It was a large town by medieval standards and the battlements go a long way round! In the distance the Sierra de Guadarrama marking the borders of Madrid and Segovia provinces, although for many centuries this area was claimed by Segovia and they even went to war over it. (Madrid won in the end)..

Granadilla (Cacares Province, Extremadura) is almost completely surrounded by a 1950s reservoir, which drowned its farmland and which led to its inhabitants being resettled elsewhere. It has a castle, extensive walls, some nice buildings and some people have moved back here to cater for the tourists, and even do a bit of farming amongst the ruins! Have a look at the aerial view of the town on the map here, it's an interesting one!

A reservoir begins below me. Behind me, a little way upstream is the Monasterio de La Hoz, seen in an upload or two back. (for Keith).
