Hola querido hiver.
Para combatir el día nublado y desapacible que tenemos hoy en Zaragoza he viajado virtualmente al pasado verano cuando estuve de vacaciones en el Principado de Andorra. Me apetecía volver a sentir los rayos de sol que aquel día nos hicieron sudar.
Rayos que caían a plomo cuando dimos este paseo, pues era la hora del mediodía. Me había propuesto fotografiar la Iglesia de San Esteban de Andorra la Vella, un templo románico del siglo XII al que le han realizado bastantes modificaciones.
La iglesia está junto a una rambla llena de vegetación. Las montañas al fondo completan una imagen digna de postal.
El día que estuvimos se celebraba el pregón de las fiestas de la localidad. En los alrededores de la iglesia había puestos de artesanía y estábamos curioseando entre ellos cuando escuchamos una música que nos atrajo...
Cruzando la pasarela se abría una explanada. En un kiosco de música tocaba una orquesta. El ritmo era familiar, pues se trataba de una sardana. Es un baile típico de la zona que se baila en círculos.
No había demasiada animación, este era el único grupo que bailaba. Cuando terminó la canción regresamos hacia la iglesia. Temí que no se pudiera entrar por ser festivo.
Por suerte me equivoqué y encontramos la puerta abierta. El acceso es por la parte trasera y subiendo una corta pero empinada cuesta.
De la portada llaman la atención el pequeño tejado protector de la puerta y la pintura que está sobre ella, que representa el martirio de San Esteban que murió lapidado.
El interior sorprende por su sencillez pero es bonito. La fuerza de la luz, que antes nos hacía pasar calor, ahora se convertía en colores brillantes que daban a la atmósfera un toque acogedor.
En un lateral se encuentra la capilla que conserva el sabor del auténtico románico con la piedra a la vista. Así debía lucir toda la iglesia en sus inicios.
Al salir me detuve a fotografiar un par de elementos de forja. Estábamos en una tierra donde el hierro fue motor económico en tiempos pasados y eso se refleja en su arquitectura. Para mí es un arte y disfruto mucho viendo estos detalles.
Termino con un par de imágenes que capturé de regreso al coche, muestra de las construcciones civiles de la clase adinerada.
Hasta la próxima publicación. Mientras tanto, ¡cuídate!

Hi, dear hiver.
To combat the cloudy and unpleasant day we have today in Zaragoza, I have travelled virtually to last summer when I was on vacation in the Principality of Andorra. I felt like feeling the sun's rays again that made us sweat that day.
Rays that fell on the lead when we took this walk, because it was noon. I had proposed myself to photograph the Church of San Esteban in Andorra la Vella, a 12th century Romanesque temple that has been modified.
The church is next to a promenade full of vegetation. The mountains in the background complete a postcard-worthy image.
The day we were there, the proclamation of the local festivities was held. Around the church there were craft stalls and we were snooping among themselves when we heard music that attracted us...
Crossing the catwalk opened an esplanade. An orchestra was playing in a music kiosk. The rhythm was familiar, because it was a sardana. It is a typical dance of the area that is danced in circles.
There wasn't too much animation, this was the only group that danced. When the song ended, we returned to the church. I was afraid that it would not be possible to enter because it was a holiday.
Luckily I was wrong and we found the door open. Access is from the back and going up a short but steep slope.
Of the cover, the small protective roof of the door and the painting on it, which represents the martyrdom of St. Stephen who died stoned, are striking.
The interior surprises for its simplicity but it is beautiful. The strength of light, which used to make us warm, now became bright colours that gave the atmosphere a welcoming touch.
On one side is the chapel that preserves the flavour of authentic Romanesque with the stone in sight. This is what the whole church should look like in its beginnings.
When I left, I stopped to photograph a couple of forging elements. We were in a land where iron was an economic engine in the past and that is reflected in its architecture. For me it's an art and I really enjoy seeing these details.
I end with a couple of images that I captured back to the car, samples of the civilian constructions of the wealthy class.
Until the next post. In the meantime, take care!

