Jaen (Thursday)

We stayed here for one night in a Paradore (Castle partially made into a hotel). It was cloudy when we got there and first went on our walk around the castle then started to clear at dusk so we went again. I couldn't resist taking lots of pictures and you can see why we stayed at the paradore rather than take the taxi for $25 down to the city. Happy Thanksgiving to us!













You can see the tip of the cross just above the rocks
