The extensive literature on the character makes it one of the most famous paintings of Spanish painting, and certainly the preferred Cayetana de Alba, who has said in numerous interviews his fondness for this woman of strong character, loving the world of bohemian and art of one who, according to reports at the time and the interpretations of researchers and scholars, Goya was smitten.

The Metro is farther from the Downtown
The Metro is farther from the Downtown
The Board makes clear that line 2, the only land crossing under the historic district, will be the last to be built because surveys of passenger demand less return you predict that the 3, 4 and 1.
The section of Metro Line 2 of which cross the center underground through the streets of the Incarnation and the Duke will be the last to be built in Seville, judging by recent statements to the press this week by the managing director of Railways Andaluces, José Luis Nores, in the snacks group La Raza. This line was not so urgent when the tram was coming to the Incarnation and Puerta Osario, but it is now that the City Council has failed in this project and there is no public transportation to the bus.
With three months to finish writing the final drafts of construction of the three remaining lines (2, 3 and 4), Railways reiterated that the priority is passenger demand and which, at that point, line 3 (Pino Montano -Bermejales/Bellavista) far exceeds the 2 because the polls say they would have less passenger demand and lack of connection to Line 1, which would make it less profitable.
Railways added two other "technical factors" that complicate the construction of Line 2: the problems of groundwater and archaeological remains. In sum, it would have to spend more money on construction because, Nores, the cost of an underground line is "between five and eight times more expensive" than a surface, depending on the depth is reached.
With regard to passengers, Railways now presents recent technical studies that show that the stops of the Incarnation and the Duke would be the only passenger demand more in line 2, but in insufficient numbers to make it profitable in its entirety: Seville East-Torreblanca to the monastery.
The Board has not yet submitted figures to substantiate this claim, but the hypothesis is hard to believe. The line was planned with stops in Seville's most populous district requesting transportation for decades with the center at the train station of Santa Justa and the bus to Plaza de Armas, and the future location of offices and recreational areas will Puerta Triana La Cartuja, which are not exactly depopulated areas. It therefore appears that the policy reasons outweigh the techniques when Railways states that "in line 2 will be done" because they aproved the Andalusian government, but added that "few people live downtown and that not known if the residents of Sevilla take the Metro to go downtown. Of offices and shops or talking.
"The water problem" underground from the Bell to the Alameda, near the zone of influence of the stop of the Duke, is quoted in second place. On this point, however, experts consulted by this newspaper make clear that the water that is under the center is the same as the water table that, as in all of Seville, appears very shallow (at the level of the river), the more in lowland areas, such as the Alameda, but ruled out that extra streams or channels. Today there are techniques to deal with all types of soils. The key is how much you want to spend and how soon.
Third, the manager of Railways spoke of the archaeological remains evident that there would be overcome to build the Incarnation and Duke stations, construction is inevitable but executed with TBM tunnels.
The theme of the historical remains of line 2 has already been cited in 2005 by the then responsible for Andalusian Railways, Teófilo Serrano (now president of Renfe), at a conference sponsored by the College of Architecture at the University of Seville, where he referred to which should be superimposed on different building tunnels deep beneath the historic buildings and narrow streets of downtown, and the long terms would be required. "What worries me in line 2 are the deadlines. It would be a piece of work," Serrano said an audience member before concluding that "they should be approved because the Board and planners have said they can do, but we must study well. "
Teófilo Serrano's conference shows that the arguments of 2005 of the remains and the difficulties of work in line 2 is now added new ones: a supposed low demand. According to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport in the horizon of 2020 with the four subway lines in place, the 3 would be the first to travel with an annual demand of 34 million (113,591 passengers / day), compared with 17 92 million passengers per year estimated in 2. In short, users double in the 3 to 2 and the latter recorded the worst results of all four. Line 4 would reach about 23.53 million passengers per year within ten years and line 1 is already in operation would be 21.76 million passengers / year, ie, improve its current result but remain in third place 17, 92.

