OLARIZ
I missed my goalt. Instead of this village
church I should have found a hermitage. In the church there was nothing, but these statues
- a hommage to women - I liked |

| The Valdorra is
a region east of Olite in Navarra. There are many idyllic small villages |

ORISCOAIN
A famous romanic church |

Bad luck
again. For it was Sunday and the service ongoing. "Praise" to these (poor)
Spaniards. Services often last 2 hours or more, sermons about 1 hour! It gives you an idea
how the dogma's of the Church have been (and still are) hammered into the heads of people.
I had to be content with the exterior of the church |

This is not too bad,
because these are Templer heads. By the way the same faces which I have seen in LINK:
Brandenburg an der Havel und LINK:
Skokloster, Sweden. So you get an idea of how extensive the
network of the Templers was |

Statues with arms up
originally were a primordial (birth) gestures of the MotherGoddess (Nuth, Astarte) |

GARINCOAIN |
 I always
stop at a beautiful romanic black! Madonna |
|
 For a good
joke also. . For here is the confessional. For extraordinary...sins, only? (PS. Or does
extraordinario simply mean "priest?) |

OLIETTA The promising, but closed church
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
In contrast to France the
local churches in Spain are often CLOSED. Moreover, it can be difficult to get a key. Like
here in Olietta. A entire group was waiting here in vain for about two hours. Nobody
showed up (despite promises). In order to avoid this problem it is better to first visit
the local tourist office in the town nearby, and have some help with your (exact!)
planning |

 |
It is a pity, for within there
should be more beautiful treasures... |

UJUÉ In 2004 I visited Ujué for the first time. During a (famous)
religious fiesta. The church was very beautiful i.e. with a romanic Madonna. At that time
I didn't shoot any foto's.....Upon returning I found the church inaccessible because of a
restauration. what she could contain is shown by these few images |
