Camino Photo of the Day: Sanctuary of the Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Encina

The interior of the basilica in Ponferrada is actually quite lovely, though it’s difficult to tell from this dark and slightly blurry photo. The attention to detail is evident, from the images hung throughout the church to the medallions in the vaulting to the low altar – which unlike many I’ve seen, actually matches and complements the high altar behind it. We prayed here awhile before moving on.