Development announced that opened in 2011 only 24 kilometers from the SE-40
Development announced that opened in 2011 only 24 kilometers from the SE-40
Apart from this tranche, the Government avoids clarify the date on which eventually the entire second round of Sevilla, with 77 miles · This month is charged to the TBM launch in 2011 the tunnels under the river
The works of the second ring road Sevilla continue on without end date certain and sure to be increasingly removed the initial estimate of completing them in 2012. The minister of development could only guarantee yesterday that in 2011 (first half, according to experts, in the municipal election year) the service will stretch 24 kilometers long linking the eastern sector the opposite ends of the motorway A -4 (meaning Cordoba and Cadiz sense) without going into Seville or use the SE-30. Traffic will travel in 12 minutes the distance previously required 25 minutes, representing a decrease of 15,000 tons of pollutant emissions (CO2).
The pending execution of the four tunnels under the river between Dos Hermanas and Coria, which will not begin until at least 2011, and the fact that there are still tender works for 40% of 77 kilometers of the route also indicates that the end of this infrastructure is far away. During the visit to the works, several representatives of the Ministry Building at all times avoided the press to clarify this point and settled the issue with the same phrase: "The deadline will know when it tendered the construction of last mile", ie Northwest-North arch Espartinas going to La Rinconada and thence to the junction with the A-4.
Regarding the progress of work, Development said yesterday that today 60% of the route of the second round is under construction. This percentage, however, includes the only party running, and therefore more advanced, which are 24 kilometers of the stretch east, where just held yesterday the minister's visit and the second section of 20 miles of Two Espartinas sisters whose works are awarded and the contract closed, but with little progress beyond the diversion of services affected and ground surveys.
The scientists in charge of the demarcation of Andalusia Road West, Rodrigo Vázquez, clarified to reporters that the tunnels under the river belong to the second installment and that the drilling machine to be built with these subways will this month for a manufacturer on the basis of data from ground surveys conducted since. It is estimated that the manufacture of bullet will take 14 months, with what to expect in early 2011 to see works between Dos Hermanas and Coria.
The visit, full of authorities, started at the level of urbanization Tarazona, also the point where it converges with the tunnel for future high-speed line being built to Antequera (Málaga). The party traveled in three buses the most advanced work of this section: the first 10 miles of dirt roads and drawn by their median and dozens of overpasses that already form the basis of this infrastructure from the junction with the A-4 ( Cordoba sense) to the junction with the A-92, a few meters from the cement of Alcala de Guadaira. The layout of the round passes behind the new Heineken brewery (Torreblanca), Rafael sale of headquarters Puleva and M. Barea. The two flyovers saving the A-92 still under construction, but the passing traffic has been resolved with a temporary detour and are expected to be built in three or four months, according to experts. It also remains to complete the step of the way of Peromingo livestock, near the Heineken Brewery.
So far no one gram of asphalt in this stage is more advanced. The Boundary Road yesterday estimated that since the spring of next year until the end of summer 2010 should be addressed by asphalting the firm to be the ideal time for this operation.
The draft General State Budget for 2010 allocated 226 million euros for the SE-40, as confirmed by the Minister of Development, who noted that this second round will cost 1,400 million euros in total. White described it as "a strategic project" of his department for mobility in the city of Seville and its surroundings and added that it is the "performance of larger metropolitan area that is being implemented in Spain.
During his visit, he accompanied Secretary of State Concepción Gutiérrez, the government delegate in Andalucía, Juan José López Garzón, the Councilor for Public Works, Rosa Aguilar, and the mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirín.

The World Monuments Fund experts working since 1965 in preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of more than 90 countries. About 85% of their income goes to preservation and defense projects, fieldwork and educational programs.
In Spain, apart from Seville include five landmarks: Las Vegas Upper and Lower Tagus river by the city of Toledo, the old city of Avila, the Camino de Santiago, Numancia and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia.
Given this report, the vice president of the Spanish Committee of ICOM, Víctor Fernández Salinas, said World Monuments Fund is "an institution highlighted in the heritage world, an entity with much popularity.
Thus, stressed the importance of an entity like "draw attention to one of the greatest threats to the heritage of the city's recent history" and wondered "what's going to say now the Ministry of Culture," since " are accumulating the negative aspects and Sevilla is at stake. "

The prohibition shall not apply to horse drawn carriages, tour buses, taxis and emergency services like firefighters and ambulances.
Is one year (end 2010) to finish the reform of the monument, which eventually cost 9.5 million euros due to the low bids, compared with 10 to 12 million who initially came to reshuffle. Seville's mayor reminded reporters yesterday that the agreed deadlines for all work and already closed all outstanding awards of this complex work. Monteseirín emphasized that the disappearance of the cars in the plaza will link it back to the gardens of the Maria Luisa's Park of Seville. In proceedings are expected to demolish the fence of the park to the avenue is a landscaped boulevard.

The comprehensive restoration of the Spain's Square (Plaza de España), the second most visited monument in the city, began last February with the rehabilitation of its balustrade ceramics. The most important reform is that the monument will restore the original appearance was in 1929, during the Ibero-American Exhibition in 1929 of Seville.
The news yesterday was that it has placed the first of 20 ceramics lamps that look at the entrance, next to the balaustada front, and faithfully reproduce the design that were originally in the mind of the architect Aníbal González. The model was obtained with old photographs and drawings from the period.
The balustrade of the estuary is also being replaced by new pieces of pottery. So far it has completed the replacement of the North section, closest to Avenida del Cid. Tragsa The company, which yesterday signed a cooperation agreement with the City, is the contractor for this task and the complementary project of restoration.

The ground surrounding the main source is replaced by pieces of 20x20 granite instead of asphalt agglomerate, but will be phased so that the site can remain open.
The mayor called the press to see the new ceramic lamp and attend the signing of the agreement with the state enterprise Tragsa a ceremony attended by his responsible Andalusian, Carlos Toscano.
The councilman was accompanied by a comprehensive representation of the Socialist group (at least six trustees), advisory and enterprise metropolitan Aguas de Sevilla (Emasesa), including vice president, Juan Ramon Troncoso, who is also mayor of San Juan de Aznalfarache .
Monteseirín noted the importance of the work to improve the image of this emblematic monument of Anibal Gonzalez whose recovery has been pending for over a decade. The political chief of the City Council emphasized that this transformation is not an isolated "because it is part of the city model who defends his government. The mayor's speech was more electoral than new, because the PSOE de Sevilla originally proposed on Sunday to start a campaign of mass communication to citizens to sell its management.
With respect to the estuary, which takes eight years without water, the City announced that recreational boats will return to this artificial canal in February 2010. At least that date is due to the station has run water treatment is necessary. The works of this season, a large hole in the center of Isabella Avenue, could be seen yesterday in the city.
