Valleruela de Pedraza or How I started to love the countryside

The first time I visited Valleruela de Predaza I said to myself “Boy, this is going to be a long trip”, I mean, what else can you think when you arrive at a small town that don’t even have a road to it, the car went through the woods for fifteen minutes before we realize we were in the town, no joke.

After unpacking it was about lunch time, so me decided to go to a bar (not really a bar, we decided to go to THE ONLY bar you can find in Valleruela) in order to have something to eat, and, well, right there is where my expectations changed.
The food we had was awesome, the home-made meal we had almost make us cry, and not only that. In such a small town like Valleruela, everybody knows each other, so it didn’t take more than twenty minutes until somebody asked us who we were and what were we doing there.
The friend that dragged us there, explained that we were going to help his grandfather for a week, fixing his big old house.
Obviously, every one knew my friend's grandfather, so after knowing that, everyone in town turned super friendly with us.

So, what seemed to be a trip to earn a bit of money working in a small town where there's absolutely nothing was in fact a trip were we earned a bit of money working in a small town where there was absolutely nothing BUT nice people and awesome food.

We all made friends really fast there, and everyday we stayed, after working, someone invited us to have lunch in his house, or take us to another small town near Valleruela to show us something.
My friends and I agree that that was one of the biggest surprises we ever have, we are even thinking about returning!
