Checking
Hoping the rain has stopped. That was most of the day. Rainy.
The bus
So, the bus wasn't here. It was supposed to meet us.
The other way
You can see the different buildings in the distance. This is where the troops used to stay. Open space within the fortress where the troops used to line up. There is a water reservoir which collects rain water through a complex hydraulic system. The storage was big enough to supply water to the troops for one whole year under siege.
Big!
It was so much larger and spacious inside than I thought. It was like a little city. Down this street you can see to the ocean.
Cool inside
It was very cool inside. I like the doors.
Tour guide
Our tour guide is telling us a bit about the house while we wait for the group ahead of us to move on. You can see them inside the door.
Short
The doors were so short! We thought maybe they were the same height as the cell doors? Just a guess.
Door close-up
There was nothing around to tell us which member of the family was buried in which tomb. We all just wandered around taking pictures.
Beautiful tile!
The tiles at Bahia Palace were so old we weren't allowed to walk on a lot of it. You can see Bill on the other side of the building.
Pretty door
Entering the palace from the garden.
Bahia Palace
Our first stop was a tour of Bahia Palace.
St. George
The Catalan parton saint overlooking the entry doors.
Our Father Prayer
The Our Father prayer is written on these doors down the center in Catalan. Covering the entire doors are the words "Our Father" engraved in all different languages.
Door
I think these are the doors out to the Crucifixion Facade.
Closed
The church was closed so we walked around the outside, just to take a look.
Entrance
Looking back at the entrance. There's a door because it's very cold down in the tunnels!
Church of Santa Maria la Mayor
We debated whether or not to go in to the church. It usually takes a while to go through a big church. W ehadn't eaten lunch and we had other things on the agenda for the day.
Cool door!
Kind of like the tiny door in the Parador. I think this one was a bit taller, but not by much!
