Camino Photo of the Day: New in the Manner of Old

This. This building in Santo Domingo de la Calzada is clearly new construction, using new materials not typical of this region of Spain. If I had to guess, it was built within the last twenty years.

I mean, I don’t exactly like it, but I certainly appreciate it.
