Ribas and San Cebrián

In the beginning of June, Inés and a group of music lovers went to Ribas de Campos and San Cebrián.

In the church of Ribas there is typical Spanish Organ. 

Firstly Ines gave us interesting information about  these organs and their mechanism to produce a great variety of sounds, then she played different musical compositions  and finally we could touch  its keys and manipulate its controls. It was amazing.

In our way to San Cebrián we stopped in the “Canal de Castilla” to admire the canal locks and listen to the sound of these artificial waterfalls

Who said that Castilla is dry and brown?

We also were very surprised by the huge and beautiful church San Cebrián has.

Astudillo and Melgar de Yuso

I'm a walking disaster. I haven't writtren anything for the last two years. Even worse, I have forgotten  almost all I had learnt about blogs, so I need to start again in spite of my age. I'll try it.

Last Sunday I ejoyed both Segovia and "Titirimundi"

Diego, straighten your back, please!

"Where the sun rises"

Two weeks ago, on a beautiful sunny Sunday, I met some of my students in Torre (Astudillo) . Hundreds of people went up the hill to celebrate their patron Vierge.

Guillermo is a good horseman

Most of the pilgrims come on foot, or by car. Only a few ones do the journey riding their horses. There was a horse market in the middle of the hill but, unfortunately, this tradition is dissaperaring nowadays.

After the Mass everybody recieves a cheese-onion-bread sandwich. Here they don't throw the sandwiches to the people as in Cristo del Otero. They put them on your hands. These people from the villages are less savage than those from the capital.

In Melgar de Yuso, Ivan showed me his farm. There were chickens, hens, cocks, donkeys, horses (stalions and mares).
Then we had a coffee in the bar opposite the Town Hall.
