| Just a small climb to start the morning |
We ended today in what one author described as a sleepy town "permanently occupied with siesta" so once we found a bed we decided to join in the tradition. High on a hill overlooking the town are ruins of a huge Castillo (9th c)which was a major Roman garrison with all of the fortifications for the protection against the invading Moors. Because of it's strategic location, it was the site of many great battles. Jerry thinks Patton would have had a field day channeling with Charlemagne here. Amazing how the medieval stone wheels used to transport the quarry stone are now found being used as picnic table and seats.
I can feel your joy in your words. I find it a great way to end my day. Thanks
