    DescriptionThe Alhambra  is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but it was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.

    DescriptionLe Mont Saint-Michel  is an island commune in Normandy, France. It is located about one kilometre (0.6 miles) off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches and is 100 hectares (247 acres) in size. As of 2009, the island has a population of 44.The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it: on top, God, the abbey and monastery; below, the great halls; then stores and housing; and at the bottom, outside the walls, houses for fishermen and farmers.The commune's position — on an island just 600 metres from land — made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The Mont remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433. The reverse benefits of its natural defence were not lost on Louis XI, who turned the Mont into a prison. Thereafter the abbey began to be used more regularly as a jail during the Ancien Régime

    Description: Running alongside the Pays de Caux area, the Alabaster coast stretches 130 kilometres. Magnificent white cliffs lined with pebble beaches can be admired between Le Tréport and the Hève cape. Its dizzyingly high chalk cliffs reach 120 metres in places! The long-distance Grande Randonnée footpath running along the top of these sheer cliffs offers exceptional views and will delight hikers. There are several essential stopping places along this magnificent coast, including Étretat, Fécamp and Dieppe.

    Description:Initially created to protect ibexes, the Vanoise national park is today an important site for the protection of flora and fauna. Stretching over 53,000 hectares, this park is divided into two parts: a central area in the heart of the massif for ramblers and skiers only, and an outlying area grouping together the prestigious ski resorts of the Tarentaise area, as well as typical villages. The Vanoise massif comprises around 100 peaks over 3,000 metres in altitude. The striking and unspoiled landscapes of the Vanoise massif are magical and awe-inspiring. Mountain walking fans will be in heaven.

    DescriptionOne of the most attractive stretches of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast (and that’s saying a lot), the little beach town of Ölüdeniz sits just south of Fethiye, where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean. The pebbly beach swings westward in a gentle crescent, ending at a picturesque blue lagoon that’s protected as a nature reserve. In addition to just sitting back and enjoying this Blue Flag beach, you can also get into paragliding here — Mount Babadağ, just southeast of town, is one of the best launches in Europe — and scuba divers can take advantage of the especially clear water.

    Landscape and biodiversity

     

    Biodiversity is the diversity of living species present in an environment.

    In Portugal we can see different landscapes like mountains, sea or forests. In the mountains many Portuguese bring up animals and grow many plants like corn and wheat.

    In Portugal we can see different landscapes like The Azores is highest mountain, labo de Sâo Vicente is coast of sea, or Rio Douro Valley is a landscape that a prefer.

    Rio Douro Valley has river long 200 km. The hills that surround the river banks are hand sculpted with terraces lined with grapewines that produce the famous Porto wine and the other wines of the region.

    The Douro Valley in the north of Portugal has the best climate and ground to cultivate grapes and wine-producing cultures. The undulating curves of the Douro create a beautiful and dramatic landscape which changes with the seasons and is so special that it was awarded the UNESCO World Heritage status in 2001.
