Of Wheatfields and Old Churches
Hi, everyone and I´m back! :)
We went to León and Oviedo over the weekend. León is a province of Castille and Leon while Oviedo is the capital of the Asturias region and is the birthplace of the gorgeous Princess Letizia (wife of Prince Felipe of Spain).
The road trip was a blast and along the way we stopped by this wheatfield near Valladolid to take a photo of the ripe wheat ready for harvesting. I would´ve loved to wade through a sea of ¨wheat stalks¨ for a better shot but they pinch my skin so I stopped right then and there where the stalks start growing. hehehe!
Then we stopped by Frómista( in Palencia) to see the Iglesia(Church) of San Martín, an 11th century well-preserved Roman Church. Imagine that! This is a favorite stopover for tourists and for pilgrims on the way to St. James in Compostela.The churches in this town are surrounded by swallows. I love it! Here´s another church that we found in this town. It´s relatively new, it was built in the 15th century.
The Church of San Pedro. Below is a close-up of the left portion of the church. Storks on top and swallows flying around. It was a beautifl sight to see. :)
Wearing:
Panama hat- Zara Men
top- Zara
cut-off jeans- Guess
bag, sunglasses- H&M
I always wear something casual and very comfortable when I travel because there´d be lots of climbing and walking around. Flipflops? Yes, they´re part of my summer trip staples too. I know they´re so unfashionable but they´ve got good grip and it´s too hot to wear ballerina flats and I sometimes slip when wearing my sandals.
I have lots of things to tell you. This is just the beginning, we´re not even in León yet. Stay tuned! ;)
Hope you had an exciting weekend!
Hugs,
Che

You'll be not too surprised to know that my new post has photos of the inside of a church, but it's not me in those photos this time. That would've been another coincidence. :)
