Belchite,decimated village,Spain(Part Two)

We find an item that was left in the barn long after the decimation...

We then ride on a short distance along a street,over rocky going and arrive at the other chapel...

It too was dealt with in the same way as the first...

So...we ride on out along the next street and find the remnants of a cast iron fountain that no doubt sat in the middle of a small square ....

Afterwards we take a final look at the clear blue skyline before riding off to look for an hotel...

Similar to Oradore sur Glane (probably not spelled - spelt? - correctly) in France.

Its another very moving place to visit, I think on a smaller scale to Belchite.
Some pics from my ride back in my Triumph Scrambler days.







The church where the inhabitants were gathered and were burned to death if they survived the hand grenades.


What remains of the alter - I had a tear in my eye when I saw the child's pram



The remains of the church bell that melted in the fire.

just not now though...riding in Cuba is in my near future instead

your in box is full

so i thought you would mind if i post this here...

i was putting up a new post and saw your three posts of the belchite decimated village, even though i have looked at them numerous times i wondered if you had a gps track for that ride so i could get straight to it, as the surrounding scenerary was great as well

not sure when it will be but i would like it on file if possible

hope you have a great new year

rtwpaul - currently in columbia

Yip...I'll call in for sure. It'll probably be in the Spring time when we get more time....get the kids back to school etc after their Winter Holidays.

You can have a wee peep here to see what stuff I've done to the XTZ for Maroc
