Very interesting town. With a little more night lighting of it most relevant places it would look even more beautiful.

A fantastic neighborhood to wander through and explore. Wonderful backdrop of the Gredos Mountains and autumn colours everywhere.

I encountered the old synagogue completely by chance! Hidden away in a side alley. This village and it's old "Juderia", Jewish neighbourhood, is very, very picturesque and the local people enjoy telling history and sharing stories.

Historic Site of the week

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
