Astorga

One of the places we took my mom was to a nearby city called Astorga. It is about 30 minutes from our city. And it is a beautiful, beautiful city. I've included quite a few pictures of this beautiful city so you can hopefully get a glimpse of what a awesome city it is. I hope you enjoy them!


 Cool Spanish street alert


Government building-city hall




Palace




Cathedral


Very old Roman walls





Snow!

According to Wikipedia, the city of Astorga has 12,100 people. With the population of surrounding pueblos and villages, it has approximately 20,000 people. And no evangelical, christian church. Not a single church in the whole city. It was weird for me to walk the streets and look at the people that lived there and know that they've probably never even heard the gospel because they had probably never even been to church. And this is the case for many cities this size in Spain. Cities without churches. Please pray for the city of Astorga.
