Camino Photo of the Day: Castle

After passing several Romanesque and Gothic churches, including of course an Iglesia de Santiago, we came to this: the Castle of the Marquises of Peña Ramiro, built in the 16th century. In Spanish, it has the rather grander name of el castillo-palacio de los Marqueses de Peñarramiro de Villafranca del Bierzo. While under other circumstances we might try to tour the place, it was hot, we were tired, and Anita had reserved a shady outside table for us at the bar across the street. It was clearly time for lunch and a glass or two of the local wine.

Date: 24 April 2016
Place: Villafranca del Bierzo (Castilla y León, Spain)

Since Villafranca is midway through our day, two maps are required.
