CACERES

I had not heard about this UNESCO town until I happened to camp nearby.  The campsite here is really well thought out with individual cabins on each site providing a really large bathroom.  Just like being in your Grannies.  Decided to spend Paddys Day in comfort so spent two nights.
Took a bus in to the city and walked to the historic Roman built historic centre.  Narrow streets, cobblestoned, towers, cathedrals above a spacious Plaza Major.  Settled there in the sun for a really good lunch of local specialties.
I went through a lovely old Arab house, kept in its original lovely form as a private museum.  The Moorish influence is so prevalent around these areas most particularly in the tiles on benches where old men sit for hours chatting.  They are reminiscent of those later constructed by Gaudi.  It's sad to realise the awful troubles in the Arab world today when one remembers their gracious hospitality and serene households.
