Descubre NOVALLAS “EL GRAN DESCONOCIDO” !!!Te sorprendera !!!

Hey, what’s up, travelers? Well, as you can see, we’re here in the town of Novallas, which is a spectacular town. The reason I’m here is because a subscriber and fellow paden member has asked me to come and film her town and see its wonders. It has a castle and a museum. And in this particular video, I’m not going to tell you the story; the townspeople will. Okay? I also want to tell you that there’s something new in this video: I’m selling Paco the Traveler’s personalized caps. Whether you’re losing your hair or not, it’s your choice. So if you want the caps, let me know in the comments and I’ll tell you the price privately. Send me the address, and I’ll tell you how much they cost. They’re cheap, right? They’re going to take them off my hands. You should know that the name “No Vayas” comes from ancient times, from when the Muslims settled here, and it means “new land of cultivation.” That’s why we’re now going to see the house museum, which is a house of agricultural implements. Our colleague will explain its history and everything related to it. The first thing we’re going to see is the house. The house of what? Miguel Ángel Notivoli’s. The museum. The house of Noayas. The house. And what is this? Well, this is a collection of amps and kitchen utensils and other lost buildings that were used daily in the 1970s. Oh, because before, what was authorized weren’t tractors. Not tractors. At first, it was animals, the plough, and there was no vitroceramic. It was an economical wood-burning stove and various lost trades that are obviously extinct today . So, let’s go inside and you can tell us the history of this. How old has this house been around? In the past, in the area it’s in, it would be much older. The thing is, this building dates back to around 1920 or thereabouts, but obviously there were already houses here before because we have the castle, we have the church, so it’s the old town of what is now the town of Novalla. Well, well, because it’s been greatly expanded on the outside, but we’re in the center of the old town of Novaya. And this house, if subscribers and travelers want to come see it, is it open? You can see it. There’s a contact phone number, and if not, contact the Nalla Town Hall, who will give me my phone number and it can be opened. Okay, don’t worry, because I’ll include the phone number in the description so you can contact them if you want to come see it. And now let’s go inside and see what’s inside. We’re in the Novalla House Museum. Here we have an interesting collection of farming implements and utensils from all kinds of lost trades, kitchen implements, and everyday items from the 70s, 60s, and even the 80s. The collection, as we’ll see, is quite important, especially the farming implements, which are already extinct. Obviously, today, farming here is done with tractors and mechanized machinery. And now we’re going to move on to an area that was once the refrigerator, which is called a fresquera (freshry), where all the products from the pig slaughter, oil, and chorizo, were stored. It’s a natural area, usually excavated in Peña, where a balanced temperature was maintained practically year-round, right? It’s a very interesting area for those who don’t know, uh, the fresquera or the—what did you say? Fresquera or the refrigerator of the current era is the freezer. The freezer there from Latin America where what the colleague mentioned here is stored, food. Exactly. And everything needed to be preserved longer, right? Because the temperature was constant and very low here, and there was no electricity, which was a problem. Of course. Okay, here we have a sausage-making machine that some people still use occasionally, but it’s in use and is used. Also a collection of farm implements, especially, okay? This first area. What was this for? Well, that was what it was, it was put inside the horse’s head, and from there another type of utensil or tool was dragged out, okay? That’s called a collardón (collar). Each name and each piece has its first and last name. And now we move on to the kitchen area. This kitchen was called a farmhouse kitchen, and it dates back to the 1960s. Until the 1960s or 1970s. Currently, in Novallas, there was a wood-burning stove, then came the butane stove, and obviously today, the glass-ceramic stove with the garden, right? And here we have different utensils, the sink for running water. In those days, there was no running water, you had to have a tank, bring water from the source because there was no running drinking water, right? What’s it called now? Kitchen utensils, well, back in the day, it started with ceramics, then aluminum, then porcelain, a series of griddles. The kitchen was usually a large kitchen because the family was usually large. And here, this is called the cena, which is the area, an Arabic word also one of the many used in our area, where the containers were kept for the kitchen. For me, the cena was for, well, what my grandmother told me, it was the area, well, that’s it, where we kept what you said, and we also kept the sausages, where you can keep everything. Yes, but look, here I have a really cool little gadget. This is also called a cooler. It was made by a carpenter, an area like a cage with a net where you could put the cheese, cook, and