In reply to Cindy. I like to think about who might have done these rather inexpert carvings: some nearby farmer, perhaps, expressing himself in stone?

I love the details on these churches – just wonderful. Someday I’ll maybe even get there to see them for myself!

In reply to Shobha. If you can only see one, go to Salardu. You can go inside and see all the medieval frescoes.

Very pretty! I might have to check out some of these churches and villages. I’m in val d’aran now.

These are great photos and plenty of inspiration for us to return to the Pyrenees and this Val D’Aran region. Thanks!

In reply to Janice Chung. It's in the Pyrenees, just 'above' Andorra. Part of Spain, and part of Catalonia.

In reply to Betsy Wuebker | PassingThru. Yes, and these weren't experts or professionals either, judging by how simple some of the carvings are.
