Espana

  La alcazaba de Badajoz se encuentra en la ciudad del mismo nombre, sobre la cima del cerro de la Muela.
  El origen de la Alcazaba se encuentra en la fortificación de argamasa de barro y ladrillo que levantó Ibn Marwan, en el siglo IX. Almanzor I de Badajoz la convirtió en una muralla de piedra y cal. Cerca de 1170, fue  reparada y ampliada por orden del califa Abu Yaqub Yusuf,  presentando prácticamente el aspecto que presenta actualmente.

La Alcazaba de Badajoz es el mayor monumento árabe de su especie en España. Construida casi por completo en tapial (técnica que consiste en construir muros con tierra compactada a golpes dentro de un molde de madera) tiene una superficie de cerca de ocho hectáreas. Presenta forma ovalada, reforzada por una barbacana avanzada y numerosas torres y baluartes.
 En su interior se conservan restos de la primitiva catedral cristiana del siglo XIII, palacios renacentistas, iglesias y ermitas.

Cache: Recipiente de plástico. Dentro encontrareis el libro de registro y pequeños tesoros.

ENG

  The fortress of Badajoz is located in the city of the same name on the top of the Muela’s hill.
  The origin of the Alcazaba is the fortification constructed with brick and mortar of clay which lifted Ibn Marwan, in the ninth century. Almanzor I of Badajoz turned into a wall of stone and lime. Around 1170, it was repaired and expanded by order of the Caliph Abu Yusuf Yaqub.

  The Fortress of Badajoz is the largest Arabic monument of its kind in Spain. Built almost entirely on “tapial” (soil compressed) it enclosed an eight hectare area. It has an oval layout and is reinforced with many towers and bastions.
  Inside are the Remains of the primitive Christian cathedral of the thirteenth century, renaissance palaces, churches and shrines.

 Cache: "Tuperware" box. Includes a logbook and some treasures.

Nova ida a Badajoz... Novas cachadas pelo caminho! Desta vez a permanencia por terras de nuestros hermanos implicava uma estadia de 2 dias com prováveis minutos de ócio pelo meio. Nada como levar algumas cachezitas meio estudadas, não fosse o tempo livre ser muito e dar para brincar um bocadito aos tesourinhos. E assim foi!

Chegados a Badajoz e depois de engolido um hamburger para matar a fomeca, lá fomos tratar da sobremesa - um passeio por esta lindissima Alcazaba, com uma cachadazita á mistura. O ideal para matar o tempo até irmos ao nosso compromisso. A fortaleza é espectacular, com recantos impecáveis para passear e namorar, o que aproveitamos para fazer. A vista é fantástica, dando para ver ao mesmo tempo as inumeras pontes de badajoz.

A cache apareeu rapidamente, até porque á hora da siesta , não havia por ali ninguém. Eu também devia de fazer o mesmo...ahhhhhh!
