So, the other day I was in the middle of the desolate province of Soria with my dear friend Jaime, as one does, and we decided to explore the Yacimiento y Museo Paleontológico de Ambrona in search of Wolly mammoth bones.

Who knows what the middle of the province of Soria looked like in the Pleistocene, but back in the 19^th Century some Belgian dude conducting channeling work for a nearby train station discovered the first bones. Amateur anthropologist and wealthy empresario the Marqués de Cerralbo took an interest and started the first serious expedition. There were a few other expeditions and eventually a small museum was created.

Jaime and I arrived late and the museum was closed, but we did get to see the Woolly mammoth replica and to walk around to conduct our own -fruitless- search for mammoth bones. Fortunately, we visited during the longest days of the year so we could walk around a bit. After our expedition we decided to celebrate with dinner in not too far Medinaceli, which is a beautiful village!!
