Here are some pictures of the retreat I've had days ago in a house near the village of Urritza, about 26 km away from Pamplona, going towards San Sebastian
 |
| what greater way to situate a retreat house than on the crossroads of a "busy" road. Isn't that descriptive of a retreat: be at the crossroads? |
 |
| The front of the retreat house (o casa de convivencias, as they name it here. The architecture is typical of this northern Spanish region. |
 |
| The topmost floor. Our room is on the right side, looking at the picture. I was made to share the room with two others. This is definitely the last time that I am going to share a room with anybody else during a retreat.. |
 |
| The tiles are quite cool... |
 |
| Rustic architecture |
 |
| Evidently, the Chapel |
 |
| Down the pathway outside the house there is a stream... and a bridge, naturally.. |
 |
| The highway passes over the private pathway that eventually leads to a soccer field |
 |
| The stream/bathing hole. |
 |
| a view of the house from the bridge. |
