This week, Frizztext challenge is letter «D»…
I am a bit late, because the weather has been very bad, but today I went out to the capital with C. and both dogs…And we arrived to this square: «Plaza del Grano» just at Dusk…
Plaza del Grano, León, Spain
This is probably the oldest square in León, part of the «Camino de Santiago», and the ground is paved with stones….
It was working as a market square for many centuries and, even, as an «arena» or «plaza de toros» in the XVII century…
The church is called «Santa María del Camino», and it is from the XI century…
The houses with wood arcades you can see on your right are from the XVI century, while the fountain on the front is from the XVIII: it simbolizes the two rivers of León: the «Torío» and the «Bernesga»…
This square was also used as a place for execution in the old days…
If once if your life you try to follow the «Camino», and you happen to be in León, do not forget this place..
….Especially at dusk….

Really great photo. I love the oldness you can see and almost feel.
Thanks a lot Angelina!!! When we arrived there it was a surprise…The light was great!
great twilight moment!
Thanks a lot Frizz!
I love this shot. Absolutely perfect. I like images that make me want to stare at them for a while. This one has that effect. 🙂
Oh! Thanks a lot!!! I am happy it has that effect…We reached the square through a very narrow street (in the old times the prost….street)…and it was like a scenario..We stopped there for a while, and then I started to take pics of the place…If the picture has been able to give to you that same feeling..Then..I think it is great!!!!.
Una vez estuve a punto de iniciar el camino de Santiago con mi pareja. Al final no nos decidimos. Si vuelve a haber otra ocasión, no olvidaré esta bonita plaza de León.
Abrazos.

Yo quiero hacerlo desde hace dois años, pero mi chico no está convencido de hacerlo andando…
