Suanjuanejo

Odd place. On one of the country roads out of Ciudad Rodrigo. The streets and houses are laid out on a grid pattern. Apparently they just built it there in 1957. Why they built it there I haven't found out yet.

There was this cultural centre where you can go and have a go at lace making, traditional dancing or other local cultural activities. The poster on the wall is for an "on demand" rural bus service. The buses have a timetable but presumably they don't run unless someone phones up to book them. And, a couple of hundred metres outside the village is an old monastery that was the sight of some fierce figthing in the Penninsular War.
