Good evening, blog friends, how are you? Here I am with the second part of my trip to the small village of San Momme. You can find the first part of my journey here:

Regarding this small village, also beloved by Matilda of Canossa, I believe it is at its best in autumn. After strolling through the square and seeing the church, we decided to wander through some of the alleys and discovered that almost all of the village's alleys lead to forest trails. The forest is an integral part of the village, but to go for a walk in the autumn woods, you need to be somewhat equipped with suitable footwear and walking poles, which unfortunately we weren't. However, we promised ourselves that in the future we'd try to explore some trails because we really enjoy walking in the woods. San Momme is made up of small houses, almost all close together. Some are fairly modern terraced houses, almost all well-maintained, while others are traditional, gray stone houses, very beautiful to look at and with thick walls. Winters here are cold, as it's a mountainous area, and it often snows or the road freezes, and the temperature here is much lower than in my village. Very few people stay here in the winter, mostly elderly people, with a few young people and families.
Buenas noches, amigos del blog, ¿cómo están? Aquí estoy con la segunda parte de mi viaje al pequeño pueblo de San Momme.

Este pueblecito, también querido por Matilde de Canossa, luce en todo su esplendor en otoño. Tras pasear por la plaza y ver la iglesia, decidimos adentrarnos en sus callejuelas y descubrimos que casi todas desembocan en senderos forestales. El bosque es parte esencial del pueblo, pero para caminar por él en otoño, es necesario llevar calzado adecuado y bastones de senderismo, algo que, lamentablemente, no teníamos. Sin embargo, nos prometimos que en el futuro intentaríamos explorar algunos senderos, ya que disfrutamos mucho caminando por el bosque. San Momme está formado por casitas, casi todas muy juntas. Algunas son casas adosadas bastante modernas, casi todas bien conservadas, mientras que otras son casas tradicionales de piedra gris, muy bonitas y con muros gruesos. Los inviernos aquí son fríos, ya que es una zona montañosa, y a menudo nieva o la carretera se congela, y la temperatura es mucho más baja que en mi pueblo. Muy poca gente se queda aquí en invierno, sobre todo personas mayores, con algunos jóvenes y familias.
I love San Momme this season. After wandering through some peaceful alleys, we also visited the small village park, also a riot of autumn trees. The park was empty at the time, but in the summer, various events and festivals are held here, and even during the Christmas holidays, there are some events selling local products like chestnut jam, honey, and other chestnut-based products and dairy products. Despite being small, San Momme is very lively and popular in the summer. Unfortunately, however, it has some structural problems; the road leading to it often collapses, forcing residents to take countless detours to get to town. The same thing happens when it freezes over and the snowplows forget about this little village. However, for a quick visit or a quick getaway, it's very pretty and can be explored in a few hours. If you plan ahead, there are numerous hiking trails, and this village is an excellent starting point for hikers. It's also surrounded by chestnut woods, making it perfect for chestnut hunting or mushroom hunting. If you love the woods, I highly recommend it. It's a charming, quiet village where you can take a quiet walk surrounded by old houses and nature. A little gem hidden in the mountains.
Me encanta San Momme en esta época del año. Tras pasear por sus tranquilas callejuelas, visitamos el pequeño parque del pueblo, un auténtico espectáculo de árboles otoñales. El parque estaba vacío, pero en verano se celebran diversos eventos y festivales, e incluso durante las fiestas navideñas hay mercadillos donde se venden productos locales como mermelada de castañas, miel y otros derivados de la castaña y productos lácteos. A pesar de su pequeño tamaño, San Momme es muy animado y popular en verano. Sin embargo, tiene algunos problemas estructurales: la carretera de acceso suele derrumbarse, obligando a los residentes a dar innumerables rodeos para llegar al pueblo. Lo mismo ocurre cuando se congela y las quitanieves se olvidan de este pueblecito. Aun así, para una visita rápida o una escapada, es precioso y se puede recorrer en pocas horas. Si se planifica con antelación, hay numerosas rutas de senderismo, y este pueblo es un excelente punto de partida para los senderistas. Además, está rodeado de castañares, lo que lo hace perfecto para buscar castañas o setas. Si te gusta el bosque, te lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Es un pueblo encantador y tranquilo donde puedes dar un paseo apacible rodeado de casas antiguas y naturaleza. Una pequeña joya escondida en las montañas.

Probably steady hands because I was walking fast while I'm photography 😂😂 my fault I need to stop for photos but my husband say to me " hurry"😂

San Momme is a beautiful place to visit. It is a beautiful place actually and I think it is more beautiful when it is summer where there are lots of people just like what you said. I also like the way you describe the place and how you find ways like detours for those who will be planning to go there. Soon, I will also visit this place.
