The remains of an ancient settlement dating from the 3rd or 2nd century BC were found in the vicinity of <a href="https://all-andorra.com/bilbao-city/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bilbao</a> (<a href="https://all-andorra.com/basque-country/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Basque Community</a>, <a href="https://all-andorra.com/spain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain</a>) on the top of Malmasin Mountain. Burials were found in the Artxanda ridge area as well whose age is about 6,000 years. Some researchers believe that Bilbao’s ancient settlement could be called Amanun Portus, mentioned by Pliny the Elder, or Flaviobriga described by Claudius Ptolemy.
Bilbao was one of the first cities founded in the 14th century – a period when about three-quarters of all Biscay cities were built one after the other.
Diego Lopez V de Haro is considered to be the founder of Bilbao – he published a city charter in 1300, which was approved by King Ferdinand IV of Castile, and founded a new city on the right bank of the Nervión River.
The next ruler, Maria Diaz I de Haro, expanded the trading powers and privileges of Bilbao with a new charter in 1310, making the port an obligatory stop for all cargo going from Castile to the sea. Bilbao then received exclusive trade rights with the city of Las Arenas in addition. John I of Castile further strengthened the city’s position in 1372, giving Bilbao a free port status and special privileges in the iron trade. This meant that in the future Bilbao would become an extremely important port associated with trade relations with Flanders and Great Britain.
Queen Joanna I of Castile ordered the Consulate of the Sea (Consulado del Mar) creation in Bilbao in 1511. The port of Bilbao has become one of the most important in the country thanks to this.
The capital of Biscay changed from Bermeo to Bilbao in 1602. A series of rebellions broke out around 1631 in the city against the salt taxes increase initiated by the Spanish Crown. The riot was suppressed and several of its leaders were executed.
Thanks to the iron deposits found, Bilbao has constantly developed economically, supplying iron ore to Europe.
Bilbao was captured and plundered by Napoleonic troops at the beginning of the 19th century. The French planned to annex the Basque lands to France, however, due to the Iberian War and, especially, the Battle of Vitoria of 1813, their plans were not destined to come true.
The Basque Country became one of the main battlefields during the First Carlist Civilian War in the 19th century. However, Bilbao developed actively in the 19-20 centuries despite the war, becoming the Basque Country’s economic center. It was during this period that railways were built and expanded, the Bank of Bilbao (subsequently becoming one of the largest banking institutions in Spain – BBVA) was founded, as well as the Bilbao Stock Exchange.
Bilbao’s steel industry flourished with many new plants being created, including Santa Ana de Bolueta and Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, created in 1902. The city was modernized with new streets and avenues, and modern buildings such as the City Hall, Basurto Hospital, and the Arriaga Theater appeared.
The Spanish Civil War began in Bilbao with a series of small uprisings that were crushed by republican forces. The city was first bombed by nationalist aircraft on August 31st, 1936. Nationalists scattered leaflets in September, threatening further bombing if the city would not surrender. Their threats were realized on September 25th, when German planes, dropped at least one hundred bombs on Bilbao in agreement with Franco’s forces.
Bilbao’s industrial growth continued and was accompanied by steady population growth after the war. The iron and steel industry revived over the next decade, becoming a strategically important industrial sector in Spain. Workers moved to Bilbao from other Spanish regions to work for metallurgical enterprises. Such massive migration led to the development of a slum area on the slopes of the hills, as well as the accession of neighboring municipalities to the city, as the demand for housing exceeded the supply significantly.
Several city projects were implemented in Bilbao in the 60s, new neighborhoods were created, such as Otxarkoaga, and a highway was built to the border with <a href="https://all-andorra.com/france/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a>. The University of Bilbao was founded in 1968, which was integrated into the University of the Basque Country later on.
De-industrialization and the transition to a service economy began in Bilbao in the mid-1990s, supported by investments in infrastructure and city renewal. The foundation for this became the Guggenheim Museum’s opening, after which other significant objects were erected and launched: the Euskalduna conference center, Santiago Calatrava’s Subisuri suspension bridge, the metro (the stations were designed by architect Norman Foster), Bilbao Tram, Iberdrola Tower, and others. The development plan for the Zorrozaurre artificial island, designed by Zaha Hadid, was approved in 2012.
