A friend took us on an outing last Sunday to a beautiful "tiny Spanish village" as Corrie has since
referred to it. A ruined
eleventh century castle looks down on
Pelegrina. We walked up through the town and down into the canyon behind it, following a little path along a creek where the townspeople's gardens are kept. We walked and explored through intermittent rain and sun. What a wonderful afternoon! (Sorry the picture isn't very good.)
There is a walking trail from the "tiny Spanish village" to the nearby city of
Siguenza. What a pity we will not be able to return to this lovely place for such an activity. We did drive to
Siguenza, though. The
twelfth century castle there is far from
ruinous. In fact, it was modernized and now functions as a
Parador (historic buildings turned into upscale hotels). By then, however, the rain was coming down quite steadily, so after visiting the
Parador, we had to content ourselves with a tour of the city in the car. We did happen across a bakery open for business on a Sunday afternoon! So, we munched Spanish bread as we saw the sights.
