31+ years ago

I have lived in this house, for a month, back in August 1975 (Agosto de 1975, 1975 hot summer)

I have never return, until yesterday. Driving in the nearby E802/A23/IP2 highway I decided to take a 12 kms detour and take this picture.

All the place was changed, as you might as well guess, but I managed to find the spot.

BUT from the picture we can see that the house has been VERY closed to be consumed by fire very recently. We can see burned trees as far as 10 meters.
