Il Simone ViaggiatoreCabo Trafalgar, Andalusia.<br> <br> Qui vicino, in passato si tenne una battaglia navale molto importante, quella tra la flotta spagnola e la flotta inglese. La seconda non riportò neppure una perdita, mentre la prima subì la disfatta.<br> <br> Per questo motivo ancora oggi esiste a Londra "Trafalgar Square", piazza che commemora quell'evento.<br> <br> Ma questa bella spiaggia con il suo faro e l'oceano colori verde smeraldo non sanno più nulla dei litigi di noi umani, e offrono a chiunque dei bei momenti passati a passeggiare, nuotare, fare surf.<br> <br> Una raccomandazione: lì intorno non ci sono molti paesi e su booking si trovano sistemazioni un po' ingannevoli: spesso si tratta di container a uso abitativo, casette prefabbricate di basso livello ma affittate a prezzi alti. Inoltre, non ci sono Paesi veri e propri ma aggregati di case che hanno attorno strade fangose e senza asfalto, dove circolare in automobile può diventare un problema in caso di pioggia.<br> <br> Se ami fare surf e sei consapevole di tutto ciò, questo posto rimane fantastico e, almeno in inverno, c'è poca gente.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/spagna?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spagna</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/trafalgar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trafalgar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/andalusia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#andalusia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/spiaggia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiaggia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/surf?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surf</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/faro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#faro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/oceano?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oceano</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/kitesurf?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kitesurf</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/atlantico?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atlantico</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/travelblog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travelblog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/travelblogger?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travelblogger</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/simoneviaggiatore?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simoneviaggiatore</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/fotografia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fotografia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/travelvlog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travelvlog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/travelvlogger?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travelvlogger</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/traveldestination?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traveldestination</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/trafalgarsquare?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trafalgarsquare</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/fotografare?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fotografare</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/seascape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seascape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/seascapephotograpy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seascapephotograpy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/landscapephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/lighthouse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lighthouse</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.uno/discover/tags/paesaggiomarino?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paesaggiomarino</a>

This week’s focus is the fate of HMS Victory following the battle, and the unlikely assistance from Royals and artists, before next week’s dives into a blow by blow of the battle.</p><p><a href="https://www.nmrn.org.uk/news/trafalgar-day-2024-hms-victory-after-trafalgar-and-wl-wyllie" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nmrn.org.uk/news/trafalgar-day</span><span class="invisible">-2024-hms-victory-after-trafalgar-and-wl-wyllie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RoyalNavy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoyalNavy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Trafalgar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trafalgar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ships</span></a></p>
David Allan<p>A different Trafalgar Square.<br>This one's in my home city of Sunderland in North East England.<br>In 1747, following an Act of Parliament, seamen were required to pay six pence per month from their wages to support disabled seamen and their families. This became known as the 'Muster Roll Fund'.<br>In Sunderland's East End, these historic almshouses were subsequently built to accommodate the families of lost seamen.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/england" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>england</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/sunderland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunderland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/almshouses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>almshouses</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/historic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/trafalgar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trafalgar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 8, 1886: Black Monday Riot in Trafalgar Square, London. Two rival organizations were demonstrating against unemployment and low wages, the London United Workmen’s Committee and the Social Democratic Federation. Despite their rivalry, both groups participated without any major fights.

Shipwrecks & Sea Dogs Podcast<p>On this day, 21 Oct 1805, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson died from injuries sustained by a musket ball during the legendary Battle of Trafalgar. The ball entered his left shoulder, passed through his lung, and shattered his spine. The British Admiral's fleet would win the day against the combined Spanish and French fleets using his daring and unconventional tactics.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>England</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RoyalNavy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoyalNavy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/trafalgar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trafalgar</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nelson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nelson</span></a></p>