Medieval Bilbao consisted initially of three walled streets (Somera, Artecalle, and Tendería), on the site of which Ronda Street now passes. There was a small monastery inside dedicated to the Holy Apostle James (now there is St. James’ Cathedral), which pilgrims visited on the road to <a href="https://all-andorra.com/santiago-de-compostela/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santiago de Compostela</a>. Four more streets were built in the 15th century, forming the original Zazpikaleak (Old Town), known as “Seven Streets”. The city walls were demolished in 1571 after several floods and a major fire in 1569, which allowed for Bilbao’s further development and expansion.
Еngineer Amado Lazaro developed a project in 1861 to expand the then municipality (now it is one of the Bilbao districts) of Abando with wide avenues and traditional buildings. The Eixample district in <a href="https://all-andorra.com/barcelona/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> (<a href="https://all-andorra.com/catalonia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catalonia</a>), designed by Ildefons Serda, was taken as an example. However, this excellent project was canceled by the city council, which considered it “utopian” and “excessive” because of its high cost.
The next major changes occurred in Bilbao in 1876, when the city annexed the neighboring municipality of Abando in several stages. The new modernization project was much more modest. Abando, in contrast to the Casco Viejo narrow alleys maze, had to become the Bilbao modern center, an area in the form of a grid of streets and equal quarters, with wide straight boulevards. The main avenue of the new district was Gran Via de Don Diego Lopez de Haro.
The modernization was half completed by the end of the 1890s, and the municipalities of Deusto and Begoña had been merged by 1925, as well as part of Erandio (the rest of Erandio became part of Bilbao in 1940). The last annexation took place in 1966 – Lujua, Sondica, Derio, and Zamudio joined Bilbao. Bilbao’s area reached a record size and amounted to 107 square km after that. However, all these municipalities regained their independence on January 1st, 1983 with the exception of Deusto and Begoña.
Old Town (Las Siete Calles or Casco Viejo in Spanish, Zazpikaleak or Alde Zaharra in Basque) – these are the different names of Bilbao’s medieval quarter, which is part of the Ibaiondo district. The names mean “Seven Streets” or “Old Town” respectively. This quarter, which included exactly 7 streets, which were connected by narrow alleys – cantons (kantoi / cantón), was surrounded by a wall until the end of the 19th century.
This area is considered to be the city’s most vibrant part due to the authentic architecture of Bilbao’s main sights, including several churches (Sant Anton, St John and St John, Santiago Cathedral, Sant Nicolas), many colorful shops and taverns, a large historical market (Mercado de la Ribera), the Arriaga Theater, the Basque Language Academy building (Euskaltzaindia), and the public library. One can access other parts of the city by the metro, tram, and bus from Casco Viejo. Three public elevators connect the Old Town with the Begoña and Solokoetxe districts, without which it would have been quite difficult to get there on foot.
Casco Viejo’s bars and restaurants are extremely popular not only with city guests but with local residents as well – the “bar hopping” tradition is very common here when middle-aged men move from bar to bar, drink a glass of wine (chiquitos) and sing songs in unison.
The business and financial district of Abando, covers most of the city center, across the river from the Old Town, on the Bilbao Estuary’s left bank.
The northern part of Abando, near the River Nervion (Abandoibarra means Abando shore in translation), has been restored and updated in recent years. There are the main Abando district (and the whole of Bilbao) attractions in this former industrial area now: the Guggenheim Museum, the Euskalduna Conference Center and Concert Hall, Isozaki Towers, Iberdrola Skyscraper, Azkuna Zentroa Multicenter, as well as many recreational zones and residential quarters.
The main city’s artery is Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro Avenue, which crosses the city center and is named after the founder of the city, Diego Lopez de Haro V, Lord of Biscay. It was conceived in 1876 when architects Alzola, Achuсarro and Hoffmeyer planned to expand the city (ensanche) on the wide plains of the former municipality of Abando. The avenue crosses Abando and connects it with Casco Viejo in the east and the San Mames district in the west. With a width of 50 meters, Gran Via de Don Diego Lopez de Haro stretches for 1.5 km. It begins on the Circular square, next to the BBVA building, passes through Moyua Square (Plaza Moyua), and ends on the Sacred Heart of Jesus Square (Plaza Sagrado Corazon de Jesus), in the center of which a statue of Christ stands. Bilbao’s main square – Federico Moyua Plaza is located in the middle of the avenue, about 500 meters from its beginning and 800 meters from the end. Gran Via de Don Diego Lopez de Haro Avenue is Bilbao’s most important commercial and business area, with BBK and BBVA headquarters here, and the famous Spanish department store El Corte Inglés occupying two buildings.
The Sabino Arana and Juan Antonio Zunzunegui avenues provide a direct route from the city’s central areas to the motorways, while Autonomia Kalea connects the southern districts with the eastern and western ones.