with this kind of infinite line so the flies wouldn’t get in, it’s not a cage. This is also called a cooler, okay? And back in the day, they were made, like other types of utensils are made now, almost in a chain, okay? It’s a very peculiar little gadget, and the good thing about this place is that most of the tools and utensils we have come from people who have donated them, donated them to me, a significant portion of which has been thrown away because it wasn’t valued, and people have come to me and said, ” Okay, Angel, take this so you can put it in your house, so it doesn’t go away.” Most of the things are from the area around here in Novayas. Look, there’s a debate about this specific piece we have, which is two very simple rolls, and some people argue that it was used to wring out clothes, to wash, and others that it was also used to pass bread dough through it, especially stored bread. So that’s where the question arises. If anyone knows exactly what it is, please call me and tell me, because of course, even clothes and bread dough could pass through here. Of course, clothes could pass through here, just like bread dough. Exactly. And here we also have bakery items because in many homes, there was a wood-burning oven and bread was made, right? So there were a series of utensils that were practically in every home, or on the handle of the homes, for bread grating. This was a routine thing, but stale bread was used to grate bread, which is bought in other ways today. Ground coffee. Well, what house didn’t have ground coffee? There are many people who have saved it, but there are many people who have thrown it away and now they say, “Wow, grandma’s grinder or whatever, who took it? A sister or a brother, or are they in the trash?” Okay. And these little things, well, they haven’t given any importance, like the irons, which are also utensils that have been used exclusively here, but we have some old ones that were put in the line, the coal. So that travelers understand , this was heated. This was heated. This is an oven. An oven where it was heated and here they cooked and put the pots. Okay, so this is where the coal was put in, right? It was wood-fired, it was a wood-fired stove. Yes. And you would take advantage of the line of pruned trees and you had an area to remove the girth when a little rain fell here so you could put something in, even a small tank that heated the water so you would have hot water later in the winter or for washing dishes . Okay. So, once the iron was heated by contact. Exactly. To iron. You took advantage of it to iron. Okay. But I have a question. How did you make sure the iron first didn’t burn the clothes and second didn’t stain them? V. Well, first the second question, the clean iron to start with. Yes. And then the grandmothers and the mothers. I remember seeing my grandmother, my mother suck her tongue, doing that to know what temperature it was, with which People weren’t stupid; it was a part of life. And so they knew and were familiar with the tools at their disposal, but for example, if they touched the stove, it wouldn’t get dirty. No, no, and if they touched it with a rag or something, the iron was spotless. And don’t worry, people had a series of scouring pads that aren’t used today. Well, they used, uh, we have this type of soap that was made from leftover oil, the traditional soap, and instead of that before, with hemp, with esparto grass, there was a scouring pad that left the dishes spotless, so people got used to living within their means, and maybe they were happier than us, but well, that’s the problem. Yes, everyone gets used to it. Of course. Yes. The radio, well, maybe a radio at home, and they’ve also thrown away a lot. The little sign will go to school. Wow, what a memory. Today, when they see him, the kids would leave, they say, “They went to school with this,” I mean, and he still had enough left over to carry his sandwich. Look how strong he was. We went into the living room, where I have a collection of wine. Of different tools, no more wine, right? Of different tools and lost trades. Okay, here we have a collection from Novellas’s second uncle, who was the village animal groomer, horses, mules, donkeys. So, that’s a collection of that practically extinct trade. We have another one there that is a series of pieces for shearing sheep, which was done with scissors back in the day. Then modern electric machines came along. Okay. Okay. One question. Before, the one who cut the sheep, sorry, the one who sheared the sheep, uh, that was the one who earned quite well, right? Yes, but look, that’s my father, but my father earned a lot of money during the season, but spending 15 hours crouching on the ground, sweating, without, well, with water, and something else too, because the farmers were usually private individuals and they usually took very good care of the sheepmen because they were well-known people. Okay, now groups come, but people from here used to always go to the same farmers. They made money, but the work was hard. I’ll tell you that too. Haha. But yes, yes, but more than anything because wool used to be used more than it is now in clothing. Look, the farmer used to pay the sheepmen with what he earned. The sheepmen and the “costa” (coast), as they called it. The costa was the shearer’s upkeep. You