*Conhecida como a cidade galega do termalismo, onde mesmo no centro se pode aproveitar os mananciais de água quente,
Ourense é, de facto, boa para descontrair, mas nao apenas para ir a banhos. É terra com vida - diurna e noturna -,
onde comer e beber bem é quase uma questao de orgulho. Fica já ali, a coisa de duas horas e meia de CAMINHO para quem
parte do Porto.

-A grandiosa Catedral de Ourense, cuja construcao comencou no século XII, é um dos atrativos da cidade. À sua volta
encontram-se esplanadas.

Ourense/Orense - Minho Valley, Via de la Plata.
ReplyDeleteRising northeast of Lugo, the Minho River sweeps through much of Galicia in a southwest direction and forms part of the border between Spain and Portugal, before it meets the Atlantic Ocean near A Guarda.
Its lower sections run through a little-explored region of vineyards, monasteries and hidden valleys, watering the pleasant Provincial Capital of Ourense on the way.
Ourense/Orense, population: about 107,500.
Little-visited Ourense is the Capital of Galicia's inland Province, a rural zone with rocky hills and pastured valleys where much wheat is farmed and cheese and wine are made.
The town itself is a prosperous center with active streetlife.
Once you get away from the busy roads and into the pedestrianized old town, it is a pleasant place indeed, with several beautiful plazas, and well worth a visit.
A series of thermal springs make it a great spot to banish chills too.
Background Ourense.
Although tradition claims that the city's name derives from OURO, meaning gold, it actually comes from the warm springs; the Roman Town was named "Aquae Urentes" (warm waters).
It was later an important City of the Suevish Kingdom, and later of the Visigoths.
As an important linking point between Galicia and the rest of Spain, Ourense flourished after its repopulation during the Reconquista.
Following the decline that seemed to affect almost every city in Spain at some point, it is now a prosperous region, thriving as Capital of this significant agricultural Province.

OURENSE - LA GALICE - LE BAS MINHO.
ReplyDeleteOurense, C.P. 3200, 109 000 hab.
Capitale de la Province du même nom, Ourense a eu dans les temps anciens une histoire mouvementée.
Bâtie par les Celtes, conquise par les Romains qui
appréciaient ses sources thermales, détruite par les Wisigoths puis par les Maures et les Normands, la ville Ourense a du mérite à être toujours là.
Au Moyen Âge, c'est une cité prospère grâce aux vins du Ribeiro, dont trois sont des AOC, Le Blanc Ribeiro, le Ribeiro Sacra (rouge) et le Valdeorras.
Sa configuration générale date de cette époque et, si
le Quartier Ancien possède surtout des maisons des
XVIe et XVIIIe siècle, le plan de la ville reste celui d'une cité dont les fortifications furent rapidament inutiles.
On passe sans heurts des Quartiers Anciens à l'Ensanche (Ville Nouvelle), puis aux Faubourgs.
Ourense a longtemps servi d'étape Compostellane importante sur la Via de la Plata (Séville-Santiago),
et du Chemin Oriental de Portugal Tavirense (XIVe siècle).
C'est aujourd'hui une grande ville calme et reposante.
Doit-on préciser que l'amoureux des vieilles pierres trouvera ici son bonheur?
Rien que dans le MUNICIPIO d'Ourense, on a compté 49 églises, 43 palais ou maisons nobles, 23 sources thermales ou fontaines historiques,
auxquels il faut ajouter les ponts médiévaux, les anciens moulins et les calvaires.
Rassurez-vous il y a aussi des discothèques, des thermes et un pont très moderne, nommé le MILLENIUM, qui fait office de Mirador.
