CAPTULO 1
INTRODUCCIN
En un contexto nacional e internacional de crisis, muchos analistas y economistas
coinciden en que uno de los pilares fundamentales donde se ha sustentado la
economa espaola ha sido y es el Turismo. Pero, qu nos transmite la palabra
Turismo?
Preguntamos por la calle y casi todos coinciden: sol, playa, relax, vacaciones
Unos tpicos que si bien tienen razn de ser en muchas zonas de nuestro pas, hay
otros sitios tursticos cada vez ms en auge a los que una gran parte de la poblacin
parece obviar: el turismo rural.
Medina Sidonia es un pueblo (aunque histricamente se le conoce como Muy Noble
y Muy Leal Ciudad de Medina Sidonia) geogrficamente localizado casi en el centro de
la provincia de Cdiz. Est en un cerro de unos trescientos metros de altura y
actualmente tiene una poblacin de casi doce mil habitantes. Pero Medina Sidonia,
antes que todos esos datos, es el pueblo donde he crecido hasta que entr en la
Universidad. Aunque esto ltimo es sumamente importante en la eleccin de este
Trabajo Fin de Grado, tuve en cuenta otros detalles que relacionan todos mis
conocimientos adquiridos con la temtica que aqu tratar.
Medina Sidonia es desde hace unos cuantos aos un atractivo turstico de gran
importancia, y qu ofrece Medina Sidonia al visitante? Ofrece tranquilidad,
desconexin, historia, gastronoma En definitiva, es un gran destino turstico rural.
Bien sabemos que son los extranjeros los que ms se interesan por estos destinos, y
eso lo digo con conocimiento sobre el terreno de todos los aos que he vivido all. De
vez en cuando consultaba la pgina web del pueblo, y vea cmo no tena traduccin a
otro idioma, principalmente ingls, y desde hace mucho supe que era una carencia
que tarde o temprano deba suplirse.
En este Trabajo Fin de Grado del Grado en Turismo vi la oportunidad de hacer la
traduccin que siempre haba echado en falta de la pgina web de mi pueblo, pues me
vi con conocimientos suficientes como para no solo hacer una traduccin, sino una
adaptacin. He podido aplicar todo lo que he aprendido sobre marketing, ya no solo en
teora, sino en la prctica, pues mi ao de Erasmus en Francia y mi experiencia
viviendo en Londres me han permitido hacer una valoracin sobre el terreno de qu
visin tenan los extranjeros (franceses e ingleses en mi caso) sobre Espaa y qu les
gustaba de ella. Obvia decir que este TFG ha puesto a prueba mis conocimientos
sobre ingls, de nuevo, tericos y prcticos.
En este sentido, tambin he valorado considerablemente el feedback que este
Trabajo iba a producir, ya que hacer la traduccin/adaptacin de la web de Medina
Sidonia no solo tendra repercusin a nivel acadmico, sino que es un trabajo que
pondr a disposicin del Excmo. Ayuntamiento para que consideren el volcado a la
web. Las conversaciones estn iniciadas y por su parte han mostrado inters en mi
Trabajo, quedando ambas partes a disposicin de hablar el asunto. Y no es balad que
se hayan interesado por la adaptacin de la web, puesto que el Consistorio sabe
perfectamente la evolucin del turismo en el pueblo. Para muestra, un botn: segn
Exceltur, El inicio del ao confirma la fortaleza del mercado britnico (+4,0%)
favorecido por la depreciacin del euro frente a la libra y el notable crecimiento del
consumo de las familias., y gran parte del turismo extranjero en Medina Sidonia es de
origen ingls.

CAPTULO 2
OBJETIVOS Y METODOLOGA
2.1. OBJETIVOS DEL TRABAJO

Me veo obligada a mencionar de nuevo el feedback del que he hablado en el apartado
anterior, ya que desde el primer momento he podido diferenciar varios tipos de
objetivos en cuanto a la realizacin de este trabajo, a saber: objetivos
acadmicos/personales y objetivos profesionales.
OBJETIVOS ACADMICOS/PERSONALES.
-
Aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos durante mi recorrido acadmico en un

trabajo que, si bien nace de un requerimiento acadmico, puede perfectamente
adaptarse a las necesidades reales de la poblacin en cuestin.
Conocer mejor un campo que no haba tratado mucho como es la traduccin de

una pgina web de carcter oficial.
Mejorar mi ingls, perfeccionando el vocabulario en temas ms concretos como

el turismo, la arqueologa, o la historia en general.
Ser duea de mis propias apreciaciones y tener iniciativa para realizarlas (ya
he comentado en el apartado anterior cmo desde hace aos he considerado
una carencia el hecho de que la web no est traducida al ingls).
Acercar a la poblacin de Medina Sidonia el ingls como idioma importante

para el desarrollo local, facilitndoles su aprendizaje leyendo textos y
descripciones traducidas de su propia ciudad.
Creacin de un banco bilinge en el que se detalla un listado de palabras y

frases en ingls y su significado en espaol, para la posible utilizacin en un
futuro por parte de alguien que lo necesite.
OBJETIVOS PROFESIONALES.
-
Dotar a la web de Medina Sidonia de una traduccin al ingls que se adapte a

las necesidades y requerimientos de los turistas que visiten el pueblo, a la vez
que se consigue alcanzar una mayor difusin internacional del municipio y la
regin en la que se encuentra.
Ayudar en la mejora del posicionamiento de Medina Sidonia dentro de la

