在飞马珀伽索斯的守望之下 Under the watch of Pegasus

亚历山大三世桥，法国巴黎

一觉睡醒，身在巴黎，听起来很有皇家风范，是不是？今天，透过屏幕，您看到的是暮色中的亚历山大三世桥。这座拱形大桥横跨塞纳河，于1900年亮相。为纪念1891年俄法同盟的建立，这座桥以俄国沙皇亚历山大三世的名字命名。两座56英尺高的塔分别坐落在河的两岸，顶上是飞马珀伽索斯的镀金青铜雕塑，彰显了这一事件的崇高地位。站在桥中央，你可以欣赏到河两侧的美景，一边是浪漫花园和荣军院广场，另一边是巴黎大皇宫和小皇宫博物馆。

Pont Alexandre III, Paris, France

The 'golden hour' just before sunset is the perfect time to take in views of Paris' most ornate bridge, the Pont Alexandre III. Arching over the Seine, the bridge was opened in 1900 and named after a Russian tsar, celebrating a new alliance between the two countries. Befitting the nobility of the event, two 56-foot columns sit on each bank of the river, crowned with gilt-bronze sculptures of the winged horse Pegasus. From the center of the bridge, standing above reliefs decorated with nymphs and beneath Art Nouveau-style lamps, you can admire some famous Parisian monuments. Views include the Esplanade des Invalides, the Grand Palais and Petit Palais museums, and the Eiffel Tower.

2800年历史的老城 2,800 years of history

Málaga, Spain

Today we're visiting a city with over 2,800 years of history, one of the oldest in Europe. Málaga is said to have been founded by the Phoenicians in 770 BCE and today its year-round exceptional weather has made it the capital of tourism in Spain. Situated perfectly along the Costa Del Sol, an estimated six million tourists make the trip to this culturally rich mecca every year. If you can pull yourself away from the beautiful beaches, you'll find yourself abound in historical architecture, museums and the local cuisine of espetos, specially skewered sardines cooked over an open fire.

Aside from paying Pablo Picasso's birthplace a visit, the most well-known reason people make the journey to Málaga is to celebrate Holy Week. Handled differently than the silent and meditative celebrations throughout the rest of Spain, Málaga's 45 processions are essentially colorful, loud, and exciting parties throughout the streets commemorating The Passion of Jesus from Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday. The event has happened for more than 500 years with a vast number of floats and other processional materials being carried over from year to year.

西班牙马拉加

今天我们要参观一座有2800多年历史的城市，它是欧洲最古老的城市之一。据说，马拉加是腓尼基人在公元前770年建立的，今天，一年到头的特殊天气使其成为西班牙的旅游之都。坐落在太阳海岸沿线，每年估计有600万游客前往这个文化丰富的麦加。如果你能远离美丽的海滩，你会发现自己拥有丰富的历史建筑、博物馆和埃斯佩托的当地美食，特别是在明火上烹制的串制沙丁鱼。

除了参观巴勃罗·毕加索的出生地，人们前往玛拉加最著名的原因是庆祝圣周。与西班牙其他地区的静默和冥想庆祝活动不同，玛拉加的45场游行基本上是五颜六色、喧闹和激动人心的聚会，贯穿于整个街道，从棕榈周日到复活节周日，纪念耶稣的激情。这件事已经发生了500多年，每年都有大量的彩车和其他游行材料被带到这里。
