Another mountain conquered!
In this pic you can just see the Burg Bellver from where you
can have a splendid view over Palma.
But if you take the motors a bit further away towards Andratx,
you can have more than a splendid view over the whole island!
Check the signs for Gènova and drive up the hill until Burguesa.
There she is, the lady of Peace,
Nuestra Señora de la Paz.
Must say, once you have made it half way up the hill
you cannot really see the high positioned lady at all.
(...) steht eine Skulptur des Künstlers Joan Ginard Ferere alias Sarasate,
die zur Verehrung von Nuestra Señora de la Paz
(Unsere Frau des Friedens) errichtet wurde.
Nuestra Sra. de la Paz : En el año 1924, el urbanista y jefe de Obras Públicas
Bernat Calvet cedió 10.000 metros cuadrados de terreno en la cima del puig
del Caragol (conocido como Na Burguesa) para construir el monumento
dedicado a Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Las obras no se realizaron, aunque
en 1940 se construyó una capilla dedicada al Inmaculado Corazón de María
.La actual configuración proviene del año 1967, de 22 metros de altura y forma
prismática. Recientemente se ha instalado, como coronamiento, una imagen
de la Inmaculada Concepción llamada Nuestra Señora de la Paz. la escultura
data de 1985 y es obra del artista de Artà (Mallorca) Joan Ginard Ferrer,
llamado Sarasate (1915-1990).
Well, you can see her from the back, when
hiking through the forest.
Serra de Na Burguesa (Balearic Catalan pronunciation: formerly
Serra de Portopí or Sierra de Porto Pi, meaning "Port of Pine Mountain")
is a well-defined mountain on the island of Majorca (WIKI here and there)
Serra de Na Burguesa, honors Francesc Burgués, the Solicitor-General
of the Spanish Crown, who, from the early sixteenth century, owned the Bendinat
farm at the foot of the mountain. Bendinat is now a residential zone in Calvià.
A lot of pine trees all over.
BUT
beware of the procesionares!
The larval stage of some Thaumetopoeinae are known as processionary caterpillars,
so named because they move in columns in search of food, resembling a procession.
Some of the species, like the pine and oak processionaries, can constitute a health
hazard due to their urticating hairs.
Dear Wikipedia: urticating?
NOKKOSROKKO = Nesselsucht / urticaria
To have or produce a stinging sensation, as of nettles or urticating hair.
Very decorative.
Really, you should avoid touching those beasts!
For dogs it's even worse.
Lucky me, don't own a dog. Yet.
Mallorca.