Leucate (fr. Leucate), or Port Leucate, is a commune in France, which belongs to the former region Languedoc-Roussillon. Department of the Commune – Aude – in the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/occitania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Occitania</a> region (<a href="https://all-andorra.com/france/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a>). Included in the canton Les Corbières Méditerranée. District of the commune – the city of <a href="https://all-andorra.com/narbonne/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narbonne</a>.
It’s a popular part of the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/amethyst-coast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amethyst Coast</a> of the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/mediterranean-resorts-of-france/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediterranean resorts of France</a>.
This seaside resort is located on the coastal strip separating Leucate pond from the golf du Lion Bay, in the immediate vicinity of the marine Corbières (les Corbières maritimes), which are located in the east and differ from the rest of the Corbières by having a mild climate and plenty of thermal Mediterranean vegetation.

The port of Leucate can be reached via the D83 south of <a href="https://all-andorra.com/le-barcares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Le Barcarès</a> or via the D627 from the village of Leucate to the north.
The creation of the port of Leucate is the result of the development of the coastal region of Languedoc-Roussillon. The chief architect of the city is Georges Candilis. The port is part of the tourist site of Lacattes-le Barcares (or Port Leucate-Port Barcarès), built as part of the Racine mission.
France’s interministerial mission for the development of tourism on the coast of Languedoc-Roussillon, also known as the Racine mission, is in honor of Pierre Racine, its leader. The mission was established on June 18, 1963 by the state to carry out major infrastructural work to develop the Mediterranean coast in the departments of Gard, l’Hérault, l’Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales — in other words, along the amethyst coast (côte d’Améthyste).
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area.jpg" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-101402 size-large" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area-1024x769.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="769" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area.jpg 1024w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area-300x225.jpg 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area-768x577.jpg 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate-is-the-old-part-of-the-resort-area-800x601.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
The mission involved the development of the city and its transformation. Lawns, lighted fountains, palm trees, walking and cycling paths appeared.
Port Leucate is the old part of the resort area, which began to attract tourists even before the First World War at the beginning of the 20th century.
The port itself is located south of Corrège Island on the northern border of Port Barcares. Island Korrezh or the island of birds – covers about 150 hectares of land. It is connected to the land by two bridges on the D627 – in one direction the road leads to the water park, and in the other to the city of Leucate.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-347017" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min.png" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min.png 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min-300x200.png 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min-768x512.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Port-Leucate_where-is-it-min-800x533.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a>
In the port of Leucate, 1100 boats can fit in the water and 350 boats on the parking spaces on land. Useful information: the price to park boats ranges from 750 to 6,000 euros per year (depending on the size of the boat).
Tourism is the main activity of the port of Leucate, with more than 60,000 people visiting per year. The types of accommodation offered are mainly campgrounds, hotels and apartments. Part of the resort (5 of 45 hectares) is the nudist village of l’Île de La Corrège. It was created in 1974, as part of the same Racine mission. The village has its own pier.

Right on the Mediterranean coast is the resort area of the Rives des Corbières hotel, which is located 150 meters from the beach of Leucate.
Shopping, cuisine and restaurants
One of the attractions that you must visit is the shellfish port. It is located south of Leucate-Plage and north of the nudist village. Here you can come across the oyster farmers who grow oysters, mussels, clams and even king prawns. On this land, nature has arranged itself so that the most favorable conditions for the growth of oysters were created: a narrow strip of the beach separates the Mediterranean Sea from the freshwater lake. It is this composition of water – a combination of fresh and sea water – that affect the quality of oyster meat.
However, on this farm, oysters do not multiply, they are brought here when small from Kankal. In any case, the prices for oysters here at the local farm are among the lowest in France.

