The fortress above Alcala la Real which was breathtakingly high and had views for miles. We were treated to a magnificent history lesson and movie which would have been all the better if we'd understood a word of it, but it was magnificent none the less.
The church originally a mosque where we can only guess they had lifted the floor to reveal the tombs shown in this picture.
.................and the outside with yet more excavations. At some stage someone had irrigated the whole place to provide washing facilities, baths, loos and even steam rooms.
