Janet and Jon are following your posts and sending positive energy from some of your favourite places – Puente la Reine and Estella! We’re looking forward to your posts yet to come from Via Francigena, if that’s what your choice will be.

  Thanks Janet and Jon. We are in Minneapolis right now, squeezing in a quick trip before radiation starts on July 5. Enjoy the food and wine in Spain!

Walking Coast To Coast in Andalucía: Day 24 Castillo de Castellar A welcome day of rest. And what a place to veg out. Castillo is, as you might guess, a castle. One that dates back in its present Moorish form to the 13th Century. Positioned high on a hilltop, with Gibraltar clearly visible on the horizon, the castle has been a strategic point for both Muslim and Christian nations, who battled back and forth for control of this Andalucian frontier. Spain's Catholic forces won the battle in 1492 but the castle retains its early Moorish underpinnings. The tiny village behind the fort is a maze of crooked streets, all white plaster with splashes of colourful flowers everywhere. The castle itself is now a hotel and, much to our surprise, our 'superior double room' turned out to be a three storey suite with the top level being an open turret-cum-patio with 360° views over all of Andalucia as well as Gibraltar and Morocco. Take a look Gail's guided video tour on my blog at WalkClickMake.com or on YouTube at WalkClickMake. 25/05/19 #moorsinspain #castillodecastellar #olympusomdem5markii #olympus1240pro #spain #andalucia #courgette #catsofinstagram #documentaryphotography #travelphotography #castillodecastellar @tugasahoteles
