It was hard to even take pictures of the palace. All the parts of the palace were giant in scale, massive doors, oversize gates and walls made of rough stones hewn into gigantic bricks. It felt like we were with Jack and we had come up the beanstalk to the ogres palace. Click here to see a better view of the palace in it's entirety
Situated on top of a hill it has beautiful expansive views.

ReplyDeleteWow, everything about your Spain adventures makes me want to go to Europe so bad! How awesome to see the art and the gardens and architecture! I bet it was super awesome for you since you have the appreciation for it. The food sounds delicious too. Your girls are getting quite the cultural experience! How did you guys find out about the mystery door? I need to make sure to catch up on blogs more often. I love to see how you're doing and all the fun adventures you go on. Oh, and I loved Rock's sculpture and how incredibly cute he's getting!
