Wonders of Bruges/ Maravillas de Brujas

in Pinmapple3 years ago

It is really a pleasure for me to come once again to this community to tell you about my travels.
I enjoy every memory and I give the possibility of knowing more to those who want to know more about some of the places I have visited.
I also want you to know that having the map with the links is a luxury. recently I was telling my granddaughter some travel experiences and together we reviewed the stories through the @pinmapple map.

Es realmente un placer para mi acercarme una vez más a esta comunidad para contarles mis viajes.
Vuelvo a disfrutar cada recuerdo y doy la posibilidad de saber más a quienes quieren conocer algún lugar de los que he visitado.
También quiero que sepan que tener el mapa con los enlaces es un lujo. hace poco le contaba a mi nieta algunas experiencias de viaje y juntas repasamos las historias a través del mapa de @pinmapple.

In 2012 I had the joy of going to Belgium, my son was working there and it was an opportunity to get to know Brussels and its surroundings. Today I will tell you about Bruges is a dream place. It is located in the northwest of Belgium and is mainly distinguished by its canals.
Its streets have cobblestones and medieval buildings impose themselves all around the city.

En el año 2012 tuve la dicha de ir a Bélgica, mi hijo estaba trabajando allí y era una oportunidad para conocer Bruselas y sus alrededores. Hoy les contaré sobre Brujas es un lugar de ensueño. Está situada al noroeste de Bélgica y principalmente se distingue por sus canales.
Sus calles tienen adoquines y los edificios medievales se imponen en todo el entorno de la ciudad.

Its name comes from the West Germanic "Bryggia" ("bridges", "piers", "docks"). It is interesting to note that, in Dutch, "brug" means "bridge", and that this city has as its name the plural of this word, due to the large number of bridges that exist in it.

Su nombre proviene del germánico occidental "Bryggia" ("puentes", "muelles", "atracaderos"). Es interesante destacar que, en el neerlandés, «brug» significa «puente», y que esta ciudad ostenta como nombre el plural de esta palabra, debido a la gran cantidad de puentes que en ella existen.

The main attraction of Bruges is its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. Although it has been largely rebuilt, this urban center is one of the greatest European attractions, since it maintains the structures intact. Like Amsterdam, Gothenburg and Hamburg, among others, Bruges is known as "the Venice of the North", due to the large number of canals that cross the city and their beauty.
This is the tower of the bell tower of witches. A medieval building 83 meters high, as a curiosity I can tell that the carillon has 47 bells.

El mayor atractivo de Brujas es su casco histórico, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 2000. Aunque en gran parte ha sido reconstruido, dicho centro urbano es uno de los más grandes atractivos europeos, ya que mantiene intactas las estructuras. Al igual que Ámsterdam, Gotemburgo y Hamburgo, entre otras, Brujas es conocida como «la Venecia del norte», debido a la gran cantidad de canales que atraviesan la ciudad y a la belleza de los mismos.
Esta es la torre del campanario de brujas. Una edificación medieval de 83 mts. de altura, como curiosidad puedo contar que el carrillón tiene 47 campanas.

This is what the buildings in Bruges look like

They look like fairytale houses on the banks of the river. Centuries have passed and they still keep their stories behind their stone walls.

Parecen casas de cuento al margen del rio. Han pasado siglos y se mantienen guardando historias tras sus paredes de piedra.

Around the Bruges Town Hall the people and visitors gather. On this occasion there was a concert in the square.

Alrededor del Ayuntamiento de Brujas se reúne el pueblo y los visitantes. En esta ocasión había un concierto en la plaza.

The canals of Bruges wind through the city. Created as tributaries of the Zwyn River to support the economy in the Middle Ages, the canals of Bruges had to be adapted and enlarged to allow large commercial ships to pass through and thus supply the city.

Los canales de Brujas serpentean por toda la ciudad. Fueron creados como afluentes del río Zwyn para favorecer la economía en la Edad Media, los canales de Brujas tuvieron que ser adaptados y ampliados para permitir que grandes buques comerciales pudiesen pasar y así poder abastecer a la ciudad.

Today the canals are the main tourist attraction of this town.

Hoy en día los canales son la principal atracción turística de esta localidad.

Here I am, being part of this fairy tale or witches' tale.

Another curiosity that caught our attention was passing in front of this bicycle parking lot. This is the main means of transportation in the area and does not interfere in the streets as in other places crowded with these vehicles.

Otra curiosidad que nos llamó la atención fue pasar frente a este estacionamiento de bicicletas. El principal medio de desplazamiento de la zona y de ese modo no interfiere el paso en las calles como en otros lugares abarrotados de estos vehículos.

As in other tourist places, there is never a lack of old horse-drawn carriages.

Como en otros lugares turísticos nunca falta el coche antiguo de caballos.

On these canal-side terraces, people gather for lunch and snacks.

En estas terrazas a orillas del canal la gente se reúne a comer y a tomar aperitivos

One of the typical dishes of the area are these pots of mussels prepared in different varieties. We enjoyed them with beer to honor Belgium.

Uno de los platos típicos de la zona son estas ollas de mejillones preparados en distintas variedades. Estos los disfrutamos a la cerveza para hacer honor a Bélgica.

First, these pictures are just lovely! I love to travel and I see these beautiful pictures, I start daydreaming, wishing I'm there. 😄

Bruges is a lovely place with the medieval buildings. I can understand why the canal is a tourist attraction center. I'd want to see the canal if I went there too. Hope you had a good time there. 🍀

that's an interesting looking town 😃 thank you for sharing!
