THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PRIZE (VIII)

I AM BACK HOME AFTER EASTER HOLIDAYS WHICH GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO VISIT, AFTER 25 YEARS, ONE BEAUTIFUL CITY...WHICH ONE? WHAT IS THE SECRET PLACE IN THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN SOME DAYS AGO? WHAT OTHER TWO CITIES IN EUROPE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON? WHAT IS IT?

TO HELP YOU FINDING THE CITY, HERE YOU HAVE SOME HINTS!

* The city dates back at least to the 10th century.
* Its first Latin name meant literally, "a gathering place or preserve of birds."
* One terrible storm in winter one year in the 16th century, closed the entrance to its port and ,the same storm, also created a reef barrier at the Atlantic Ocean.

DO YOU NEED MORE HELP?

CONGRATULATIONS SARA P. AND MARTIN...YOU ARE THE WINNERS THIS TIME...

"THE SECRET PLACE, THE SECRET PRIZE" (VI)

HI EVERYBODY! THIS TIME I HAVE CHOSEN THREE SECRET PLACES TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE. THEY ARE RELATED TO PLACES WHERE SOMEONE WAS BORN OR LIVED IN, OR WHERE THAT PERSON DEVELOPED MOST OF HIS JOB...THE PERSON IS CONSIDERED THE CREATOR OF A NONCOMPETITIVE SELF-DEFENCE SYSTEM.
THE NAME OF THIS SELF DEFENCE SYSTEM MEANS IN HEBREW "HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT" AND THE TWO NAMES OF THIS SYSTEM MEANS "BATTLE" AND "CONTACT".
TO WIN THIS WEEK EXTRA POINT YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NAME OF THE THREE CITIES AND COUNTRIES RELATED WITH THIS PERSON LIFE, HIS NAME AND FAMILY NAME AND THE TWO NAMES THAT MAKE UP THIS SELF-DEFENCE SYSTEM...AND FINALLY WHY HE DECIDED TO CARRY OUT THIS NEW WAY OF SELF-DEFENCE.

ARE YOU READY?
....3...2...1...IGNITION!!!!
