No one about on a Saturday afternoon in September. Siesta time of course! Shops shut and many bars and restaurants closed for this sacred time of rest! It is a typical Spanish scene so in Sight and Sound some typical Spanish music from Paco de Lucia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oyhlad64-s

Madrid. The best preserved section of the Muslim Wall (11th century). Behind is the Almudena Cathedral. In front is the quite frankly dismal Parque de Emir Muhammad I.

The church minus its roof. This shot complements the one I posted a few weeks ago, here: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/46412996 The roof fell in during the 1950s, fortunately not during a service, and the congregation moved in to new, cosier, premises across the road.

Many of the streets go under the houses. A good use of space in these hilly villages of the beautiful Sierra de Francia, Salamanca, Province. You may remember this shot (just round the corner from here); www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43703060/in/album/999416

A Huer's lookout. The Huer had to look out for the coming of the pilchard shoal; when seen, the town would galvanise into frenetic but well-practiced action! The nightmare scenario was if it was missed because it passed by in the night! In which case somewhere else in Wales or Ireland benefited.
