to get literally inside the rock.
A pause in the visit.
The decoration pattern of Jaca.
Stones meets rocks.
The vault, supporting light and a mountain.

A little church at the exit of the village.
The main church.
The mountains, in the distance.
Vittoria
On our way to Asturias from the Pyrenees, we stopped by a couple of important locations. First one was Vittoria.
Typical architecture from the north,
with covered balconies,
hanging on all the floors,
sometimes protruding so much as to define a new house,
but always providing a very nice touch.
Vittoria's center is a series of concentric streets,
these are some of these.
A square.
Of course several wars also found Vittoria on its way.
The various elliptic streets are linked by such radial streets.
Vittoria is rich of street art.
Same view as above on our way back, in the evening.
