And lunch
Doritos Tex-Mex (Nacho Cheese) was the best we could do on the country roads.
Breakfast
There was almost no place to stop and eat. I had this left over from the plane.
Windmills
I love windmills. They're so cool and huge!
Castillo de Santa Croche
The first news of the castle comes from 1186 and it is mentioned in documents from 1242.
Sierra de Albarracin
When we first came in to town we didn't know what the name of the town was. We saw this sign. It was talking about Sierra de Albarracin. That's the mountain range we were just driving through. The mountain range is named after this town of Albarracin and often has snow (which we saw) in the winter.
Albarracin
We stopped to take pictures. We didn't go up to the town. Looking back, we should have. Albarracin is beautiful! We could see a castle-looking something up there.
End of the tunnel
Almost to where we can get to town.
Tunnel
Underneath the town!
Wall
When we got in to town it looked like there was an old wall. Possibly part of the ruins we saw out of town? It was hard to tell.
Ruins
We spotted some ruins on top of a hill.
Trails
There were trails so it looked like lots of people stopped.
Of course we stopped
The trees were too pretty and then we saw the stream!
Birch trees
We passed by a lot of birch tree groves. They looked like birch tree farms to us. They were planted in rows.