had, you earned money per sheep, just like you do now, practically. But the costa, as they called it, the costa was the upkeep, bed and board, breakfast and dinner. Of course, but it’s what you said, they worked 15 days. 15 days didn’t last the same amount of time, almost two months. Eh, but that was done every year. Of course, the sheep are sheared every year. Well, every year, every year in spring, they usually shear so that the sheep can be cooler and more comfortable during the summer season . You know what I mean? It’s like us. And with the wool, they—uh, I’ve heard, well, they used to pay nowadays, they don’t take the wool. I don’t know if they take it for free, maybe. And I think they pay them €1 per sheep or something like that, right? Yeah. I don’t know what the price is now. I’m friends with a local farmer, and I haven’t gone up for a few years now, but normally when the shearers come, I like to go up and if I can, I try to shear a sheep without causing any kind of injury, which isn’t easy with the machinery that handles it these days. Okay, well, let’s move on to the next place. Look, I have a corner here that I call the hunter’s corner because, in the past, hunting was a way of feeding families. Now, sometimes we rack our brains, but that’s how it was. People would kill a rabbit, a thrush, a partridge, and at the end of the day, it was food to eat. Period. And very well, well, this is Corner, which is a collection, and I even have utensils to make homemade cartridges, which people used to make at home. Okay? And here, finally, in this area, these are things that have usually been thrown away or were wasted, so call them a fada, call them a hook, a hook, and I make them into bottle racks. That’s why you’ve seen so many wine bottles. But there are more wine racks than wine bottles. The point of this is that most of the designs I’ve made are to serve as decoration on a table, in a wine cellar, in a living room. Okay, they’re for sale, yes, but as far as I know, well, I’m not sure I’ve ever sold any of the ones I’ve given away. Because of the family and some commitments I’ve had, well, imagine if I feel like it and I say, hey, I’m going to give you this, man. But normally I don’t sell them. I have around 100 objects, most of them as duplicates, but this one has been thrown away. So with these objects that were thrown away, well, I’ve made them occasionally to relieve stress, and here I have about 100, I think. Well, travelers, if you’re lucky and someone likes you, someone can give them away, but hey, I’d ask the price first, right? And I’d buy one. They’re pretty good, especially if you like wine. Now we enter a bedroom. In the past, a bedroom was dominated like this. The bed is an old bed except for the mattress, which isn’t made of wool; the rest is antique. And there we have various very curious objects. We have the free, which was for the air freshener we use today. That’s a little gadget there, so it’s like if you were to use a can of fly swatter today. Yes. That was the invention, right? Oh, look. The other one is a bed warmer, which was used in winter to warm the bed, right? You could uncover it, put the fire from the stove in it, and it would warm the sheets for the winter. And the other one is a bag that was also used for winter, for cold days, so you would get into the bag with hot water, right? These are objects that were everyday, they were everyday objects in the house. Well, you have to remember that here in Aragon, in winter, it’s about 50 degrees Celsius. Well, winter used to be harsh here too. Snowfall, and you could spend four or five days without leaving the house. Well, travelers here get very hot in the summer, around 40 or so degrees, and in the winter, around 0.5 degrees, depending on the day. And that’s why everything you explained to us about heaters, uh, yes, especially in the winter, it was mainly for winter; forget it the rest of the year. But, especially in the old houses, very old houses, what they had was a very, very high bed, like this one, for example, to avoid the cold air, because hot air tends to rise, uh, obviously. Yes, of course. That’s it. And now we go up. We go up to the upper area. We also continue with quite a bit of material, or farming implements. And I ask, what are the wooden plows? They were no less heavy than the iron ones. That wood is super-resistant, so if you were to take that one and that one, and I assure you there’s a huge difference. You see, it’s made in two, so the wood had to be super-resistant, and that was normally done by a carpenter. Then , well, man, the iron and the iron, that’s a hollow tube, and the weight has absolutely nothing to do with it. That wood is solid, and besides, there was… And for the horse or the horse, wasn’t wood better so it would weigh less? No, it’s that the wood weighed more, but it’s that… Ah, it weighed more than the iron. More than that, it weighs much more than the iron. Ah, well, looking, yes. And here is where it was dried. And here we have the rare one of the house. Uh, the word rare says it all. Here, the grapes, the bees, the figs, you know? different things from the garden were kept, and nuts, almonds were kept. And why were the grapes dried? For example, so that they would last. Now, for example, you can eat a lot of these. Yeah. I eat a lot and it’s