Malpais

From Free net encyclopedia

In Spanish, Malpais means badland.

1. The Carrizozo Malpais is a large lava flow near the Jornada del Muerto.
2. El Malpais National Monument, in New Mexico, is west of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
3. A beach on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, which is also the namesake of a short story by S.K. Azoulay.
4. Very popular band from Costa Rica. The musicians of Malpaís perhaps best exemplify the “new sound” of Costa Rica – contemporary compositions that build on the solid tradition of their musical roots. The group takes its name from the most remote, jungle-cradled beach on the north-Pacific Nicoya Peninsula – the beach at road’s end.
