On our tour from West to East Europe, started in 2023 in Lisbon and extended this year to Tirana in Albania, I can say that this section was indeed one of my personal highlights on the total of over 4,000 km across Europe. Komoot used the photos I took back then to create a highlight from them. Today I am happy to provide a text for it. Enjoy the "ride" through this fantastic landscape. Thank you Europe!!

The Convent of Santa María de Jesús, also known as Las Gordillas. This convent stands out for its Renaissance ashlar façade, decorated with columns and shields. The church of the convent has a humble structure, made of brick and adobe, with a north façade of Berroqueña ashlar. One of the most important pieces of the convent was the cenotaph of its founder, María Dávila, made of alabaster by Vasco de la Zarza. After the convent was abandoned in 1971, this cenotaph was moved to the new convent. The convent was declared a National Monument in 1991. ⛪🚶♂️🌞

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in El Fresno is a religious building that occupies one of the sides of the town's Plaza Mayor. Built in the 19th century, it was consecrated in 1803 under the dedication of Our Lady of the Assumption. This church replaced a previous parish temple, dedicated to Our Lady of Galindos, which was located away from the urban center. Although its exterior appearance is simple, with ashlars and a brick belfry, its interior offers a reconstructed space with a flat plastered ceiling. On the west side, the belfry stands out with three openings for bells. The temple houses free-standing images, such as a wooden Crucified from the 17th-18th centuries and a Virgin and Child from 1867. The latter, the work of drawing professor Ramón Álvarez, is appreciated for the joyful expression of the Child. If you have the opportunity, I invite you to visit this church full of history and devotion. 🙏🌟
