You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.
Actually, Andres Segovia was born in Linares, Spain. How far is that from Segovia, Rucita?

I wrote a great reply a few minutes ago about how, except for travelling to Israel, I have not been near anything built before the late 1400's. And how seeing an example of complex engineering that still stands after thousands of years is very impressive. Then I hit the wrong button and deleted it.

Anyway, please accept in exchange for the beautiful pictures from your town, this picture of the Rocky Statue which stands in front of the Spectrum arena, located next to Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, which is an example of how the Romans would have built the Colliseum if exposed to the modern concepts of poured concrete and lowest bid sub-contractors.
