While slowly making my way along the Camino Aragon, Jutting above the trees, I saw ahead of me a towering structure that appeared to be part of a castle. Excited, and intrigued I breathlessly strode ahead and soon entered the abandoned village of Ruesta. What a sad, beautiful and lonely place. Hidden among the ruins was, I discovered, a tiny Albergue and outdoor lunch spot. I should have stayed but it was too early in the day to stop. So after about an hour of hanging out and carefully peering through rubble clogged streets and broken walls I reluctantly continued my journey by my faithful "shanks mare". The memories of that short visit have remained etched into my imagination for nearly ten years now. Until, yesterday I discovered an amazing document about the Village of Ruesta.
