Apart from the buildings I saw the most amazing illuminated manuscripts there. It is outside Madrid some distance. Not sure how you would get there... a group of us went by taxi when I did it.<br />Have fun.

When you aren't a city dweller it's fascinating to be in a city and watch the goings on. I did that yesterday in Bristol in the quiet times when I was stewarding an exhibition. We live at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac so nothing goes by apart from a few dogs, pedestrians and a squirrel or two.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
