Unveiling Palencia's Hidden Treasures: A Journey Through Romanesque Art and Medieval History
A recent travelogue by Mónica Mediavilla has shed light on the rich historical and natural beauty of the Palencia region in Spain, with a particular focus on Aguilar de Campoo and its surrounding villages. The video captures a journey through various sites, including a stay at Casa Rural Los Álamos in Gama and a visit to the Romanesque Church of San Andrés. A unique highlight of the expedition was the 'erotic Romanesque' route, organized by the Santa María la Real Foundation, where expert César guided viewers through the interpretation of explicit sexual imagery found on ancient corbels and capitals. This aspect offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of medieval times. The itinerary also included the historical castle, Santa Cecilia church, and the impressive Monastery of Santa María la Real in Aguilar de Campoo. Further exploration led to Valberzoso, where the scenic 'Rojadillo route' presented a Roman bridge amidst a beautiful natural landscape. The video also showcased historical details within churches, such as original paintings, quarry marks, and even a 'selfie' of the sculptor Micaelis at Revilla de Santullán. This comprehensive tour provides valuable insights for those interested in Spain's less-explored cultural and historical treasures.
