I found a sort of Stonehenge in Ibiza, not sure if this is well known... 🧐
This land art was commissioned by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté (Canadian) and created by Australian artist Andrew Rogers. Official name of this giant monument is “Time and space the speed of light”. The constraction started on Jan 17 2014 and completed on Jan 23 2014 - it took only 6 days 😂
There are 13 basalt columns which, according to the artist’s website, is forming a Fibonacci sequence (which I googled😳!). Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233... (in total 13 in this case).
The center column is tallest among all and it is 10 meters and 19.5 tons! Its top part has 23-carat gold💎(I guess just pained with gold) According to the artist, this golden part is “to reflect the message with the setting sun on the day of the Winter Solstice”. Oh, and these basalt stones came all the way from Turkey, 4400 km from Ibiza... mmm 🤔 When I visited this place, I was imagining an ancient tribu in Ibiza building it with super basic tools for some purpose. I had no idea that in fact this is a modern art 😂
By the way, the artist created another similar land art in Cappadocia, 🇹🇷. Maybe that’s the reason of where these stones came from? #nofilter #stonehenge #andrewrogers #ibiza #イビサ #landart #art

Festival Club Ibiza opened in 1972 as complex building which includes dancing halls, restaurant, etc. It was unfortunatelly forced to closed just 2 years later in 1974 with debts. Just 2 years 🙁
Since then it’s abandoned and became canvas of graffiti artists 🎨 #nofilter #graffiti #abandonedplaces #ibiza #イビサ

This is my favorite church ever ❤️ So cosy with beautiful decolations which look like hand drawing & painting.
This time I’ve visited couple of different churches ⛪️ in Ibiza - which is of course not what most of the people visiting Ibiza would do ahaha 😂- and for me this church is the 🔝among all.
In general, the church in Ibiza has simple architectural structure, white minimalist color, and 3 black crosses attached outside.
Why it’s black and 3? Does anybody know the answer? 🧐🧐🧐 #nofilter #ibiza

Attraction shouldn’t be limited to historical important monument or touristic place! This is just a broken and abandoned house along a street but it attracted me ❤️ I wanted to visit Bocairent town - I heard it’s beautiful and it looks so according to Insta pics - but time didn’t allow me so this is the nearest place from the town I could visit 😌
Place like this makes me feel “mono no aware” (物の哀れ)- cannot translate it so please google/wiki it 😜 I must say this feeling is so Japanese which is reflected in our culture/design ☺️ #nofilter

Tabernas desert in Almería (+/- 280 km2) is the only official desert in both Spain and Europe 🌵
Many Western filmes have been filmed here as well, such as Lawrence of Arabia. There is also a relatively minor film festival “Almeria Western Film Festival” since 2017 🎞 🎥
I’m pretty curious about the Draemon sort of character at MiniHollywood 🙄 #nofilter

Mojácar is a “typical” Andalusian picturesqu

Mojácar is a “typical” Andalusian picturesque town rich in Mudéjar architecture. Casa de la Canana museum in this town ran by a friendly Russian madam teaches you how local people lived centuries ago. The visit to the museum is highly recommended! 3.5 euro entrance fee is worth it with guided tour by the owner herself! She took the village house, renovated it and collected scattered information and items about this town to create the ethnological museum 3 years ago! It’s an amazing work and we are lucky to have this motivated lady in this town 😊

The white color of the Mojácar houses is something recent for touristic purpose that originally the town was totally brown color like those of Morocco as a picture shows. The big ceramics pots are to bring water from the fountain below the town till up to the rocky hill where the houses are. And of course, to keep the water cold. You put the pot on top of your head and climb the steep slope. I just couldn’t even hold a pot without water for long time, so heavy! And on the top of it, it was a task for women - please see the pics - no way! 😤 As you can imagine, since the water supply was so difficult, you couldn’t wash your body often and enough! 😫
I’m so happy that today we have abundant and clean water at home and no need to rely on these heavy pots 😌 If we don’t compare our life with those in the past, perhaps we don’t appreciate how well we live today. Our life condition has become better and hopefully will become even better.
Morrocan food at this town was so delicious as well and I started to feel like visiting Morocco again 🤤😍😁 #nofilter #Almeria #Andalucia #Mojacar

Lorca is located interior of Murcia Community and

Lorca is located interior of Murcia Community and in fact it’s 2nd largest municipality in Spain for its surface after Cáceres. I know Lorca since 2011 right after the earthquake in Japan that year when I came to Spain and that’s also when the earthquake in Lorca happened. I clearly remember that I thought... “Did I bring the earthquake with me? 😰”
Due to Covid-19 situation, all the touristic places in Lorca were closed but at least I enjoyed my stay at the Parador of Lorca (Parador are state-owned hoteles in Spain and there are 90 in total) for the first time with only 60 euros per night for 2 persons. Not sure if the price is normally like this but if it’s so I think it’s worth it with nice view of the Lorca city and modern interior of the hotel.
The hotel has pool and also the price includes the visit to Lorca Castle next to it - I didn’t try neither of them but could be worth it as well 🙂 #nofilter #lorca #murcia #paradores #parador

Batería de Castillitos is located near Cartagena

Batería de Castillitos is located near Cartagena city and was constructed between 1933 and 1936. It served as military fort till 1996 to protect Cartagena Bay area and since then it’s been abandoned till 2009 when the Spanish Ministry of the Environment put some investment on the building restoration. There are two huge British cannons which could target max. 37 km away back then. It’s open space and the entrance is for free.
An ideal place to enjoy beautiful sunset.
For me the place still looks a bit too much abandoned. Inside the building is full of low quality “graffiti” - which is a shame. Also, the place is not at all kids friendly. You can fall easily from anywhere without any minimum protection. So if you go with kids don’t leave kids running there, extremely dangerous. #nofilter

Today Rodaquilar has some historical ruins which back in 40s to 60s were the economic booster of this region, Níjar-Cabo de Gata.
In 1931 a company with British capital, Minas de Rodaquilar S.A., mined gold for the first time in Rodalquilar. Their activity lasted till the Civil War began in 1936. Then in 1940, a Spanish state-owned enterprise, ADARO, took over these facilities and started to mine gold here till 1966.
When I see destroyed Medieval castles or Roman ruins, it’s not easy to have nostalgic feeling but when I see abandoned and broken buldings like these from last century, I just cannot stop imagining the life of those miners. The buildings appear here were the property of Minas de Rodaquilar S.A. and today totally abandoned and can be visited. My personal recommendation is to access the place from Rodaquilar town even if Google Maps suggest you another way - which I followed and it was very long rough mountainous road by car - if you are adventurous person, enjoy the rough road but if you are city girl/boy, probably better to access it from the town which is only 2 mins ride 🙂 #nofilter

ODISEO - designed by Clavel Arquitectos
They opened this building Feb 2020 right before the confinement in Spain therefore everything stays still super new and I saw only a few visiters. The concrete block in the 1st and 3rd pic is a pool! It’s actially 42 meter long which is longest cantilevered pool in Europe. “Cantilevered” means that the material is fixed at only one end - yes, I googled it 😂 I wanted to see the pool but the receptionist told me that floor is only open to the private rental so I couldn’t see how it looks from upper angle 😒
It looked like hipster went to extravagant and theatrical and in other word “baroque” design like Cathedral Church of Saint Mary (of Murcia) to me.
The food quality was unexpectedly very good 😄
This complex has discotheque, casino and restaurant/bar - disco is closed as you can imagine due to the Covid situation - yea so bad timing.
