Frómista

Who says that the Mesatas is dry and boring?


The canal of Castile with my shadow on the left. You can that this picture is taken with one hand on my phone camera.



Irrigation control with a peregrina on it just for scale.


The famous Church of St. Martin with it's beautiful Romanesque architecture.


Side view.


The gothic Church of St. Peter.


Right opposite is a small square with the most famous son of Frómista Saint Telmo riding on a boat (St. Elmo in English). He lend his name to the ghostly light on top of ship's mast cause by static electricity, better known as St. Elmo's fire.
