Sunday 11th November
.
A Sunday for families
Church then socialising
Generations together
Happy thoughts, vocalising
.
A medieval market
Olivenza old town
Out-door museum
Wandering up and down
.
Music and food
Tantalising the senses
Castle and keep
Historical defences
.
Again, you were here
With us all day long
Enjoying the day
Caught up in the throng
.
Love you
Miss you
Sweetheart
Angel son

Held up in traffic by the Elvas to Badajoz half marathon
Inside a small local bar in Badajoz
The walls of the old city of Olivenza
Luke and flamenco dancers
A statue in the Plaza Santa Maria
Archway through to the museum
Ancient artifacts
Plaza Santa Maria
The Homage Tower, or keep, begun in 1488, 37 metres tall
Parroquia De Santa María Del Castillo
Beautiful archway
Wandering around the old town of Olivenza
Outdoor museum displays
A colourful scene today: tapas, music, street entertainers
Old artillery
Medieval weaponry
Swords and shields
Armory
The real thing, not reproductions
Medieval food
A noisy samba band
A huge, circular barbecue
Almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sweetly honey-coated
Later on, a pretty sky
Vodka caramel shots following lunch
A splendid Rioja
What a fabulous little gem!

We did stumble upon the medieval market quite by accident, but so enjoyed the street entertainment and historical artifacts on display.
A most colourful and noisy onslaught on the senses.

Thank you so much.
Olivenza really surprised us, with the local community obviously enjoying a fabulous day out.