provincia y de la comarca, haciendo ms atractivo el pueblo para los turistas
que estn por la zona.
Situar a Medina Sidonia como referente de turismo rural a nivel internacional.
Facilitar el trabajo del propio Consistorio respecto a la traduccin de la web,

ofrecindole la oportunidad de tomar mi trabajo sin remuneracin alguna,
ahorrndole costes derivados de la contratacin de una traduccin privada.
Facilitar la labor de investigadores extranjeros en Medina Sidonia, ayudando a

entender mejor su historia estando esta traducida al ingls (idioma cientfico
internacional por excelencia), sobre todo en el contexto actual en el que las
ruinas del Castillo (que mencionaremos ms adelante) se encuentran en una
-3-
fase de excavacin muy avanzada y con una proyeccin de futuro muy

ambiciosa.
-
Reducir la barrera existente entre los comercios de la zona y los turistas que no
saben hablar bien espaol.
2.2. METODOLOGA
La base de este Trabajo Fin de Grado es la pgina web del Ayuntamiento de Medina
Sidonia. Para realizar la traduccin he comenzado por hacer un anlisis crtico del
texto original, y as tener una visin global de la pgina para poder decidir qu
informacin puede resultar ms til y cul menos, teniendo en cuenta que este trabajo
est dirigido a un pblico extranjero.
Tambin he consultado pginas escritas originalmente en ingls, como la Gua de
Turismo de Londres (Official Visitor Guide) y de otras ciudades inglesas, para ver el
tipo de informacin que prestan y qu tipo de lenguaje utilizan. Esto lo he considerado
primordial porque en todo el trabajo he estado visualizando a un pblico extranjero
ficticio que estuviera leyendo la informacin que yo misma estaba traduciendo.
Para llevar a cabo la traduccin de la pgina he utilizado diccionarios monolinges
como Oxford English Dictionary Online, a travs del catlogo Fama de la Biblioteca de
la Universidad de Sevilla. Tambin he usado varios diccionarios multilinges como
pueden ser WordReference y Cambridge Dictionaries Online, adems de memorias de
traduccin como Linguee. El uso de un material tan amplio as como la gran cantidad
de informacin que tiene la pgina web del Ayuntamiento de Medina Sidonia, han
hecho que el proceso de traduccin sea largo, aunque muy gratificante a la hora de
aprender.
Como ya he comentado en apartados anteriores, no es tanto una traduccin literal
sino una adaptacin o versin de la pgina original, puesto que he dejado sin traducir
algunas partes que, en mi opinin, podran ser menos relevantes para el turista
extranjero en tanto que es informacin muy concreta o especfica, y dicha informacin
la encontrar una vez visite el pueblo. De esta forma la pgina traducida tendra una
mayor claridad al quitar ese exceso de informacin. Ejemplos de estas partes que he
considerado oportuno eliminar dentro del apartado de Turismo de la pgina original
son Cmo llegar, Dnde alojarse, Dnde comer y el Listado de Empresas. A
continuacin se detallan todos estos subapartados que contiene la pgina original.
Oficina de Turismo: este apartado muestra los horarios de apertura de la Oficina
de Turismo de Medina Sidonia y la direccin en la que se encuentra, as como el
nmero de telfono y el email de contacto. Esta parte s la he incluido en la
traduccin por su importancia a la hora de que un turista necesite ms informacin
y sepa dnde acudir.
Cmo llegar: aqu se hace referencia a los medios de transporte por los que se
puede llegar a Medina Sidonia o hasta puntos cercanos al pueblo, como pueden
ser el Aeropuerto o la Estacin de Trenes de Jerez. Tambin es posible llegar en
autobs y, por supuesto, en coche. Este apartado no lo he incluido como tal en la
pgina traducida, puesto que existen otras pginas que explican de una manera
ms clara y sencilla cmo llegar hasta el pueblo, utilizando el sistema de GPS. Un
ejemplo de estas pginas es la Web oficial de turismo de Cdiz, la cual ya se
encuentra traducida a varios idiomas, entre ellos el ingls.
Dnde alojarse: hay un listado en el que se definen los hoteles, casas rurales,
pensiones, campings y otros alojamientos que se encuentran en la localidad y los
alrededores, junto con sus correspondientes direcciones, nmeros de telfono,
emails de contacto y pginas web (aquellos que la tengan). Considero que esta
informacin es de gran importancia para un turista pero, al igual que ocurre con el
apartado de Cmo llegar, tampoco se especifican demasiado estos alojamientos.
-4-
Por ello, he investigado y la misma Web oficial de turismo de Cdiz ofrece una
lista mucho ms detallada y con ms informacin de todos estos mismos
alojamientos, incluso una pequea descripcin de algunos de ellos, por lo que
remitir a esta Web oficial de turismo de Cdiz. En un futuro, puesto que mi
trabajo est a disposicin del Ayuntamiento de Medina Sidonia, si lo necesitaran
mejorara y/o ampliara la informacin de los apartados Cmo llegar, Dnde
alojarse y Dnde comer, que describo a continuacin.
Dnde comer: en este apartado aparecen los bares, restaurantes, ventas,
mesones y dems sitios donde comer bien que pueden encontrarse en el pueblo y
en los alrededores. Como pasa en los apartados anteriores, aqu tambin hay
poca informacin de estos lugares, aunque s aparece lo bsico como la direccin,
el nmero de telfono, el email o pgina web, en su caso.
Listado de empresas: aqu se ofrece una lista con todas las empresas que hay en
Medina Sidonia y los datos de contacto de cada una de ellas. Este apartado no he
credo necesario traducirlo puesto que las empresas que aparecen son de muy
