If there is something that abounds in the mysterious and unfathomable Spanish roads, it is those heralds of decadence, which in the form of ghostly ruins, constitute a pang of pain in the face of the loss of such a wonderful Heritage.
Remains, however monumental, whose torn remains challenge the imagination of the traveler, who in them somehow also becomes a pilgrim, making him sigh for those giants of post-Vitruvian architecture, who a thousand years ago became geometricians of God.
Seeing them causes amazement but relieves the knowledge that also, in some way, seeing their immeasurable work we participate in a wisdom perhaps stolen at the dawn of time.
A time, of which it could well be said that faith moved and stirred mountains, whose stones were assembled to last, since in them not only the Divinity lived, but they also contained the gene of immortality.

Diría mi abuela, que en paz descanse y que debe estar al lado de papito Dios porque era una santa: "Tú no has visto llaga"! Ruinas es lo que abunda en este país. Algunas estructuras son corroídas por el tiempo, otras por la ineficacia del hombre. Yo me quedo con las primeras porque bajo del deterioro, como en tus imágenes, hay una prestancia, una historia que no se borra y que habla a pesar de los escombros. Internet fatal por aquí. Abrazos fantasmales por su culpa!!
Ja, ja, ja...sabia tu abuela, pero sí, creo que he visto ya demasiadas ruinas como para no sentir una pena profunda por el expolio y el olvido de un Patrimonio que muchos países hubieran querido para sí. Últimamente, la gente está siendo más consciente, pero en muchos casos, en muchos más de los deseables, es realmente tarde. Espero que se mejore el Internet, que al paso que vamos, va a ser como las telenovelas: ni contigo ni sin ti. Abrazos
I wonder what that snake symbolizes for this building.
That question is asked by many people. Officially, it is a lapidary symbol, a symbol of a stonemason or of belonging to a brotherhood of stonemasons or builders.
