Gredos literature

(Luis Garcinuño González)

Trasierra II era No. 6, 2007

Poets, novelists, playwrights, essayists ... and many other authors related to the world of literature have been de Gredos and environment-writing center of their cough. Everyone thinks this place as a warm and lush paradise, describes with joy unspeakable. Américo Castro commented on the wonder that students produced in the arrival and visit these places of the English geography. In Gredos everything is great, all is glory, blue, wind, snow, admire-tion, apotheosis ... Gorges silvery mirror-like waters dazzle us from the bottom.

So he sang

Ramón de Garciasol in Songs,:

EVENING FROM

GREDOS

"And we have quiet. Something is moving

with slow majesty. summits have

a fruit of past fires glow.

Comes the ox of the night, meek. Injures

transit are profoundly solemn

Gorges water sprinklers.

to be present. Bleeding from the loins

diluted mineral drowning,

until a cricket sounds, and sound

Gredos night of silence flows. "

Gregorio Marañón frequently in his writings recreates and recreates when describing the Sierra de Gredos:

"Gredos is extraordinary, is the sum of all things healthy and admirable that the LED close RRA mountain climate, in all its aspects and at all altitudes. Nowhere in the world come under a sky so beautifully blue, the sun so constant and beauti-ful, the sweetness of the temperate valleys of Arenas de San Pedro, the weather still mild, but more toned and strong ... and finally, all the gradation levels, with all the gradations of floras, terminating in the regions of perpetual snow tufted ... "

On tour routes and Gredos, Ortega y Gasset said " who would commit a mistake to think that what is valuable in climbing the mountain top and not the climb."

This tour can meet and walk the trails, ponds and more re-filed hatches of the central massif of the Sierra de Gredos, admire the impressive peaks and ridges donors so famous for our Sierra and get into the culture of the inhabitants of this beautiful and diverse region. Since we Morezón tene what is probably the best view of the Circo de Gredos, with the lagoon inside. From Refugio del Rey ruinág see Castilla La Mancha and Extremadura Ex. The peak that catches our attention more to the east is The Look. It is relaxing to sit by the fountain in the Refugio del Rey and drink your water pure and clear. Blas de Otero, poet of the protest and testimony shudder to contemplate the lake and the towering rocks that surround the great circus Creeds and exclaimed:

"Tears

stone, burning

in the face of heaven

.

The great novelist and Nobel Prize for Literature, Camilo José Cela, very handsomely treated people and the lands of the Sierra de Gredos, which glosses fascinating works of great literary value. Many of his writings he refers to these lands as a whole and their favorite places, such as when portraying continue Candeleda and their wives:

"The Tramp, in Candeleda, gave him food and drink. Candeleda has everything, like Noah's Ark of the three kingdoms of nature, namely the animal, vegetable and mineral. At two days and nights of jogging and looking Candeleda-ay, Catalina! to Candeledana, which are the most beautiful girls around the confines of the kingdom ... "

In Jews, Moors and Christians: "The Tiétar is the South River of Avila, what some call - the tramp does not know why - the Andalusian Ávila, with more property had been christened with the name Avila Valencia and more even, with that of Avila Extremadura, which is what it is.

Tiétar The river rises in the port of the Sale of Cojo, in beetles, and for most of his career, and even that is lost through the plains of Cáceres, separates - administratively and against all laws of nature - Avileses land of Toledo and Toledo land of Caceres. The tramp is understood that the River Valley Ramacastañas Tiétar part, the homeless often more friendly natural regions of the provinces artificial. "

Eduardo Tejeda, teacher and center of this tribute, has an extensive work. It often speaks of this land. In Oral Tradition Literature Avila (IGDA, 1994), has beautiful pages concerning Gredos and its environment.

In the introduction to this magnificent and well documented book, he himself, in a gesture typical of his humility, said that perhaps with excessive boldness has been proposed to treat a broad view on the texts of oral tradition of Avila and province. I, who lived very closely the investigation and prosecution of this work, only in the context of the tradition of Avila, I know that humility, but also its unquestionable merit. In one of its sections, can not but go to a "common place" his numerous publications: Arenas, Tiétar GREDOS ... and 149 pages of this work draws us with a masterly hand is "the area" so dear to him as experiential, referring to authors who made his poetry a beautiful song to Gredos:

"Whoever is in peace with God

and wants to get into war,

go to the mountains of Gredos

and take little snack. " (Vergara, 1923)

"If you want to know what is good

and pass the black sorrow,

go to wild to Gredos

and bears little snack. "

" The woman I ronde

ronde me not anyone

I am from Sierra de Gredos

and I love "pa" married. "

(Copla of Priedalaves. P. Anta)

Piedralaves

is also the Pastoral Copla, heir to the classical text known co: Lady and Pastor:

"Pastor of Sierra de Gredos

you sleep in the broom

if you marry me

good bed to sleep on. "

A great poet, writer and columnist, the Ridruejo Dionisio Soriano, with exceptional quality, evokes the Sierra de Gredos and stops in to sing in its:

SONNETS TO THE STONE

"Green, yellow, gray, white in height,

the vast highlands to the light rests

like a wave still

bravest in its foam.