delicate. Well, yes or no, it was a way to make the product last longer. From what our friend told us, you should know that the village festivals were held in September, right? When the entire harvest was finished. Back then, there was something to celebrate, which was that we had harvested the olives, we had harvested the grapes for wine, the wheat, and so on. Well, then there was nothing left to do, we had to wait until the olive harvest, right? Because the olives were harvested much later, but the issue of the harvest and the harvest, and that had been done and was already… The potatoes had been harvested, the olives were more for winter, okay? That’s why they had quite a week-long celebration, right? A week at least, right? Yes, yes. And here we currently have a week-long celebration. Yes, yes, yes. Well, a week. When are the celebrations here? Here, from September 13th to the 18th. See what I said, from September 13th to the 18th? Well, we’re in the jewel in the crown of the house. This is the hearth, and this was the, especially in winter, in summer, it was the means of being able to cook with firewood, the leya with some pots. Here they had everything planned, they would open the door and take the firewood, the pantry that we have here in less, especially with the remains of the embers, they would heat what I showed you before, which was the bed warmer that was exclusively used in Indiano. And then we have that, the irons, the old irons that when a young girl comes to take them on an excursion and says, “And did your grandmother use this?” I say, “Well, yes, it’s a gift.” Yes. And be careful, you won’t get burned. And here, kid, open it. We’re going to leave a record that we were here, Paco, the traveler. Well, with the handwriting I have. I’m not including the DNA. No, no. You have to know that entering here doesn’t cost anything, does it? No, there’s a small contribution. I only have a jug here to make a voluntary contribution for the upkeep of this house, which is obviously to maintain it. It takes time, you don’t pay for the work. Well, you know, eh, you give the will to the man, you give him 1 kg of tansasco, you know that upstairs, eh, you can prepare it. I want to thank Miguel Ángel very much because he showed us the whole house. It’s a house that’s been quite well restored, and it has a lot of history. And let’s move on to the next destination. Thank you very much, Luángel. To tell us the story of Novayas, a spectacular town. We have the mayor, incredibly, Mr. Mayor. Here we have the mayor, and I think it’s great because this has never happened to me before, and I would like, Mr. Mayor, for you to introduce yourself. Your name is Pedro la Puente Aranda. I’ve been mayor of Novayas since 2023, so I’ve been here for just over two years. Yes. And well, here, facing the vicissitudes of the office. And what would you say travelers should come to see in this town? Well, we’ve just been through a tough time in this town right now, and things aren’t going well, but you can come to this town because it has a very beautiful setting. The town itself has Novaya Castle, which we’ll visit later. It has the dam route, which is a wonderful natural setting. It also has a sports complex and buildings that are worth seeing. We’re also in a very, very good location because we’re in the Tarazona region, in Moncayo. We’re very close to Tarazona, 5 km away. We’re right there with Moncayo right in front of us, which is an extraordinary natural setting. For people who aren’t from here, Moncayo is one of the highest mountains in Spain and it’s a spectacular setting, a spectacular natural setting. It ‘s a wonderful natural park and it’s truly worth seeing. It’s a place where you can come and spend a weekend, uh, where you can say, well, I’ll dedicate one day to seeing, for example, the surrounding area, and then you take the next day and go to the Moncayo Natural Park and do it. Well, and most importantly, many travelers will want to come here to eat. What’s the most typical thing we can eat here in this area of Aragon? Well, you can imagine that having the Vega Keh, we have a wonderful garden that has extraordinary vegetables, of course, its extraordinary fruits, of course, we have an oil that also has its own designation and we also have, uh, something typical of, even from Aragon, let’s say that. That’s, come on, it’s incredible. That’s so delicious. You put that there, you eat 2 kg of it. You put that there, you spread it for a while with little baked palates. Oh, how delicious. Okay, and so now, what are we going to see? The castle. The castle is just a step away. We’re practically 2 minutes away. Okay. You have to know that the house we saw before plus the town hall are all in one place. A minute’s walk and the castle is right in front of the house. Well, let’s go there. Let’s go there. Well, we’re in front of the castle now, and now we’re going inside with the mayor, with everyone. Hey, say hello to the camera, hey, say hello, and let’s go see the castle. We’ve climbed up here, to the top of the castle, to start telling you the story of the castle. What’s the name of the castle, the castle of no vayas? As you can see, the slopes are spectacular. And to tell us the story of said castle, we have Javier, who doesn’t want to be on camera and is going to tell us with the second