The farm has its own trading infrastructure – here you can buy oysters. The price for 1 kg is about 2-3 euro, and half a dozen open oysters on ice with wine is 4.50 euros.
Leucate is where people come to taste oysters on-site, <a href="https://all-andorra.com/jerome-ferrari-director-of-the-oyster-farm-chez-allary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Jérôme Ferrari</a>, director of the oyster farm “Chez ALLARY”.
In connection with its own production of oysters, in Leucate a huge number of restaurants specialize in seafood.
In the port of Leucate a huge selection of boats, catamarans, yachts and everything related to the rest of the sea can be found.

Tourism, sights and what to do?
Nearly 8 km of the sandy beach of la plage des Coussoules de Leucate, which stretches from Grau de la Franqui to the port of Port la Nouvelle, make Leucate the center for land windsurfing. This is one of the highlights in Port Leucate.

Land windsurfing is also called streetsailing. This sport appeared in the late 90s and received a lot of interest in the USA, Great Britain and France. It involves nothing more than making a variety of maneuvers, similar to movements in windsurfing, on land with the help of a specially designed board and sail.

Fort Carré, often Fort Carré d’Antibes, is a 16th-century star-shaped fort of four arrow-head shaped bastions, that stands on the outskirts of <a href="https://all-andorra.com/antibes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Antibes</a> in the Alpes-Maritimes department (<a href="https://all-andorra.com/provence-alpes-cote-dazur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur</a> region) in Southeastern <a href="https://all-andorra.com/ru/franciya/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">France</a>. Henri de Mandon built the fort and then during the 17th century, Marquis de <a href="https://all-andorra.com/vauban-unesco-heritage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vauban</a> redeveloped it.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181503" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min.png" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min.png 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min-300x200.png 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min-768x512.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_photos-min-800x533.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a>
Vauban intervened very little on Fort Carré. Visiting Antibes in the 1680s, he drew up several plans and established a list of works to be carried out for the defenses of Antibes, its port, and Fort Carré. He entrusted the engineer Antoine de Niquet with the task of supervising this work.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181491" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min.png" alt="" width="900" height="1350" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min.png 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min-200x300.png 200w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min-768x1152.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min-683x1024.png 683w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Fort-Carré_france-min-800x1200.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a>
Regarding Fort Carré, little of this work has actually been completed. These include a general overhaul of equipment to ensure better comfort for the troops, as well as the creation of external defenses. The silhouette of the building has not been modified by Vauban. The present form of Fort Carré has remained, more or less, the one it already had in the sixteenth century.

Toss and turn in bed at midnight, but can’t sleep? Before you start taking pills, try natural sleeping pills. This is what my post is about today.
Milk has traditionally been used for this purpose, very often by grandmothers. A glass of warm milk with a drop of honey soothes not only our childhood memories but also due to the content of tryptophan. It is needed for the formation of melatonin – a hormone that soothes.
Some foods can improve the quality of sleep, others improve sleep. Products containing magnesium and potassium increase the concentration of melatonin.
Why not use some products to help with sleeping instead of pills?
1. Almond. This protein source is rich in magnesium which relaxes the muscles. It also contains proteins which help maintain blood sugar levels. Almonds contain riboflavin and L-carnitine, essential for the brain. It is easily digested, which contributes to a peaceful sleep. Other nuts work the same way. Choose nuts unroasted and unsalted.
2. Tea. The best choice of tea before bedtime is a herbal tea without caffeine. Mint, chamomile, tea from lemon balm or hops will work well. Even in the case of herbal teas, consult your doctor about their use. They may affect other medications being taken.
3. Cottage cheese supports and helps us to fall into a deep sleep. It contains a large amount of protein, vitamins and minerals.
4. Banana. You can use it instead of a sleeping tablet because it contains potassium and magnesium. Both of these minerals relax muscles. It also contains tryptophan. Drink a banana cocktail in the evening – a combination of milk and honey will be ideal for sleeping.
5. Oatmeal. It contains calcium, magnesium, silicon, potassium and phosphorus, that is, minerals that are very important for good sleep. Cook porridge with milk and add fruit instead of sugar.
6. Cherry. Contains melatonin, which aids with sleeping.
7. Gelatin. Ideal without sugar and dyes. It contains the amino acids proline and glycine, which not only benefit the health of the skin, hair and nails, but also accelerate wound healing, improve immunity and sleep quality.
8. Grape wine. As they contain melatonin it means that sleep is guaranteed. Even a small glass of wine will help you fall asleep, but be careful because alcohol can also work as a stimulant.
9. Peas. Contain vitamin B6, which stimulates the production of melatonin.
10. Eggs. If hunger comes before bedtime, ideally eat one hard-boiled egg. Eggs contain tryptophan. If you add an egg to a salad, it will be just the perfect light dinner and a ticket for a good night’s sleep.
How do YOU fight insomnia?

