Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Encarnación

Quite a surprise tonight, and a pleasant one at that, were indications that at last repairs are being undertaken on the exterior of the iconic Church at the top of town.

The Church has been closed since September 2004 due to a fire and restoration work has been ongoing internally since but the exterior has been rather neglected.

Anne and I have often said that it is such a shame that the Church, which is visible for miles around, is a little disappointing once you get close to it, due to the peeling paintwork and lack of attention.

However, at last it appears from the activity that work is beginning to return this beautiful building to it's former splendour.
