devoted to the saint asking for some difficult to achieve, to the holy temple of the Trinity Square . It should, for the proper conduct of the (business) miracle, that the movement is made in strict silence, mortification and sacrifice more, no person may cross word friend. They must be three consecutive Mondays with a common prayer, and repeated the request in the first two Mondays. And in the third, is emphasized by three times with this sentence: "Mr. San Nicolas, I come by my request" (a kind of "what's mine," paraliturgy language) is recited in praise, prayer and becomes one / a walking home (silence continue benefactor) in the assurance that the request is fulfilled. San Nicolas de Bari has never disappointed at Valladolid.

I know well that my confidence
not leave disappointed

and see
released my fervent request;
soothe grief because
of this troubled soul

This park will

Leo on the web Water Park Zaragoza of
"With an approximate area of \u200b\u200b120 hectares, is a new urban park concept that combines extensive areas, services and activities for all citizens."

I think it's great we have new and bigger parks, but local politicians sell me what the "new urban park concept "... the truth, I get a few laughs.

Mendoza is a city in Argentina with about 112.00 inhabitants (about 850,000 if you include the entire area underground, the "Gran Mendoza). Since 1896, Mendoza has the Parque San Martín. The photos of a century ago, the start of the park, remember the current status of the Water Park, with its "new concept of urban park."

San Martín Park covers 307 hectares, 17 kilometers of paths and 82 acres for expansion. That is, is three times larger than the Water Park area.

Gate entrance to the Parque San Martín de Mendoza,
topped by a condor, was in 1909 in Zaragoza

If the rains are "scarce" in Mendoza are "2 * low / 3." The average annual rainfall in Mendoza is 223 mm, compared with 318 mm of Zaragoza (source: Wikipedia). So if someone can give us lessons on how to get from Zaragoza water, those are the Mendoza.

The splendor of the San Martin Park relies heavily on Lake Park, a major work that had its origins in 1906 and since then gives racing fans a place to enjoy.

Forest Heritage Park San Martín is over 300 native species America, Asia, Europe and Australia, and also includes a zoo and a Museum of Natural History and Anthropology, founded in 1911, with over 80,000 pieces.

The original draft of the San Martin Park is due to the architect, naturalist and ; French landscaper Carlos Thays, who designed a path in which we combine traditional English and French gardening own nineteenth century. However, more than one hundred years of history, the park has not stopped evolving (this may be some of the recent and current projects ).

Some images to illustrate the current reality of this other "old concept of urban park" with over one hundred years of history.
