Lost corner

Miravalles is a small and rather remote village, with I believe only one remaining inhabitant, on a country road to the east of Villaviciosa. Almost the whole vllage is in ruibs. Exceptions are the church and a small one-man farm, whose owner is the remaining inhabitant. There is Palace of Miravalles, which probably explains the extravagant tombs in the churchyard, but it is situated a km or so from the village.
The main photo is of the former village school, and the shadow across it is that of the village church, which I believe still considers itself to be active. 
I´ll put some more scenes of the vllage in the extras, and I´ll take them down again in a few days. From the left: The Sierra del Sueve (1,150 metres) seen from the church, the curchyard showing elaborate tmbs, the former village school, the former village school again, another substantial but ruined building (which is shown from another angle in the panorama), village school again, and a panoramic view of the building that guards the entrance to the village.
