Calle Hilanderas, Segovia, Spain



This narrow street in Spain is one of the best examples of the contrast between the old Spanish cities and those in the western part of the United States. This street likely goes back to Roman times and the paving stones may actually have been used up to a thousand years ago. Here where I live, they tear down old buildings (with a few exceptions) and repave roads regularly. There is a huge cultural gap between living in my condo and those who live on a street like this. But the difference is likely that I have spent years of my life living in places like this photo but it is unlikely that the people who live on this street have spent years of their lives living in condos in Utah.
