| Happy holidays from Spain! |
For this special holiday blog, I'm giving my faithful readers exactly what you want: pictures of a fantastic castle. Minimal explanation. These are my snaps from my trip to Ponferrada earlier this month. Enjoy!
 |
When the Pons Ferratus (iron bridge) was built here to help the pilgrims to Santiago
in the twelfth century, the Knights Templar settled in to protect and care for the holy travelers. |
 |
| Most of the castle we see today was built during the time of Isabel and Fernando. |
 |
| The town built up around the castle during a period of neglect. |
 |
| Let the end of the world find us dancing! |