diversa ndole, desde una administracin de loteras hasta una residencia canina
y, en mi opinin, no creo que esto tenga especial relevancia para un turista
extranjero que visite nuestra ciudad.
Fiestas: dentro del apartado de fiestas se detallan las ms importantes celebradas
durante todo el ao en Medina Sidonia, desde la Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos
el da 5 de Enero, hasta el da en que se celebra el Beln Viviente en las
vacaciones de Navidad, pasando por el Carnaval, la Semana Santa, la Feria y las
actividades culturales que se celebran a lo largo de los meses de verano para
todos los vecinos, tanto nios como adultos.
Qu visitar: este es, en mi opinin, uno de los apartados ms importantes para el
turista, debido al gran valor patrimonial que ofrece esta ciudad y, por ello, el
cuerpo del trabajo se centra en todos los monumentos y lugares que hay que
visitar en Medina Sidonia. Aqu aparecen subapartados de gran importancia como
son el Patrimonio Arquitectnico, Etnogrfico y Arqueolgico, los Espacios
Culturales y Naturales y las Rutas ya predeterminadas que se pueden realizar en
Medina Sidonia y sus alrededores. Si bien este apartado s lo he traducido, la
forma de estructurarlo es diferente a la que aparece en la pgina en espaol.
Una vez explicados los apartados que aparecen en el texto original de la pgina
web en espaol, procedo a explicar aquellos que han sido traducidos, aunque no
entrar en grandes detalles puesto que mi trabajo consiste en describir cada uno de
los apartados aqu abajo sealados.
Geographical location: encontraremos toda la informacin relativa a la ubicacin
geogrfica de Medina Sidonia, su situacin dentro de la comarca y los pueblos
que hay alrededor. Sin embargo, en el texto original viene detallada informacin
sobre la orografa y la latitud por ejemplo que, a mi parecer, son datos demasiado
especficos y concretos, teniendo en cuenta que la traduccin se hace para un
pblico extranjero, por lo que he considerado no traducirlo.
History and Heritage: esta parte como tal no est dentro del apartado de Turismo
de la pgina web de Medina Sidonia, sino dentro de otra seccin referida al pueblo
en general. Pero me parece que es un tema bastante importante, y por eso he
querido hacer un resumen de la historia del pueblo en unas cuantas lneas que
muestran su grandeza, su patrimonio y por qu merece la pena visitarlo.
What to visit: aqu estn descritos todos los lugares y monumentos ms
importantes de Medina Sidonia, es decir, solo el Patrimonio Arquitectnico. Como
he dicho antes, la pgina en espaol contiene una informacin ms diversa dentro
de este apartado pero en la traduccin he variado la estructura ya que, en mi
opinin, dentro de la seccin Qu visitar merece destacar ese Patrimonio
-5-
Arquitectnico y dejar los Espacios Culturales, los Espacios Naturales y las Rutas
en apartados diferentes, ya que tambin son importantes y as, al estar en
secciones separadas llamarn ms la atencin que si estn incluidas dentro de la
misma.
Special Locations for Cultural Events: en esta seccin podemos encontrar
informacin sobre la direccin, email, nmero de telfono y pgina web de los
espacios culturales del pueblo como son el Archivo Histrico Municipal, la
Biblioteca Pblica Municipal, las Caballerizas del Duque que actualmente se
utilizan como saln de actos y exposiciones, el Museo Arqueolgico Municipal, el
Museo Etnogrfico y el Teatro Municipal Miguel Mihura lvarez.
Los Alcornocales Nature Park: esta parte seran los Espacios Naturales de los que
se habla en el texto original, sin embargo, despus de hacer la lectura de la
pgina, me di cuenta de que dentro de este apartado de Espacios Naturales solo
se menciona el Parque Natural de los Alcornocales. Por esto decid dedicar una
seccin aparte, aunque no he traducido cierta informacin porque ya existe una
pgina web sobre el parque traducida a varios idiomas entre los que se encuentra
el ingls.
Routes: dentro de ese apartado se mencionan las cinco rutas que ya estn
diseadas. No estn descritas al detalle porque repiten, en algunos casos, los
monumentos ya explicados en la seccin Qu visitar.
Festivities: esta parte de las fiestas populares est traducida tal y como se
encuentra en el texto original, solo quitando dos de ellas que son la Romera de
San Isidro y la Fiesta de San Fermn. Quizs en otras ciudades estas fiestas s
son importantes pero, habiendo vivido en Medina Sidonia durante tantos aos, s
que nunca han sido de gran atractivo para la mayora de la poblacin y, por tanto,
considero que tampoco lo sern para los turistas extranjeros que visiten el pueblo.
Gastronomy and Confectionery: dentro de la seccin de gastronoma y repostera
hablamos principalmente de las tapas, aperitivos, guisos, carnes, pescados y,
sobre todo, del alfajor de Medina Sidonia, entre otros ricos productos que se
pueden degustar en todos los restaurantes y bares y comprar en las mltiples
confiteras del pueblo.
Tourist Information Office: tal y como est escrito en el texto original, est
traducido al ingls, puesto que contiene informacin clara y concreta sobre la
direccin de la Oficina de Turismo, el nmero de telfono y un email de contacto.
Para terminar, una vez finalizada la traduccin de la pgina web, he podido crear un
amplio glosario bilinge con gran cantidad de trminos que han ido apareciendo a lo
largo de todo este trabajo, y que pueden servir de ayuda para buscar palabras clave
de este texto que son complicadas, o de temas como historia o arqueologa que no
son muy comunes en el vocabulario del da a da.

