Hervás

"According to the maps, Hervás is in Extremadura, but its forests, orchards, water, meadows and mountains, make the village a green paradise, a subsidiary of Asturias, a piece of heaven..."

"Hervás has not yet been declared a World Heritage Site, but it is a surprise is that nobody expects: an undergrowth admired by botanists of Salamanca, waves of olive trees, vineyards and orchards, three rivers and dozens of streams, that is what gives Hervás its privileged charisma. It is No wonder the Jews fell in love with this place and built on roman and templar history a neighborhood with medieval charm whose roofs play kiss.

From the viewpoint of the Renaissance church, at the height of the tower and bells and jackdaws, one realizes that it doesn´t matter the Catholic Monarchs were too clever by half. throwing Hebrews out, because this place is still so beautiful that soon we will need a passport to visit.

Hervás is, perharps, only one more village in this half-huebra place named Spain, but here is something here you can not explain. Here are violets, goblins and tenderness that tell you you're home at last."

( Valentín Ginés, “Hervás, entre árboles amigos”, Hervás, january 2003 )
