 |
| Spanish and Castilla-León flags |
 |
| Pretty house in Segovia |

| Approaching the aqueduct again |
 |
| Trying to get the sunset and some medieval action out of the wrong side of a moving bus |
 |
| All that chivalry inside the alcázar really wears you out |
Sevilla/Granada
These are older pictures that I think have not made the reel yet. If they're repeated, than oh well.

They can't kill you for taking pictures, but they can accuse you of returning to franquismo and start a manifestación!
ReplyDeleteAh. That explains the manifestaciónes. Yes, I want a 19th century educational system with 2 hours of Latin a day too
