Notes from a Cornish trip to Finisterre with Manuel Vilar
The Regional Seminar of Studies for the Promotion of Cultural Heritage of Costa da Morte (SEMESCOM) organized a trip to see the Cornish Finisterre. Thirty-seven people linked to the Costa da Morte traveled up the peninsula to Cornwall for a week, knowing that old Celtic country with many parallels to our own.
The trip was organized thinking that the visitors took at least one picture of the elements 60 s fashion defining the specificity Cornish. So we had as objectives the landscape, the megalithic, mining, tourism, legends, language, the Finisterre, the headlights.
It is striking in all the British Isles the care and respect for the landscape. The landscape is not only nature, the environment is more history. The landscape is as a cultural construction that defines the identity of a country and the people who inhabit it. Along the Cornish peninsula verified as respect for the landscape is a constant, which are not great fanfare 60 s fashion in it, everything appears to be placed carefully and without doing damage to what was already in place. The walls of Agras still standing 60 s fashion since before the industrial 60 s fashion revolution, from the time of the enclosure act, when the communal lands were closed by the landlord, which allowed the concentration of them in a few hands and creating a mass that would provide unemployed labor cheap the industry.
S The local roads are narrow, but always with good strong and well signposted. Following the paths of the old ways and not anchean to expedite the passage of transit vehicles, do not throw the walls, do not cut the trees that are on your side, so sometimes we go through real tunnels vegetables, and there are deep cuts in the mountains. Someone here said that the mayors do not know the expression "put the shovel."
It may seem somewhat dull this landscape, but surprised with the attention that is treated, the various protected areas, care of it, see the coastline free of buildings, the mountains without viraventos (although we have seen some, but always isolated, never filling the horizon), the fishing villages without promenades and no fillers, etc.. In the dunes, Newquay beaches of this town are full of surfers, there were signs indicating the importance of maintaining this ecosystem and a fine of 20,000 you could drop by no respect. Those who walk by carreixos are always well marked. Ah, did not see trash anywhere. All in a mirror that watch us.
One of the images of the Cornish landscape forms the old chimneys 60 s fashion of the old mines. Cornwall was a mining country and its physical evidence still present in the landscape. A number of authors here who put the historic islands Casitéridas of classical antiquity, and there are those who think that this country flag, a white cross on a black background, representing the white veins of tin on the black rock. But in Cornwall mining ceased to be important because in the nineteenth century to get the cheapest mineral that Asia. So many córnicos had to take the path of migration and surname of Cornish origin we can find them in many mining areas of the world: from Linares (Jaén) to Mexico, through the United Kingdom, Australia or South Africa.
Some of these old mines were reconverted to new uses. Some are simply recreational centers where one can spend a quiet day with the family, as in the Lapp Valley can be reached in the small train used to transport the ore. Other museums are reminiscent 60 s fashion of the hard work of extracting the ore and the process of transformation of it. Travelers Costa da Morte visit to King Edward Mine Museum. We chose this because mine is located in an area, Camborne, historically linked to mining. In fact this mine to be abandoned at the end of the nineteenth century went to work as a school of mines and Camborne, a village which appears due to the many mines that were in the area, there is still a school of mines. From here also was that Richard Trevithick invented a pump and bailing designed the first steam locomotive.
Visitors liked the spirit and the willingness to volunteer guides 60 s fashion explained the various facets of the process of extraction and processing of ore, and liked the receipt given to us. One of the guides, who carried the flag in his case cornice work, entregounos a sheet in which he spoke of Cornish identity of the nation, knowing that comes from a nation without a state like yours. Another result of the visit was to see the interest in industrial heritage and the defense of this as a commitment to a better future and to increase proud to be Cornish or Cornish. Some think that such experiences have no place in our country, now we see how various items related to our limited industrial heritage are disappearing. Think for
