first thing we notice is its decoration, with elaborate carvings and corbels, it seems, Romanesque, not "home" much to the date of 1873 inscribed on his website. Where do you come from?

is curious conversion of the ruins of Santa Maria in makeshift "museum of outdoor sculpture." At least indicates that the locals care about them, though it seems that this will serve to curb the destruction of the building.

also worth visiting in Padilla de Arriba parish church of San Andrés, with good hooks in the windows of the apse solid.