Moskvitch-412 is a Soviet and Russian rear-wheel drive car of group II small class, produced from October 1967 to 1976 at the MZMA (AZLK) plant in <a href="https://all-andorra.com/moscow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moscow</a>, and from 1967 to 1998 at the Izhevsk Automobile Plant in Izhevsk (USSR).
Initially it was a version of the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/moskvitch-408e/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moskvitch 408</a> car with a more powerful engine. At AZLK, both models were produced in parallel until 1976, and then, after another restyling and modernization, production continued under the index <a href="https://all-andorra.com/soviet-cars-moskvich-2140-sl-rally-1600-made-in-1983-moscow-transport-museum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2140</a> (2138 for the M-408). The Moskvitch-412 machines of the Izhevsk plant were modernized according to their own program.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-320137" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min.png" alt="" width="902" height="558" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min.png 902w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min-300x186.png 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min-768x475.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Moskvitch-412.-Blue-version-min-800x495.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px" /></a>
The creation of a modification with a more powerful and high-speed engine was envisaged even at the design stage of the Moskvitch-408, and in order to obtain money from the state for a new engine, a sports modification of the car was developed. In practice, the development of the sports version of the “Tourist” (with an open body, then called “gran turismo” in Italian) did not take place, the car did not even receive its own index, however, engine development that began under a sports “sauce” continued and led to to the birth of the 1.5-liter overhead engine model M-412. This engine, for lack of anything else, was installed in a modified body of the serial M-408, as a result of which the dynamic capabilities of the car increased sharply, essentially approaching the objective limit of the capabilities of its chassis.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-368209" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min.png" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min.png 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min-300x200.png 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min-768x512.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_seats-min-800x533.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a>
Up until the start of production of the 412, Moskvitch cars always had, in comparison with the contemporary products of the Gorky plant, slightly lower specific power, and, accordingly, a slightly lower maximum speed and slightly worse acceleration dynamics. “Moskvitch-412” stood out sharply from this series – in terms of specific power (13.9 kg/hp) it looked much better in comparison not only with its contemporary <a href="https://all-andorra.com/gaz-21-volga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volga GAZ-21</a> (19 kg/hp), but also the promising at that time <a href="https://all-andorra.com/gaz-24-black-sedan-power-95-hp-made-in-1975-moscow-transport-museum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GAZ-24</a> (15.5 kg/hp). Such small but relatively powerful cars had not been produced in the USSR before, which was a wonder for drivers of those years, who were accustomed to the “table of ranks” of cars that had been established back in the days of “Victory” and “400th” Moskvitch. Subsequently, this situation was further developed in connection, on the one hand, with the refusal of serial production of the powerful six-cylinder modification of the GAZ-24, and on the other, with the advent of “luxury” modifications of the Zhiguli, <a href="https://all-andorra.com/vaz-21033-zhiguli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VAZ-2103</a> and 2106, which not only left “ Volga is behind in terms of dynamics, but has also closely caught up with it in terms of retail price and degree of prestige.
At the time of its production in 1967, the Moskvitch-412, like the Moskvitch-408, was assembled in a 1964 model body, with teardrop-shaped vertical rear lights and round headlights. Since a number of components of the Moskvitch-412, in particular the wider radiator, did not fit into the engine compartment of the 408 body, the very first copies of the new model rolled off the assembly line in bodies specially modified by changing a number of elements; then, in the same 1967, the so-called “unified” body was introduced – still with the old design, but suitable for installing both the “408” and “412” power units without modifications.
<a href="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min.png" class="light"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-368217" src="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min.png" alt="" width="900" height="600" srcset="https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min.png 900w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min-300x200.png 300w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min-768x512.png 768w, https://all-andorra.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Moskvitch-412_white-version-min-800x533.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a>
Meanwhile, at the same time, the development of an updated body for the “Moskvitch” began, and its creators were given the goal of maximum unification of the power elements with the existing one, in particular, the door openings and the roof were to remain unchanged.
As a result of the modernization, since December 1969, both models (both M-408 and M-412) received a modified body, into which both power units available in production could be installed without modifications. Along with some external modernization, the modernized body was brought to compliance with the passive safety requirements adopted in those years, which was confirmed by certification tests in France. In particular, all bodies received fastenings for seat belts, which became standard equipment in 1969, and the protruding elements of the interior became injury-proof, with soft linings (since February 1969 – only on AZLK; on the Izhevsk (most popular) version, soft interior elements appeared only in 1976). Therefore, the letters I and E were added to the designations of both models, indicating compliance with the passive safety standards established by the UNECE and, accordingly, the potential for export to developed countries. In general, Moskvitch-412IE was the first Soviet car in which serious attention was paid to passive safety issues. The dual-circuit brake system (at AZLK – since 1969) has seriously improved the active safety of the car. In 1974, fangs appeared on the bumpers (at AZLK), which were also an element of passive safety – they prevented the car from “diving” under an obstacle.
The visual novelty of the updated car was ensured by the use of horizontal lights with triangular rear direction indicators and rectangular headlights made in the GDR (also installed on Wartburg 353 cars). While maintaining the decorative “fins” of the rear wings, symbolizing the continuity of the design of the brand’s cars, the Moskvitch received a fundamentally new design at the front: the turn signal lights stretched out and took places under the headlights, and the radiator grille received a cage-like pattern with wide, low cells.

