Echoes from past


Paco photographed in front of Ermita de San Miquel outside Villatuerta.  Paco told me that these ermitas, small chapels, can be found outside most Spanish towns. They are usually dedicated to some local saint. On a day of the saint villagers walk to the chapel to celebrate him or her (see the white tables outside the chapel). The happening is called Romeria, "a small pilgrimage", after Romero, originally a pilgrim to Rome.