microphone. So tell us, Javier, what’s the story? It’s a castle fortress that dates back to the 11th century, and it’s a fortification that only covered one neighborhood of what was Novallas, which is the neighborhood attached to the church. The views are all the Keiles plain. On sunny days, you can see as far as Tarazona with the Magdalena tower. Uh, the town expanded because it was just a single area, and as you can see, it looks like a badland. You can see it and you can see the little holes, which are some of the closest ones to us. Plants, uh, which is a remodeling that belonged to J. It was used as a town hall, and we’re going to see the buildings in the past. Well, they’re also building it. I want it to be the town hall, and you’ll know what a museum is, but apart from being a museum, it was a prison, it was a school, and it was a doctor’s office. He said, “And if you come by here, I’ll show you the before and after of how the castle was before the restoration.” The castle was like this. It was built in 1985, the renovation, the renovation that was left as is. Then, apart from the castle, pieces have come out that we have here in the castle from a charity. They took it to Zaragoza. Apart from the castle fortress, uh, we have some sites in the town from which pieces have come out. These came out inside the castle. As you can see, it’s made of Modejar ceramic, Morejard ceramic, belonging to Teruen , which is dated between the 14th and 15th centuries, because the fortress, as you know, is from the 11th century. Listen, then apart from this bronze, it came out recently, and there are only, I think there were only four parts of this bronze. The thing is that this is a replica because the authentic one is in Zaragoza, eh, it’s a bronze that is eh, it’s delta, which is an alphabet. Here construction began, Ru, let’s say the word what is written. Yes, let’s say, the la vearía began to be written in bronze and not on paper. Exactly. Exactly. It was carved in bronze and not on paper. Exactly. Here we have the room, the room where everything is, let’s say, that is, that is, that is, there are eight threads. Eight to store the large one that you can see on the floor perfectly. These were some hidden places where the town was, if it was a mass, the town was worth it, they had the grain, and they had everything on hand for the castle halls. This is where the grain was always stored. In case of war, anything happened, and it was the only way for people to survive. We have to come visit us so we can strengthen it and finish and fix it up because small towns, as you know, are not empty towns because we are centrists and we are the menamos and all that, but they almost leave us aside. We go back out to what is the terrace. This used to be where the clock was , which you saw in the restoration of 1985. And this was first built in a phase that was the keep, and then when they took it over in the 141st century, they built another tower because they made it more stately, more for family people, who were the Loris family, Ruiz Loris, and the Riscar Rués family. See? You can see what it was like, how the castle was built before. Here you have the, let’s say, the before, which is above, and the after, which is below. And the after, which is below. Here, well, these were windows, but they were windows well back in the day, because you’ve already seen them from the outside, you’ve already seen the arch they had, and here you can see how they’ve been restored. See? Here’s the old part, as it were, and above, which is the brick part, the new part. Indeed, uh, now to go down one more place, Which is where you’ll see the clock that the castle used to have, but as you can see, it’s as well-finished as possible because it’s quite well restored. What year is that clock from? Uh, well, I don’t know. I imagine the castle was restored; it was already in the tower. And supposedly, it was already there in the 1985 restoration. And once we’ve seen the castle, which is impressive, uh, we’ve only talked about stones, but tell us travelers, which is what interests us most, one of the legends that this castle tells. Well, this castle, the legend that this castle has, which was for defense, is that people built a passageway that reached from what is the castle, the cistern that the water well showed you reached the river that is on the dam route. And it’s that way they escaped. While people were fighting, well, the other people left, they left through the river without being seen and without being anything. There’s a passageway that’s about 500 to 600 meters long. The thing is, since it’s all fields, half of the fields are sunken in, and the firefighters were able to follow it because they wanted to integrate it into the castle to see how they escaped before, because our people. I can’t tell you any stories like that because there are no stories of princesses and princes here because it belonged to the Templars, it was the Templar castle. Thank you, thank you. It belonged to two families, as I told you, the Viscar Royce family, which was the second from the 14th to the 15th to the 17th, and from the 12th to the 14th, it was the Ruiz Loris family, who were then in charge of expanding what was the castle, because the castle wasn’t even what it is now, that’s what we say, it was built by a developer, and look what