I stop in the valley. With roots

between the grass I have the soul.

Go to my feet, a water, a start

while stringing my guts.

grow flowers. Sleep for a moment.

Trees are the sky and covers me

tierrrra the death and goes with the breeze

monitor the plant height.

will awaken. Wake. Outside

of up the mountain pine

green, yellow, gray, white at the summit,

forever exalted and gentle. "

D. Ridruejo often retreats to the Sierra de Gredos to MEDIF in solitude on his idea of \u200b\u200bSpain. In July 1942, writes a series of poems titled Serranías , notes that evokes Spain that is concerned:

"Urbión there and, closer,

Malagón, Guadarrama,

Sierras de Béjar y Star, sunk

to the land that breaks my heart,

and here Gredos; accounts the spine

forces ", pain? - Spain,

pouring, wealthy - Tajo, Duero -

for the elusive sea, the cool waters."

In a series of short poems entitled Gredos Sierra de Gredos or , the poet meditates and breathes the grandeur of the landscape and geography and impose steep component, while in contrast his present enjoyment of solitude with the grave decision just to take their craft burning political adventure in defense of a more authentic Spain:

"Ports and ports, valleys and hills,

summits and peaks, rugged movement

to be found in simple human

unveils or untamed wilderness.

And finally, lowland pine forests, high peaks,

and the eagle in the heavens.

Already solitude in all the soul

ships and back - rock to rock - fire. "

Spain

The same spirit and thirst for eternity that we saw in the stone's Sonnets which is revealed in the steep Gredos peaks, as shown in this poem:

" Little by little - oh sublimated solid-

thing you'll make heaven

vague body of clouds. your violent ground faith in heat

of eternity, welcomes

to nothing ineffable calm.

certainty I see you straight away,

teeth, hooves, pyramids, and lose

I also myself together before the night

alone, and, so solitude, uncertain.

Until the stars

there, the bottom of the dark dream,

awaken again our loved

shadow slim firm and honor. "

Sonnets to stone closed with a beautiful composition, in which the poet, reveal-ing the riddle, he abandons the symbolic language that was maintained throughout the book, to define what this "Spain's Stone" seen in its impressive gold-graphy (the Pyrenees to Tejada, Gredos, Guadarrama) and on the shores of Atlantic. It's majesty, spirit warrior, castle, height, crest and serenity. And at the same time, energy, movement, agony, longing, nudity, freedom and immortality. It is a wonderful combination of strength, stability, strength and dynamism, spirit of adventure. This is the impression with his theory that synthesizes all over Spain:

"Any castle or cresting, flight

heavy, hardened movement,

serenity - oh Gredos, Guadarrama -

nascent and agony. All longing,

all without mastering and without clothing,

all free, immortal. As you love. "

And we focus on the great poet of the area, Don Miguel de Unamuno. For land in Portugal and Spain says," Each tour Gredos-stone of Castilla-spine is a small lesson in geology. The Central System is the backbone that divides the Meseta into two. Gredos is the highest part of this system that reaches into the Peak Almanzor its maximum altitude, 2,592 m. "

Miguel himself considers himself the" greatest poet of Gredos "that He discovered and appropriate for soliloquies and lyrical outbursts. Gredos is the key to its refined lines and dense, like Luis Felipe Vivanco said, "and nothing so little musical modernist."

Gredos is a fount, its source inspiration for a poem naked hermetically policy, with an intense metaphysical and spiritual message. Fervent bull's skin, like wind and marginalized unpublished routes: "Spain has been many times, is to know for the English ... While the memory remains vivid in my wanderings through the foothills of Gredos ... It is a charming, out Béjar, first spotted Becedas tower, informing the Tormes, the river itself to the side of which live and see when fresh and newly born murmuring waters of the rocks and crosses under the first hanging Caudina, the bridge of Barco de Avila, guarded by the ruins of a castle ... And then it appears you Piedrahita ... and beyond twisting road up to Pico porti ment, through the Barranco Valley paradise and go to rest in Arenas de Sa Pedro, at the foot of the Gredos feet ...

