high above guadalupe, villuercas at sunrise





a scenic roundabout on the way from guadalupe towards cabeza del buey





























sigpac is the spanish government's rural property index and provides excellent mapping if you are patient

fly away peter, fly away paul ... seventeen vultures sitting on a wall near zorita in extramadura

went to segovia to see a roman about a dog

a girl and her valley

at the church door in jaraiz de la vera


two posters in jaraiz de la vera


the neolithic graves at the gorge above gorafe ... sadly there was no sign post directing me to the biggest and best which are beneath the rim of the gorge





iglesia de los dolores in baza ... seven daggers in her heart


castillo de almonacid ... when i've stormed a castle, it stays stormed !
