Cuenca
|
|
|||||||
|
Preparing for lunch at the Parador in Cuenca, where I had my magnificent banquet - followed by a night clutching onto the lavatory seat. |
|||||||
Toledo
|
|
|||||||
|
As you can see, this is a view of Toledo from our hotel terrace. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Tha Alcazar in Toledo. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Preparing for lunch in an excellent little restaurant in a square near the Jewish quarter. |
|||||||
Zamora
|
|
|||||||
|
Jesse posing in front of the full sized mounted knight at the Parador in Zamora. The dining room is up the stairs through the door on the left. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Beautiful, isn't it? The Zamora Parador in the evening. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
The bar at the Zamora Parador. |
|||||||
Salamanca
|
|
|||||||
|
The main square in Salamanca. We ate the whole roasted little pig in a wonderful restaurant behind the square. |
|||||||
Merida
|
|
|
||||||||
|
Some of the impressive Roman ruins at Merida. And look at those mosaics - about one thousand years before the Moors arrived - even before Mohammed was born. Yet, the new politically correct version of history is that the Moors created civilization in Spain. What nonsense. |
|||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
The top two pictures are of the Moor fort at Merida. All the rocks you can see were taken by the Moors from the Roman ruins. The Moor fort was also built out of the rocks carved by the Romans. If you ever visit Merida, compare the perfect fitting of the Roman buildings with the crude construction of the Moor fort. |
|||||||||
|
|
The bridge on the left is Roman. They also built an aqueduct for the town - again, a thousand years before Islam was even conceived. |
||||||||
Zafra
|
|
|||||||
|
The Zafra Parador at night. There's the Voyager on the right. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
The inside patio at Zafra. My 'spiritual quest' continued through the afternoon - with a bottle of wine left over from lunch. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
That is the entrance to the dining room - just before dinner. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
The boys having a go at the fair - the Parador in the background. Wonderful - another great meal only minutes away. |