the camera does that ended up coming out. Above all, thank you very much, Javier. To you. We’ll see each other in about 30 years. And you know, when you come here, how do you get to see the castle? Well, they have the keys at the Town Hall. There are days when there are exhibitions, which is when you can see it if you want to see it, but of course, there’s no guide or anything because this has been done by volunteers, and with the pandemic, it stopped. The exhibitions stopped and everything, and now it’s hard to get going because we have to clean up . As you’ve seen, there are so many things to do. We’re interested because , besides, admission is free for everything, and this comes from aid from the DGA (General Directorate of General Administration of Catalonia) and from the DGA (General Directorate of General Administration … There’s an exhibition I’m going to show you because it’s been up for a month and they’re going to take it down on Friday. So, I’ve spent enough, and they’re going to take it down, and that’s why I’m going to show it to you. They’re called the seven forgivable sins. The name is odd, but it’s very good. And here our colleague Mamen, who doesn’t want to go on camera, is going to explain it to us. What does it mean to pass with this work, Mamen? Uh, well, in this case, I’m turning the deadly sin into a forgivable sin. It’s a universe of emotions, of feelings. This exhibition is represented by eight women. Each of them represents one of the deadly sins, in this case, forgivable. Forgivable sins are lust, gluttony, anger, avarice, envy, sloth, and pride. Let’s see, before Saint Thomas Aquinas reduced it to seven sins, sadness was a sin, and I added it to this exhibition. What do you want to demonstrate? What do you want to express with this exhibition, Mom? Uh, well, what I want to express are emotions that everyone, and I’m expressing them in a way with poems. Those poems are the ones on the wall, and they’re the ones you have to come see if you have time , and that’s what you want. Thank you very much for showing this exhibition, and let’s continue with the next thing. What are we going to see next, Mamel? Uh, well, the next thing we’re going to see is the People’s Church. Well, we’re in front of the Novayas church, which is called the Church of Santa María de Asunción. I don’t know if I said that right. And let’s see. Inside, what it’s like, and we’re going to meet the parish priest, uh, who’s going to tell us the story of said church. Well, we’ve already entered the church. I wanted to interview the parish priest, but he’s not very keen on the task, and he’s going to tell us the story. He also has a rather deep, rather beautiful voice. Let’s see, tell us something. Good afternoon, first of all. And that puts you as a very serious person, eh? Yeah, yeah, too serious. On top of that, he’s 2 meters tall and super wide. Don’t believe him, you already know everything he says, well, the opposite. Well, first, his name. My name is Alberto. I’m the parish priest here in Novallas. I’ve been here for almost a year, a little over a year and a half. And the first thing that catches your attention when you arrive at this parish is that it’s very crowded, I’d say, with saints, altarpieces, altars, but it’s very photogenic, which is what catches my attention. When you come in here, you find a lot of saints, but then when you take photos, it’s beautiful. The main altar, as you can see, the Immaculate Conception. We haven’t turned on the lights, it was an oversight, but it’s full of saints. Uh, among the main ones that catches my attention is this Saint Rose of Lima. I say this because I’m from Lima, I’m from Peru. So, it caught my attention that you have her here on the altar, but that’s in reference to some nuns who lived here many years ago. Then, Saint Pascual Bailón. Who wouldn’t you go to? The nocturnal adoration has been going on for many years, over 100 years. And there’s Saint Pascual Baylón and Saint Tarcisius, bearer of the monstrance of the body and blood of Christ, who is deeply rooted here in the town. As you can see here on the altar, we’ve placed the Virgin of Carmen, whose feast day is tomorrow. Uh, yes, if you look closely, it’s a bit dark up top. This obviously needs renovations because it’s a church that’s many, many years old, as you’ve seen in the introduction they’ve already made. What can you tell us about the altar? Well, as I was saying, you see several saints on the altar. Uh, personally, the first saint, Saint Rose of Lima, catches my attention. I say this because I’m from Lima, uh, having her on the altar, but that’s because many years ago some Dominican nuns lived in this town, if I’m not mistaken, and there’s devotion to this saint. Then on the right side are two very important saints from here in the town because it’s part of its identity of worship of the Blessed Sacrament: Saint Pascual Baylón and Saint Tarcisius, both carrying the body of Christ. There’s a nocturnal adoration group here, the group has existed for over 100 years. A little aging, but we hope it can be renewed little by little. How old is the church? Wow, the 11th century. You count it. 12th, sorry, do the math. I’ve done the math. And how does a priest from Peru end up in a village church? Well, we can talk about that in another chapter, it’s a long story. It’s