This cart is on a hilltop
overlooking the village.
This small Spanish
village in Cantabria has managed to preserve ancestral houses and
buildings dating back to the 7th century Surrounding the village is a
panorama of hills.
The 8 pm Sunday
Mass at the town church (in Spanish, of course) was very solemn. It was
very dark inside, like a theatre stage. There was just enough light at
the altar for the priest, who spoke with fire and emotion. From
the back of the church sang, a choir broke the silence with a solemn
communion hymn, a capella. It was as if angels were singing in the dark.
Many stone houses in the
village date back to the 14th century.