Later in the same book says: "Pillars of my land, columns that you hold the sky, who never hugged you, how you will feel the homeland." In Sonnets and lyrical visions Andanzas English, Unamuno continues singing, excited, a Gre-DOS. In Fuerteventura to Paris, 1925, feel the obsession with "the call of God of Spain who has his throne in Gredos." :

"No, not that Gredos mountain range

confines are clouds, clouds of step ...

Gredos, in the robust spring

of my life my soul filled the glass

with visions of glory, now

review

with the sea that sings flattering.

The silence of the ignoble rock

full cordial gesture of courage!

The silence of the huge mouth

of heaven, who put his finger seal

of Mansur! In your nail hits over

and breaks saw imitation! "

the story is very striking that, while in Paris with Blasco Ibáñez, saying," I it, contemplating the Champs Elysees : "Have you seen, D. Miguel, a sight more beautiful? ". He replied:" Yes , Gredos .

Avila Saw de Gredos is the main source which feeds the co-currents del Duero on its left bank. Its high peaks, snow almost constant, separate the basins of the Duero and Tajo born there where two major tributaries, the Tormes and Tietar, as recalled by Don Miguel de Unamuno in a composition of Songbook:

"Tiétar Tormes, Tajo, Duero,

twins of Castile;

Gredos mother both arms

spreads and caresses

on bone, brown meat ,

blood and sweat to harass. "

As a recurring theme to show these feelings again towards the end of his life, in a short poem titled Water Tormes, which reveals just how deep-seated are images Salamanca in the heart of the poet:

"Agua del Tormes,

snow

Gredos,

out of my land,

sun in my sky,

Armuña mushy bread, dark,

plain goat milk plain,

pink soles made eternal

oak shadow mirrors the Port ... "

Another view of the river gives Unamuno Salamanca in its composition: The Tormes:

"From Gredos, back from Castile,

rolling, Tormes, on the meadow,

raisins Teresa Heath's dream

Alba with the ducal villa sleeping.

keep on enjoying the Arrow on the shore,

Padre Duero,

save them from the flood.!

A poor

that your faith Slumber

lived

and that bag has come

for their homes and fishing in your pools the pots,

the mattresses of the beds!

Padre Duero,

save them from the flood! "

Lusitania to the sea, arrives with his word made Duero poem to follow in the footsteps of Tormes loved to his embrace with Duero and through this lead the poet to his meeting with the brotherly people:

"Gredos Gredos, Mansur, the Tormes

Piedrahíta del Duque,

Barco de Avila,

Torreon de Alba,

golden Salamanca.

Soledad de Ledesma,

Fermoselle frowning

my Duero resulted

singing in the bowels of Portugal and Spain. "

Some

final considerations

Gredos is considered one of the most valuable of Cen-tral System. Located south of Castilla-León, is presented as a succession of cliffs, gorges, lakes and circuses. Gredos comprises more than 140 km. Most of the Sierra is located in the province of Ávila but also extends to Salamanca and Caceres. The landscape is shaped by the various ice ages and its rich fauna and flora is of incalculable value to exist again and several endemic species, as described above. Along with all this natural wealth, orographic, history, literature, exists in the environment other no less rich and fascinating, as is the cultural and monumental: the Roman road from Puerto del Pico and peoples Candeleda, Arenas, Mom-Beltrán, El Barco de Avila, to name a few, are good examples. Hikers can not miss the Circo de Gredos, through an impressive journey that begins in Hoyos del Espino up to the Prado de las Pozas. At an altitude over 2,000 m to reach the top of the Barrerones, leading to the Royal Trail near the glacier lagoon can be enjoyed in all its beauty of Mansur.

The Sierra de Gredos, for his extraordinary wealth, is included within the Natural Areas Network of Castilla y León. We could describe the Gredos Regional Park as a virgin landscape, silent and magical. From its wild cum-men descend in noisy waterfalls Ricuevas crystal waters, form-ing big pond stone scree, where sand and the cool spring penetrating wrap you in light and sound.

conclude with the words of Miguel Angel Troitiño Vinuesa, an expert and researcher in this area, " The Sierra de Gredos is a mountain strong-mind humanized Mediterranean, where the interplay between the natural and the social is one of its singularities, an aspect that should not be forgotten in the management of the Regional Park or the implementation of socio-economic outreach programs. The overlap between nature, society and culture shape diverse landscapes, still need to clarify and integrate the new features of the territory to try to overcome an old conflict between protection and promotion. The social interpretation of the environment, understood as a territory, is a way of working that can help overcome the limitations of simplistic naturalistic views and allow the Regional Park, from a policy of active protection is an instrument to advance through the road to sustainable development.
