This historical mining village was once the source of copper
This Romanesque church sits high on a hill overlooking the village
 
This mural remembers the original parishioners of the church
Access to the church is through a covered stairway of 160 steps

When we left this village, we didn't get too far
Our bus blew a tire swerving to avoid a car on our side of the road
Our cheerful group took the delay in stride. The French lady played her flute.
A girl from Finland taught others how to juggle and the Asian contingent did some Tai Chi.
We got back to our hotel around 10 pm, but they kept the kitchen open so we didn't starve
