There are a lot of villages in Spain, there are a lot of villages in Castilla y L?on. Everyone has a Ayuntamento and everyone also has a church. On the churchtower there is a stork nest.
Oh, I forgot, there also is a bar in the village, that will serve you coffe, and jamon, or beer.
This is Spain.
But my favourite place so far, is el canyon west of Sep?lveda, called Parque Natural de las Hoces del Rio Durat?n. See Sep?lveda and Villaseca.
The canyon on some places are 70 meter deep.
Thanks Micas_pt, I forgot the Plaza Mayor, there always is a Plaza Mayor!

Yes, you're right on your description of Castilla's villages. I would only add - they all have a Plaza Mayor!! Segovia was one of my favourite cities in Castilla y Leon.
