A Villarcayo about five miles (Merindad de Castilla la Vieja), entering a curve, we came across a small group of houses called Escanduso (Burgos), which descends from gardens to the river Nela. Reduce speed and, on leaving the curve, we see a small temple, which seems so small chapel, but no, then we say that a parish. So small that on more than one occasion, we have ignored the passing before him. If we now stop to see him was due to the insistence of a friend, who knew him of old, and knew of his random destination.
.
is the parish of San Andrés, humble building was Romanesque, which probably ignore so long in part because of its dilapidated premises. The natural landscape is really dominating, they attract our attention on the forests and rocks wandering spirits of Lain Calvo and Nuño Shave, Castilla legendary judges of that unborn, the sX, administering justice, the "Fazana" according to a law oral tradition rooted in ancient Celtic-Roman customs and Visigoths. .
The Municipal Register, 2007, attributed to this rural town seven residents, employees of nearby Villarcayo. People that one day, tired of asking dignity, humble supplication and begging outraged roll up the soul, talked among themselves and took to the roads to seek help from their neighbors neighbors. So with a little here, another there, and a lot of thing, this group of mutineers went up, not on the grapevine, but the scaffolding. .

Manolo, who has been a bit of everything in this life and has traveled trucker carrying salt, told us with lots of salt, something always remains of the profession, "that way with Mariano, Peer, Jesus and a few others, but no more than half a dozen, stonemasons doctorate degree in no time, back in 2004, accumulated material added good will, and repaired cracked walls, collapsed roofs, crumbling walls, whatever. .
satisfied with the gesture of the proud father of your child, we grazed, key in hand, to teach inside and telling us the selfless work done by the group of "amateur beds, while the other hand gave us a sheet of newspaper Burgos for us to see that someone had remembered them in January 2005, when "opened" the restoration. Was there a representative, even third or fourth order, civil and religious between these? On "authorities", the residents prefer to run a veil. .

Mariano, another "planter" in the neighbor instead of scanning, after showing the wonderful temple would also like to finish restoring, also declined comment on the highest levels "responsible for culture . He preferred to take home, full Memories sailors riverside and show photos of "before" the "during", and "after" the temple of Escanduso he helped save. .
preferred to talk about how everyone in "their limited intelligence" , carpenter made of mazonero, mason satin, or "architect" , contributing to all the most suitable solutions each occasion. He would have liked this or that, had been otherwise, but considering what he had, "is good that ends well" . .

And that ends well is this, a rural church, humble, if it seems insignificant, but deeply loved by his parishioners. Dear perhaps more by love than by devotion to the homeland, but that's not up to us to judge, which everyone has his soul in his "almario." Because for these people sacrificed so valuable is the small building as if it were a cathedral, as valuable as to face civil and ecclesiastical bureaucracy and overcome. .

And there is the restored church of San Andrés de Escanduso, leaving curve, shouting from the rooftops and the mountains, to hear him whom it may concern: "shame and humiliation!" . . Shame
for "competent" authorities, civil and religious, because they have been published as the initiative, property and the sweat of the people, who rescued the building from destruction and oblivion. Humiliation
to these authorities, because the materials have been builders "a few old people", some retirees, with more will than strength, without more resources than their determination, but able to do what, who knows, has and can be refuses to do in so many places.
Shame and humiliation, unlimited, to the authorities "responsible", with perpetual pillory and stocks, while we rejoice that, among the people, there are still ingenious "Hercules", who dare fools "Polyphemus" by the State Administration .