TEXTOS TRADUCIDOS
3.1. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

The municipality of Medina Sidonia is located in the province of Cdiz and bordering on
the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Paterna de Rivera, Alcal de los Gazules, BenalupCasas Viejas, Los Barrios, Tarifa, Vejer de la Frontera, Chiclana de la Frontera and
Puerto Real.
This municipality has two main clusters of population: Malcocinado-Badalejos and
the city of Medina Sidonia and in 2009 it had 11,683 inhabitants.
Medina Sidonia is located in the heart of Laguna de la Janda region, one of the most
important natural areas in the Iberian Peninsula, because of its size and its ecological
value. La Janda region is located in the middle west of Cdiz province. To the south, it
borders the Atlantic Ocean and to the north-east it borders the province of Mlaga.
Medina Sidonia is located in the geographical centre of the Cdiz province, 46km.
away from the capital of the same name and 34km. from Jerez de la Frontera.
The highest point is 339 metres above sea level and is called Cerro del Castillo. For
this reason, it can be seen from most of the towns in the province, offering an
extraordinary panoramic view of Cdiz province.

3.2. HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Medina Sidonia is a 3000-year-old city, awarded with the Prize for the Embellishment
of Andalusian Villages and declared Historic and Artistic Site and Place of Cultural
Interest in 2001.
Visiting Medina Sidonia is like taking a stroll through history, finding and knowing the
remains and traces of the different civilisations that are part of the historical memory
and legacy of the city.
-7-
It is well-known for its beautiful whitewashed houses, its barred balconies and
windows, its prized and delicious handmade sweets and rich cuisine. Medina Sidonia is
one of the most historical and monumental cities in the province of Cdiz.
Due to its location as strategic enclave, it has played an important role in the history
of the region.
3.3. PLACES TO VISIT
3.3.1. ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE
a) Archaeological site Cerro del Castillo (Conjunto Arqueolgico Cerro del
Castillo)
The Castle of Medina Sidonia is located on the top of the hill, called Cerro del Castillo,
which is being excavated now.
There are three superimposed fortifications. The archaeological intervention that has
been done in this area, show three superimposed fortifications: remains of the Roman
military castellum, ruins of the Arab fortress and traces of a medieval castle.
Vestiges of the Bronze Age
There are many material remains in this Historical and Archaeological Site including
handmade ceramics, some fragments of amphorae and polished, carved lithic works
belonging to the Final Bronze Era, which are traces of human existence on the hilltop
of the current city of Medina Sidonia.
Roman military castellum
Since the arriving of Romans, or a bit later, it is believed that the construction of this
military castellum started. Most part of its walled perimeter has been unearthed and the
wall is 2 metres high in some points.
This Roman castellum was still used during the height of the Roman Empire,
although its function was more symbolic than real, and became a reflection of the
power of Rome in this territory. It is the only reference of these characteristics in Spain.
The Arab fortress
In the 11th century, the Almoravids built a new castle at the same level as the
ancient one. Some sections still in situ and several parts of the wall fallen on the
outside of the fortress have been documented.
Medieval castle
The building of a new castle started in the middle of the 15 th century, by the first
Duke of Medina Sidonia, who wanted to improve the city defence.

b) The Roman road (La Calzada Romana)

Over the centuries, a large amount of archaeological remains have been found in
Medina Sidonia. The city was built on the hill more than two thousand years ago and
was called Asido-Caesarina.
Recent excavations due to public works reveal that the Roman city achieved an
extraordinary urban glory and show the true extent of the ancient city. A great example
is a stretch of a Roman road discovered in 1997, which runs four metres below lamo
Street level.
It was built with large stone slabs; it comprises two pavements and a five metres
wide road allowing two vehicles to get through.
Along the central line of the street, under the flagstone pavement, there is a sewer
which is nearly a metre high. This sewer channeled rainwater and local sewage from
buildings and fountains from the city.
A pair of game boards has also been found engraved on the slabs of one of the
pavements. Both Roman children and adults were keen on these games.
The enhancement of this place not only has been an important step to the historical
and urbanistic knowledge of the ancient Medina Sidonia, but has also become a
cultural space that can be enjoyed by all.
Figura 3.3. La Calzada Romana

-9-
c) The Roman archaeological site (Conjunto Arqueolgico Romano)

Opening times: from 10.30am to 14.00pm / from 17.30pm to 19.30pm
They are hydraulic constructions from the 1st C.A.D., with a total of 20 metres of
underground galleries, which worked as a sewage system in Roman times. That shows
the level of urbanization of the city Asido-Caesarina.
They were discovered in 1969 and were emptied and finally abandoned. It was not
until 1991 when the investigation and the enhancement of this place started.
There are three different structures: sewers, Roman rooms and cryptoporticus. The
main sewers are located on the city outskirts, where all smaller sewers run into.
Figura 3.4. Conjunto Arqueolgico Romano