a long story. On the left side is the chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Look how beautiful it is. Beautiful. Here three years ago, well, some of these rains, which we’re slowly getting used to, uh, messed up and damaged this altar a lot. The roof has already been repaired, but it still needs to dry out more before we can begin to renovate this part. And how old are these altars? These altars are centuries old. Obviously, they’ve been there, they’ve undergone several renovations. You have to keep in mind that they’ve undergone several renovations. These paintings are no longer old, obviously. If you look closely, they’ve been restored, they’ve been restored, but not more than 30 years ago, I mean. Well, and this is the patron saint of, well, the Virgin of Pilar. Obviously, the Virgin of Pilar can’t be missing in a parish in Spain. Here is the altar of San Marcial, who is the patron saint of the town. Oh, look. And of the young people, Bishop of Limjes, uh, it’s very popular here in the town. We recently elevated the festivities and also during Holy Week. This is one of the very important floats, the Holy Christ of the Chapel, the Holy Sepulchre. For generations, people have participated in it. They carry it during Holy Week during professions, especially on Good Friday. Then, uh, the body is venerated, and this chapel is dedicated to them both. Here, it’s kept safe because the chapel, as you can see, doesn’t It’s so big. We have to figure out how to take care of everything we have, which is a heritage, as you can see, very large. Not all the floats are here because there are several. This town, this parish, has eight floats. What is a float? That’s the representative image of the life of Jesus. As you’ve seen, first Jesus in bed, the death of Jesus, then Jesus on the cross. Here, you see, one saint is missing: Saint Joseph and Saint Teresa, and that side should have the Virgin of Carmen, but since the festival is tomorrow, she’s already here set up on the altar to celebrate her day tomorrow. And during festivals, something is done, a mass is said, or something special is done here. The parish has several festivals. Noves is a town of religious festivals. Uh, the main ones are for the patron saint we recently celebrated, Saint Marcial. Over there in the background, you can see Saint Barbara, whose festival is still in December. Festivals are also the patron saint of the town. The main festivals are in September, the Holy Christ of the Chapel, the Cross, which last seven days and where a triduum is held beforehand. However, there are also different holidays where a Eucharist is celebrated with the elders, the women, and by different groups here in the town. This church, as I said at the beginning, may seem a bit overcrowded, but when you look at it calmly, with silence, and with details, it has a lot. These are one of the floats you asked about a moment ago. What are the floats? They are representations of Jesus in his life, passion, and death from the Christ of the Column. Then here is Our Lady of Sorrows still dressed for Easter. Our Lady of Sorrows is a very peculiar image here in the town. Why? Because the brotherhood members hold a lottery year after year, and four or five women are chosen to dress her. Oh, look, to carry her in procession for Holy Monday and then Good Friday. That year after year gains a lot of interest because people are very, very thrown away from the Virgin of Sorrows, Our Lady of Sorrows. And tell me the strangest, funniest anecdote that has ever happened in this church. Well, many things have happened here, many things. Let’s see, an ambulance had to come here, people had to breastfeed a baby when they were baptizing. The previous priest was going to change a light bulb and fell. Wow. Yes, the choir stalls were exploding up here, and they thought something serious had happened to him. Or, for example, I was saying Mass and someone came in to be with me as an altar boy. Suddenly, out of the blue, they knelt in front of the Blessed Sacrament, the tabernacle, to pray, and I went on saying Mass as if no one was there. I mean, no, someone has fainted here too. That’s so you realize that all kinds of things happen in churches. So we’re going to see the next thing, which are the… What? Dams. And why are they called blue? Dams. Ah, the dams. That’s what retains the water. What for ? That’s something… That’s something Arab, right? Ah, the dams are to retain water for irrigation. For irrigation. Okay, so let’s see what it’s like. Let’s see what it’s like, because I have no idea what it’s like. They told me I can’t bathe, and I wanted to bathe. Ah, yes, I can bathe. Well, we’ll try to bathe, and if not, then let’s see what it’s like. Let’s go . So, walking toward the blue. Here Javier is telling us that he wasn’t going to jump into the water, and he tells me to do whatever I want because if you jump into the water, legend has it that you can get pregnant. Is it true? We check it out. Stay and watch the video to see if it’s true. I’m going to throw myself in the water. We’re arriving on the way to Fuente Vieja to see the first weir on the Keiles River and the Ablitas River, which are waterfalls built to irrigate the Keiles and Novallas plains. You should know that the blue weirs are made to retain water and irrigate the surrounding