The castle is so uniquely NON-Spanish as far as appearances go, but looks grand against the snowy-white Sierra Nevada! Gracias for sharing this treasure!

Incredible POV and shot! The castle is so intact for being 500 years old! L/F

Thank you William. It is built at the foot of Sierra Nevada National Park (Granada) and it is sorrounded by beautiful almond groves. Very nice landscape in spring.
