I read an article about Keith Richards (no relation to Wynette, as far as we know) that referred to him as the most elegantly wasted man in the world. I feel that way about some of the villages on the Camino. Here are some buildings in Valtuille de Arriba between Cacabelos and Villafranca. The village is not dead though and there are a number of newer and well kept up buildings right beside the ones on the photos. I guess it’s not worth the trouble and expense of tearing them down.
