Encinacorba

Encinacorba is a small village some 146 km to the west of us, about 2½ hours away and 760 metres above sea level. It is also the village where one of our friends comes from so a group of us were invited there for the day.


The weather could have gone either way but as it turned out it was a glorious warm, sunny day with hardly a breeze.


The church is in the Mudéjar style and is virtually a mini-cathedral. The main difference between this and actual cathedrals we have been in is that the people here are so proud of their church we were given a guided tour and encouraged to take photos.


It is remarkable to find such a grand church as this in a small village, population around 100.


Brick rather than stone is the main building material here. Lots of buildings have been renovated and look very presentable.


A local spring and trough ensures your horse never needs to go thirsty around here.


And then it was onwards and upwards another 160 metres to the ermita for our paella.


We could actually eat inside as there was a room at the back of the ermita for just that purpose.

Outside, the wildlife and the flowers were flourishing...

...in the peace and tranquility.


Another fantastic day out.
