Camino Photo of the Day: Standing Stones
The stone circle near Atapuerca might not be much to look at, but it is a neolithic construction, now designated as an UNESCO World Heritage site. Humans have been living in the area more or less continuously for something like half a million years, with the earliest examples of Homo antecessor dating to 800,000 years ago or more. It’s an evocative place, where one can feel the thinness of the veil between this world and the next.