Such machines went into production at MZMA in December 1969, and at about the same time at Izhmash. At the same time, Moskvitch-412 received an interior with separate front seats (since January 1968) and a gear lever in the floor (since November 1968), along with a new, injury-proof (folding upon impact) steering column and a parking brake lever between the front seats. Moskvitch-408 also received separate seats, but the gear shift lever remained on the old-style steering column until the end of 1971 (on some examples until mid-1973).
In addition, throughout the entire production, other, less noticeable changes and improvements were made to the car’s design. Although since 1969 the Moskvitch-412IE became the base model of the Moscow plant, the production of the Moskvitch-408IE was retained.

The carrying capacity of VAZ cars and the survivability of their chassis were significantly lower, which predetermined the “division of labor” between these cars for the coming decades – the Moskvitch began to be perceived as a less comfortable, but more durable and passable car, well suited for trips to nature or to the dacha with luggage, while the Zhiguli enjoyed a reputation as a dynamic “road” car (later the same fate befell the “classic” VAZ models themselves in comparison with front-wheel drive ones).
The weak point was the 4-speed gearbox, designed in its main parts, inherited, in fact, from the 407th model. Small dimensions limited the engineers’ ability to create a strong and reliable box, so when paired with a significantly more powerful power unit, the box had relatively low durability and a high percentage of premature failure. Otherwise, the car inherited the high structural simplicity, reliability, and unpretentiousness to operating and maintenance conditions characteristic of its predecessors. In particular, the UZAM-412 engine, not inferior in terms of boost, power indicators and service life to VAZ engines, could run on AC-8 / M-8B type oils, while the Zhiguli engine required a special oil specially introduced for them category “G” (M-12G and similar).

Moskvitch-3-5-3 – one of the first attempts to develop a car to replace the 408-412 family (1970) 
In 1971, the MZMA plant underwent reconstruction; after the launch of a new conveyor, the production volume of Moskvitch vehicles almost doubled. In the same year, the interior of the Moskvitch (both 408IE and 412IE) produced by AZLK was modernized: the instrument panel, instead of several separate soft overlays, received one common one, new door trims, interior handles, and so on appeared.
The logic of the previous history of the AZLK / MZMA plant gave reason to perceive the 412IE model as a transitional one: an updated body combined with a fundamentally new engine. It was in this way, due to the “transitional” series, that a change of generations took place at MZMA in the 1950s – 1960s.
However, despite numerous attempts by factory designers in the early 1970s to design a car combining a new, modern body and mechanics of the 412 model, a replacement for the 412 family actually appeared only in the 1980s, and it was already completely different. The car is <a href="https://all-andorra.com/moskvitch-214122/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moskvitch-2141</a>, a front-wheel drive hatchback, created on the basis of the body of the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/france/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French</a> Simca-Chrysler 1307 and the UZAM-412 engine, which was already outdated by that time.

