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

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
