SP093

The Renaissance era town of Baeza – yet another UNESCO site.  In the couple weeks we were in Spain, we saw 11 Spanish UNESCO sites, plus one more UK site in Gibraltar.

SP094

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

SP095

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

SP097

Aranjuez Palace – another Royal residence and another UNESCO World Heritage Site

SP098

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!

SP099

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.
