The windmills of Consuegra – thought to be the ones that Don Quixote fought valiantly, believing them to be giants in Cervates classic novel.

With very few other visitors, Consuegra turned out to be one of my favourite off-the-beaten paths stops in all my travels.

A lizard on the walls near Toledo.  This is a Guaddarrama Wall Lizard, and apparently a rare sighting for this area – or at least, so say the good people on iNaturalist!

The natural fortress of Toledo.  Surrounded on three sides by river and cliffs, Toledo is nigh impregnable and as such, this has been a key defensive point since Roman times.

The Cathedral of Toledo.

I really like this little lion outside Toledo’s cathedral
