Our visit to Spain and Portugal was coming to an end. In less than a week, we'd be boarding a plane back to the US. The last few days saw us galloping across central Spain toward the Pyrenees, turning right at Aragon, and then into the Catalonian mountains to see the Romanesque churches whose murals feature very prominently at the national museum in Barcelona. The heat was pretty relentless, the shade pretty sparse, so we mostly just kept going...

World Heritage Site, Fromista (pretty much anything on the Camino is; as we saw in France) |

Thank you, Rotarians |
|
Hundreds of kilometers from Santiago |
|
The signage can appear almost anywhere |
|
We stayed at the aire in Fromista, which is part of the municipal recreation complex, and which includes the local fronton |
|
Miles down the road, now in Aragon, I think, another Roman villa |
|
The birds circled above; "look alive!" |
|
What was really interesting, however, was the gorge that opens out to this spot |

Hill top town |
