Slate, Slate, Slate

I think of slate as an expensive building material but they use it all over the Galicia and the parts of Leon we were just in. And you see it by the side of the road. I guess it is not expensive here.

Church roof
Fence
Different sizes, and in need of repair
Siding
Shed roof
And they even serve lamb chops on slate in Muxia

One thought on “Slate, Slate, Slate”

  1. I am remembering a lot of slate in Scotland and since there were mostly very grey, drizzly days, the slate made everything look especially bleak.

    But I’m a big fan of using the resources at hand and some of those slate roofs, fences and siding are quite beautiful.
