Castello di Cardona è probabilmente il fortress medioevale più importante nella provincia di La Catalogna. È situato su una collina che trascura il River Valley del Cardener e la città di Cardona. Il fortress inizialmente è stato costruito vicino Wilfred il peloso in 886. È in entrambi Romanesque e Gotico gli stili ed include il cosiddetto Sala Dorada e Dels Entresols del Sala. Durante quattordicesimo secolo, i duchi di Cardona sono venuto dalla famiglia più importante del Parte superiore di Aragon, che era in secondo luogo soltanto alla casa reale. A causa di questo, sono stati chiamati "re senza parti superiori„ poichè hanno avuti vasti territori in Catalogna, Aragone Valenciae legami dynastic con Castile, Il Portogallo, La Siciliae Napoli. Ciò presumibilmente ha aumentato l'importanza del forte. In 1714, anche dopo la a Bourbon il siege ha distrutto una buona parte delle pareti del fort, il garrison era uno dell'ultimo da cedere alle truppe del bourbon che hanno sostenuto Philip V. Poichè i bourbon ed i loro eredi continuerebbero a sopprimere l'identità nazionale di Catalonian, il forte è diventato significativo a nazionalismo di Catalonian. Oggi, il gioiello principale del fort è torre de la minyona (dal undicesimo secolo) una torretta che misura 15 tester di l'altezza e 10 tester di diametro. Ulteriormente, ci è la chiesa del romanesque di Sant Vicenç de Cardona adiacente al forte. Il forte attualmente è usato come a parador, o hotel di lusso gestito dallo stato.

In a surprising turn of events, I found myself in a racing competition with a bird, and as it turns out, this bird is faster than me. As I was out sailing on my sailboat, enjoying the sailing life and the beautiful views of Strangford Lough, I stumbled upon this speedy bird. The experience was exhilarating, and it reminded me of the thrill of sailboat racing and yacht racing that I've experienced in events like the Narrows Regatta. The sailing lifestyle is full of unexpected moments like these, and it's what makes sailing so much fun. Whether I'm sailing on a sigma yacht or a sailboat, I always feel alive and connected to nature. The sailing community is also very supportive, and I've met many like-minded people at the Strangford Lough Yachting Club who share my passion for sailing and yacht life. If you're interested in sailing and want to learn more about the sailing lifestyle, be sure to watch my other sailing videos for tips and stories from my adventures on the water. From close crosses to sailing away into the distance, every moment on the water is a thrill. So come along and join me on this journey as I explore the world of sailing and all its wonders, from the beauty of Strangford Lough to the excitement of sailboat racing and the joy of yacht life.

Sailed from St, Thomas to Frederiksted... Small town on the west coast protected from the prevailing eastern winds, with Danish Colonial and Victorian architecture. We visited Fort Frederik built in 1752 by Danish monarch (occupied also by Spanish and French) and enjoyed beautiful white sandy beaches. Scuba diving with turtles in turquoise waters was fantastic...
