Riba De Santiuste, Spain ( on the road again )

Wake up in the morning to this view, we left our little place at Suances in the late afternoon, and drove till midnight ( we had an hour dinner break ) to arrive at this little town about 200km north east from Madrid
very dry, but I talked to one of the local guys and he tells me they still get enough water in the winter time to survive summer
Evan checking out the outside of the Casa Rurales we rented for the night
and I check the details on the inside

turns out we are on the Don Quijote's route
town square with the all important water fountain
blown away by the beauty of the surrounding countryside, but also the similarity to the Australian landscape
Casa Rurales  ( holiday rental )
bridge leading to the castle, and check the contrast in colour of the landscape when it is near a water source
what a great location
and you could be forgiven for thinking I've snapped these pics in the outback, well, it's outback Spain
just awesome, I need an open check book from a wealthy magazine so I can come to places like this with a team to produce some fantastic fashion images
view of the town, with Jacqui in the foreground taking photos of the sunflowers
closer look at the castle, although we would have liked to get up closer it was closed, plus we need to drive another 5-6 hours to our next destination
and I love my sunflowers

ok, time to hit the road
