Castle-convent
                                          
This is a Gothic castle with a rose window in its church that should not be missed.
                                          
This castle-convent consists of three walled  enclosures. In the first wall, oriented towards the south, you find the  Gate of the Sun, where the way up to the castle begins. It is a gate  made of volcanic stone, like the arches of the cloister. On the main  façade the Iron Gate gives access to the fortress and to an area covered  by a stonemasonry vault. In the convent, the plasterwork decorating its  walls is outstanding. In the church, the most important feature is a  Gothic-style rose window. Within the fortress there are also guest  quarters and the Field of the Martyrs (cemetery of the Order of  Calatrava). Between the hallowed ground and the church is the access to  the Castle, which has a library whose walls are entirely of stone to  prevent fires.

Look forward to it VP.
BTW - I posted some photos in the Christmas contest last month which DJI Grace 'liked' am I right in thinking that for doing that we get 500 points just as a participant (not a winner)?

Very nice I'm in the same position as you hehehe I'll hit the 5000 when I get the reward for sure.
Sounds great, I really recommend you to get some ND filters I have a set from PGYTECH for my Spark and I'm very satisfied with the performance when shooting in strong sun light.
