Hospital de Orbigo

Since we’re ahead of schedule we stopped early in a delightful village called Hospital de Orbigo. The pictures show coming into town across a very long bridge, the church, some of the quaint, and cobble stone lanes.

But Sean had to explain the final photo for me because I hadn’t put together what I was seeing. It’s a jousting tournament setup!

There are posters here at the albergue of the annual competitions and evidently it’s a really big thing—not just here but throughout the region. I’ve seen it in movies, but didn’t recognize it when I saw it in real life.

These people take medieval fairies to a whole new level! Enjoy the pics.Meer informatie