Csilla Mezösi, the Secretary General of ESPA since 2018, tells us about the main goals and objectives of the association, as well as the latest ESPA Innovation Awards:
“The ESPA is a non-profit association of the SPA sector, based in Brussels (Belgium) since 1995. Our members have been promoting the use of natural remedies, such as mineral and thermal water, as well as healing climatic, sustainable and green destinations within the domain of balneotherapy and SPA medicine.
The experience of using natural resources, such as mineral water, peoids, sea and climate in medicine has been based on hundreds of years of experience, proving successful treatment for numerous diseases. The historical treatments that medical SPAS offer are particularly effective in the areas of rheumatology, respiratory disorders, dermatological and metabolic problems.
Today, new demands are emerging related to how society is developing; particularly, with regard to the surge in chronic diseases and aging populations. Lifestyle disorders are more prevalent, particularly those that affect the musculoskeletal system, in addition to eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia.
Mental health became a central focus, and the demand was growing fast.
Thalasso therapy, medical wellness, relaxation, detox, anti-aging and beauty offers complement the traditional medical SPA treatments. They also offer a range of services in areas such as sport and fitness.
The association represents 20 European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Netherlands, France, Germany, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Denmark.
The ESPA represents over 1,400 medical SPAS and health resorts, as well as facilities for treatment, prevention, rehabilitation and health and wellness tourism in Europe. The related European market contains, according to the ESPA, approximately 10,000 facilities. The industry employs, directly and indirectly, around 850,000 people and has an annual turnover of approximately 50 billion euros.
Scientists conducted a unique scientific study that recorded impressive changes in the well-being of its participants. Balneotherapy, using mineral water and therapeutic mud, is an environmentally friendly method that complements traditional therapy. It turns out that even a three-day course of procedures in a therapeutic sanatorium is enough to reduce levels of stress, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
Balneotherapy helps to reduce biological age by 2.2 years! And the effect of a two-week course of procedures lasts up to a half of a year.
According to the latest research, around 40% of the population suffers from sleep disorders, and we can, thus, speak of a civilisation disease that has a negative impact on mental and physical health.
Royal SPA won the Innovative SPA Products Category with their concept, Sleep Balance, addressing modern issues, like sleep disorders. Their approach combines prevention, advanced diagnostics, innovative treatments and technology. Rooms feature biodynamic LED lights and sensor pads monitoring clients’ vital functions. Guests join chronobiologic phototherapy sessions and tailored exercises for holistic well-being.
Another example could is a study that won the award for the most innovative scientific research in SPA therapy, and was conducted by one of the clinics in Bad Pyrmont, Germany. One key aspect was an emphasis on incorporating locally available natural remedies into the therapy, such as the use of moor, healing water, brine and carbonic acid from Bad Pyrmont. In addition, the study looked at a relatively rare disease, systemic mastocytosis, and its impact on osteoporosis and employability, shedding light on a previously under-researched area in the SPA and rehabilitation sector.
And, finally, one hotel in Italy introduced an innovative SPA concept known as “The Preidlhof Way.” This wellness philosophy is based on the latest neuroscience studies that describe two types of well-being: hedonic and eudaimonic.
Hedonic well-being is experienced in the most joyful and hedonistic terms, in beauty and a pleasant external realisation. Eudaimonic well-being is achieved when one confronts one’s past and heals. In Eudaimonic wellbeing, learning and introspection are valued.
The ESPA launched its international EuropeSpa med and EuropeSpa wellness certificates in order to boost cross-border transparency and fairness in competition.
EuropeSpa criteria focus on safety, hygiene, therapy infrastructure (EuropeSpa med) and wellness infrastructure, plus service quality (EuropeSpa wellness). The certificates help professionals, such as health insurance companies and tour operators (as well as patients and guests) to identify quality SPA facilities in the balneotherapy and wellness sectors in Europe.
Balneotherapy is provided only in medical SPA facilities that are recognized by state authorities. It is part of the health care system and has to abide by strict regulations”.

Lake Castillon is the first artificial lake to be built along the <a href="https://all-andorra.com/verdon-river/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Verdon river</a>. 8 km in length, it stretches from Castellane to Saint-André-les-Alpes and covers an area of more than 1,200 acres. It is the second largest lake in the Verdon Valley, just after Lake Sainte-Croix.

