If I had to imagine and, at the same time, extrapolate here, to Spain, some of those unique scenarios in which Tolkien placed, within that fantastic universe known as Middle-earth, the suggestive environments of the elven world, I can't think of a better place. that this secluded corner of Galicia, which, located a short distance from the capital of Orense, has all the necessary elements to make a succulent mystery and fantasy thriller.

As another of the many communities that settled throughout the length and breadth of that providential natural accident where two important rivers embrace, the Miño and the Sil and which is known as the Ribera Sacra, it is surely this incredible place, called San Pedro de Rocas, which, due to its peculiar characteristics, its closed environment and the supposed presence of a personage, Prisciliano, whose remains are believed by many historians to be, in reality, those buried in Compostela, constitutes a place, not only surprising, but also one of the most incredible and enigmatic of the Iberian Peninsula.

Si tuviera que imaginarme y a la vez, extrapola aquí, a España, alguno de esos singulares escenarios en los que Tolkien situaba, dentro de ese fantástico universo conocido como la Tierra Media, los sugestivos entornos del mundo élfico, no se me ocurre un lugar mejor que este apartado rincón de Galicia, que, situado a escasa distancia de Orense capital, tiene todos los elementos necesarios para confeccionar un suculento thriller de misterio y de fantasía.

Como otra de las múltiples comunidades que se instalaron a todo lo largo y ancho de ese providencial accidente natural donde se abrazan dos ríos importantes, el Miño y el Sil y que se conoce como la Ribera Sacra, seguramente sea este increíble lugar, denominado como San Pedro de Rocas, el que, por sus peculiares características, su cerrado entorno y la supuesta presencia de un personaje, Prisciliano, cuyos restos no son pocos los historiadores que suponen sean, en realidad, los enterrados en Compostela, constituye un lugar, no sólo sorprendente, sino también, de los más increíbles y enigmáticos de la Península Ibérica.

Thank you very much for such a kind comment. It was, if I'm not mistaken, Gabriel Celaya who said: 'poetry is a weapon loaded with the future.' I think the same thing happens with imagination, with fantasy, in short, with Creativity. I always try to be as creative as possible. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't, but the important thing is always to try. Greetings.

Es impresionante la humedad que hay en los lugares de las fotos. Efectivamente, en esta localidad uno se puede imaginar al "The Shire" de Tolkien, la comarca dónde habitaban los hobbits. De hecho, "The Shire" de Tolkien es una versión idealizada de la Inglaterra rural, previa a la industrialización.

Como de costumbre muy interesantes fotos y lugares.
Saludos

No vas desencaminado, aunque, para la Comarca, tengo preparado para más adelante, un lugar más idóneo, situado, también, en Galicia, pero en otra de esas provincias que enamoran: Lugo, que, como bien dices, me recuerda más la idealización de la Inglaterra rural de Tolkien. Muchas gracias y un cordial saludo.

Galicia siempre ha sido un lugar mágico, aparte de lo bien que se come.

Galicia has always been a magical place, apart from how good the food is.

Ja, ja, ja...en efecto. Dos de las mejores cualidades de Galicia: su magia y su gastronomía.

They are not always easy to distinguish in all their detail, since erosion and also the musculoskeletal tissue that practically covers them tends to complicate their vision.
