Cycled into Caceres again this morning, this time to look around the old quarter. As luck would have it, we decided to follow a different cycle track and it bypassed the new part of the city, and took us round to the older part. And what a place it was! It is called the “Cuidad Monumental,” a very apt description because it is full of very old mansions, public buildings, churches, towers and palaces. It was mostly built by nobles and the church using money from the Americas, it is defended by a city wall and is pretty well preserved since 16th century days. Every time we turned there was another impressive sight to see. With new camera in hand, I was looking forward to capturing some of the sights for ourselves and others to enjoy back at home. I managed a couple of photos of the Grand Plaza which lies below the Monumental City and a couple of the historic buildings when – ping – no more battery on the camera – would you Adam and Eve it?!
