I love driving through the countryside. I’m intrigued by the Spring House. I didn’t realize they built a house over the actual spring. Very cool. Nice piece of history preserved! Thanks for sharing.

Your Basque home sounds very interesting! Can you imagine all that has taken place in that house over the past 400 years!! It blows my mind to think of it. The aura that place gives-off is unbelievable I bet, would make for some great writing inspiration!

Living so far from people and all the ruckus of everyday life makes one look inward as I’m sure you’ll attest to, which is a very important thing to do at least once in your life..

The water from the spring was very cold! I’m sure it would have kept food and beverages as cold as a fridge would nowadays.