3.3.2. ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

a) Santa Mara la Mayor la Coronada church (Iglesia Santa Mara la Mayor la
Coronada)
Summer opening times: from 11.00am to 14.00pm / from 17.00pm to 20.00pm
Telephone: +34 956410329 / Entrance fee: 25
It is a Gothic-Renaissance temple from the 16th century, with a tower finished in the
17th century. The altarpiece is an authentic jewel, as well as a carved image of the
Christ of Forgiveness (Cristo del Perdn) from 1679, by Pedro Roldn.
It was declared Historic-Artistic Monument, listed as a Property of Cultural Interest in
1931.
It is a Gothic-Plateresque Andalusian style building from the first half of the 16th
century. Some parts were built over the ancient mosque.
The temple has three naves and it has a Latin cross plan.
The church has three entrances, two outside entrances (the main faade and the
church door) and another indoor through the cloister. The oldest faade is the one in
the castle, which is not in use because of a fire nowadays, but it had a great
importance in earlier times. It was the door through which the Dukes of Medina Sidonia
came to take possession of the city.
The main altarpiece is Plateresque style. It is composed of 22 histories. It is 15
metres high and 680 metres wide and it has 168 images, 80 of them are full-length.
-10-
This altarpiece has 40 columns that hold the different stories. In 1774, while the own
organist of the church was trying to clean it, he darkened the ancient gilding. It took 31
years to build it and the works started in 1553.
Nave of the Epistle or Conception (Nave de la Epstola o de la Concepcin). The
ground level on the outside reaches just below the window. Most of the wall is under
the ground.
The altar was built after 1766 and is gimmicky Rococo style. The paintings on agate
and marble are Italian. The other six paintings are of different styles and sizes.
The Last Supper (Santa Cena) is a Roque Baldulque work, one of the authors of the
altarpiece. It is from 1554 and is Gothic style.
The castle door was used to be opened for solemn functions like the investiture of
the Dukes of Medina Sidonia and visits of the bishop. This door was accidentally
burned by some children in the summer of 1981.
The chorus is Baroque style and it is composed by a set of chairs of cedar and
mahogany. It dates from 1732 and is a work made by Juan de Gtica.
Figura 3.5. Iglesia Santa Mara la Mayor la Coronada

b) Santiago church (Iglesia de Santiago)

It was built in the early 16th century, outstanding for its Mudejar coffering; Santiago el
Mayor is the Patron Saint of the city and Spains Patron.
The original chapel was in the suburbs. It was built beyond the city walls. Its origins
date from 1384 and it blends an Andalusian-Mudejar style with an early Gothic style. It
has a rectangular ground plan and is composed of three naves with pointed double
arcades that rest on robust columns.
-11-
Figura 3.6. Iglesia de Santiago

c) Victoria church (Iglesia de la Victoria)

17th and 18th century, church and convent
Between 1676 and 1709, the priests Mnimos de la Victoria refurbished the church
and the convent, adding even a brick tower that was finished in 1703 in La plaza de la
Cruz, where it is nowadays.
After the Victorios had left, the convent became a school and houses for the
teachers in the middle of the 19th century. Finally, it turned into a private property.
The church was burned in 1873 and reopened for the religious cult in 1875.
The church has three naves and a large dome. The central nave is covered by
barrel vaults with lunettes. The first floor has galleries and a choir.
It is thought that the images are works by Martnez Montas. The main altarpiece with
the image of Virgin Victory (Virgen de la Victoria), it could be from the school of Pedro
de Ribera.
Figura 3.7. Iglesia de la Victoria

-12-
d) San Juan de Dios church (Iglesia San Juan de Dios)

The church is settled over the land of an ancient chapel, where the plague-ridden
cemetery was located, beyond the city walls.
In 1650, the priests founded a hospital there, which was finished in the early 18th
century. This hospital was the most important hospital in the region. Nowadays, the
main courtyard and the church are still preserved.
The church, as we see it today, was the last part to be built. It is an ensemble
dedicated to the conventual life, with a cloister and rooms that took in sick, and the
church. It has an open floor and a single nave. It is also covered by a barrel vault with
lunettes and a beautiful dome, which take up almost the half of the church. There are
four chapels in the transept and two niches on the side walls.
The main altar has a Baroque altarpiece made of golden wood.
Chapels:
Chapel of Santsimo: located in the first chapel of the transept to the right of the
main altar. It has an altarpiece and a sanctuary, all made of marble and jasper
with Doric pilasters. It dates from the early 17th century.
Chapel of la Dolorosa: located in the first chapel of the transept to the left of the
main altar. It has an altarpiece that dates from the late 18th century, made of
cedar and mahogany.
Chapel of Santsimo Cristo de la Reconciliacin: located in the second chapel of

the transept to the right of the main altar. It is what remains of the original chapel
from the 16th century and which was integrated in the church when it was built in
1689.
The sacristy is rectangular, covered by a barrel vault with lunettes. It has a drawer
chest made of pine with a mahogany cover. This work was made by Alonso Cano.

e) Chapel of Santos Mrtires (Ermita de los Santos Mrtires)

