Torre-Alháquime





Today we went out to Torre-Alháquime, a small village only about 5 kms outside of Olvera.
We parked as usual at the bottom of the village and wound our way through the streets, hoping to arrive at the castle at the top.







Going through this archway, on the wall was a tiled plaque depicting a humourous tale about the good and bad children of the village.




















Through the arch led us to this lovely church and the area where the Town Hall is located.

We came upon the entrance to the ruined castle and were slightly disappointed to find that the castle grounds had been turned into a play area for children with seating around, perhaps understandable in an area where space is limited. Unfortunately it appeared neglected and not in the best state of repair.
