It looks like a cinder cone, but there aren't any volcanoes in your neck of the woods. So what _is_ this?
Alan SykesOnce the largest opencast mine in the world, where the Río Tinto company set up shop and destroyed a landscape.

TravelerSantiago Matamoros in all his glory still seems to be a popular theme - I cynically wonder if that's not one way to make a political statement without much risk of censure.
Laurie ReynoldsHe’s gone from the cathedral. Last time I was there they had the base surrounded by flowers so that the moros being killed were not visible. But now the statue is gone.
Alan Sykesthey removed it in 1939 at Franco's request when his Moroccan general Mohamed Meziane was due to lead a victory parade in Santiago.

I’m sure you already know this, but I only learned after three visits that the museum is designed to mimic the shape of the aqueduct. It’s so obvious but I never realized it! Are you going to Santa Lucía soon? I followed your tracks there once. Not to be missed!

Laurie ReynoldsThese are two towns we’ve never visited in Portugal. Do you recommend them both equally? Or do you have a favorite?
Alan SykesGuarda is much bigger and generally more impressive, especially if, unlike me, you get to see it when it's not completely shrouded in thick wet cloud. Celorico da Beira was a lively, friendly place, but I was possibly biased in its favour because of seeing it in the first sunlight I'd seen in Portugal.

TravelerAn Aztec calendar in Huesca is just mildly ironic, given the gifts of Spain to the Aztecs.
Alan Sykesthere's some fairly breathtaking cultural insensitivity all round the launch sites. PS Huelva - Huesca is on the French border. La magia.
