Courtyard in the Castle

Originally uploaded by Mikebert4

This wonderful little courtyard was found inside the castle. Through the far end the old Baths can be found.

Personally, this is my favourite place in Jerez. it’s just perfect in so many little ways. the floor doesn’t line up with the walls, the stone is almost 600 years old, the olive tree has been there since time immortal, the amount of re-building that has gone on in just this small space is staggering. And yet it’s so calm. I’d need a -much- better camera to do the place justice.
