Castle in Burguillos del Cerro


Today Marissa and I went to Burguillos del Cerro, which is a small town nearby where Marissa does her teaching.  It was nice to explore somewhere different.  We have been feeling a bit stir-crazy, but Burguillos was beautiful. 

The main stop of the day was a castle built during the 13th century.  We couldn’t find out very much about the castle; it doesn’t even have a name.  Despite that, we had an excellent time exploring a world from a different, somewhat simpler time. One of the best parts, it was absolutely 100 percent free!  It was the first castle I have ever visited, and I was definitely impressed.  It makes you think, what will be left from our time 800 years from now? 



Castle in the sky!

The Pit of Despair! (There were two, and they totally made us think of "The Princess Bride")