The Chapel of Santos Mrtires is from the Visigothic period and it is the oldest chapel
of Andalusia; it dates from the 403 a.C. It is situated on the outskirts of Medina Sidonia,
surrounded by vegetation.
This chapel was a former Roman house that belonged to a Roman patrician called
Lepero. The house had several rooms; one of them communicated with a tower. This
tower was built in different ages: the base is Roman and the top is from the Arab
period.
The Christian chapel, 630 a.C. The chapel was rebuilt and blessed by the bishop of
Assido Pimenio, on the 16th December, 630. We know about this date because it is
written on a gravestone that is used as the threshold of the current door of the sacristy.
Note the inscription of Lepero, which says Lepero re vonit sed sacrv, that means
Lepero renovated it and offered it to God. It was carved on a Roman pedestal that
was used to form the second column of the church. In the door columns and the choir,
we find Roman and Corinthian capitals.
Figura 3.9. Ermita de los Santos Mrtires

f) Beln arch (Arco de Beln)

It is also known as Puerta de Beln. It takes you to the heart of the medieval village
next to some stretches of the old wall, a fortified tower and the Stables of the Duke
(Caballerizas del Duque).
This is another gateway to the walled enclosure, whose name was Gypsy Arch
(Arco de los Gitanos) in the 18th century.
Its current name comes from the altar situated at the internal top part that gives
shelter to an image of Mara Santsima de Beln, which was in the Agustinas chorus of
Saint Christopher Convent (Convento San Cristbal) in 1860.
-14-
Figura 3.10. Arco de Beln

g) La Pastora arch (Arco de la Pastora)

It is an Arabic gate in the purest Muslim style, with a horseshoe arch and a grand
stairway. It dates from the 10th century.
This is one of the gateways to the walled enclosure and the most representative
symbol of Medina Sidonia. Its construction dates from the Caliphate period, around the
10th century. It has two pointed horseshoe arches and one of them rests over columns
that belonged to the Hrcules temple (Templo de Hrcules). The ensemble is made of
ashlar stones that were found in the municipality.
There is a watchtower on a side of this entrance. There is a stepped street to save
the different levels between one side of the arch and the other one.
The oldest name was Puerta de la Salada, which was the same name of a nearby
fountain. The name Arco de la Pastora by which is known now, comes from an image
that is still preserved in a niche on one of the inner sides of the arch.
It was refurbished recently.
Figura 3.11. Arco de la Pastora

-15-
Figura 3.12. Arco de la Pastora reformado

h) Sun door (Puerta del Sol)

It is one of the three gateways to the walled enclosure.
It is known like this because it was built in the east, where the sun rises every
morning.
We know about the renovation of the walls and gates of the village at various
periods.
Figura 3.13. Puerta del Sol

i)
Town Hall (Ayuntamiento)
It is a building from the 17th century in the Mannerist style and its author is Andrs
Crdenas. Here we can find the Municipal Historical Archive.
In 1673 the building works started. It is Baroque; the entrance portico has arches
resting on columns in the lower section.
The second floor is neoclassical. In the main front, it has a balcony that goes from
end to end and windows crowned with triangular pediments, separated by pilasters.
The top floor is a work from the 19th century, where the windows are separated in
the same way than in the second floor.
The building is crowned with the coat of arms of the city in stone and the clock.
-16-
An annex building has been refurbished as the new Town Hall, where we can find
the Municipal Archive, leaving the building from the 18th century for plenary sessions
and ceremonial events.
Figura 3.14. Ayuntamiento

j)
La Alameda square (La Alameda)
It is located in Plaza de Espaa and it was named like this for the existence of poplars
surrounding the square.
The first historical reference dates from the 16th century. Although we can say that,
during the Roman Empire, the city forum could be in the same place where the
Alameda is nowadays.
After the arrival of Islam, the city was located inside the walls. The Roman city
outside the town was abandoned.
In the 18th century, it was known as Plaza de la Muela. They made an enclosed
area, where the only access was through the Town Hall arch and another similar arch
that connected the square with a street, which correspond to the current San Juan
Street.
Between 1837 and 1868, the Alameda suffered important refurbishments in order to
adapt it to its new function as a recreational area.
It had different names between the 19th and 20th centuries.
Figura 3.15. La Alameda

-17-
k) Food Market (Plaza de Abastos)

It dates from 1871. It has a structure of porticoes and a certain Mudejar-Plateresque
style that reminds of a main square.
What can you buy in a Plaza de Abastos? It is a food market so there, you can find
all kind of perishable food like meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. Other shops sell bread,
dairy products, flowers, foodstuffs in general and also handmade products or
souvenirs. As you see, there is everything in one place!
The work started in 1871 and finished in 1876. It was built over the vegetable
garden of the Saint Christopher Convent and thanks to the bishop of Cdiz Arriete y
Llanos.
It is located between San Juan Street and Varos Street and it has two accesses,
one in each street.
It was refurbished recently.
Figura 3.16. Plaza de Abastos

l)
Stables of the Duke (Caballerizas del Duque)
It dates from the 16th century. After being restored, they are used as an assembly and
exhibitions hall.
These stables have a single nave with stone walls, a half-barrel vaulted brick ceiling,
one door and several windows.
Since the 16th century, they have had different uses like a headquarter of the Royal
Garrison and surveillance of contraband, a playhouse in the 18th century and a cockpit.
It is made known in writing as a property of the Ducal House by the end of the 19th
century. Then, it was bought by the resident Juan Ortega Olmo and finally, he sold it to
the Town Hall in 1938. It was restored in 1994.
-18-
Figura 3.17. Caballerizas del Duque

m) Saint Christopher Convent (Convento San Cristbal)