fields. Having seen and arrived, we’ve supposedly reached the third blue weir on the river, but as you can understand, thanks to the environmentalists, you can’t see anything at all because it’s all covered by vegetation. There, right in front of where Paco is filming, there’s a waterfall that, as you can see, connects one river to the other, the river above, which is the Diablitas River with the Keiles River, okay? And as you can see, you can’t see anything because there’s a pool there from the fall of the river. There was a waterfall where we used to bathe in our younger days and everything. Okay, this is what’s left because it’s where there’s the least vegetation. See? Let’s say it’s a ditch that leads to the main river because the main river is the Keiles. Initially, I was going to fly the drone, but it’s a little complicated. Okay, so let’s move on to the next azut, where there’s a bigger waterfall , right? We’re going to where you can drink the water and get pregnant. We’re going to drink the water and get pregnant. But it was a legend that the women used to say, “See? Have you drunk water from the Old Fountain? Have you gotten pregnant?” Fuente Vieja, which used to be a meeting place where when we were kids we would go to kill old women around the houses, and it turns out our grandmothers would give us chorizos and eggs and we would make tortillas and we would all gather here to eat the tortilla. But wait, wait, so travelers understand, what does “killing an old woman” mean? Well, the word, as the word itself says, well, “killing an old woman.” We would say, “Let’s kill the old woman.” You’d hit her on the head and the woman would offer you , literally, not as you say, “Either give us something to eat or we’ll kill you.” It’s more like Halloween, more or less, with other Americans. The Americans aren’t going to believe they ‘re the kings of the world. “Don’t go, we’re more in charge, even if it’s a bit of a hassle.” Let’s be clear. Exactly. I said. And that was a tradition that you went to different houses, whoever could would give you a couple of eggs, a chorizo, and that was the idea, and we all came here to eat it as kids, to spend an afternoon with friends. This is the famous fountain where you have to drink water. Okay, let’s drink water, and in 12 months, we’ll know if we’re pregnant or not. Mom, would you do me a favor? [ __ ] 12 months. 12 months. Because a pregnancy costs nine. Let’s give it a try in case you have to repeat it. Look, I don’t know if I’ll end up pregnant, but it could be in the bathroom, right? It’s the best water in the world. You try the water. Okay, let’s try the water. The best water in the world. Which one? From above, or from below? Excuse me, the people from Fombella came here to bottle it, huh? The people from Fombell came, man. Whatever I tell you. What are we going to call it? Uh, my girlfriend’s pregnancy, not mine. Well, let’s see, what does the water in “No Fences” taste like? Like a river. Of course, it’s natural, they’re wells. Okay, gentlemen, we’ll see each other in 9 months. Well, after a short path, about 5 or 7 minutes, we’ll reach the sign for the Route of the Blues trail. You should know that there are three, one that’s covered and this one that’s wonderful. Here Javier tells us that where you see the slide he calls it, that downward slope, when they were kids they would throw themselves down. Imagine falling there, falling again, and falling again. It should be super fun. Yes, yes. Well, what a blue is. See? A waterfall from one place to another. Look how beautiful. Of course. And now what we’re going to do is go to the park. Let’s see what the dam park is, which is what encompasses all of this. Because this is a park that also needs to be revitalized because lately there’s been a lot of filth about, and we tend to blame those who aren’t right because they can’t come and clean up, and it turns out we’re the ones who leave a dunghill. If Paco wants to record this, and I don’t know if it’ll be morbid, let him record it. It’s not about morbidity, it’s about when we call on nature, please, let’s respect it. Exactly. Because if not, it becomes a dunghill, and you just have to look at Everest, for example. Everest is full of garbage, plastic, and even human poop, right? And then, look at what Javier is saying here, it’s a shame. Of course, this is the famous one, and this, of course, since there’s no one to pick it up, well, we have to be responsible for picking it up ourselves. And this is a park where There’s supposed to be a picnic area, right? Yeah, yeah. And here people came to eat, and we came, but it’s a real mess, for J or bolero. I don’t know, as you can see, there are trash cans and everything, drums, but that’s what we’re talking about, it’s a shame. And well, this is what there is. Well, and gentlemen, eh, there are 20 minutes left until the next jump, but seeing the one here, it’s more or less similar and the truth is, the sun is blazing. M I don’t feel like going. My friends, well, they went as if they had to, right? Not out of obligation, no. Well, they went because I was going. That’s it. Exactly. Well, I hope you liked the video a lot. You know, if you liked it, give it a like. If you feel like it, give it a like. If you feel like it, and above all, subscribe if you feel like it, and enjoy life and smile.
