In northern Spain (Baltanás), there is a hill that contains 374 bodegas (more or less).  They were built around the 15th century and are typically used today to conserve wine.

In Chaioso (una aldea), Orense, Galicia, España.  This historical edifice was built around the 17 century (more or less).  It is where the  nobles (wealthy aristocrats) lived. 

In Vidrieros, Palencia, Castilla y León, España, at the foot of the Curavacas mountain, there is a small hut that I found fascinating.    This hut was used by shepherds back in the day.  It is very nice to be out among such beautiful nature.

I am in northern Spain (Baltanás).  I love finding unique differences in other countries from those of the Unitied States.  It is common in the US (for the most part) to have areas to put your grocery cart at a typical grocery store.  In much of Spain, they have come up with a creative idea to help the supermarket put the carts back to where they belong.

In 2008, I took a group of high school students (Franklin High School, Elk Grove CA) to Central America.  We visited an active volcano in Guatemala.  Our guide (Yesenia) took us all they way up the volcano to flowing lava.  ¡Fue muy Impresionante!
