RE: [ENG-SPN] Sacred architecture on the Silver Road / Arquitectura sagrada en el Camino de la Plata

The monastery is a beautiful piece of architecture. I wonder why they allowed it to fall into disrepair, though it looks like it is over a century old. Thanks for sharing.

In Spain we have always suffered from this detachment towards our historical, artistic and cultural heritage. Unfortunately, we woke up late. So late that many of our most incredible wonders have been ruined or, what is worse, have been sold to other countries, which, paradoxically, have known how to appreciate them much more than those who only considered them old stones. That is why my desire to show and defend, as far as possible, that rich heritage that we still have and of which I, in particular, feel grateful and proud.
