There are monuments much older than that Puerta de Alcala, of which we Madrid residents feel so proud, which, even a millennium -which is said soon- before Sabatini and his meritorious Renaissance elegance, continue to watch time go by, with that astonished indifference that immortality entails. An immortality, in fact, earned by hand and beat, when Architecture was at the service of faith and Geometry, metaphorically and comparatively speaking, was undoubtedly the language of God.

Disconcerting and extremely beautiful, the pre-Romanesque church of San Salvador, popularly known as ‘the small convent’, continues to be, since those dark early medieval times, which witnessed the end of the Visigothic empire and the beginning of a new world, where two religions merged. dueled on the battlefields, on this peninsular side of the dreaded Pillars of Hercules, the indisputable architectural jewel, of that prodigious and spectacular Asturian council of Maliayo, today known as Villaviciosa, whose wine presses, following the most remote Celtic traditions, continue to produce a recognized international drink: cider.

Hay monumentos muchos más antiguos que esa Puerta de Alcalá, de la que tan orgullosos nos sentimos los madrileños, que, incluso un milenio -que se dice pronto- antes de Sabatini y su meritoria elegancia renacentista, continúan viendo el tiempo pasar, con esa atónita indiferencia que conlleva la inmortalidad. Una inmortalidad, de hecho, ganada a pulso y compás, cuando la Arquitectura estaba al servicio de la fe y la Geometría, metafórica y comparativamente hablando, era, sin duda, el lenguaje de Dios.

Desconcertante y extremadamente bella, la iglesia prerrománica de San Salvador, conocida, popularmente, como ‘el Conventín’, continúa siendo, desde aquellos oscuros tiempos altomedievales, que asistieron al fin del imperio visigodo y al comienzo de un nuevo mundo, donde dos religiones se batían a duelo en los campos de batalla, a este lado peninsular de las temidas Columnas de Hércules, la joya arquitectónica indiscutible, de ese prodigioso y espectacular concejo asturiano de Maliayo, hoy en día, conocido como Villaviciosa, cuyos lagares, siguiendo las más remotas tradiciones celtas, continúan produciendo una bebida reconocidamente internacional: la sidra.
