I guess mine are not actually ruins as they still have the roofs intact.Prádanos de Bureba ( etapa Briviesca to Monasterio de Rodilla ). Someone was starting renovationworks.

Oh ya! I always forget that this was my wayward day@Theatregal...
Oh! Those of us who walked into town on the regular route missed this mystery. Wonderful.
This was one of my favorite places on the Portuguese Way. My husband and I talked about it for hours afterward - if only we had the resources to restore it! I even did some research and found that it was for sale on Sotheby's and actually still is!! Quinta da Cardiga. I included the link if anyone is interested! It would make a fabulous pilgrim stop! Although it only has 30 bedrooms.Great idea for a thread, @Theatregal!
Quinta da Cardiga, on the Caminho from Lisbon before Golega. What used to be a glorious and luxurious estate is in a state of total abandon. The tower dates from 13C, and the Templars were somehow involved. But now it’s just a nice place for a rest for pilgrims. Lots of wisteria and some beautiful tiles, surprisingly untouched.
IncredibleBuilt into the rock just before Puente de Domingo Flórez on the Invierno. What was the story here? A home? A shed? It was tiny on the outside. I would have loved to see inside.

I found another thread, that tells me that this is a Visigothic jewel. (I am struggling to learn and remember the difference between Visigothic, Romanesque, etc., etc.)This is what is left of Santa Maria de Lara, on the Camino San Olav.
Looks perfect.Oops think I stuffed inserting the photo. Sorry
Bygone yes. Looking at the details suggest to me, within the last 100 years. See the relatively ornate balcony detailing and finish compared to the neighbour on the right. And the serrated window uprights. Some money at least was around at the time.Can't remember exactly where this is on the CF but certainly from a bygone era.

Good idea!If you find other threads about interesting landmarks or side trips, that deserve to be tagged, let me know by PM.
This reminds me of a similar building in Pamplona. I may be wrong, but many buildings in parts of Spain were financed by returned citizens who had done ‘Las Americas’ and then spent the money on showing off the fruits of their labour. The one in Pamplona still stands proudly.
How? Could? They? Do? THAT??Modern engineers knocked part of it down to built the new highway into Coimbre. It appears on the Brierly Map of the Route Portuguese.
this aqueduct construction was ordered by King D. Sebastião in 1570, to supply water to the city’s Alta area [uptown], taking advantage of the existing route of the Roman aqueduct that existed before.
The design of this imposing structure, extending over a kilometre, is attributed to the Italian engineer Felipe Terzi.
My photos are sometimes too big in size too, so I take a screenshot and then try to post the picture again. That sometimes helps to "dumb it down", but not always... sometimes I just plain give up. I am a techy duffus.I'd like to share a photo or two but seems my files are too big. What is the limit in size? OR is there another way to share them here?

The way I previously posted large jpeg files was the way @Camino Chrissy mentioned. Sometimes the resulting files were still too large. Although the dimensions were reduced my phone only saves screenshots as PNG files and these take more space than JPGs. Other phones may do JPGs by default or there may be an option to choose which format you want.I'd like to share a photo or two but seems my files are too big. What is the limit in size?

Awww, JMac, don't say that!
Thanks Chrissy. I seek out things that are old and distressed, like myself.Awww, JMac, don't say that!
