we took a very pleasant trip to the village of ripoll, about 2 hours by train from barcelona.
it is a small town close to the pyrenees, full of history and albeit being inland, it has a very interesting cuisine. in the old days their wealth came primarily from sheep-herding so there was a thriving wool industry. paralell to it there was also an important jute industry.
during the week i will be posting photos of the delightful ethnographic museum full of tools of the trade and assorted textiles.
for now some photos of the romanesque monastery.

These look like great sites to draw.
