Curiosity · Huerta de Rey, Sierra de la Demanda, Burgos

Image of Huerta de Rey, not of the place itself.

The town is known for the custom of giving newborns names that nobody else bears, drawn at times from the most obscure calendar of saints. Every August it holds an international festival devoted precisely to names.
