Sahagun

I did a quick circumnavigation of the town in the late afternoon, revisiting some of the sites I’d seen before:







These ruins are being restored. It’s a building site at present and completely taped off.

Next door is an important Romanesque church, San Tirso. I’ve been inside in the past, but the door was locked today:


San Tirso is unusual in that the apse is built of stone. “Its a jewel of 12th century Mudejar architecture.” Says the guide.


Archway on leaving the town: Arco de San Benito, a Baroque structure.

Then, back to the beginning of town, to see the old train station building:


Finally, dinner:

On the menu: zucchini soup, grilled hake w. a glass of white and flan.