Everyone knows it like Monjas de Abajo and it has an excellent bakery.
The church is small because its bigger space is reserved for a nuns choir. It has a
single nave widened in the transept, with a dome over arches and pendentives. The
other part is covered by a barrel vault with lunettes. The convent is located around a
squared courtyard.
It is a Baroque work, like the altars with wreathed columns.
Figura 3.18. Convento San Cristbal

n) Jess, Mara and Jos Convent (Convento Jess, Mara y Jos)

It is known as Convento de las Descalzas or Monjas de Arriba and it was founded in
1867. It is a circular temple that took in the famous Simi la Hebrea, who was a
converted Jew that arrived from Gibraltar to serve the Christian God.
-19-
The first stone of the convent was put on May 31st 1688.
The works were conducted by master architect Juan Bautista de la Rica, from
Medina Sidonia. The church has an octagonal plan and forms two rectangular spaces.
The altarpiece in the main chapel is a work made by the artists Juan Batista
Severiano and Francisco Bartolom and it is from the 17th century. It is divided into two
main horizontal parts and three vertical streets, formed by wreathed columns.
The dome decorations are worthy of mentions, being decorated by the
representation of the Coronacin de Nuestra Seora painted in oil. It has an elliptical
shape and rest over eight pendentives. The rest is decorated with frescos from the 18th
century.

3.3.3. ETHNOGRAPHIC HERITAGE

Among the actions carried out by the City Council of Medina Sidonia on Cultural
Heritage, a preferred action around the Ethnographic Heritage is established. Its
objectives are the recovery, conservation, protection, enhancement and dissemination
of the goods comprising our newest Cultural Heritage.
There is a project of an Ethnographic Museum, whose main purpose is to show and
disseminate the way of life, customs, traditions and the economy of the inhabitants of
Medina Sidonia and its surroundings in the last few centuries.
In recent years, the Town Hall has been collecting objects, some of them have been
acquired and others donated. These materials are different pieces related to farming
activities as the main axis of traditional economy in the area.
The current document collection also has an important collection of furniture and
basic tools related to domestic sphere.
3.3.4. DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE
The document collection of the Municipal Historical Archive is a source of pride for all
the people in Medina Sidonia. This document collection has been preserved over the
centuries and is an authentic paper treasure, which is jealously guarded in the Town
Hall.
The Municipal Historical Archive of Medina Sidonia was originally located in a room
set up for it in the Town Hall, in 1846.
-20-
It is considered one of the best local archives for the modern and contemporary
ages. This is because of the volume and quality of the documentation, as well as its
excellent state of preservation.
It was expected that the Archive would be moved to the new facilities of the Town
Hall, but they were being restored.
In 1994, once the works of restoring were finished, the orderly move of part of the
documentation preserved in the Archive to the new facilities started. These facilities
were prepared for the deposit of such a rich documental legacy and, of course ready
for consults, studies and dissemination.
After the ordering and placing of all the historical documentation, the Municipal
Historical Archive was permanently located there. This Archive holds the most ancient
documentation still preserved in the document collection of the municipality. This is
around 45% of the total (900 files of the 2,000 existing).
Currently, this document collection is being digitalized.

3.8. GASTRONOMY AND CONFECTIONERY
Our well-deserved fame, not only for the excellent pastries but also for the great variety
of dishes that are still cooked these days, have turned Medina Sidonia into a
gastronomic reference in the province and even beyond. These dishes are offered in
our bars, restaurants and inns, following the recipes that have passed from mothers to
daughters and linked to the exquisite basic ingredients of our municipality.
a) Tapas (Tapas)
The tapas and aperitivos (snacks) are a deeply rooted tradition in Medina Sidonia and
Andalusia. These are small pieces of some delicacy of the area and suitable for white
or red wine, beer or very cold Jerez wines.
The word tapa means cover and has its origin in slices of bread that the tavern
landlord put over the glass of wine to preserve it from flies and dust between sips.
Then, someone had the idea to put something appetising over that slice of bread,
giving rise to the tapas.
b) Snacks (Aperitivos)
Aperitivos like good cold cuts (chacinas or embutidos) of our area, olives or some great
tapas of delicious meat stews, fishes like pescato frito, snails, roasted peppers and
more tapas are typical of our bars.
-27-
c) Stews (Guisos)
The gastronomic history of Medina Sidonia is full of flavor. There are many bars and
restaurants in the town where you can enjoy the excellent stews that have as main
ingredients some of the wild products cultivated in our fields. You will be satisfied with a
cabbage stew, a puchero (a stew with noodles or rice, meat, vegetables and fat), a
tagarninas stew (which is a kind of wild asparagus), an artichokes stew and a stew of
asparagus with rice among others.
d) Meat (Carne)
When we talk about meat in the asidonense gastronomy, the variety of dishes is
enormous because of the wide range of products and also because of the nuances that
each restaurant gives to their dishes. In this way, we highlight the following products
cooked in different ways:
Game meat: rabbit, hare, deer, partridge bird, wild boar
Poultry: chicken, turkey, duck, pheasant
Pork products: cracklings, sirloins, cutlets, chops
Bovine: retinto meat, oxtail, veal, beef
e) Local nails (Caracoles de nuestra tierra)

They have a special consideration in the whole province thanks to its quality. This
delicacy is a seasonal product.
f) Seafood (Pescado y marisco)

Medina Sidonia is located close to the coastline towns of the province of Cdiz and the
seafood, the white and oily fish, clams, mussels and calamari, occupy an extraordinary
place in the gastronomy of the town.
g) And, what about desserts? (Y los postres?)

