Pablo in Barhal - Pablo Martín Asuero

I was born in San Sebastián, Spain. In 1991 got a scholarship awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires and spent three years in Istambul. The porpous of this travelblog is to pay a tribute to the people of Barhal, a place that I discovered in fall 1991. During the last five years I have been going to Barhal at the end of the Ramadan, here are the pictures.

San Sebastián'da, Ispanyada dogdum, Istanbul'a 1991 yýlýnda geldim. O tarihte Ispanyol Di
Isleri Bakanliðindan bir burs kazandim. Ilk kez sonbahar 1991 de Barhala geldim ve sonra, yavas yavas barhallý oldum. Bu web sayfasinda butün barhallýlara tesekkurkler etmek istiyorum ve çektigim resimlerimi paylasmak istiyorum. Son 5 senedir Seker Bayraminda köye gittim ve resimleri o zaman çektim.

Maloula

Middle East » Syria » South » Maalula

Wherever you go through Maloula you could hear a fable that tells a parable allegory composed by the creative imagination of the man. It was conveyed to us by generations, till it reached us in this splendour shape, and the remaining ruins are good proof of this area-mans will, and his ability to defy the time. The best example for this is the spoken language among the people of Maloula. You will be amazed for these utterances, and the language that is still used in common without any knowledge of rules of writing, or its alphabet. Its is amazing when you [View Full Entry]

Altiparmak

The Pontic Mountains (Turkish Doğu Karadeniz Dağları) are a range of mountains in northern Turkey, whose eastern end extends into southeastern Georgia.
