| Urueña, (Valladolid - Castilla y León) Spain |
It doesn't take long for the green fields to turn brown after a few days under the hot sun. This picture was taken from the walls surrounding a very small Castilian village called Urueña, which was also declared Villa del Libro (Book town) in 2007, one of only two in Spain and over 30 in the world. Standing at the village walls you have a 360º view of the fields surrounding this fortified medieval town with the majority of its houses made of adobe. An 11th century Romanesque church/hermitage (Nuestra Señora de la Anunciada) can be seen in the distance along with two dovecotes, one square and one circular, a common sight in Castilla.
