Monasterio de La Hoz, Hoces del Duraton. (Hoz = sickle, hoces = sickles, relating to the sharp meanders of the river Duraton) Situated in the spectacular Hoces del Duraton, Segovia Province. Built in the 13th century but flattened by the collapse of the rocky spur above it. I couldn't find any reference to loss of life so I presume (and hope) that the monks abandoned it at the first sign of danger!

Not the best of weather (although the afternoon turned out to be glorious) and yet I enjoyed the shoreline walk.

I showed this before but it is worth a more detailed expose. The street artist, whomsoever she or he is, gets the thoombs oop from me! This is my favourite of very many excellent street art exhibits on the site of Chamartin Station's car park - to be demolished sooner or later. This will therefore be transient but I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Seen here, Greenbank Cove (deserted as usual, I often have it all to myself!), Crane Islands, and Porthcadjack in the distance with Samphire and Asparagus Islands. My favourite low-tide shore-line walk and rock hop follows this coast. It only takes 1.5 hours to do which is just as well as you don't have much longer before the tides turns!

Well, I'm fond of this characterful cliff face on El Cancho Largo, Sierra de La Cabrera. Here are two shots from full on rather than side on; www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/45630520/in/album/1040438 and www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43267964/in/album/1040438

Ralph; giant of legend who stashed his ill-gotten gains here from ships he'd enticed on to the rocks. Same place from a different angle: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/46348970/in/album/1036936