Guao que texturas, que frescos, que hierro forjado simplemente detalles hermosos a veces irrepetibles. Me encantan estos paseos no me acaloro para nada. Un abrazo.
Wow, what textures, what frescoes, what wrought iron, simply beautiful details that are sometimes unrepeatable. I love these walks, I don't get hot at all. A hug. @palomap3

😂 Ya te digo que te habrías acalorado bien si hubieras caminado con nosotros. Fue un alivio pasar un rato en la iglesia, además de verla pudimos aliviarnos un poco del calor para poder regresar hasta el coche. Para disfrutar a veces hay que sufrir, qué irónico, jeje. Abrazos.

Thank you so much!
How beautiful it is! The blue sky was just the perfect background for your photos, they are all marvellous. Lucky you that the church was open and lucky we too, so we can see its simple but pretty interior, with the organ pipes 😍
Fingers crossed the weather improves in Aragón hahaha, I saw it will rain for the weekend 😭
I hope the weather gets nice for the weekend, fingers crossed!!
I love Andorra, the mountains, the sky, the villages, the fresh air there on summer nights, everything!
The church is a little jewel and was a salvation for the midday heat.
One day, with @ph1102 we also have to go to Andorra 😇
Yesssss!!!
Empiezo agradeciéndote que hayas compartido esos rayos de Sol. Te diré que me he quedado un poco frío con la iglesia de San Esteban. No parece muy románica, sobre todo el interior. Como soy un ser complicado, ya mayor y cacarrabias, creo que hubiera preferido que nadie la hubiera restaurado. Me consuela esos detalles de forja. Por cierto, el paisaje parece magnífico, ideal para unas vacaciones.
Un saludo muy grande Paloma.
Ya he perdido la cuenta de las veces que he pasado mis vacaciones en Andorra, creo que esta era la quinta o la sexta, así que no hace falta que diga más de lo que me encanta esa zona.
La iglesia me dejó fresca, lo que fue un alivio para el calor de ese día, pero en efecto fue decepcionante comprobar el poco románico que guarda dentro. Según he leído en un folleto la restauración estuvo a cargo de un discípulo de Gaudí. Teniendo esto en cuenta me parece discreta. 😂
Me reí con lo de discreta 😅
Buenas noches, Paloma!!
That is such an amazing Church my friend, look sos beautiful. maybe after the mass you can sit and enjoy the scenery as well. ;)
anyway, Andorra is another country isn't it? or is it just another place in Zaragoza with the same name?

I don't have a habit of going to mass, although I could almost officiate one. 🤣 My parents are very religious and I have attended hundreds of them.
This church is simple for what I usually visit, but it also has its charm. Especially when you enjoy it while on vacation. 😁
Andorra is a country that is about 300 km from Zaragoza:

ah I see, it is still very far from Zaragoza, I am happy that you enjoy the visit there. ;)

Wow! que hermoso pueblo, la vista de los castillos es espectacular, lindas fotos que muestran el lindo azul del cielo.
Saludos!
Es una iglesia, en este país no tienen ningún castillo, jeje. Con tanta montaña no tienen espacio para construirlos. Es un lugar precioso, a mí me encanta pasar allí los veranos.
Ja,ja, la vi como un castillo 😙😂
Una maravilla este recuerdo soleado y caluroso... Y sudaste porque te atrapó el baile, ¡lo sé! 😃
Las fotos son hermosas. Tanto que se aprende viajando. 😊
Sinceramente el baile se hizo largo, es una repetición de cuatro pasos y se hace pesado. Aunque en las fotos se ve poca gente en realidad la mayoría de los espectadores estaban refugiados en la sombra.
Se aprende mucho viajando, pero ahora estoy haciéndolo dentro de mi ciudad para después compartirlo por aquí y lo estoy disfrutando mucho también. 😘
That wonderful creation of the Creator, the sunny and beautiful rays always allow us to see this wonderful scene through your journey. Shared beautiful views with a relaxing feel to the atmosphere. But there is a combination of nature on that beautiful hilltop that always inspires me. Traveling to such a place is really great and a pleasure. I am truly grateful to you. All in all I wish you success in this wonderful journey. Thank you so much for presenting us with a view more wonderful than the mountain top. It is beautiful and affluent place with great weather culture with nature and environment. Here you are definitely motivated to breathe naturally. Wishing you all a great day