Visually, Lake Castillon is quite different and is more reminiscent of the nearby Alpine lakes. Nestled in the heart of the Verdon National Park, this gorgeous, emerald coloured lake also offers a multitude of activities to do on your holiday.

For the sportier ones, there are many activity centres to choose from: canoeing, paddle boarding, motor boating or sailing from Castellane, Saint-Julien-du-Verdon or Saint-André-les-Alpes.

So he is proposing that any cell structure with the capacity to develop and give rise to a born human being should be regarded as an embryo.
Although the moral status of the embryo has been a crucial issue in public debates, what has emerged as being of paramount importance is the precise delimitation of what a human embryo is and its distinction from other similar entities. This is not just a semantic problem, but also a normative one that has significant practical implications for research.
In this respect, several scientific and technological advances in reproductive biology have forced a re-examination of the definition of human embryo in the last two decades. The possibility of generating human embryos through procedures other than fertilization, such as nuclear transfer, and the development of technologies that today make it possible to generate cell models capable of imitating embryonic structures have called into question the scientific term embryo, which has both ethical and legal repercussions.
“Technological developments sometimes create the need to rethink conceptual categories that were once taken for granted. Right now, it is no longer possible to maintain that an embryo is always and only the result of fertilization,” said Iñigo de Miguel-Beriain.
Together with Jon Rueda from the University of California-San Diego, and Adrian Villalba from the University of Granada, Iñigo de Miguel-Beriain has published a paper in which they reflect on different legal definitions of a human embryo and provide a solid definition from a legal perspective. “The paper proposes an alternative view in which any cell structure that has the capacity to develop and give rise to a born human being should be regarded as an embryo, and that this capacity should be the cornerstone on which the definition is built, as is already the case in some countries in fact, and as the Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled.”
“Our reflection aims to contribute towards consolidating a concept of embryo that is more capable of addressing the challenges posed by advances in biotechnology,” said the scientist.

Barcelona will organise the largest ever exhibition regatta of Catalan sailing boats. The exhibition will take place in September, with the show featuring Catalan sportsmen taking place at the same location where the participants of the 37th Louis Vuitton America’s Cup will compete. A record number of about 300 sail boats are expected to take part.
A Catalan sail boat is a light catamaran-type vessel characterised by the absence of oars, rudder and jib (triangular sail).
The Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation works to promote a school and youth league of Catalan sail boats, which will be kept in the city as a legacy project.
This project aims to popularise sailing and, in particular, Catalan sail boats among young people.

This is a standard tool that uses a single methodology to analyse the gustatory, olfactory and visual properties of different types of wine from the 11 Catalan designations of origin, and which can easily be applied to other designations of origin.
For a wine to be awarded the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification, it has to meet certain requirements (e.g. geographical, production, physico-chemical and sensory…). The European regulation establishing these conditions was renewed in 2013, and since then the sensory characteristics of each type of wine produced in a PDO must be explicitly stated in the specifications. The incorporation of this regulatory requirement entailed the need to set up laboratories and methods that would allow reliable sensory analysis of the gustatory, olfactory and visual characteristics of wines to be made, so that they could be verified by the corresponding competent body.
Given that sensory characteristics are perceived through the senses, one of the challenges facing the industry was to make the methods of analysis as objective as possible. And what was of interest at the same time was that a method did not have to be developed for each type of wine. In other words, that there should be a standard tool that could be used to evaluate different wine products. At that time it did not exist and, even today, no internationally harmonised method is used, unlike other products with designation of origin, such as virgin olive oil, for example.
In this context, in collaboration with the Catalan Institute of Vines and Wines (INCAVI) and the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA), the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has made a major contribution: it has developed a standard methodology for the sensory analysis of wine from the 11 Catalan designations of origin. When the project was launched in 2016, there was only one sensory analysis method in Spain.
It had been developed by the Laboratory of Sensorial Analysis of the University of the Basque Country (LASEHU) to analyse two specific types of wine: unoaked red wine from the Rioja Alavesa region and white Txakoli. “We had 37 types of wine grouped into 11 PDOs. So coming up with a model for each of them was not feasible; so we decided to propose a different strategy that was less specific to a particular type of wine,” explained Anna Gomis-Bellmunt, one of the authors of the study.
