Finding a castle to visit is not difficult in Spain because (according to the Spanish Tourist Board) there are over two thousand five hundred of them (for comparison there are eight hundred in the United Kingdom)* and in the Province of Guadalajara alone there are one hundred and twenty in a region fiercely contested during the period of the Reconquista.
* France however claims over four thousand seven hundred.

Definitely postcard worthy. I also really like the one of the repeating columns/pillars. Nice perspective.

Castles always seem so photogenic to me, and you do them justice, Andrew. My favorite is the one that is so old it looks like part of the rock. Reminds me of a castle along Loch Ness that seemed to be part of the natural world. –Curt
