You can bet for that, the whole apple was demolished (the pictures was taken 02/2007) and AFAIK luxury apartments were planned there, on the other hand Casa Montes is still operating on another place. Sad because when I lived there it was a nice place with strong character, if they only could keep the facades, or build new ones with the same style... > Some years ago I've visited a town close to Guadalajara, I can't > remember > the name, the town had a nice Castle and a small Museum where I saw > the > original documents writed by Don Camilo Jose Cela, his powerful > capability > of description of the people, towns, landscapes... I think you were in Torija, near the highway. Quite nice museum, if you can locate the guy who opens it during weekdays (at least in 1997 when I tried), during weekends is an easy target :) > Is maybe only comparable on other sense with Josep Pla, among the > most recent writers, because we > can't forget Machado, Azor?n.... Indeed, but Pla's "Viaje a pie", which was read a long while ago gave me sheer joy, I should read it again, now that years and miles have passed over me :) > Thanks for showing and remembering this wonderful "Viaje a la > Alcarria" thanks to you Luis.