Medina Sidonia is a reference in confectionery from time immemorial. The aroma that
comes from its bakeries spread throughout the whole town, where homemade tradition
is kept since the Arab times, force the visitors to buy delicious pastries and sweets.
There is a great variety of products that you can eat at all times of the year,
excepting mantecados and polvorones, which are typical Christmas sweets.
You can taste the exquisite tortas pardas (made with an almond paste filled with
squash jam and it has the form of a small basket), the delicious amarguillos (like a
marzipan with bitter almond and sugar), pionates (whose main ingredient is the pine
nut), yemas (made with egg yolk and sugar), pastries and the most famous asidonense
sweet that is the alfajor.
The alfajor of Medina Sidonia is a traditional Arabic sweet, which dates many
centuries back and has a recipe that has been passed from generation to generation. It
was originally called alaj that comes from the Arabic word al-has, which means
filling. Nowadays it is still called like this.
The production of the alfajor
Its ingredients are all natural: pure honey, almonds, hazelnuts, flour, bread crumbs
and spices like coriander, clove, aniseed, sesame and cinnamon.
-28-
Its elaboration is entirely handmade and the old Arabic recipe is still used.
Alfajor de Medina Sidonia is a Protected Geographical Indication (Indicacin
Geogrfica Protegida). The Association of Producers of the Alfajor de Medina Sidonia
requested the recognition as Protected Geographical Indication in order to protect and
promote this product. Its regulations were approved by the Andalusian Regional
Government in 2004. Its recognition as Protected Geographical Indication reflects the
singularity of the product, protecting its name from possible imitations. Currently, there
are three confectionery companies that make Alfajor de Medina Sidonia.

CAPTULO 4
CONCLUSIONES
Despus de todo el trabajo realizado, es importante hacer un balance sobre los
objetivos marcados y los conseguidos. Analizando los objetivos marcados a nivel
acadmico sobre este Trabajo Fin de Grado, podemos concluir que:
Se ha realizado una traduccin minuciosa y completa de una pgina web de un

importante enclave turstico como es el municipio de Medina Sidonia, supliendo
una carencia esencial que impeda la expansin internacional a nivel turstico de la
localidad.
Como ya sabemos, se han eliminado contenidos de la web que hemos
considerado irrelevantes para poder ofrecer al internauta extranjero una
experiencia grata y crearle un sentimiento de pertenencia a la localidad, y para
ello he tenido que visitar diferentes pginas web con enfoques tursticos para que,
entre todo lo observado, se hiciera de la pgina de Medina Sidonia una web con
contenidos sencillos, relevantes, llamativos y de gran utilidad para el turista.
Gracias al exhaustivo trabajo de traduccin, se ha podido crear un banco de datos
o glosario bilinge en el que se recogen todas las fichas terminolgicas con las
palabras y frases que han ido apareciendo durante este trabajo, y que pueden
servir como guin para un futuro trabajo de traduccin, ya que los trminos
abarcan campos tan amplios como la historia, la arquitectura y/o la gastronoma.
As pues, en el mbito ms profesional de este Trabajo Fin de Grado, concluimos

que:
Se ha realizado un trabajo sumamente importante y de gran utilidad para el
Consistorio asidonense, habiendo iniciado contactos para que el proyecto sea
realidad en el corto/medio plazo.
Una vez que esta traduccin est volcada en la web, se abrir para Medina
Sidonia un mercado potencial de agencias tursticas y turistas independientes que
vern en el pueblo un sitio perfecto para pasar unas vacaciones, pues
entendemos que un paso primordial en la eleccin de un turista es la sensacin de
libertad que tendr al entrar en la pgina web y vea que est escrita en un idioma
internacional por excelencia.
Los negocios del municipio tomarn ejemplo de esta iniciativa e iniciarn una
andadura para adaptar al ingls sus servicios y/o productos.
Los investigadores extranjeros se vern atrados por los documentos traducidos, y
marcarn Medina Sidonia como un sitio donde ejercer su labor arqueolgica de la
forma ms cmoda posible.
Por ltimo, y no por ello menos importante, he de mencionar que ante todo, este
Trabajo es fruto de una idea que he ido madurando con el tiempo y que estoy
orgullosa y agradecida de poder haberla plasmado de diversas formas: ofreciendo un
servicio a la ciudad que me ha visto crecer, aplicando todos los conocimientos
adquiridos durante mi formacin acadmica, y aprendiendo de cada segundo que le he
dedicado a este proyecto. De este modo, tengo que agradecer de forma explcita la
inestimable ayuda del Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Medina Sidonia y, en especial, a su
alcalde D. Manuel Fernando Macas Herrera, quien desde que conoci este trabajo
mantuvo contacto conmigo y me otorg libertad mxima para realizarlo.
