Andy Rodker's photos with the keyword: Hoces del Duraton

An impressive, rugged and beautiful place and well worth a visit. next time you are in Segovia Province.

Ermita de San Frutos, Hoces del Duraton. It was an isolted hermited but slowly became famous over tiime and became a substantial church. Photo here from distance: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/45475888/in/album/998284

I meant to save this for an HFF but forgot!

Monasterio de La Hoz, Hoces del Duraton. (Hoz = sickle, hoces = sickles, relating to the sharp meanders of the river Duraton) Situated in the spectacular Hoces del Duraton, Segovia Province. Built in the 13th century but flattened by the collapse of the rocky spur above it. I couldn't find any reference to loss of life so I presume (and hope) that the monks abandoned it at the first sign of danger!
