RE: Art and Travel Notebooks. For the Merindades de Burgos: Vallejo de Mena and the Romanesque church of

Certainly. This style, which until relatively recent times was called, possibly with more success, as a Byzantine style, marked a real milestone within the European religious architecture of the Middle Ages, to the point that it was considered, in all fairness, as the ' artistic style of Christianity 'par excellence. From the obsolescence of the Romanesque, from the search for new challenges and architectural solutions, that style was born, from whose builders the great Goethe affirmed that 'they were looking for God in the heights': the Gothic. I think that travel and culture should be an incentive and, as far as possible, I try to show a little of both in my tickets, playing with the advantage offered by the rich artistic and cultural heritage of my country. If this little trip has been to your liking, dear friend, I am satisfied and grateful. Thank you very much and merry christmas.

Thank you for expanding my knowledge here as well. I had seen the word Byzantine before but history was never my strong point so couldn't remember where!

Merry Christmas to you too man! Hope all is well with you 😊
