Murcia Cathedral

Murcia Cathedral
If there were but one reason to visit the city of Murcia, it would have to be to see the cathedral – La Catedral de Santa María is the most impressive monument in the city. You can’t really miss it! Its 92 metre tower can be seen from miles around.
The Cathedral was built on the foundations of an old mosque and the first stone laid in 1394 but the building, as it appears today, was not completed until the 18th century.

Ronda – Tajo Gorge & Puente Nuevo

| Ronda – Tajo Gorge & Puente Nuevo © Robert Bovington |
The bridge is hardly as new as its name implies – it was built over 200 years ago! It is the focal point of the town. It is a masterpiece of architecture and engineering but it took 42 years to build and special machines had to be invented to raise the huge solid stone blocks from the bottom of the gorge. Various vantage points on the bridge provide spectacular views of the gorge far below.

Almond Blossom in the Alpujarras
almond blossom nr Albondon (Alpujarra Granada) © Robert Bovington
“It’s like going to heaven,” my wife commented, on our first drive into the Alpujarras. We had left Roquetas on one of the few grey days. It was in February and there was a lot of low cloud. We had only travelled a few miles up into the mountains, but it was a different world. Above the clouds, there was a bright blue sky and beautiful white and pink blossom of the almond trees.
