    Galisteo, Extremadura

    Posted by alansykes 11 June 2012

    Seen from miles around, the imposing ramparts of Galisteo are astonishingly like a film set. Built in the 13th century by the Almohads to stem the Christian reconquest of Spain, if a medieval walled town like this had survived in Britain it would be a World Heritage Site. Out in the underpopulated wilds of Extremadura, nobody notices it much except for pilgrims to Santiago walking along the Via de la Plata Roman road.
