Painted caciquismo in Carballiño
The first surprise of this little trip I took to go sit at the end of the airplane as it sat beside me the director of ABC . You will know who is to be a common set of circuit television commentators, I later learned was called Angel Expósito when I went to pick with the little sign, I do not like such bad and it's funny because it has a fairly Madrid accent markers . The first thing that came to mind was the question of what newspaper would take when you give the hostess took off again. Well I was reading his, it would bring, that it is run. Do you read for pleasure or is it already working? Then when they came to the press asked the country, another newspaper rights to the end of the day.
Remnants of the storm
The second surprise was the Galician landscape that housed the road from Santiago to O Carballino province of Orense. Eucalyptus trees, lawns, big houses scattered and mostly foggy. Never forgot it but it is hard to imagine so much green going down the mountains of Leon.
The ITV laptop.
La tercer y mayúscula sorpresa fue el viaducto donde iba, un puente para el AVE que salva el valle del río Arenteiro. Es un puente de hormigón de casi dos kilómetros de largo, totalmente recto y con una pendiente del 2 %, la máxima permitida para un tren de alta velocidad. Unos kilómetros más adelante está el viaducto sobre el valle del Barbantiño, un puente más corto pero de mucha más altitud, y por tanto con unas pilas espectaculares. Este último además tiene la particularidad de que al bajar -o subir, según se mire- en curva da la sensación desde lejos que hace un tirabuzón pero es un efecto óptico.
De los pueblos de Galicia cuentan que se come bien y en abundance, there is the little restaurant is easy for someone that brings a pot and throw yourself to your liking. It's true, and I ate at a restaurant in a village between Maside Carballiño and unfortunately forgot the name of the place and the restaurant. The place seemed stuck in the seventies, with fake wood chairs, old curtains and oilcloth stale, "but the decor is eaten?
- What do you eat?
-Rice and octopus.
Rice was paella and was not there, the rice a little old. The Galician-style octopus with potatoes and paprika. We were three, and they brought trays paths for the first and the second to take freely.
"Listen, and do not have salad?
"No, no.
"Too bad, so I like the salad here.
"One moment, I'll see if there is.
And indeed there was, and with a household vinegar as good as the coffee and cream liqueur-pomace also home preparations. In addition it was someone at another table asked steak house, and then put to do, and nothing was ordered and was to give.
Well, after you open your mouth I'll talk a little bridges. There are several types of bridge and therefore various types of construction, some very curious and ingenious, techniques unknown to most people. Broadly speaking, these two bridges are being built by Orense push or throw. First set of batteries, ie the columns that hold the board, the horizontal part of the bridge. The board is built piece by piece on one side of the bridge, these chunks are called segments. Each segment is built as I say in one side of the bridge, to be concrete, for enconfrado. These segments are "overlapping" of pre-techniques, internal steel cables to the classical estrucutura and rebar, one by one as they are pushed together, thus forming the final board. The batteries are necessary to support this board horizontal increasing progresses to the other side of the future bridge. What drives these are all hydraulic equipment to push or pull, and if there is pending in this case there are teams retained and that these masses are the bridges brutal caught a lot of inertia, despite the stability that can reach appear. Movimas transmission hydraulic equipment on the bridge itself is over wires or cords of steel (something like "would pull a string weight.)
