May 11, 2020

| Entrepreneurship

We can’t take trips these days for obvious reasons. But Netflix is offering a trip into the mind with a gentle new documentary about the world of hallucinogens. Donick Cary’s “Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics” uses celebrities recounting their trips on LSD or mushroom to counteract built-up fears about psychotropic drugs — even offering tips about how to use them better — all against the backdrop of trippy ’60s-style cartoons with rainbows and unwinding tongues. This is…

May 11, 2020

In 1777 Friar Giuseppe Andrea Rodio, a local hermit, decided to excavate a tunnel and construct 144 steps through the rocky cliffside to access a grotto known as the Virgin “Ad Rupes.” Inside the cave is a painting of the Virgin Mary with a rare depiction of baby Jesus lying asleep on her knees.

Alcázar de Segovia in Segovia, Spain

May 11, 2020

Since the Roman times, the craggy cliff overlooking the city of Segovia has been used for the foundation of a fortification, its location suitable for military defense. The Berber Almoravids built a wooden fortress there during the early Middle Ages, first documented in 1122, shortly after King Alfonso VI of Léon and Castile reconquered Segovia. Today, these early structures have all but disappeared, and the cliff is topped with a towering castle. With the city reclaimed by the Christians, the……
